Can the thermostat be calibrated? Ours is 3 degrees off!

yes there is a setting in the instructions that will allow for a six degree + or - change.

Mine was the same way. I assumed Installer Config option 13 dealt with that. I changed it 3 degrees but it had no effect. You can try that option. I have no other answer for you on that.

I would be wary of the accuracy, there are "dead spots". I ordered two of these and both of them had a "dead zone" of about 6 degrees (from 76°F-82°F) where it would show it was 76° until it suddenly spiked to 82°.

The Temperature alarm set point is 45 degrees F You are suppose to be able to Set it from -66 t0 301 degrees F We left our on Factory 45 degrees

I have two of these and they are off by more than 10 degrees. I contacted Honeywell about it and they said that there's no way to calibrate it, so take them back and replace them. The replacements are just as bad as the originals, so I am switching to another brand.

Yes, I measured the temp. and it is not at all near that range. That's why I sent mine back!

Nothing in the directions indicates that you can calibrate this unit other than to check it against another thermometer that is known to be correct.

Yes, but the thermostat isn't very accurate with it's temperature readings.

I have not been able to calibrate the sensors. Just use another thermometer to compare.

I have not performed an exact test on this thermostat/firestat, but have it installed. Yes, the differential is 10 degrees, but I would not want to warrant that is what an individual example would show.

You can adjust the temperature ("calibrate") by up to 270F up or down, read the manual to learn how to do it. In your case, you will adjust from 362F to 250F, i.e. 112F lower than shown.

never actually measured the temperature , but the temperature is not adjustable

It is working fine so far. The thermostat is numbered 1-5. We were told by the installer that around 3 was 70 degrees. I usually have it between 2 and 3. Have been very happy with it so far.

I would say 32-150f? Basically just calibrate it at the same temperature you will be using it at. I like this unit a lot.

I bought the White-Rodgers to replace one that was installed when the house was built 14 years ago. The problem we had was that the temperature doesn't appear calibrated correctly. The company said there is a setting that can offset this problem, but it still is not right. I also bought this because I could supposedly change the temporary hold time, which was in the description of the thermostat, but there is no adjustment for that. Not sure I'd recommend this to anyone else.

The HDE is only accurate to within + or - 2 degrees. Most digital thermostats are in the same line. Older mercury are much worse. Some also depends on distance, the farther away the larger the reading sample, even with expensive guns. You can not self calibrate this one, sorry.

I'm pretty sure this unit is unable to do so as it is primarily a baseboard heating thermostat. It doesn't have a cool setting just the setting of the temp buttons

I've heard of people calibrating it with boiling water, so it may work for what you want. I'd be careful to not get the plug end of the thermocouple or the thermometer wet though.
