Does this unit have a specific temperature gauge or is it on a scale? if I wanted to set it to 63.2 degrees, can I do so, or will I need a thermometer

It has two digital tthermometers, as it has two cooling zones. For your white wines you can set the temperature in 1 degree units from 48-64 degees and for the reds the temperature can be set from 51- 64 degrees. I have not verified how accurate the temperatures are as I use the unit as a modified humidifier for my cigars. Since I need the temperature at 70 degrees I purchased a Johnson Controls thermostat that plugs into the cooler to control the internal temperature.

It has a celsuis that starts @ 7C which is 44.6 F just push on the arrow to set. White wine is between 7 & 10 C which = 45 to 50 F Rose is usually 10 to 18 C = 45 to 55 F and Red is 10 to 18 C=50 to 65 F .17C=62.6 F and 18C = 64.4 F

you can set specific temperatures for the lower and the upper sections. Minimum increment is 1 degree, though.

sorry, I cannot see a temperature scale on it. however, if you really only want to use enough electricity to prevent freezing, this unit is not appropriate because it will be on much more than the minimum to do what you need. Suggest you look at greenhouse thermostat, which will control a heater to come on at any temperature down to freezing, and costs about $35 on eBay. It will control up to 10 Amps, which will be a heater of about 1200 Watts, more than you will need to prevent freezing. What do you do when the power goes off, or does it not? My solution would be to use a heat pipe to bring heat up from the earth below. You can make one with a length of copper pipe.

I recommend that you do what I did. When I first tried to use mine I found it to be off by at least 25 deg. Throw it away it's not worth messing with, then I went to a local restaurant supply and bought an analog thermometer that always works for the same amount. Your experience prove to me that my decision was the right one. Problem solved. David B.

Just a spatula and instructions. You do not need a temperature gauge really just look at it but you should buy ceramic discs

Hello Heather. I don't recall but I think it is 10 degrees. I don't pay much attention to it because when I used a thermometer, it was way off anyway. Water would boil at the 190 deg setting which if I remember High School physics correctly, we'd have to be near the top of Mount Everest for that to be possible. I control the temperature by setting the temperature I want then adjusting the power setting down to maintain it where I want it. Maybe it's just the unit I bought, but the temperature setting is nearly useless.

Hi Pat, I placed water in the pot and used a meat thermometer and checked the temperatures of this unit. I only recorded the one at #3 and it was 180F. I have found this does seem to cook on the Low setting closely. I have been very happy with the unit. I hope this one temperature is a help for you.

Sophie. The web site and my owners manual say the can measure up 716 degrees F. I hope this helps. They also say the the max temp the display will show is 572 degrees F.

It has a temp setting on the unit but not digital but a dial its accurate as I did buy a thermometer as well All I did to install was taped the probe to the wall and screwed the controller to the back set the temp and plugged it in

This unit does not have a readable temp setting. This unit is not quiet by any means.

As far as I know you can set the temp to what ever you want. I have only set my unit to 50, but never tried setting any lower.

I have never tried calibrating it with a thermometer close by but it seems to work well cycling my electric heaters on the ceiling. I have two of them and they they both work fine. Would buy them again.

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.

Hi Brent, I've just opened one of them up, and the answer is no. There is no off set or gain potentiometer that would allow a calibration. I have been using temperature devices for years, and I have to have them calibrated annually. I have never had a 0.5C thermocouple be out out of spec--only an RTD one that goes to hundredths of a degree. They typically do not go bad or drift (unless damaged). Regards, Daryl

I did not calibrate it except to test against another thermometer. It was right on. No adjusting is possible to the reading.

No, you cannot set it to a specific degree and neither do you need to. It goes from 80, 120, 150, 180, 200, 220 and 240. It works perfectly like this.

There is no way of setting the temperature. You can leave the unit on as long as you like - there is no timer and no automatic shut off. The only way of knowing the temperature is to take the temperature with a thermometer while the unit is on.

It's not really specific. We have a thermometer in the room so we allow the room to get to 68 degrees and then turn the heater off so it knows to keep it about that temp, but the heater doesn't actually have a visible thermometer/thermostat on it. Hope this helps.
