Unsatisfactory

Erratic & Inaccurate by JOHN E MARCH

Experience Level: Intermediate

Posted on 5/28/2008 from HOFFMAN ESTATES, IL UNITED STA

Comments: I compared this monitor's readings to a certified, calibrated laboratory-quality mercury thermometer, it was off by varying deviations. Mind you, if the Pinpoint unit was consistently, say, 1.6 degrees too high or low one could calculate true temperature by using such a standard correction; but the Pinpoint product was just as erratic as it was inaccurate. One day +1.2 the next day -1.5--the only way to know was to compare to the mercury thermometer. Worse, this thing was subject to repeated interference from other wireless devices despite its own sender being mounted within 2 feet of the monitor. I didn't buy it to learn the outside temperature. I would not recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I was using an infrared laser and a thermocoupler to cross monitor my water temperature to within a tenth of a degree. The pin point wireless, matches to within .2 degrees of my set point. The stand on the back of the display does not stand it up high enough, it's more in a laid down position. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Easy Setup by beachedbum

Comments: The key features that I like about this product are accuracy, ease of set up, centralized monitoring of temperatures and portability of the monitor. It allows me to monitor the temperatures of my main tank, my quarantine tank, the replenishment tank for my main tank and my reserve tank that contains the new salt water that I am aging for the water exchanges. They are all in different locations of my house. I wish that I had know about them before. My only complaint is that when I replace the batteries, I will need to manually registered each sensor which is a hassle. It means having to remove the battery plate of each sensor (4 small screws), remove and reinsert the batteries and go through the registration process of each unit and then replace the covers and the screws. This will also mean that you will need to keep note as to the order that you did the replacement in order to know which Station # relates to which remote sensor. American Marine should make a minor design change in the electronics of the monitor by just adding a very small capacitor and add some additional circuitry to hold a charge long enough to keep the data in the memory while the batteries are replaced. If someone makes a product like that I would be willing to buy it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: After cycling through all of the cheap thermometers, I finally decided to splurge for the Pinpoint Wireless Thermometer. I couldn't be happier! Its great to know the actual temp of then tank, and I can set up the thermometer right next to my desk to keep an eye on it. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Accurate by MALCOLM YOUNG

Comments: I can read the exact temperature of four tanks in two rooms while sitting at my desk. Plus it is flat out more accurate than any other thermometer I've used - e.g. my sensors read exactly the same if put in the same tank, and exactly the same as my most reliable digital thermometer. Other thermometers might be 2 or three degrees off. A very minor flaw is that the numbers assigned to the remote sensors (1 through 4) must be reassigned if you turn the thermometer off. However, the batteries last more than a year, so it's not a big issue. If you keep more than one tank going, this is a terrific tool. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.

Comments: I haven't had any problems with it so far. The RF signal works reliably. I trust it more than those old fashioned floating thermometers and the liquid crystal thermometers. Yes, I would recommend this product to my friends.
