PIN POINT Therm Problem...

[Omega]

Does anyone use a PIN POINT Thermometer? The one I have seems to be acting weird. I'm not sure if it's working correctly. Sometimes the temp fluxuates from 81.0 to 99.00 then to HHH. Very strange.
I also keep a glass floating therm in the tank as well. That reads a steady 79.5. The instructions are no help. Have any of you experienced weird actions from this device?

Omega,

The Pnipoint Therm has the opportunity to have a total of 4 probes attached to it. If you have the monitor cycling through looking for several probes, it'll show you different readins (and the tanks reading).

Turn this off (read the instructions, I don't remember how to turn it on or off). And have it ony set to one probe so it reads one temp and only one temp.

HTH

I think I installed it correctly. The probe is Behind live rock towards the bottom of the tank. should it be out in the open?

I have mine about half way down.try it in the sink then come back and try it again in the tank.
