Rkl temp probe question

Hmmm i'm not sure on that one on my RKL or RKE you can just scroll through the options on the home screen with the arrows. Do you have anything using the temp probe as an alarm or controller if so is it cycling as it should?

How do you know it's working?
Just use the arrows like smokie said to scroll through until iTemp pops up.
You view the PH the same way.

If its saying temp error it is because you have to calibrate the temp probe just like you do the ph probe. Just use the thermometer you were using before and set the calibration temp to the same thing...

You should never need to calibrate the temp probe. The "temp error" message simply means that no temp probe is connected. That will come up if you have an SL1 or SL2 with no probe connected to it. "iTemp error" will appear when there is no probe plugged into the bus connector.
