Answer: Hello, There is no magnet with this device, there is a clip that can be hooked onto the inside of your grill or oven.
Question: Does the ambient grill temp. Probe have an alarm for minimum and maximum temp? So that an alarm will sound when the smoker cools down? Answer: Yes you can set the alarm for max and minimum.Temps. I have used this 3 times and love it more every time. Smoked a turkey on a Weber grill for 7 hours and never lifted the lid once. I purchased the TP08 in 2017, works as it should, and easy to use.
Now since it was purchased in 2017 it came with a great warranty. Life time probe replacement and a 5 yr. Replacement warranty on the device. I’ve had the meat probe replaced once without issue. This time when I emailed them that I was having issues again, they had me test the unit using a boil test.

After replying to them with result they sent me a email saying my replacement had been sent. Today it arrived and to my surprise it was a new unit. WOW great service of a very good product.Thank You. Got my TP-08s the end of last week. Could not wait to use it. First use was on a ham in the oven, then reverse sear burgers from the smoker. Using it again this weekend to smoke a porkbutt.

Needless to say I love this thermometer and look forward to what to use it for next. I also have the TP-17 & the TP-18. All are great and accurate. Look no further for a GREAT thermometer at a fantastic price. Thermopro will always be in my cooking arsenal. Thank you for making such great products at great prices.
My husband is a BBQ master and this thermometer makes grilling and smoking fun. No more running back and forth to the grill to check temperatures. It is been especially wonderful during the winter.
We have the grill where we can see it from inside and the dual thermometer with remote tells us all we need to know without unnecessarily opening and closing the grill. One thermometer shows the grill temp and the other goes into the meat while it cooks. It has a decent range, but do not expect it to make it through too many walls.
Often times we will perch the remote on the kitchen island and the alarm is plenty loud and the display is fairly large and clear. I have not been able to use this thermometer on my smoker yet, but I did test it in some ice water. It measured 32 degrees on the smoker cook-box probe and 34 degrees on the meat probe. At one point, I had the receiver about 35 feet away from the probes through several thick walls, and it did not have any problems staying connected to the probes. Once I have used this for actual cooking, I will update this review, and it may be 5 stars then. I would say for the price, I am very impressed with this digital thermometer system. This was given as a gift to my brother in law that enjoys smoking/BBQ.
He speaks highly of it and loves it. As a result, I bought a different model from ThermoPro for myself, but wish that I had gotten this one instead. It works well, has all the features I want at a better price than the one I chose for myself.Overall, the TP-08 has met my expectations.
My only complaint is the cheap metal holder for using a probe as an environment thermometer. The holder requires having to be bent around to find a location on the grill or rack to remain stationary AND hold onto the probe. Hopefully that makes sense. I find that I am constantly fighting with making this feature work well.That said, the TP-08 works well and I enjoy using it regularly to ensure proper cooking.ThermoPro appears to be an outstanding company that stands behind their products. They reached out to me to ensure that I understood how to use the product and to ensure that I was satisfied while offering to immediately work to correct any problems. Shipping was very prompt as well. After my post of the first review I got an email from the vendor right away, either trouble shooting problems.
I told them I would not email them if I have not tried the trouble shooting, I do not want the run around. Right away the sent an email to confirm the resolution to my problem with the product. And it is now resolved. I can honestly tell you that they take their product very serious. They believe in their merch will buy again just for customer satisfactionI was really excited about this product. Received it work okay. Bought this for my husband as I was sure our BBQ Thermometer was not accurate.
We verified the temp with this and another borrowed probe and the temp on the thermopro was bang on what the second probe tested. It does have a small learning curve and my husband went online to see if there were any videos (there are) and we were up in running in no time. No more hovering over the BBQ to watch the temp.A few days after our package arrived we received an email from ThermoPro and I figured it was an email fishing for a review. It was en email with additional instructions, contact information if we had any issues, and additional videos explaining how it works. I was amazed.
I have been very happy with this thermometer. It is accurate and the wireless range seems good. It reaches all over my house from the smoker in the backyard. I use it in the Bradley smoker, in the BBQ, and occasionally in the oven.
For the smoker and BBQ, It is great to have the probe monitoring the cooking temperature to alert me if I run out of gas or there is some problem. It has a high temperature alarm so I am alerted in the case of flareups on the grill, or if grease in my smoker catches fire (which could be very, very bad).I do long smokes so It is good to have this unit monitoring things overnight. I can keep it by my bedside and check that everything is OK without getting out of bed.I have owned other thermometers, including 2 other remote ones, and none have worked very well. Most were wildly inaccurate and all died way too soon. This unit has worked very well for 2 years now. I just received this product a couple of weeks ago and tried it out for the first time this weekend. I have had more expensive Remotes where the probes stopped functioning after about a year or two and were expensive to replace.So this weekend I did ribs on the bbq.
I used the bbq probe along with my trusty Maverick. Over the 5 hours of cooking, both probes were within 1 deg of each other. So I know that the ThermoPro was calibrated properly.Summary, so far so good and the price is exceptional. Easily worth the money if this system maintains for the next couple of years. I will be promoting this unit to my friends who bbq. 4 3/4 stars nothings perfect.
Arrived quickly and undamaged proved matched up with an old known thermometer. I Like the swivel clip on the transmitter but the belt clip is hard to reach to pull out from the casing. It was easy to read and learn to use did not use the instructions.
Like the rubber protection and that being orange is easy for me to see. Looks simple and practically designed for long use. The company seems that they are the do like your business.
Surely would but from again and refer them to others.Now, the negative side Looking through the listings I thought that the ca just meant it would have Celsius too but then i found out it meant not having the food temperatures built in. My fault should read better. The shipping time was outstanding when ordered, I did have a problem with the food temperature probe being off by what I believe to be about 10 to 12 degrees and when I contacted the company they had new probes in the mail to me within a day.The only improvement that I would like to suggest is on the grill clip for the heat temp probe. The current one does not position easily or stay in place that well.One other item is there is no low battery signal and I have no idea what kind of temperature reading I will get when they start to go low. Hopefully that will not happen in the middle of a long smoke.Overall, a great product for indirect grilling and smoking.
WHAT THE MANUFACTURER SAYS.The Nexus 8 was designed with the installer’s requirements paramount. It offers eight fully programmable zones, each with an individual tamper. A separate auxiliary supply per zone makes the Nexus 8 faster, neater and easier to wire. Up to four remote keypads can be used on each installation and the alternative twin seven-segment display provides more concise information without the confusion often associated with LEDs.There is a 64-event memory log stored in a non-volatile memory, and there can be up to eight four-digit access codes. There is a full set option plus two part set options and the detailed instruction manual makes programming simple and quick. We have incorporated six pre-set program options into the software to make the system fully operational with the minimum of effort.A useful feature is the two panic attack buttons located on the top of the keypad.
By pressing the two buttons together, the panic attack can be activated regardless of the status of the system. If the feature is not required it can simply be programmed out.The panel has a programmable silent set for the two part-set options. This is another useful feature, particularly if young children are asleep and the normal setting tone would disturb them. Should there be a fault on one of the zones during the setting of the panel then there will be an audible indication to evidence this, but unlike other panels which would remain unset the Nexus 8 will, after giving a warning, set the remaining zones and provide partial protection. This is a remarkably easy panel to work on with a detachable gear tray to ease connections to the PCB, and ample space in the unit to house a 7.0Ah battery.
Step-by-step programming makes the engineer’s job a lot quicker and the overall specification of the panel is that normally associated with a more expensive unit. Every effort has been made to design a durable, stylish panel.WHAT OUR EXPERTS SAY.Installers looking for a “bells only” system should seriously consider the Lynteck Nexus 8 alarm panel. It is soundly constructed and has eight fully programmable zones along with many refined pre-set options which should cover most requirements for domestic and small commercial installations, all at a very competitive price. The Nexus 8, as supplied for testing, consists of a blank end station and one remote keypad.
It will support a maximum of four keypads. The remote keypads use two seven-bar indicators to show system state, programming inputs and system trouble. With the aid of the Display Guide, these are surprisingly easy to interpret. The keypads also carry two prominent, unmarked PA buttons which can be programmed in or out individually for each keypad. The system has three setting modes: Full, Part 1 and Part 2. Each mode can be programmed for individual entry and exit times (six settings).
There are also individual settings for the entry/exit sounder volume in each mode. Part-set alarm outputs can be restricted to the internal sounder if required.There are 25 programming options for each of the eight zones; the intruder zones are covered by 22 of these, which give combinations of zone types in the three setting modes; the other three options cover PA, Fire and 24 hour zones. It sounds a bit complicated, but the options are clearly listed in tabular form in the Instructions. We urge the manufacturer to programme in the extra option of separate entry/exit points for Part 1 and Part 2 setting, thereby enabling the premises to be alarmed in two halves.The Nexus 8 system has a master code, six normal user codes and an engineer code, each four digits long. The normal users have access to the normal user menu which includes code changing, so that they can change their own codes, but the master user has over-riding control with the ability to enable or disable each code.
Other programmable options include a strobe flash for seven seconds when the system is set; a service timer; and a load test which activates the bell, strobe and internal speaker(s) simultaneously to enable the engineer to measure full load current and voltage to comply with NACOSS requirements.The Nexus 8 provides a terminal for the set/unset supply to latching detectors. Monitoring facilities for the mains supply, battery voltage, bell and auxiliary fuses are also supplied.The end station and remote keypad enclosures are moulded in white high gloss polycarbonate 3mm thick. The result is very stylish, with rounded edges and corners, and robust even without the PCBs and end station gear tray fitted. The front covers are hung in place by two plastic hooks at the top and secured by a single screw at the bottom – an engineering thread into a brass nut in the RKP but a self-tapper in the end station where a nut and bolt would be beneficial in the long term, considering its regular usage. The remote keypad cover has a hinged flap to hide the keys, giving a very neat, tidy, unobtrusive appearance.The end station has a power PCB, 114 x 50mm and a separate control PCB, 156mm x 83mm, both mounted on a rigid plastic gear tray which provides a solid support for the PCBs.
It is easily removed (two hooks and a single screw), leaving a blank base for installation. The control PCB has connecting terminals along the top and bottom edges.
Each zone has individual power, alarm and tamper terminals which should lead to a very tidy wired result. The remote keypad PCB, 118 x 80mm, is well supported in the base and carries the twin seven-bar indicator, bleeper, PA switches, keypad and tamper switch (lid operated). The switches are of the metal diaphragm type and the keypad switches give a reassuring tactile response when operated by the keys held on a plastic frame secured to the outer cover.The control PCB uses surface mount technology (SMT) components; all the PCBs are neat and constructed to a high standard. The component parts and covers fit neatly. The Nexus 8 alarm panel base is moulded such that it stands 5mm clear of the mounting surface and has plenty of rear cable entries so that surface run or concealed cables should cause no problems.
Gear tray removal leaves the base completely empty; we had to use a small pair of pliers to release the tough keypad PCB plastic latches. Four-cored cable is required to connect the remote keypads to the alarm panel – maximum permissible lengths are not specified. Installation is really straightforward and to make life even easier, the manufacturer has numbered each cable entry hole in the alarm panel base. Lynteck helps to speed up installation by providing six pre-set options (menus) for the eight zone types and part-set conditions (where appropriate). These should save time, since they can be easily amended to suit the system requirements. Zone attributes are then added as required.
One of the pre-set options resets ALL the programming options to their default values.We ran into a spot of bother trying to follow the manufacturer’s instructions for programming out unused zones. The technical helpline quickly sorted our problem and the manufacturer agreed that one line in the instructions is not quite accurate and could mislead. Once it was appreciated that while in an Engineer Programming Menu, pressing the “NO” button returns the system to the Engineers Menu indicated by the “ — “ prompt on the display, the programming was very straightforward. The options are easy to follow, being clearly set down with their one or two digit LED code, often in tabular form. The Nexus 8 was connected on the bench and powered up. The system proved to be very easy to operate; any engineer programme changes needed to fine-tune the internal sounder levels, for example, can be quickly carried out.
We checked out system setting with a faulty zone to prove the partial protection claimed in “What The Manufacturer Says”. During discussions the manufacturer also informed us that the User can omit an entry/exit zone! This can be useful for setting the system, when the front door has been changed and there is a delay before the installer can fit new contacts. The system then recognises the entry route zone as an entry/exit zone. But we could find no reference to the above two properties in either the User Guide or the Engineer Guide, which the manufacturer supplies. The former contains basic user instructions with menu flowcharts for the Master User and Normal Users printed on a folded A4 sized card. The instructions are brief but adequate, making the guide more useful for reference purposes.
It also includes an essential Event Log Display Guide for interpreting the two seven-bar indicator outputs and system details consisting of the installation company and zone information. The light grey ink used to print the lines and to highlight the outcomes on the flowcharts is much too faint and requires firm concentration to interpret the information. The Engineer Guide provides a brief introduction to system planning, installation instructions, initial power-up and programming, engineer options, glossary of terms, trouble-shooting and technical specification. The Installation Instructions contain clear, informative diagrams, supported by brief text where necessary. We found some of the terminology a bit unusual, the Engineer Menu, for example, which is generally termed Engineer Mode, allows access to the Engineer Programming Menu, Engineer Menu Options and System Test. Lynteck provided an addendum sheet which included instructions for “exiting the engineer’s menu” and “exiting the engineer’s programming menu”. These did not clear up our initial confusion and we have suggested that they use the more conventional term “engineer mode” instead of “engineer menu”.
Reader Service No 187 SI. Overall assessmentOur test team was very impressed with this Lynteck panel, which provides flexibility at a very reasonable price. The Nexus 8 consists of a blank end station, capable of supporting a maximum of four remote keypads. These are soundly constructed in very neat and stylish polycarbonate enclosures. It has eight fully programmable zones and a wide range of options not generally found in systems designed for the domestic and small commercial market sectors. Installation and programming are simple after initial familiarisation.
