Question 1

Can ECPIN be used in a metal shielded oven?

ectherm-web · Accepted Answer

It depends on the degree of shielding of the individual oven. Assuming air can flow in and out of the oven. The RF signal of ECPIN can pass through these air duct. But the transmission distance may be reduced.

Question 2

What is good about using super-capacitors over batteries?

Accepted Answer

For one, super-capacitors can be charged and discharged almost indefinitely, but batteries have a limited life. Batteries lose their capacity gradually over their lifetime. Super-capacitors don’t.

Question 3

So a mobile device can monitor up to 8 probes. Can a probe support multiple mobile devices?

ectherm-web · Accepted Answer

Yes! ECPin can be connected to multiple mobile devices at once! You can literally make any family members/friends who have a ECTherm app to monitor the probe.

Question 4

What do you mean by no pairing needed? Is ECPin not a Bluetooth device?

ectherm-web · Accepted Answer

ECPin is a Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) device that allows your phone (after turn on Bluetooth) to scan for it and pair automatically.

Question 5

Would any flare ups damage the probe?

ectherm-web · Accepted Answer

No. Food grade stainless steel casing and ceramic top can handle it with ease.

Question 6

Is it safe to use ECPin in a 450°F / 230°C oven?

ectherm-web · Accepted Answer

Yes! As long as the metal casing (electronics inside) of ECPin is inserted into meat of your choice then it is safe to withstand up to 212°F / 100°C. The exposed top part of ECPin is made of FDA and LFGB approved ceramic material. It can withstand at least 600°F / 315°C.

Question 7

How come I had the probe fully charged the night before but the next day it won't power up? Is the battery defective?

ectherm-web · Accepted Answer

ECPin uses super-capacitor as power source. Unlike typical batteries, a ECPin’s super-capacitor standby power will be discharged in about 6 hours. Therefore it is recommended to charge ECPin before use.
