Probes – Overview

Types of Probes

The FireBoard supports multiple sensor types, providing extreme flexibility. Read more about the differences in the types of probes here.

• 100K Thermistors – Probe Temperature Range: 0 to 572°F (-18 to 300°C)
  • Key advantage: fast response time (shipped standard with kits as of October 2017)
• RTD PT-100s – Probe Temperature Range: -58 to 716°F (-50 to 380°C)
  • Key advantage: wider temperature range (very cold and hot)
• 10K Thermistors – Probe Temperature Range: -58 to 248°F (-50 to 120°C)
  • Key advantage: cold storage tracking; easily allows long cable runs for commercial installations
• Type-K Thermocouple (FBX2K only) – Probe Temperature Range: -148 to 1202 ̊F (-100 to 650 ̊C)
  • Key advantage: robust and heavy duty with a strong connector, great for high temperature cooks
