Dixell Controller

[4Qman]

I require a Controller that gives accurate readings at around -50 to -60oC, I see this on Ebay and was wondering how good of a controller it is and if it works ok in this range. Just require to read a temperature. No extra features required :D

Thanks

They are good controllers but I think the probes only go down as far as -40.
You would need to get another set of probes for it.
