Smoke X2/X4 TRIM Function Guide

New from the factory, Smoke X2/X4 will read within ±1.8°F even after changing probes, so you should never really need to use the CAL
feature. However, you can fine-tune the calibration for accuracy better than ±1°F with a specific probe.
The CAL function allows adjustment of the reading at a single temperature. The readings will then be "offset" by the adjusted amount across
the whole range of the thermometer. For best accuracy across a wider range, we recommend making the adjustment in an ice bath (32.0°F).
In order to make an accurate adjustment, you need a very stable and accurate reference temperature. The only precise way to do this outside
of a calibration lab is to use a properly prepared ice bath. Go to www.thermoworks.com/thermometer/check-thermometers for instructions on
getting this just right.

Step 1
Turn Smoke X2/X4 on and immerse probe 1 into the ice bath and gently stir. When
the temperature is stable and no longer changing, note the final reading. It should be
close to 32°F. However, it may be low or high by several tenths of a degree or even
one or two whole degrees. If, for example, the reading is 31.4°F, then you are reading
low by 0.6°F. Repeat the test with Probe 2. Note the reading.
Step 2
Press the CH button until the probe you would like to adjust is flashing, then press
the CAL button.
Smoke X2/X4 display will change to "CAL" and will display 0.0°F.

  • Page 2 The only precise way to test a thermometer’s accuracy is by using very expensive calibration lab equipment with a thermometer that is traceable to National Standards -OR- to use the ice bath test discussed above. If your Smoke X2/X4 reads accurately at 32°F, then you can be confident that it will read within tolerance at any temperature.
