RFX MEAT: High Temperature Warning (Over-Temp)

Summary: If your app screams a "Approaching Max Probe Temperature" warning, it means one of the internal sensors has reached 208°F (97.8°C). You must act immediately. This warning is a safety guard to prevent the RFX MEAT from failing or becoming damaged.

Why am I getting this warning?

The probe has a built-in safety alarm that triggers at 208°F.

• The Limit: The internal electronics (battery) are rated for a maximum of 212°F (100°C).
• The Buffer: The app warns you at 208°F to give you a "runway" to rescue the probe before permanent damage occurs.

Understanding the Temperature Limits

It is common to confuse the Ambient limit with the Internal limit.

Part of Probe	Max Temp	What is Inside?
Upper Shaft / Handle (Above the Immersion Line)	1000°F	Antenna & Ceramic. Designed to withstand flare-ups and high heat.
Lower Shaft / Tip (Below the Immersion Line)	212°F	Battery & Sensors. These components must stay inside the meat (which stays cooler) to survive.

What to Do When the Alarm Sounds

⚠️ Immediate Action Required

If you see this warning, heat is traveling down the shaft faster than the meat can insulate it. 

1. Push Deeper: Ensure the probe is inserted fully up to the black immersion line. 
2. Cool Down: If the meat is above 200°F (e.g., finishing a brisket), monitor closely.
