1. General information and function This wireless battery-operated pool thermometer is a high quality instrument which will measure the water temperature in swimming pools, garden ponds, spas, etc. It is water-proof and will float on the water‘s surface. The thermometer includes a temperature display. Water temperature can be displayed in degrees Fahrenheit (˚F) or Centigrade (˚C). The thermometer includes a transmitter which will broadcast the temperature data to a wireless receiver.
3. Safety Instructions We shall not assume any liability for damage to items or persons caused by improper handling or non-observance of the safety instructions! In such cases, any guarantee claims shall become null and void. - Do not use this product in hospitals or medical institutions. Although the outdoor sensor only emits relatively weak radio signals, these may cause interference to life-support systems. The same can also apply in other areas. - Do not use the unit, if there is damage to the housing.
5. Preparing for operation 5.1. Open the housing - Rotate the unit and unscrew the 6 screws (see below) - Lift up the upper part carefully. 5.2. Inserting the batteries - The unit is operated with 3 x 1,5 V AA batteries. Use alkaline batteries for longer life and better protection against leaking. - Insert the three batteries into the battery holder with right polarity as shown in the battery holder. - If you want to make settings (addresses or measuring unit), go to the next chapter.
When you open the unit, you will see the DIP switch located on the circuit board (see diagram below). The DIP switches numbered 1-3 are used for addressing. The DIP switch numbered 4 is used for choosing measuring units (ºF or ºC). The default values set at the factory are address 8 and degrees Fahrenheit (ºF). If you plan on using this unit in conjunction with a compatible receiver, choose an unused address in your set. Check the addressing diagram below.
6. Operation Gently set the tightly closed unit on the water‘s surface. Wait until the temperature display shows a stable value. The temperature of the inner housing will take some time to match the water temperature. Caution! Do not throw the unit into the water. Do not use the unit as a toy or sporting equipment. Mind your pets. Do not allow them to use the unit as a toy. Do not submerge the unit. It is designed to float and work on the water‘s surface.
8. Maintenance 8.1. Changing the batteries - If the flat battery symbol appears in the display (Lo Bat) all batteries must be changed for ones of the same type Lo-Bat as described in Section 5.2 (p. 6). Always change all 3 batteries and use only high-quality alkaline cells. 8.2. Cleaning - Clean the unit using only a soft cloth. Do not use cleaners containing solvents. Make sure that no moisture enters the interior of the unit. - Do not exert any pressure on the display. 9. Disposal 9.1.
