Setup Instructions

1. Battery Installation

For the Floating Pool Sensor:

1. Unscrew the top cap of the floating sensor counter-clockwise to open the battery compartment.
2. Insert 2 x AAA batteries (not included) according to the polarity markings (+/-).
3. Select the desired channel (1, 2, or 3) using the switch inside the battery compartment. This is important if you are using multiple sensors.
4. Ensure the rubber sealing ring is properly seated to maintain IPX8 waterproof integrity.
5. Screw the top cap back on clockwise until securely tightened.

For the Indoor Thermometer Display Unit:

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the indoor unit.
2. Insert 2 x AAA batteries (not included) according to the polarity markings (+/-).
3. Close the battery compartment cover.

2. Initial Synchronization

After installing batteries in both units, place the floating sensor in the water and the indoor display unit within range (up to 60 meters). The indoor unit will automatically search for and connect to the floating sensor on the selected channel. The water temperature reading should appear on the indoor display within a few minutes.

3. Placement

• Floating Sensor: Place the sensor directly into the water of your pool, hot tub, or fish tank. Ensure it floats freely and is not obstructed. A string can be used to tether it to a specific location if desired.
• Indoor Display Unit: Position the indoor unit in a dry location, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures, within the 60-meter transmission range of the floating sensor.

Operating Instructions

1. Reading the Display

The indoor display unit shows the water temperature from the floating sensor, along with indoor temperature and humidity. Readings are refreshed approximately every 30 seconds.

2. Temperature Units

Refer to the indoor display unit's specific buttons for switching between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F) if this feature is available. Typically, a dedicated button or a combination of buttons is used for this function.

3. Transmission Range

The wireless transmission range between the floating sensor and the indoor unit is up to 60 meters (approximately 196 feet) in open areas. Obstacles such as walls, metal structures, or dense foliage can reduce this range.

Maintenance

1. Cleaning

The floating sensor and indoor unit can be cleaned with a soft, damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or solvents. The product care instructions specify "Hand Wash Only" for the floating sensor; avoid submerging the indoor unit in water.

2. Battery Replacement

Replace batteries in both units when the low battery indicator appears on the indoor display. Ensure to use fresh, high-quality AAA batteries for optimal performance and to prevent issues like rapid battery drainage.

3. Storage

During periods of non-use, especially in colder months, remove batteries from both units to prevent leakage. Store the thermometer in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight.

4. Waterproof Protection

The floating sensor features IPX8 fourfold waterproof protection. Always ensure the battery compartment cap is securely tightened to maintain this protection. Regularly inspect the sealing ring for any signs of wear or damage.

Troubleshooting

• No Reading or Signal Loss:
  • Check if batteries are correctly installed and have sufficient power in both the sensor and the indoor unit. Replace if necessary.
  • Ensure the floating sensor is within the 60-meter transmission range of the indoor unit.
  • Verify that the sensor's channel setting matches the indoor unit's selected channel (if applicable).
  • Reduce obstructions between the sensor and the indoor unit.
• Inaccurate Temperature Readings:
  • Ensure the floating sensor is fully immersed in the water and not exposed to direct sunlight for prolonged periods, which can affect readings.
  • Allow sufficient time for the sensor to stabilize in the water (readings update every 30 seconds).
  • Compare readings with another reliable thermometer if available.
• Display Not Working on Indoor Unit:
  • Check and replace batteries.
  • Remove batteries, wait a few seconds, and reinsert them to perform a soft reset.
• Rapid Battery Drainage:
  • Ensure high-quality batteries are used.
  • Extreme temperatures can affect battery life.
