6. Operating Instructions
Once installed, the Longriver MX08 automatically monitors and displays the water temperature when water flows through the sensor.
6.1 Reading the Display
The large digital display shows the current water temperature in Fahrenheit (°F). The temperature sensing range is 0-188°F.
6.2 Color Indicator Lights
The display unit features a color-coded indicator light to provide a quick visual reference of the water temperature:
- Blue Light: Water temperature is too low (below 86°F).
- Green Light: Water temperature is suitable (between 86°F and 104°F).
- Red Light: Water temperature is too high (above 104°F).
