5. Gebruiksaanwijzing
5.1 Temperatuureenheden wijzigen (°C/°F)
On the floating pool thermometer, short press the action button to switch between Celsius (°C) and Fahrenheit (°F).
On the indoor monitor, press the '°C/°F' button to toggle between Celsius and Fahrenheit.
5.2 Setting Water Temperature Comfort Level
The indoor monitor displays a water temperature comfort level indicator (Cold, Comfort, Hot). You can customize the thresholds for these levels:
- Long press the '°C/°F' button on the indoor monitor to enter setting mode.
- The 'COLD' icon will flash. Use the arrow buttons (MAX/MIN or CH/R) to adjust the desired 'COLD' temperature threshold. Press '°C/°F' to confirm.
- The 'HOT' icon will flash. Use the arrow buttons to adjust the desired 'HOT' temperature threshold. Press '°C/°F' to confirm and exit setting mode.
The comfort level will now be indicated based on your set thresholds: below 'COLD' is Cold, above 'HOT' is Hot, and between 'COLD' and 'HOT' is Comfort.
5.3 Viewing MAX/MIN Records
On the indoor monitor, short press the 'MAX/MIN' button to cycle through the maximum and minimum recorded temperatures and humidity values.
To clear the MAX/MIN records, long press the 'MAX/MIN' button.
5.4 Changing Channels (for multiple thermometers)
The indoor monitor can connect to up to 3 pool thermometers. To switch between connected thermometers:
- Short press the 'CH/R' button to cycle through channels 1, 2, and 3.
- If you switch to channel 0, the monitor will automatically display readings from each linked thermometer for 2 seconds in turn.
To reset the channels, press and hold the 'MAX/MIN' and 'CH/R' buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.
