2.3 Sensor Placement 

1.

 

Place  the  sensor  in  the  pool  or  spa  within  100  feet  of  the  display  console  (Figure  11, 
reference A). Avoid transmitting through solid earth or ground (Figure 11, reference B). 
Use a tether (string) to fix the sensor in the pool or spa. 

2.

 

Place the console at least three feet away from computers, TVs and wireless phones. 

3.

 

Avoid transmitting through solid metal barriers.

NOTE:

  The  F007PF  is  designed  to  float.  If  the  F007PF  is  used  under  a  cover  and  the  sensor  is 

constantly  submerged,  the  additional  pressure  will  lead  to  premature  gasket  failure.  Moisture  will 
enter the sensor compartment and cause sensor failure.

Maintenance 

During  each  battery  change  (1-2  years),  we  recommend  applying  waterproof  silicon  grease  to  the
