LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM
The CellarCool Series cooling units come equipped with a liquid temperature measuring thermostat. This incorporates
the following advantages:
Self-Calibrating Bottle Probe
The bottle probe contains a sensor chip, which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a
consistent temperature setting and accuracy.
1. Wine should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity.
2. By measuring the liquid temperature rather than air, the unit will operate 75–80% of the time.
Setting Up The Bottle Probe:
1. Locate an empty wine bottle.
2. Fill ¾ full with room temperature tap water.
3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle as seen in Figure 1.
4. Place bottle with probe level and to the side of the unit in your wine cellar.
5. To assure a consistent temperature, place bottle probe approximately 3 feet
away from the air output and not in the flow of the air.
It is recommended that the bottle be placed in a central location of your
wine cellar. Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord. It may become
disconnected resulting in limited functionality of the unit.
Note: The thermostat can be set between 50–67°F.
Remember: The CellarCool unit operates based on the temperature of the water.
Do not be misled by thermostats reading air temperature. The air temperature
in the cellar will be cooler than the liquid temperature of the wine while it is
reaching optimum balanced temperature.
