LIQUID-MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM (BOTTLE PROBE)
CellarCool cooling units come with a liquid-temperature-measuring thermostat. The self-calibrating probe contains a
sensor chip, which communicates back and forth with the thermostat. This results in a consistent temperature setting
and accuracy. Wine should be kept at a very precise, controlled temperature and humidity. 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 it 75% full with room-temperature tap water.
3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle as seen in Figure 1.
4. Place bottle off to the side of the unit in your wine cellar, with the probe level.
5. To ensure a consistent temperature, place bottle probe approximately three
(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 55–70°F.
Remember: The 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 the optimum balanced temperature.
