3. Chiudere il coperchio delle batterie.
4. Mettere il sensore entro 98 piedi (30 m) dall’unità
principale usando il supporto da tavolo oppure il
montaggio a parete.
TIP La posizione ideale per il sensore sarebbe
qualsiasi posizione all’esterno della casa ad un’altezza
non superiore a 5 piedi (1.5 m) ed al riparo dalla luce
solare diretta o dall’umidità per una lettura accurata.
1.5 m (5 ft)
NOTA Usare batterie alcaline per un funzionamento più
lungo e batterie al litio d’uso comune per temperature al disotto
del punto di congelamento.

Se il sensore del canale 1 scende da 37°F a 28°F (da
3°C a -2°C), l’indicatore LED lampeggerà; l’indicatore
smetterà di lampeggiare una volta che la temperatura
esce da quell’intervallo.
• Premere contemporaneamente e per
disarmare l’avviso di allarme ghiaccio.
NOTA Poiché l’allarme ghiaccio si applica solo al
canale 1, per impedire il lampeggiamento del LED,
selezionare il canale 2 o 5 per un sensore esterno.
