LIQUID MEASURING THERMOSTAT SYSTEM
Room-temperature
Water
Fill an empty bottle with room-temperature
water; then insert the probe.
All WhisperKOOL units come equipped with our Pre-
cision Digital Technology (PDT/PDT JR) liquid tem-
perature measuring thermostat system. This system
incorporates the following advantages:
1. Self-Calibrating Probe: The probe contains a
sensor chip, which actually communicates back
and forth to the thermostat. This results in a con-
sistent temperature setting and accuracy. Do not
remove the tip from the probe!
2. Built in Defrost Cycle: The unit is designed to shut
off for five minutes every ninety minutes in order
to prevent frost build up. This allows the cooling
unit to continue to cool effectively in demanding
environments. A count down timer is observed
by depressing the center button on the thermo-
stat. (PDT upgrade version only)
3. Heavy-duty Circuitry: The circuitry within this
new unit has been upgraded to resist power
surges, which play havoc on electrical compo-
nents. This improvement will ensure years of
trouble-free use. However, for high reliability, we
still recommend that the customer install a surge
protector for the unit itself.
4. Fahrenheit and Celsius Readout (PDT upgrade
version only): The thermostat has the ability to
produce the readout in both Fahrenheit and Cel-
sius for overseas customers. The readout can be
changed by depressing both the center and right
buttons at the same time.
Measuring liquid temperature has a few unique
advantages:
1. Wine temperature is kept in a very precise con-
trolled environment. This assures a consistent
temperature.
2. By measuring the liquid temperature rather
than air, the unit will operate 75- 80% of the
time. See page 2.
To Use the thermostat:
1. Locate an empty wine bottle.
2. Fill 3/4 full with room temperature tap water.
3. Place bottle probe securely into bottle.
4. Place bottle with probe in a central location of
your wine cellar.
Avoid pulling too much on the probe cord. It may
become disconnected resulting in non operation
of the unit.
Note: Thermostat can be set between 50°F and
76°F.
Remember: The WhisperKOOL System is based on
the temperature of the wine. Do not be misled by
thermostats reading air temperature. The air tem-
perature in the cellar will be cooler than the liquid
temperature of the wine while it is coming to opti-
mum balanced temperature.
