Operation

If the warning sticker is not attached to the product, attach the sticker
for your language to the product.
Warning! Adapters must not be plugged into each other.
Devices with electronic power adapters (e.g. TVs or high-voltage LED
light bulbs) do not have ohmic loads. They can generate inrush currents
of over 100 A. Using these types of loads can cause the actuator to wear
out prematurely.
• Place the remote temperature sensor in the desired location or secure it to the
measuring location, e.g. with a cable tie.
The temperature sensor is not designed for prolonged use in liquids!
