- કોઈપણ જાળવણી અથવા ઇન્સ્ટોલેશન કરતા પહેલા હંમેશા પાવર ડિસ્કનેક્ટ કરો.
- પાવર સપ્લાય વોલ્યુમની ખાતરી કરોtage matches the chiller's requirements (120V).
- જો પાવર કોર્ડ અથવા પ્લગ ક્ષતિગ્રસ્ત હોય તો ચિલર ચલાવશો નહીં.
- Keep the chiller's fan area clear of obstructions to ensure proper airflow and prevent overheating.
- This device is intended for indoor use with aquariums only.
- A drip loop should be created for all power cords to prevent water from traveling along the cord and reaching electrical outlets.

5. સેટઅપ સૂચનાઓ
The IceProbe chiller is designed for easy integration into various aquarium setups, including siphon overflows, prefilters, sumps, or directly into plastic aquariums. Installation requires drilling a 1 1/4" hole.
- Prepare the Installation Location: Identify a suitable location for the chiller. This could be a bulkhead in a sump, an overflow box, or a drilled hole in a plastic aquarium wall. Ensure there is at least 3-1/8" minimum interior clearance for the cooling probe and 1" air circulation space around the exterior fan unit.
- છિદ્ર ખોદવો: Carefully drill a 1 1/4" diameter hole at the chosen installation point. Ensure the hole is clean and free of debris.
- તપાસ દાખલ કરો: Insert the cooling probe through the drilled hole from the inside of the aquarium/sump.
- યુનિટ સુરક્ષિત કરો: Place the silicon washer over the probe on the exterior side of the aquarium/sump, followed by the watertight securing nut. Tighten the nut firmly by hand to create a secure, watertight seal. Do not overtighten.
- Position the Chiller: Ensure the exterior fan unit is positioned to allow for adequate airflow. The fan should not be obstructed.
- Connect to Temperature Controller: The IceProbe chiller does not have an integrated on/off switch or temperature controller. It provides continuous chilling when powered. To regulate the aquarium temperature, you જ જોઈએ connect the chiller to a separate, external temperature controller (not included). This controller will turn the chiller on and off based on your set temperature parameters.
- પાવર કનેક્શન: Once the chiller is securely installed and connected to a temperature controller, plug the temperature controller into a power outlet. Ensure a drip loop is formed with the power cord.
6. ઓપરેટિંગ સૂચનાઓ
The IceProbe chiller operates continuously when powered. Its cooling function is managed by an external temperature controller. Follow these guidelines for optimal performance:
- તાપમાન નિયંત્રણ: Set your desired temperature range on your external temperature controller. The controller will activate the chiller when the water temperature exceeds the upper limit and deactivate it when the temperature falls below the lower limit.
- ઠંડક ક્ષમતા: The cooling capacity of a single IceProbe unit varies with water volume and ambient air temperature. Refer to the "Typical Temperature Pulldown" chart below for estimated performance.
- બહુવિધ એકમો: For larger aquariums or greater temperature reduction, multiple IceProbe units can be used.
- એરફ્લો: Ensure the fan on the exterior unit has unrestricted airflow. Blocked airflow will reduce cooling efficiency and may lead to overheating.
Typical Temperature Pulldown (°F)
| ચિલર્સ | પાણી ગેલન | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| 10 | 20 | 40 | |
| 1 | 6-8 | 3-4 | 1-2 |
| 2 | 10-12 | 6-8 | 3-4 |
Note: These values are approximate and can vary based on ambient room temperature, aquarium insulation, water circulation, and other environmental factors.
7. જાળવણી
Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and efficient operation of your IceProbe chiller.
- પંખો સાફ કરો: Periodically inspect the fan on the exterior unit for dust and debris accumulation. Gently clean with a soft brush or compressed air to ensure optimal airflow.
- Inspect the Probe: Check the cooling probe inside the aquarium for any algae or mineral buildup. Clean gently with a soft cloth or sponge if necessary.
- કનેક્શન્સ તપાસો: Ensure all electrical connections are secure and the watertight securing nut remains tight.
- પાણીની ગુણવત્તા: Maintaining good aquarium water quality will help prevent excessive buildup on the cooling probe.
8. મુશ્કેલીનિવારણ
If you encounter issues with your IceProbe chiller, consider the following common troubleshooting steps:
- Chiller Not Cooling:
- Verify the chiller is receiving power from the temperature controller.
- Check the temperature controller settings to ensure it is set to activate the chiller.
- Ensure the fan on the exterior unit is spinning and not obstructed.
- Confirm the cooling probe is submerged in water.
- Check for excessive dust or debris on the fan or cooling probe.
- અપૂરતી ઠંડક:
- Ensure adequate air circulation around the exterior fan unit.
- Verify the aquarium size is within the recommended cooling capacity (refer to the "Typical Temperature Pulldown" chart). For larger tanks or greater temperature drops, consider adding a second IceProbe unit.
- Check ambient room temperature; higher room temperatures will reduce cooling efficiency.
- Ensure the cooling probe is clean and free of buildup.
- અસામાન્ય અવાજ:
- Inspect the fan for any obstructions or loose components.
- Ensure the unit is securely mounted and not vibrating against other surfaces.
