Overview

Our remote probes are wet/dry and allow our wine cooling units to be located remotely from the wine cellar, allowing the cooling unit to cycle on/off based on changes of the air or liquid temperature inside the wine cellar.

Details

CellarPro Bottle Probe (P/N 1434). Our bottle probe is strongly recommended when

  • the cooling unit is in a remote location and the cold airflows are ducted
  • the cooling unit is not located near the top of the wine cellar
  • the cooling unit is one of our Houdini cooling units, and the bottle probe must be used in a bottle filled with liquid (mostly water with a bit of alcohol)
  • the wine cellar door is frequently opened and closed

Our bottle probe can be used to measure liquid or air temperatures. If measuring air temperature, the probe should not be placed in an empty bottle. It has a waterproof sheathing, and includes a rubber bottle stopper to keep liquid inside the bottle so that the bottle can be placed on its side.

If used to measure liquid temperature, the bottle probe can be inserted into a wine bottle filled with water and alcohol (to avoid bacteria growth.) Please note: the cooling unit's HY differential should be set to "1" when the probe is inserted in liquid, and should be set to "4" when measuring air temperature.

The bottle probe includes a 10-foot cord and the end point should be in a location with good airflow inside the cellar. The other side of the probe is fitted with a jack that plugs directly into the face of the wine cooling unit.

Operating Instructions:.

  • When measuring liquid temperatures, the (HY) differential should be set at 1 degree (so that the wine liquid doesn't fluctuate more than 1 degree.)
  • When measuring air temperatures, the probe should be exposed, not in a bottle, and the (HY) differential should be set at 4 degrees (the cooling unit will burn out prematurely if the unit cycles on'off every time the air temperature changes by 1 degree.)
  • The bottle probe must be located in a location with good air movement in order to correctly register the temperature changes inside the cellar.
  • When measuring air temperature with ducted systems, the ideal location for the remote probe is in the return air register; when measuring air temperature with through-the-wall systems, the ideal location for the remote probe is near the return air grill; when measuring liquid temperatures in bottles, the ideal location of the bottle is near the top of the racks with good airflow.
  • In all cases, it is recommended to check the actual cellar temperature against the display temperature when the bottle probe is first setup and subsequently whenever the location moves.
  • Refer to our Owners Manual for instructions how to change the HY differential

Bottle probes are compatible with all CellarPro wine cooling units smaller than our AH18 sizes.

Features

  • Digital temperature control based on air or liquid temperature
  • Jack plugs directly into the face of the wine cooling unit
  • When used in a wine bottle, the rubber bottle stopper prevents spills and leaks
  • 10-ft cord allows maximum flexibility
  • Recommended when the wine cooling unit will be placed remotely or away from the top of the wine cellar
  • Also can be used in odd-shaped wine cellars

Stabilizes the cooler temperature better than using ambient air.

All was good including a local referral for install. Also thorough live call to help reset unit. Only complaint was this my second unit, I was never told I needed a bottle probe.

An important addition to your cooling unit!

A significant addition to your cooling unit - definitely stabilizes and smooths out cooling behavior (probe in liquid) and should help longevity. Super easy install and setup. Highly recommended!
