Overview
The IBS-P05R is a portable pool equipment that integrates wireless pool temperature detection and mood
lighting. It is both environmentally friendly and economical as it absorbs sunlight and converts it into electricity
through the built-in solar panel. The thermometer provides real-time pool water temperature monitoring and
transmits the data to the indoor receiver, enabling remote access to water temperature information. The mood
light, which can be adjusted in brightness and color, enhances the ambiance for night swimming, offering
practical convenience and aesthetic appeal. The mood light is designed to support the automatic switch function,
which adjusts the light according to the external light intensity. This feature can be controlled remotely through
the indoor unit, allowing you to adjust the brightness and color mode. This enhances the overall enjoyment and
convenience of the swimming pool environment.
02
Preparation Before Using
Make sure the batteries of the indoor monitor are installed correctly and working properly.
Press the button on the pool thermometer to turn it on. After powering on, shortly press the button to
change the temperature unit to ℃ or ℉; press and hold the button for 5 seconds to turn off the thermometer.
We recommend that you place the pool thermometer in a location exposed to strong sunlight and use it
after the battery reaches 3 bars ( ). If you plan to use it in the sun for a long time, please ignore this step.
NOTE: When the battery of the pool thermometer is too low to support the mood light, the pool thermometer will
automatically turn off the mood light, and the temperature detection function will not be affected.

Fault Phenomenon Possible Cause Possible Solution
The pool thermometer hasn't been
charged by solar power for a long
time, so it's out of power.
Place it in a location exposed to strong
sunlight for 5 to 7 hours. The stronger the
sunlight the better. Then, restart the pool
thermometer. The pool thermometer will
automatically switch on after recharging if it is
in operation when the power is cut.
Batteries are installed incorrectly. Reinstall the batteries.No display on the indoor monitor’s
screen.
The pool thermometer is too far
away.
Move as close as possible to the indoor
monitor.
Cannot control the mood light of
the pool thermometer.

Fault Phenomenon Possible Cause Possible Solution
The battery in the pool
thermometer is too low to turn on
the mood light or the battery has run
out of power.
The AUTO timer mode is
currently selected and the sunlight
intensity is too high, so the mood
light function is automatically
switched off.
Place it in a location exposed to strong
sunlight for 5 to 7 hours. The stronger the
sunlight the better. Then, restart the pool
thermometer.
Place the thermometer in a darker place
and the mood light function will automatically
switch on, or select another timer mode.
The temperature is higher than 70℃/
158℉.
Place the pool thermometer in a normal
temperature measurement environment.
The temperature is lower than -40℃/
40℉.
The mood light the pool
thermometer does not light up.
Temperature variation is less than
0.3°C.
When water temperature variation <0.3℃,
sync once every 15 minutes;
When water temperature variation is
between 0.3℃ and 0.5℃, sync once every 15
seconds;
When water temperature variation ≥0.5℃,
sync once every 5 seconds.
Temperature on the pool
thermometer is not synced with
the indoor monitor.
