probes location only and may cause the heater or cooler to activate and continue
running if there is no water flow through the system. We do not recommend putting the
probe in a weir as it may come out of water in the event that the return pump stops,
this will result in the probe reading the air temperature and may cause the heater to be
switched on and stay on until water flow is restored.
Connect a heater to the socket marked with the ‘
I
’ and sun symbol. If the heater
has a built in thermostat, be sure to set it higher than the temperature setting on the
controller otherwise it will fail to operate when the socket is switched on.
If being used, plug a suitable cooling device into the socket marked with the ‘
II
’ and
snowflake symbols. If the cooling device has a built in thermostat, be sure to set it
lower than the temperature setting on the controller to prevent it from being disabled.
Plug the Dual Heating and Cooling Controller in to suitable mains power outlet socket.

Programming the controller
The controller has a default factory setting of 26ºC with a 0.3ºC differential on the
heating and cooling sockets to allow the unit to be used out of the box for most
freshwater and saltwater tropical aquariums. The setting can however be customised if
required using the steps below.
