Operating your
HH 6
Thermostat
The heater temperatures are factory set to 19 degrees Celsius, this is fully
anti-‐clockwise on the temperature dials.
To adjust the temperature first check that the temperature dial, sensor
and heater output match i.e. all RED or all YELLOW
Use a small flat bladed screwdriver and rotate the temperature adjuster
clockwise until the slot is aligned with the required temperature on the
scale.
The HH 6 will control and maintain the temperature set on the heater dial.
A thermometer should ALWAYS be used to check the
temperature within the vivarium and the thermostat then
adjusted to give the required temperature for your pets environment.
The green LED is a power on indicator and will be lit when the thermostat
is connected to the mains supply.
A vivarium should be set up to allow a temperature gradient. The heater
should be at one end with the sensor in the centre of the vivarium. This will
allow a Hot area, Controlled area and a Cooler area.

Installing your
HH 6
Thermostat
Find a suitable location for the thermostat to be located on the outside
of the vivarium ensuring sufficient cable is available for the sensors.
The HH6 is split into 2 thermostats the left temperature control dial
corresponds to the RED LED, Sensor with the RED band and the Socket
with the RED band.
The right temperature control dial corresponds to the YELLOW LED,
Sensor with the YELLOW band and the Socket with the YELLOW band.
The sensor(s) should be installed inside the vivarium(s) at least 225mm
(9 inches) away from the heat sources. This is to ensure that the sensors
are measuring the air temperature. The sensors should be in free air and
not fixed to the wall of the vivarium as this will not give a correct reading
to the thermostat. Ensure the sensors are at least 10cm from the side
walls of the vivarium. The sensor with the RED band will be controlled by
the left hand dial, The sensor with the YELLOW band will be controlled
by the right hand dial.
Connect the mains cable from your heat source you wish to use with the
left temperature control dial to the heater socket on the thermostat
with the RED band using a suitable mains plug fitted with a 3 amp fuse.
Connect the mains cable from your heat source you wish to use with the
Right temperature control dial to the heater socket on the thermostat
with the YELLOW band using a suitable mains plug fitted with a 3 amp
fuse.
Connect the mains cable from the thermostat to your mains supply.
Please note the mains plug is fitted with a 3 amp fuse.
