POWER SUPPLY:
First, make sure that the On/Off switch is in the “Off” position. Do not turn your
HABBA MIST®
on until you have completed the
following steps and filled your
HABBA MIST®
with water. Your
HABBA MIST®
will run on four “C” batteries (not included) or
when plugged into a surge protected socket with the included 6 volt AC adapter. When the unit is connected to a power source,
and the switch is in the “On” position, the red LED light on the front will illuminate. The green LED only illuminates when the
unit is spraying.
BATTERY OPERATION:
The
HABBA MIST®
is portable and can be used in areas where electrical outlets are not available. To
access the battery compartment, remove the access door on the back of the main unit. Batteries can be used as the main
power supply for the
HABBA MIST®
or they can be used in conjunction with the AC power supply as a “safety back-up” in the
event of a power outage. Please note: If the Habba Mist is plugged into a timer or a humidistat (e.g. Zoo Med’s HYGROTHERM™
Humidity and Temperature Controller), the batteries must be removed or they will cause the HABBA MIST® to run when the
timer or humidistat has turned the
HABBA MIST®
off. Please remove the batteries from the HABBA MIST® when the unit is not
in use for extended periods of time.
AC POWER:
Included with your
HABBA MIST®
is a 6 volt AC adapter. To operate your
HABBA MIST®
using this adapter, plug
the terminal on the AC adapter into the port on
the front of the
HABBA MIST®
unit labeled
“D.C. 6.0V.” Then plug the adapter into a surge
protected socket. As noted above, batteries
may be used in conjunction with the AC
adapter as a safety back-up in the event of a
power outage.
DRIP LOOP:
When plugging the
HABBA MIST®
into a socket, be sure to include a drip loop to
prevent water from running down the cord into
the outlet. To create a drip loop, the lowest
point of the cord must be below the socket as
shown in the following image.
PROGRAMMING THE HABBA MIST
®
:
SPRAY INTERVAL (HOURS):
The upper knob on
the front of the
HABBA MIST®
allows you to
adjust the time interval between mistings (i.e.,
how often you want the
HABBA MIST®
to turn
on). The HABBA MIST® can be programmed to
turn on every 1, 3, 6, or 12 hours. For example,
if the knob is set at 3, the
HABBA MIST®
will
spray once every three hours.
SPRAY DURATION (SECONDS):
The lower know
of the front of the
HABBA MIST®
adjusts the
amount of time the unit will spray water during
the misting cycle. Set it to 15, 30, 45, or 60
seconds of spraying time.
MANUAL SPRAYING:
The
HABBA MIST®
will spray water on demand if you turn the unit off, wait 5 seconds, and turn it back on.
USING WITH A TIMER:
When the
HABBA MIST®
turns on, the pump makes noise as it sprays. To prevent the unit from turning
on at night, the
HABBA MIST®
may be plugged into a timer that is set to allow the
HABBA MIST®
to run during the daytime
only. When using a timer, be sure that there are no batteries in the
HABBA MIST®
or the unit will
continue to run even when the timer has switched the
HABBA MIST®
off.
Using with a Humidistat (e.g.,
Zoo Med’s HYGROTHERM™ Humidity and Temperature Controller
):
For precise humidity control in your terrarium, the
HABBA MIST®
can be used in conjunction with
Zoo Med’s HYGROTHERM™
Humidity and Temperature Controller. The
HYGROTHERM™
will turn
the
HABBA MIST®
on or off as needed in order to maintain the desired humidity setting. For more
information on the
HYGROTHERM™
Humidity and Temperature Controller, visit the Zoo Med
website at www.zoomed.com.
