INSTALLING THE CONTROL UNIT:
After programming is complete, the unit can then be installed. Follow the steps below to complete the installation of your thermostat.
1. Set up terrarium:
Make sure that your terrarium is completely set-up and that the heater (or cooling device) is in place.
2.
Install the Temperature Sensor:
Before plugging in the heating/cooling device, place the remote sensor in the desired location
inside the terrarium. The sensor can be attached to the inside walls of your terrarium using the suction cup provided. Wherever the
sensor is placed is where the
REPTITEMP® Digital Thermostat
will be measuring the temperature.
3.
Mount the Control Unit:
Place the control in the desired location outside of your terrarium. Do not place the control unit inside the
terrarium as the higher temperatures and humidity levels can have adverse affects and cause eventual failure. The control unit can
be secured to the outside of the terrarium or other suitable surface using the two strips of included hook-and-loop fastener. The
control unit can also be rested on a flat surface adjacent to the terrarium if desired.
4.
Plug in the thermostat:
Your
REPTITEMP® Digital Thermostat
unit should already be plugged in and programmed. If you have
unplugged the
REPTITEMP® Digital Thermostat
to move it, plug it back in now. The programmed settings are stored in the
memory and will not need to be reset.
5.
Plug in Heating/Cooling Device:
Finally, plug in the heating (or cooling) device to the socket on the front of the controller.
Check to make sure that your heating/cooling device is switched on. The installation of your
REPTITEMP® Digital Thermostat
is now complete!
IMPORTANT NOTES:
•
DO NOT
use to control mercury vapor UVB lamps (e.g., PowerSun UV Self-ballasted Mercury Vapor lamp), compact fluorescent lamps, or
rock heaters.
•
Heat:
Make sure that your heating device (e.g., Ceramic Heat Emitter, ReptiTherm™ U.T.H. Under Tank Heater, etc.) has the ability to heat
your terrarium to the desired temperature. If your terrarium does not reach the desired temperature, you may need to replace the heating
device with one of higher wattage.
•
Sensor location:
The location of the sensor has a great effect on the temperature level in your terrarium. Be sure not to place the sensor too
close to the heating/cooling device. Be sure that the sensor is in a suitable location to provide the correct temperature gradient for your
animal(s).
DEFAULT SETTINGS:
To restore the default settings (listed below), press and hold the
“Mode”
and
“Set”
buttons at the same time for about 3 seconds.
NOTE:
This will erase all of your programmed settings.
