3. Connexion du thermostat : Plug the heat mat's power cord into the thermostat's output socket.
4. Placement de la sonde : Crucially, place the temperature probe directly on the surface of the heat mat, underneath your seedling trays or cloning dome. Do not insert the probe into the soil or water. This ensures the thermostat accurately measures the mat's surface temperature, providing consistent heat to the root zone.

The digital thermostat allows precise control of the heat mat's temperature, ensuring the 'sweet spot' for plant growth, typically between 68-86°F (20-30°C).

Mode d'emploi

The digital thermostat allows for easy temperature control:

1. Marche/Arrêt : Appuyez sur le bouton d'alimentation pour allumer ou éteindre le thermostat.
2. Définir la température cible : Press and hold the 'SET' button for 3 seconds until the display starts blinking. Use the 'UP' and 'DOWN' arrow buttons to adjust the desired temperature.
3. Confirmer le réglage : Press the 'SET' button again to confirm your temperature selection. The display will stop blinking and show the current temperature.
4. Plage de température : The thermostat supports a temperature range of 32~110°F (0~43°C).
5. Unités de commutation : Use the °C/°F button to switch between Celsius and Fahrenheit display modes.

Visual instructions for operating the thermostat: plug in, press 'SET' for 3 seconds to adjust temperature with UP/DOWN buttons, then press 'SET' again to confirm. Important: Do not immerse the controller or probe in water, and do not exceed 1000 watts.
