This manual provides detailed instructions for the safe and effective use of your thermostat.

2. caractéristiques du produit

• PID Technology: Accurately controls device output power for stable and efficient temperature regulation, reducing sudden temperature changes. (Note: Not for use with T5 lamps, fluorescent lamps, DEL lamps, or sun lamp(s.)
• Surveillance de la température en temps réel : Features a temperature probe that detects ambient temperature and adjusts output power accordingly. Control range: 68°F to 113°F (20°C to 45°C).
• Enhanced Reptile Health: Prevents temperature fluctuations and drastic lighting changes, contributing to the health and vitality of reptiles such as bearded dragons, lizards, ball pythons, chameleons, corn snakes, and turtles.
• Applications polyvalentes : Compatible with heating lamps, heating pads, and other equipment. Suitable for reptiles, amphibians, egg hatching, and plant seedlings. Maximum output load: 260W.
• Écran LCD : Shows real-time output power and environmental temperature for clear monitoring. LCD backlight turns off after 20 seconds to minimize disturbance at night. Switchable between °F and °C.
• Utilisation facile : Simply set the desired temperature, and the thermostat will maintain it. Ensure the temperature probe is placed correctly in the area requiring control.

3. Consignes de sécurité

6. Instructions de configuration

1. Placement of Temperature Probe:

   Carefully place the temperature probe in the area where you want to control the temperature. Ensure it is not directly touching the heating element or submerged in water unless specifically designed for such use. The probe detects if the current temperature reaches the set target.

7. Mode d'emploi

1. Setting Target Temperature (SV):

   With the device on, press the ENSEMBLE button once. The set temperature (SV) will flash. Use the - et + buttons to adjust the desired temperature. Press OK to confirm the setting. The thermostat will now work to maintain this temperature.

2. Changement d'unité de température (°F/°C) :

   Pour basculer entre Fahrenheit et Celsius, maintenez la touche ENSEMBLE button for approximately 3 seconds until the unit flashes. Use the - or + button to select your preferred unit, then press OK pour confirmer.

3. Comprendre l'affichage :

   The display shows the current temperature (PV), the set temperature (SV), and the output power percentage. The power meter bars indicate the current power output to the heating device. As the ambient temperature approaches the set temperature, the output power will gradually decrease (dimming) to maintain stability.

4. Fonction minuterie (le cas échéant) :

   The thermostat supports a timer function for a set duration. To activate, press the OK button to turn on the device. Press ENSEMBLE to enter the time setting mode. Adjust the hours using the - et + boutons. Presse OK to confirm. The device will maintain the set temperature for the specified duration. Note: The device does not have an internal clock for setting a specific start time; the timer begins when activated.
