Dimming Thermostat Heat Mat

From 10 c up to 60 c 50 f 140 f red led and heating symbol will indicate when heating device is on.

Dimming thermostat heat mat.

Prorep heat mats have been tested with all microclimate thermostats. Always control heat mats with the appropriate thermostat. It means that using a thermostat is important irrespective of the heat source you re using but if it s a pad you can go for a dimming thermostat because it changes temperature in a subtle way and your pet never feels uncomfortable. Daytime and nighttime temperature can be set separately.

If you want a constant surface temperature for example a hatchling snake rack then the pulse proportional offers very accurate control and a continually warm mat rather than a hot cold cycle. A heat mat can be controlled with a dimming thermostat if the combined load with more than one heater attached exceeds 40 watts. It works between 50 and 140 f but it s only for heating devices not cooling. Controls heating devices up to 600w.

In other words if you connect a ceramic heater the thermostat will send just enough power or reduce the flow of electricity just enough to maintain the perfect temperature. If you opt for a heat mat then you ll want a mat stat if you opt for a heat lamp then a dimming thermostat is most suitable whilst for most other situations such as ceramic heaters a pulse thermostat will be the perfect solution. Heat mat and strips can be used with on off dimmer or pulse proportional thermostats. For the most accurate temperature control a pulse proportional or dimming thermostat should be used.

In our store we tend to use them for our tortoise and chameleon enclosures to keep the basking area at the perfect temperature. Push button dial system to avoid accidental setting or tampering. Simply connect your heat mat heat cable ceramic heater or heat bulb to the exo terra day night thermostat set the preferred daytime and nighttime temperatures and place the heat sensor in the desired spot. Dimming pulse proportional function controls terrarium temperatures very accurately.

Many mats now come with a built in thermostat controller but you ll be better off getting a standalone thermostat to manage things in a more reliable way. The first consideration you ll need to make is what type of heater you ll be controlling with your thermostat. Though the dimming thermostat can also be used with heat mats or ceramic heaters it won t be quite as effective as a pulse thermostat so we would only really use this for basking light. The push button dial system of the thermostat will prevent accidental changes of the set temperature if the device is being handled.

The habistat dimming thermostat is designed for controlling light bulbs providing one of the most accurate methods of temperature control.
