Description

If you have a small heat mat and you need it to be thermostatically controlled then the MicroClimate Ministat 100 is the one. The Ministat 100 is an on/off thermostat and is the ideal thermostat if you are using smaller heating equipment up to 100w, such as a heat mat. The temperature adjuster is recessed preventing it from being accidentally changed.

Reptiles need an environment that is similar to their natural habitat and the Microclimate Ministat will help to replicate this with the correct temperature for your exotic friend. Reptiles are not able to control their own body temperature as they are cold blooded animals.

Vivariums or terrariums should have areas of differing temperatures - an area for basking which should be warm and an area for cooling down. Therefore, it stands to reason that the thermostat should be placed in a neutral area of the vivarium and not directly under a heating source as this would only give the temperature of the basking area. Most reptiles need a constant temperature of between 21°C and 29°C (70°F - 85°F) to be comfortable. The incorrect temperature can cause misery for some reptiles and even death. This product is sourced and made in the U.K. which is reassuring to know that it is a quality item.

Features:
On/Off thermostat Constant Temperature 100 Watts maximum load 19°C - 35°C temperature range Adjustment dial 2.5m sensor 5 year warranty

Installing the thermostat;
Find a suitable location for the thermostat to be located on the outside of the enclosure ensuring sufficient cable is available for the sensor to reach the desired location. The sensor should be installed inside the vivarium and hanging in free air.

Do not mount the sensor to the wall of the vivarium to ensure the sensor is measuring the air temperature and not the wall temperature. However, if you are controlling a heat mat installed underneath a layer of substrate inside the vivarium then we recommend the sensor is placed under the substrate and is attached to the top of the heat mat. This allows direct control of the temperature of the heat mat and not the air temperature.

Connect the mains cable from your heat source to the heater socket on the thermostat using a suitable mains plug fitted with a 3 amp fuse. Connect the mains cable from the thermostat to your mains supply. Please note the mains plug is fitted with a 3 amp fuse.

For further instructions on how to use the thermostat, please see instruction manual included.
