Exo Terra 100W Thermostat

THERMOSTAT EXO TERRA

The Exo Terra Digital Thermostat controls heating devices such as blankets or heating cables, to maintain the proper temperature for our reptiles. Thus, once the desired temperature has been set, the thermostat will activate to reach it and it will deactivate when it reaches it, automatically.

The importance of heating for reptiles

Reptiles are ectotherms, and obtain heat from an external source to regulate their optimal body temperature. Most reptiles use the radiant heat of the direct sun in combination with heat by conduction of surfaces heated by the sun, such as branches, rocks or other structures of heat accumulation. Providing a suitable temperature gradient for certain species in your terrarium is an important factor in the good maintenance of reptiles. With the Exo Terra Electronic Thermostat you can create a well controlled heating system that allows you to maintain the required temperature conditions, similar to those found in a desert or tropical environment. The Exo Terra thermostat will also help to prevent overheating and excessive cooling during hot summer days or cold winter nights.

The Exo Terra Thermostat must be adjusted according to the needs of the animals. You must thoroughly investigate the preferred range of optimal temperature for your specific reptile, so that you can create the correct temperature gradients inside the terrarium to allow your reptiles to thermos regulate.

The thermostat maintains the temperature at the set point with much greater precision than conventional thermostats and virtually eliminates abrupt temperature swings in the terrarium. In addition, it comes with a 190 cm / 6.2 feet cable with grounding and receptacle for added security and to allow use in a burglar or power strip. The waterproof remote sensor can be used safely in very wet terrariums and aquatic environments.

There are two models of Exo Terra Thermostats: ON / OFF and Day / Night Dimmable

Day / Night Dimmable Thermostat 600W

With the Exo Terra Daylight Dimmable 600 W Thermostat you can set a day and night temperature separately to ensure safe temperature fluctuations for reptiles between day and night. The dimmable or attenuating function maintains the temperature at the set point with much greater precision than conventional thermostats and virtually eliminates abrupt temperature swings in the terrarium. The easy-to-read blue LCD display shows the actual temperature in the terrarium and the set temperature, this screen will increase its brightness during the day and reduce it during the night. A red LED indicator and a heating symbol will indicate when the heating device is working. Once the set temperature has been reached, the LED indicator will turn blue and the heating symbol will no longer appear. The heat sensor that is placed inside the terrarium also has a built-in light sensor that detects the light intensity of the environment and will cause the thermostat to automatically switch between the day and night settings, depending on the intensity of the surrounding light . The dial and button system of the thermostat will prevent accidental changes in the set temperature while the appliance is being handled, that is, to change the temperature setting you have to press a button at the same time the dial is turned.

Thermostat ON / OFF 100W and 300W

The Exo Terra ON / OFF thermostat of 100 and 300 W, has an electronic TRIAC switch that maintains the temperature at the desired set point with a much higher precision compared to conventional thermostats and virtually eliminates the temperature oscillations in the terrarium. Simply connect the carpet, heating cable or ceramic heater to the Exo Terra Electronic Thermostat, set the preferred temperature and place the heat sensor at the desired point. The red LED heat indicator will illuminate when the heating device is on and off once the desired temperature has been reached. The thermostat dial is moved with a flat screwdriver or similar tool, to avoid accidental temperature changes if the device is being handled.
