keeping. With the Exo Terra Thermostat & Hygrostat with Day/Night
timer you can create a well-controlled heating/humidifying system
that allows you to maintain the required temperature and humidity
conditions similar to those found in desert and tropical environments.
The day- and night temperature and humidity can be set individually.
For instance; the temperature can be set lower for the night, while
the humidity can be set higher, just as it would occur in nature. The
Thermostat & Hygrostat will also help to prevent overheating and
undercooling during hot summer days or cold winter nights, while
keeping the humidity at the desired level. The Dimming function
keeps the temperature at the desired set-point with a much higher
accuracy than conventional thermostats and virtually eliminates
temperature swings in the terrarium. The easy-to-read LCD screen
shows heating mode, day or night mode and actual temperature
and humidity. A Red LED will indicate when the heating device is
powered and once the set temperature is reached, the Red LED
will no longer show. A Blue LED will indicate when the humidifying
device is powered and once the set humidity level is reached, the
Blue LED will no longer show.
Simply connect your Heat Mat, Heat Cable or Ceramic Heater and
a Fogger or Humidifier to the Exo Terra Thermostat & Hygrostat,
set the preferred temperature & humidity and place the heat and
humidity sensor in the desired spot. The push button/dial system of
the Thermostat & Hygrostat will prevent accidental changes of the
set temperature and humidity level if the device is being handled.
The Thermostat comes with a power cord with grounded plug &
receptacle for increased safety and to allow the use of a power
outlet strip. The remote sensor can be safely used in highly moist
terrariums.

The Exo Terra Thermostat & Hygrostat should be set according
®
to the needs of the animals. Thoroughly research the preferred
optimum temperature (POTR) and humidity range for your specific
reptile, so you can create the correct temperature gradients
and humidity inside the terrarium to allow your reptiles to
thermoregulate and maintain their moisture levels.
Always use a Thermometer & Hygrometer to monitor the
temperature and humidity inside your terrarium. Adjust the
Exo Terra Thermostat & Hygrostat according to the required
®
temperature and humidity range for your pet's environment.
NOTE: In combination with a non-visible light emitting heat source
(like Exo Terra's Heat Mat, Heat Cable, Ceramic Heater, Infrared
Basking Spot or Night Heat Lamp), the Exo Terra Thermostat &
Hygrostat allows you to create a well-controlled 24-hour heating
system that will not interrupt your animal's normal activity cycle,
while maintaining the required temperature and humidity conditions
similar to those found in their natural environment.
NOTE: When using the Exo Terra Thermostat & Hygrostat in
combination with a visible-light emitting bulb (like Exo Terra's
Intense Basking Spot, Daylight Basking Spot or Daytime Heat Lamp)
to create a daytime basking area or for ambient daytime heating
purposes, you need to set the night-time temperature at its lowest
point (10°C or 50°F) in order to avoid the bulb to emit light at night
disturbing your animal's normal activity cycle.
READ INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY PRIOR TO INSTALLATION AND
OPERATION.

OR INJURY TO PERSONS

IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS

WARNING: This appliance has a polarized plug (one blade is wider
than the other). As a safety feature, this plug will fit in a polarized
socket only one way. If the plug does not fit fully in the socket,
reverse the plug. If it still does not fit, contact a qualified electrician.
Never use with an extension cord unless plug can be fully inserted.
Do not attempt to defeat this safety feature.
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic precautions should be
observed when handling the appliance, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and all
important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do
so may result in in personal injury or damage to the unit.
2. DANGER – For each of the following situations, do not attempt
repairs yourself; return the product to an authorized service
facility for service if it is still under warranty or discard the
appliance. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged
electrical cord or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner. Never use with an extension cord
unless plug can be fully inserted. Do not attempt to defeat this
safety feature.
A. For INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY, NOT for commercial use.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or
plug, or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged
in any manner. The power cord of this appliance is a Z type
attachment and cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged,
the appliance should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical
socket getting wet, position the unit to one
side of a wall-mounted socket to prevent
water from dripping onto the socket or plug. A
"drip-loop" should be arranged. The "drip loop"
is that part of the cord below the level of the
socket, or the connector if an extension cord is
used, to prevent water from traveling along the
cord and coming into contact with the socket.
If the plug or socket does get wet, DO NOT unplug the cord.
Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker that supplies power to
the appliance. Then unplug and examine for the presence of
water in the socket.
3. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
4. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years
and above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or
mental capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if
they have been given supervision or instruction concerning
use of the appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards
involved. Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning
and user maintenance shall not be made by children without
supervision.
5. To avoid injury, do not contact hot surfaces.
6. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning.
