2. Feartan toraidh
- PID Technology: Accurately controls device output power for stable and efficient temperature regulation, reducing sudden temperature changes. (Note: Not for use with T5 lamps, flùraiseach lamps, LED lamps, or sun lamps.)
- Real-time Temperature Monitoring: 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.
- Iarrtasan ioma-chruthach: Compatible with heating lamps, heating pads, and other equipment. Suitable for reptiles, amphibians, egg hatching, and plant seedlings. Maximum output load: 260W.
- Taisbeanadh 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.
- Obrachadh furasta: Simply set the desired temperature, and the thermostat will maintain it. Ensure the temperature probe is placed correctly in the area requiring control.

6. Stiùireadh Stèidheachaidh
- 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.

- Cumhachd air:
Plug the thermostat into a standard 120VAC, 60Hz power outlet. Press the OK putan gus an inneal a thionndadh air.

Image: A finger pressing the 'OK' button on the thermostat to power it on.
- Suidhich an ùine làithreach:
Brùth an SET button. The time display will flash. Use the - agus + putanan gus an uair agus am mionaid atharrachadh. Brùth OK gus gach suidheachadh a dhearbhadh.

7. Stiùireadh Obrachaidh
- Setting Target Temperature (SV):
Leis an inneal air, brùth air a’ phutan SET button once. The set temperature (SV) will flash. Use the - agus + putanan gus an teòthachd a tha thu ag iarraidh atharrachadh. Brùth OK to confirm the setting. The thermostat will now work to maintain this temperature.

Image: A finger pressing the '+' button to increase the set temperature on the thermostat display.
- Switching Temperature Units (°F/°C):
Gus gluasad eadar Fahrenheit agus Celsius, brùth is gleidh an SET button for approximately 3 seconds until the unit flashes. Use the - or + button to select your preferred unit, then press OK a dhearbhadh.
- A’ tuigsinn an taisbeanaidh:
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.

- Gnìomh an Timer (ma tha sin iomchaidh):
The thermostat supports a timer function for a set duration. To activate, press the OK button to turn on the device. Press SET to enter the time setting mode. Adjust the hours using the - agus + putanan. Brùth 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.

| Chan eil an teirmeastat a’ tionndadh air. | Gun chumhachd, ceangal sgaoilte. | Check power outlet and ensure the thermostat is securely plugged in. Press the OK button to power on. |
| Temperature not reaching set target or fluctuating significantly. | Heating element too weak/strong, probe improperly placed, incompatible heating device. | Ensure heating element wattage is appropriate for the enclosure size. Reposition the probe away from direct heat or cold spots. Verify heating device compatibility (not for T5, fluorescent, LED, or sun lamps). |
| Display shows incomplete information (e.g., only '9' instead of '90'). | Taisbeanadh mì-ghnàthachadh. | Unplug the device, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Heating element is always on/off, not dimming. | Incompatible heating element, thermostat malfunction. | Ensure the connected heating element is dimmable. Some heating elements are only on/off. If using a dimmable element and the issue persists, contact customer support. |
