How long is the PROBE cord?


How long is the cord to plug it in?


Is this a pulse thermostat?

Answer by ChewyJun 29, 2021
This is not a pulse thermostat. In HEAT mode, the controller will turn on heating devices (e.g., heat lamps, under tank heaters, ceramic heat emitters) when the actual temperature in your terrarium drops below the programmed temperature setting. In COOL mode, the controller will turn on a cooling device (e.g., fan) when the temperature in your terrarium rises above the programmed temperature setting. The probe for this thermometer can be placed in the substrate, wrapped around furniture or branches or taped to the side of the tank. Please be sure that your animal cannot chew on or entangle itself in the cable.

Is this item only meant for 1 under tank heater or am I able to reuse the thermostat every time I purchase a new/larger size under tank heater?

Answer by ChewyNov 11, 2021
This thermostat controls the power output to whatever is plugged into it based on the temperature it reads. Multiple heaters can be plugged into it using an additional extension cable and all the heaters will be either on or off based on the setting of the thermostat.

Set it and forget it

Love this thing. Feels robust and well put-together, and it has a backlit, very easy-to-read display. It came with mounting strips to secure it to the outside of a tank, which I appreciated. Only gripe is that when selecting the set temp, it only counts up. Meaning if you accidentally overshoot your desired set temp when selecting it, you have to continue to cycle up until the value resets back to the lowest on the range, then count up all over again to reach the desired value. It's not a big enough problem to take a star away, because since it is a set-it-and-forget-it solution, you only have to do it at initial setup.

This is a good thermostat. I use it with a ceramic heat emitter because it isn't dimming, so it doesn't work well with light emitting heat bulbs. It turns the lamp

This is a good thermostat. I use it with a ceramic heat emitter because it isn't dimming, so it doesn't work well with light emitting heat bulbs. It turns the lamp on and off to keep my pet at a safe and comfortable temperature.

It’s what you think it is.

Cheaper than any in store options. Works as it should. Still over priced but that’s how all “reptile” products are.

Perfect!

Great for the peace of mind knowing my lil guy won’t get too hot or cold at night. Saves money not running his CHE all night when it’s not needed. It was so easy

Backup battery for the win!

I love that this has batteries so in case the power goes out, it stays set. I completely unplugged it for a couple days while setting up my enclosure and it ran

I love that this has batteries so in case the power goes out, it stays set. I completely unplugged it for a couple days while setting up my enclosure and it ran just fine the whole time.
