ensure the connection is watertight
and dust proof. A cord with a proper
rating should be used. A cord rated
for less amperes or watts than the
appliance rating may overheat. Care
should be taken to arrange the cord
so that it will not be tripped over or
pulled. The connection should
be carried out by a qualified
electrical installer.

INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION in Exo Terra
Follow this installation procedure to install the Exo Terra
Thermostat on any size of Exo Terra
1. Unlock the top screen cover and lift it off the terrarium.
2. Slide one of the inlet holes (located on the back of the screen top
on either side) to the open position, so the wiring will fit through.
3. Feed the wire with sensor through the first available inlet hole on
the preferred side on the back of the screen cover.
4. Position the sensor inside your terrarium, in the location where
you want to reach the temperature set on the Blue LCD Screen.
This can be on top of the substrate if you are using a Heat Mat
or Heat Cable, but this can also be on a branch, cave or pile of
stones if you are using a Ceramic Heater or Heat Bulb to heat up
a certain basking area.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
The Exo Terra Thermostat should be set according to the needs
®
of the animals. Thoroughly research the preferred optimum
temperature range (POTR) for your specific reptile, so you can
create the correct temperature gradients inside the terrarium to
allow your reptiles to thermoregulate.
Always use a thermometer to monitor the inside temperatures
of your terrarium. Adjust the Exo Terra
the required temperature range for your pet's environment.
Choose between DIMMING or ON/OFF mode
The Exo Terra 600W Dimming Thermostat with Day/Night function
®
can be switched from Dimming function to ON/OFF function
if desired. The Dimming mode will provide the most accurate
temperature control and virtually eliminates temperature swings.
The ON/OFF function will allow the temperature to fluctuate a bit,
resulting in some minor temperature swings.
• The standard and most accurate setting of the Exo Terra
Dimming Thermostat with Day/Night function is the Dimming
mode, but in case you prefer to use the ON/OFF mode, press
and hold the pinhole (C/F) on the back of the thermostat with a
pen or similar tool for 3 seconds and the mode will change from
Dimming to ON/OFF. In Dimming mode, the "°C" or "°F" symbol
on the Blue LCD screen will show constantly, when in ON/OFF
mode the "°C" or "°F" symbol on the Blue LCD screen will flash
every 2 seconds. To switch back to Dimming mode press and
hold the pinhole (C/F) on the back of the thermostat with a pen
