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 dial. 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. NOTE: If using with a substrate heating device,
please follow manufacturer's instructions for safe use of the
heating device.
5. Place the top screen cover back on the terrarium and lock it
into position.
6. Close the remaining inlets by sliding the slider against the tubing
or wires to prevent escape from feeding insects and smaller
animals.
7. Place the Exo Terra Thermostat on a solid, level surface.

8. Connect your heating device (Heat Mat, Heat Cable, Ceramic
Heater, Incandescent Heat Bulbs, etc.) to the receptacle of the
thermostat. Controls heating devices up to 600W.
INSTALLATION in other Terrarium Models
1. Refer to your terrarium's instruction manual for instructions on
how to install equipment, wiring and sensor cables inside the
terrarium.
2. Position the sensor inside your terrarium, in the location where
you want to reach the temperature set on the dial. 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. NOTE: If using with a substrate heating device,
please follow manufacturer's instructions for safe use of the
heating device.
3. Place the Exo Terra
® Thermostat on a solid, level surface.
4. Connect your heating device (Heat Mat, Heat Cable, Ceramic
Heater, Incandescent Heat Bulbs, etc.) to the receptacle of the
thermostat. Controls heating devices up to 600W.
WARNING: Do not overload the Exo Terra
necting heat devices with outputs greater than 600W. Damage
from overloading is considered misuse and is exempt from the
guarantee.
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 temperatures inside
your terrarium. Adjust the Exo Terra
required temperature range for your pet's environment.
NOTE: In combination with a non-visible light emitting heat source
Natural Terrarium:
®
Thermostat by con-
®
thermostat according to the
®
(like Exo Terra's Heat Mat, Heat Cable, Ceramic Heater, Infrared
Basking Spot or Night Heat Lamp), the Exo Terra 600W Thermostat
with Timer 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 conditions similar to
those found in their natural environment.
NOTE: When using the Exo Terra 600W Thermostat with Timer
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 (50°F - 10°C) in order to avoid the bulb to emit light and thus
disturb your animal's normal activity cycle.
INITIAL SETTING in °F or °C:
• Simply plug-in the Thermostat to go with the initial setting:
Dimming Mode – 86°F Daytime and 77°F Night-time

• If you want to switch to °C, please press and hold the MOON
button on the back while plugging-in the device. The Thermostat
