Terrariums made of wood:
Drill a hole of 25 mm diameter in the terrarium top at a distance of approx. 10 cm
from the mounted hook.
Disconnect the quick connection in the lead of the TempSet heat by unscrewing
the union nut and pulling the two halves apart. Put the mains lead to the side so it
can be fitted later. Hang the TempSet heat from the mounted hook.
Insert the cable with the quick connection, which is still attached to the TempSet
heat, through the predrilled hole until it is sealed off by the metal plate with strain
relief.
Terrariums with ventilation screens made from metal:
Secure the metal plate with the last two threaded screws by screwing them
through the ventilation screen from the outside and into the thread of the metal
plate.
Terrariums made of wood:
Secure the metal plate in the top of the terrarium from the inside with two self-cut-
ting wood screws .
Unscrew the grub screw on the strain relief and pull the cable from the outside un-
til there is barely a hanging loop, or none at all, left in the terrarium. Use the grub
screw to secure the cable in the strain relief again.
Open the protective mesh on the TempSet heat by unscrewing the fixing screw
opposite the hinge. Screw a suitable ceramic heat lamp (e.g. JBL ReptilHeat) into
the socket. Make sure to hold the socket with the other hand to prevent it from
twisting. Close the mesh cover and secure it with the fixing screw.
Now connect the quick connection between the TempSet heat and the mains lead
which was put to the side earlier. Connect the mains lead to the power supply. To
switch off the light, disconnect the power plug. A standard automatic timer can be
used instead to have the light switched on and off automatically.
Please note:
As an alternative to using screws to mount the hang-up hook and metal plate, an MS poly-
mer adhesive can be used to mount them on the ventilation screen or the wooden panel.
Adhesives of this kind are usually sold as general-purpose glues or underwater silicones (e.g.
JBL Haru) in specialist shops that have a wide range of products. Apply 4 larger-sized dots
of adhesive on the corners of the plate and press it onto the mounting surface (screen or
wooden panel). Make sure to keep an adhesive layer of approx. 1 mm between the mount-
ing surface and the metal plate so that it can be removed by a cutter blade later on if neces-
sary. Please note that the setting time is normally 24 hours.
