spot. The recessed dial of the thermostat will prevent accidental
temperature change if the device is being handled. The Thermostat
comes with a power-cord with grounded plug & receptacle for
increased safety and to allow the use of a power outlet strip.
The waterproof remote sensor can be safely used in highly moist
terrariums and aquatic environments.
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 temperature 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
(like Exo Terra's Heat Mat, Heat Cable, Ceramic Heater, Infrared
Basking Spot or Night Heat Lamp), the Exo Terra 300W Dimming &
Pulse Proportional Thermostat 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 300W Dimming & Pulse Proportional
Thermostat 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 switch the Thermostat on at sunrise
4
and off at sunset either manually or by means of a timer, in order to
avoid the bulb to emit light at night disturbing your animal's normal
activity cycle.

OR INJURY TO PERSONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING: To guard against injury, basic precautions should be
observed when handling the appliance, including the following:
1. READ AND FOLLOW ALL SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS and all
important notices on the appliance before using. Failure to do so
may result in in personal injury or damage to the unit.
2. DANGER – For each of the following situations, do not attempt
repairs yourself; return the product to an authorized service
facility for service if it is still under warranty or discard the
appliance. Do not operate the appliance if it has a damaged
electrical cord or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or
damaged in any manner.
A. For INDOOR HOUSEHOLD USE ONLY, NOT for commercial use.
B. Carefully examine the appliance after installation. It should not
be plugged in if there is water on parts not intended to be wet.
C. Do not operate any appliance if it has a damaged cord or plug,
Thermostat according to the
®
or if it is malfunctioning or if it is dropped or damaged in any
manner. The power cord of this appliance is a Z type attachment
and cannot be replaced; if the cord is damaged, the appliance
should be discarded. Never cut the cord.
D. To avoid the possibility of the appliance plug or electrical socket
getting wet, position the unit to one side of a wall
mounted socket to prevent water from dripping
onto the socket or plug. A "drip-loop" should be
arranged. The "driploop" is that part of the cord
below the level of the socket, or the connector if
an extension cord is used, to prevent water from
traveling along the cord and coming into contact
with the socket. If the plug or socket does get wet,
DO NOT unplug the cord. Disconnect the fuse or circuit breaker
that supplies power to the appliance. Then unplug and examine
for the presence of water in the socket.
3. Read and observe all the important notices on the appliance.
4. This appliance can be used by children aged from 8 years and
above and persons with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities or lack of experience and knowledge if they have
been given supervision or instruction concerning use of the
appliance in a safe way and understand the hazards involved.
Children shall not play with the appliance. Cleaning and user
maintenance shall not be made by children without supervision.
5. To avoid injury, do not contact hot surfaces.
6. Always unplug an appliance from an outlet when not in use,
before putting on or taking off parts, and before cleaning. Never
yank cord to pull the plug from the outlet. Grasp the plug and pull
to disconnect.
7. Do not use the appliance for other than intended use. The use
of attachments not recommended or sold by the appliance
manufacturer may cause an unsafe condition.
8. Do not install or store the appliance where it will be exposed to
weather or to temperatures below freezing. Do not expose the
unit to direct sunlight.
9. If an extension cord is necessary, 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.
10. Ensure that the appliance is placed on a flat, even surface.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE
Only close adherence of these installation, electrical and
maintenance guidelines will ensure the safe and efficient use of
this appliance.
