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 300W.
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

are using a Ceramic Heater or Heat Bulb to heat up a certain

WARNING: Do not overload the Exo Terra
necting heat devices with outputs greater than 300W. 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 inside temperatures of
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
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.
Choose between Pulse Proportional, Dimming or ON/OFF mode:
By setting the switch (on the back of the thermostat) to ON/
OFF (O), Dimming (D) or Pulse (P), you can determine the heating
mode. The Dimming & Pulse Proportional functions both keep the
temperature at the desired setpoint with a much higher accuracy
than conventional thermostats and virtually eliminate temperature
swings in the terrarium. The Dimming mode is the preferred setting
for use with Incandescent or Infrared Heat Bulbs. If you prefer
wider temperature fluctuations for specific reptile species, set the
Thermostat to the ON/OFF mode.
Set Temperature
To set the preferred temperature: turn the temperature dial on the
backside of the thermostat, using a flathead screwdriver or other
tool. A red LED will light up, to indicate that the Thermostat is
powering the connected heating device, until the set temperature
has been reached on the location of the sensor.
A. Red LED lights up: heating device is powered.
B. Blue LED lights up: set temperature has been reached and heating
device is no longer powered.
"Please note that the Red LED indicates power to the attached
heating device and not mains power to the Exo Terra
Troubleshooting
There is no LED indicator illuminated on the unit: check if the device
is connected to a power source
There is a Blue LED indicator illuminated on the unit: the Red
LED indicator has switched from RED to BLUE because the set
temperature has been reached
