Digital D/N Dim Temp Cont DTC-120

This dimming day/night temperature controller is different from the standard day/night temperature controller as it regulates the temperature by adjusting the current (amps) to the heating device that in turn reduces or increases the amount of electricity it uses and subsequently the amount the heat source produces.  Controls heater loads up to 1200 watts.

Features:
Blue tape LCD display, simple operation
PID temperature controller
Temperature adjusted per 0.1°C
Two timers can be set during 24 hours
Uses a inbuilt real-time clock to control the light so simulating the day and night as in the real environment
Can be set with a separate day and night time temperature
Three kinds of temperature alarms, mute function available
Can be used in both wet and dry environments
Backlight auto shut down if without operation for 10 minutes
Small in size making it stylish and discrete

If NIGHT FROM time is earlier than DAY FROM time, display error message “ERR”.

General Setting Note:
Parameters of temperature and timers can be viewed by pressing UP or DOWN key in normal status.
If you do not complete a setting and the unit is left and settings are not saved, the product returns to default settings automatically if no key is operated within 15 seconds.
Upper and lower temperature limits setting:
You can set a limit to the temperature range that your thermostat operates at. The default is between 0°C -50°C but you can reduce this range. To do this, in normal working status:
Highest temperature limit setting: Press UP button for 5 seconds to display default upper temperature limit settings and then press UP or DOWN button to modify the set value.
Lowest temperature limit setting: Press DOWN button for 5 seconds to display default lower temperature limit settings and then press UP or DOWN button to modify the set value.
Temperature alarming:
There are three temperature alarms. The firstis for when the temperature exceeds the set ‘TEMP ALARM’ selected earlier. The unit will beep and the alarm icon flashes in the below situations:
The measured temperature > the set temperature + set over temperature
The measured temperature < the set temperature –set over temperature
The second alarm occurs when the Lowest or Highest set temperature is exceeded. In default mode, the alarm will sound and the alarm icon flashes in the below situations:
The measured temperature <0.0°C(the Lowest set temperature).’LLL’ will also flash.
The measured temperature >50.0°C(the Highest set temperature). ‘HHH’ will also flash.
The last alarm is for if the probe has an open or short circuit. The unit will display an error message for the probe fault ‘ERR’ and the alarm will sound.
Mute alarming manually:
When an over temperature alarm sounds, you can press any key to mute this. However, a probe fault alarm sound cannot be muted.
You can set whether you have the alarm on or off. Press and at the same time for 3 seconds. The option becomes available to choose whether to turn the alarm sound on or off. AL: Alarm sound on, NO: No alarm sounds. Choose the option you require by using the or button and Press <button to finish and exit.
*PID controller: proportional–integral–derivative controller.
The PID* controller regulates the temperature by adjusting the current (amps) to the heating device that in turn reduces or increases the amount of electricity it uses and subsequently the amount the heat source produces. This makes the thermostat very accurate while the dimming extends the life of heating elements, particularly incandescent globes that do not last long when used with a conventional ON/OFF thermostat.

• Allows you to control a day time temperature and night time temperature automatically. Ideal for incubating snake eggs, especially Ball Pythons.
• Makes sure your reptile’s heat source is at the optimal temperature all the time.
• Remembers all settings and times when the power goes off for load shedding, so there is no need to reset the device. When the power comes back on everything will continue to work as normal.
• Has a 24 hour timer for lighting if you are using it on a display enclosure.
• Controls the temperature to your choice up to 0.1 Degrees Celsius.
