SET UP THE THERMOSTAT
1.Insert the probe approximately 1” - 1 1/2” into the rooting area.
2.Position the thermostat up and away from seedling trays and stray water. DO NOT SUBMERGE THE THERMOSTAT
3.Plug the heat mat into the thermostat
4.Plug the thermostats power cord into the power source/ electrical outlet.
5.Set the maximum desired temperature for the heat mat.
USING THE CONTROLLER
1.Press the SET button to display the current pre-set temperature. The thermostat’s LED screen shows the current temperature whenever the SET button is not activated.
2.Press and hold the SET button for three second to enter temperature selection mode. Press the UP or DOWN button to adjust the temperature. The thermostat’s LED screen shows the numbers as you cycle through them. Press the SET button again to set the chosen temperature. The HEATING light cycles on when the mat is in the process of heating. When the LED is not lit, the mat is not providing heat. The light turns off automatically when the mat reaches the preset temperature.
3.Press the DOWN button to display the temperature in Celsius. Press the UP button to display the temperature in Fahrenheit.
TIPS
The digital heat mat is designed to achieve the desired heat temperature within 5 hours. If it take longer than 5 hours, or if the mat runs longer than 5 hours, desired temperatures are not being reached. To conserve power and increase the mat’s effectiveness, move the mat to a more insulated surface. You can also add a humidity dome to cover the seedling tray, which aides in heat retention.
