FAQs
What type of battery does this thermo-hygrometer use?
This device requires a button cell battery.
How do I calibrate the thermo-hygrometer?
This is an analogue device and does not feature a calibration function. For accurate readings, ensure it has acclimated to the environment.
Can I use this outside of a terrarium?
While designed for terrariums, it can be used in other enclosed spaces where temperature and humidity monitoring is needed, provided the environment is within its specified ranges.
Is the device waterproof?
The device is not waterproof. It is designed for monitoring the air temperature and humidity within a terrarium and should not be exposed to direct water.
How often should I check the battery?
Battery life varies, but it's recommended to check the readings and consider replacing the battery every 6-12 months, or if readings become erratic.
What is the diameter or width of the device?
The device has a width of 75 mm.
Troubleshooting
Device is not showing any readings.
Check if the button cell battery is correctly inserted and has sufficient charge. Ensure the battery is new if there is any doubt.
Readings appear inaccurate.
Allow the device at least 30 minutes to acclimate to the terrarium environment after initial setup or battery change. Ensure the device is not placed near a direct heat source or water feature which could skew readings.
Sticker is not holding the device in place.
Ensure the mounting surface is clean, dry, and smooth. If the sticker has lost adhesion, consider using a reptile-safe adhesive or double-sided tape as a secondary securing method.
