Microclimate Pulse B2 600 Watt Vivarium Thermostat - Black
The B2 Thermostat allows precise control of any non-light emitting heat source up to 600w by using...The B2 Thermostat allows precise control of any non-light emitting heat source up to 600w by using advanced microprocessor technology. The B2 is a pulse proportional thermostat that pulses the power supplied to the heat source, for an accurate change in temperature inside the vivarium. A pulse thermostat is not suitable for light emitting heat sources as the power delivery to the heat sources would cause the bulb to flash. A recessed temperature control adjuster is used to prevent accidental temperature changes if the unit were to be knocked, which would be easily done if the dial protruded from the casing. A yellow LED provides real time feedback as to how much power is being supplied to the heater and the long cable lengths ensure the unit can be fitted easily into most vivarium setups.
Famed for its' reliability and accuracy, the Microclimate B2 thermostat is designed specifically for use with non-light emitting reptile heating equipment, such as ceramic heaters and heat mats, using between 5 and 600 watts in power, and can make looking after your reptile's heated environment so much easier!The Microclimate B2 Thermostat is what is known as a pulse proportional thermostat, meaning it sends pulses of energy of varying intensities to control the temperature in your vivarium or terrarium and keep it within the optimum parameters of your reptiles heating needs.Please note: Pulse proportional thermostats like this one are not suitable for glass or light emitting bulbs, which cannot handle the regular pulsing of power - stick to ceramics.
This guide helps reptile keepers understand and use the Microclimate Pulse B2 thermostat. It's designed for precise temperature control of non-light emitting heat sources, offering accurate heating for your vivarium. Keep in mind that this thermostat is not suitable for light-emitting bulbs, so stick to ceramics. This guide covers setup, usage, troubleshooting, and more to ensure optimal performance for your reptile's environment.

Troubleshooting
Heater is not turning on.
Check the power connection to both the thermostat and the heater. Ensure the power outlet is functioning and that the temperature setting is appropriate.
Temperature is not accurate.
Verify the temperature with a separate thermometer. Adjust the thermostat's setting as needed. Ensure the probe is correctly positioned.
Temperature fluctuates excessively.
Make sure the probe is not directly on the heat source. Ensure the enclosure is sealed properly to maintain temperature. Check the heat source for proper functioning.
