Proportional thermostats work by varying the power output of the heat source depending on how close the measured temperature is to the desired level. This gives much closer control over the temperature than simple on / off control. A pulse proportional thermostat turns the heat source on for short pulses, the longer the pulses the more heat is produced, this is not suitable for light emitting sources as the constant flashing would be very annoying to both animals and owner. A dimming thermostat is particularly suited to controlling a light emitting heat source but can also be used to control any mix of heat sources.
The B1ME and B2ME magic eye thermostats work just like B1 and B2 proportional thermostats but have an extra feature which can reduce the controlled temperature at night automatically. They do this by sensing the ambient light level and reducing the controlled temperature by a set amount when darkness is detected. The point at which the thermostat thinks it is dark can also be set.
oDimming proportional thermostat with magic eye.
oSuitable for the control of any heat source up to 600 watts.
oDaytime temperature control range 19 - 35 C, night time drop range 0 - 14 C
oSize 101 x 78 x 41mm with 1.5m cables with fitted plug, socket and sensor.
oA vital piece of equipment for any vivarium.
oTamper proof temprature setting, power light and heat light.
oEasy to use just plug the heat source in and insert probe into vivarium and set at desired temperature.
oThis model has a night time setting just adjust to desired temprature drop and when all the lights have gone off the magic eye on the thermostat
switches to the nightime temprature.
oShould be used in conjunction with a thermometer.
