The integrated design adopting multiple control in temperature and timing can meet the needs of reptile
pets for temperature, lighting and other environmental conditions.
Thanks to the “One Click” setting function, it can quickly switch to Tropical Mode or Desert Mode.
With separate day and night temperature control design, it can adequately simulate the diurnal
temperature variations of reptile pets.
The temperature sensor connectors employ quick-plug design, which can realize fast storage and
replacement, and simple and practical product maintenance to a certain extent.
The cooling delay protection function can prevent the cold air compressor from being damaged due to
frequent start-up and signicantly prolong the service life of the cooling device.

The over-temperature alarm function can intuitively show the discomforts of pets arising from the
temperature being too high or too low thus to better protect your pet.
Relying on the power failure memory function, the parameters that have been set can be memorized
in case of power off or sudden power failure so that the control box doesn’t need to be reset in such a
circumstance.
The overload protection function of power output box can eliminate the unsafe hazards caused by
excessive load power or short circuit.

4. Operation description:
• This product can turn on and off the devices on two-way power supplies by controlling two-way power
outputs. As shown in the diagram above, control the heating lamp and UV lamp respectively at two ways.
• Operation description of the device at way A (heating lamp):
First, set the current time based on which we can determine whether to enable the day temperature
controller or the night temperature controller, and then set the power-on temperature and power-off
temperature with the day temperature controller or the night temperature controller. If the current
temperature is ≤ the power-on temperature, start way A power output and the heating lamp will start
working. Conversely, if the temperature is ≥ the power-off temperature, stop way A power output and the
heating lamp will stop working.
• Operation description of the device at way B (UV lamp):
Set the time by timer. A maximum of 4 time periods can be set (four power-on time and four power-off
time). If the current time reaches the power-on time value, start way B power output and the UV lamp will
start working. Conversely, if the current time reaches the power-off output value, stop way B power
output and the UV lamp will stop working.

• Settings of current time, day and night starting time:
Press the " Time " button in sequence, and the corresponding hours, minutes corresponding to current
time, day starting time and night starting time will ash on the LCD in sequence. When the number is
ashing, you can adjust it by pressing "▲" or "▼", increasing or decreasing by 1 each time. Long press
to increase or decrease the value quickly.
• Desert mode: Long press “Desert” for 3 seconds to directly call the preset temperature values in the
Desert mode.
(Please refer to Chapter IV: Technical parameters and description, clause 2 "Original parameters /

When the rst value is greater than the second value under the symbol " ", it means
cooling mode.
The cooling mode is started with 3 min. delay every time to prevent the compression pump of the cooling
device from being damaged due to frequent startup in a short time.
When the rst value is less than the second value under the symbols " " and
" ", it means heating mode.
• Day and night temperature setting:
Press the " " and " " in sequence. The corresponding day temperature and night temperature will
ash in sequence on the LCD. When the number is ashing, you can adjust it by pressing "▲" or "▼",
increasing or decreasing by 1 each time. Long press to increase or decrease the value quickly.

Power-on and power-off time values for time period 1:
Press the " " button in turn, and the hours, minutes, and seconds of the power-on and power-off time of
pressing "▲" or "▼", increasing or decreasing by 1 each time. Long press to increase or decrease the
value quickly.
Notes:
A total of 8 time points should be set for the power-on and power-off time of four time periods. If the power-
on time of time period 1 is set to T1, the power-off time of time period 1 will be T2; the power-on time of time
period 2 will be T3, the power-off time of time period 2 will be T4; the power-on time of time period 3 will
be T5, the power-off time of time period 3 will be T6; the power-on time of time period 4 will be T7, and the
power-off time of time period 4 will be T8.
Then, when we set the values, we must make sure that T1≤ T2≤ T3≤ T4≤ T5≤ T6≤ T7≤ T8.
The setting method of power-on and power-off time of time period 2, 3 and 4 is the same as above.

• Description of over-temperature alarm function:
Over-temperature alarm:
For example, if the preset upper temperature limit is 95°F the over-temperature alarm will be
made at 100.6°F. You can press any key to turn off the alarm sound, and set other values after
turning off the audible alarm.
Ultralow temperature alarm:
For example, if the preset temperature is 86°F, the ultralow temperature alarm will be made at
