Ministat 100
The ministat will operate any mains voltage heater as listed below :-
Ministat 100 heat mats up to 100 watts.
Do not attempt to operate the ministat with a greater load than specified. To do so may result in damage to the ministat.
Connections.
Connect the mains cable from your heater to the heater output of the ministat (fitted mains socket) using a suitable 13A plug (fitted with a 3A fuse).
Connect the ministat to the mains supply using the fitted mains plug.
Please note the mains plug is fitted with a 3A fuse which must be replaced with a 3a fuse in the event of a failure.
The mains cables fitted to the ministat are colour coded as follows :-
(Brown-Live) (Blue-Neutral) (Green/Yellow-Earth)
Installation.
Position the ministat sensor in the vivarium approximately 225mm (9 inches) away from the heat source. This is to ensure the sensor is measuring air temperature and not direct heat.
Always use a thermometer to check the temperature of the vivarium and adjust the ministat as required to give the required temperature.
Adjustment.
A small flat blade screwdriver can be used to adjust the temperature control of the ministat.
The ministat has a power indication led. When the led is lit power is being supplied to the heater.
The led will go out when the desired temperature has been reached.
When using a ministat 100 the temperature probe should be placed in the centre of the heat mat.
This ministat is fitted with a 13A plug and socket complying with EEC regulations. It is recommended that a 13A plug fitted with a 3A fuse is fitted to your heater . This then can be plugged into the ministat providing an easy method of disconnection if required.
The ministat is guaranteed for a period of 12 months from the date of purchase.
In the unlikely event of a component failure of the ministat if less than 3 months old the ministat will be replaced. If over three months old the ministat will be repaired free of charge. In order for the guarantee to be valid these instructions must be followed.
We reserve the right to repair rather than replace any ministat that has been altered in any way.
