The mains cables fitted to the ministat are colour coded as follows :-

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 300 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.
