• Basic probe thermostat that switches on and off at the desired temperature.
• (Similar to the "Probe Thermostat Model THATO40".)
• Can be used to control all heat sources to a maximum of 300 watts
• Suitable for use with light bulbs

Can be used with a variety of heaters. It has an accurate dial calibrated in both Farenheit and Celcius. Ideal for controlling heat mats, and other low powered heaters up a maximum load of 300 watts.

• Economic probe thermostat that switches on and off at the desired temperature.
• Similar to the Temperature Thermostat but designed for smaller heat sources up to 100 watts.
• Ideal for controlling the temperature in most smaller enclosures
• NOT Suitable for use with light bulbs

Although some heat mats can be used without thermostats, the cage temperature can fluctuate with the ambient temperature. Too hot outside and there is the likelihood of the enclosure overheating. With minimal additional cost it can be assured that overheating will not occur in hot weather.

• Two Temperature Thermostats in one box.
• Two probe thermostat that switches on and off at the desired temperature independently on each channel.
• NOT suitable for use with light bulbs

Perfect for controlling two heaters independently. When a specific temperature gradient is required this is the unit to use. It will control two heaters with a maximum of 300 watts for each channel. This enables each heater to be set at a different temperature, even in the same enclosure. One channel can control the general background heat, whilst the other channel can control a "hot spot" to give the reptiles that essential temperature gradient that is so important to their husbandry. It can alternatively be used to control two seperate heaters in two seperate cages.

• Turns on to cool when the temperature increases to the value set
• (Similar to the "Fan / CoolingThermostat".)

• no minimum Load
• NOT suitable for use with light bulbs

• Minimum Load 40 Watt
• Pulse Proportional thermostat with the option of a night time temperature adjustment using the Habistat Night Eye (Available separately)
• NOT suitable for use with light bulbs

• Very accurate temperature control.
• Adjusts output to maintain heat at the level set.
• Increases bulb life as light bulbs are rarely runnng flat out.
• Minimum Load 40 Watt

• Dimming thermostat with the option of a night time temperature adjustment using the Habistat Night Eye(Available separately)
• Minimum Load 40 Watt

• Electronic, light activated switch for Habistat Day/Night Thermostats
• Switches output to a lower temperature when "Night"/darkness is detected by the sensor.
• Temperature drop is adjustable between 5C and 15C but limited by ambient surrounding temperatures.
• Ideal for use for sophisticated management of environmental heating where a lower temperature is desired "at Night".

The Night Eye will switch the day night function of the HabiStat Day/Night Pulse or Dimming thermostats on and off. It does this by sensing the light level. When it is light the day time temperature will be set and when it is dark the lower night time temperature will be activated. The difference between the on and off levels has been adjusted so that the unit does not flicker at the triggering point nor will it switch on and off due to minor variations in brightness.

The Night Eye should not be used with anything but HabiStat Day/Night Thermostats. The output plug is specifically matched to fit these thermostats. Under no circumstances should it be removed. Night Eye units will often replace the time switches that have been used to regulate the day/night cycle in vivariums.

By synchronising with natural daylight, maximum effect can be gained from the day/night function. This will include controlling the photoperiod and seasonal temperature ranges that are so important to many species reproductive cycles. Most uses will include altering the temperature range of those things that act as artificial suns, that is heaters and lights. It should also be noted that the light sensor must not be influenced by any of the lights it is controlling. This would cause a 'feed back loop' and lead to a very unstable system. Place the unit with the sensor exposed to the light source that it is to mimic. This will usually be the sun, so an obvious place to position the Night Eye is in a window. It does not have to be in direct sunlight as ordinary diffuse daylight is bright enough to effect the triggering level. Another position of use would be under a room light where it is intended that thermostatic control should be coupled with the main lighting.

• Electronic, light activated switch for mains equipment
• Switches up to 600 Watts on when the light levels fall and off again when the light levels fall.
• Used in sophisticated management of environmental heating and ventilation

The range of items that can be switched is only limited by a maximum load of 600 watts and the imagination. Most uses will include switching on heaters that are only required during the night. One of the major advantages of the Moon Switch is that the natural day/night cycle is duplicated including the seasonal variations of long day length summers and short day length winters.

Reptiles that are active at night are just as dependent upon external heat sources as their day active relatives. The major difference being they are often able to cope with temperatures that are a little lower. The Moon Switch will switch on these secondary heaters While the companion Sun Switch will switch off the higher but still necessary day time heaters and brighter lights. The Moon Switch can be used to switch on special lights that are designed for use at night. Red, Basking Spot Lamps are an example. Here red light is used to create a hot spot without the distractions white light would pose for night active creatures. The special fluorescent lamps designed to stimulate moon light are another example.

Many night active creatures need to see their prey and cannot hunt in complete darkness. Ordinary lights are, however, too bright and are avoided. The subdued light is just right to allow night active predators to spot their prey but not so bright that their natural photoperiod is confused. This means essential synchronisation involving the photoperiod are left intact, so the animal behaves and breeds normally.

The Moon Switch is another innovation from HabiStat helping the advancement of reptile keeping.

• Electronic, light activated switch for mains equipment
• Switches up to 600 watts off when the light levels fall and on again when they brighten.
• Used in sophisticated management of environmental heating and lighting

The range of items that can be switched is only limited by a maximum load of 600 watts and the imagination. Most uses will include switching those things that act like an artificial sun, that is heaters and lights. One of the major advantages of the Sun Switch is that natural day/night cycle is duplicated, including the seasonal variations of long day length summers and short day length winters.

The Sun Switch is the ideal unit to switch heaters and lights in sequence with the natural photoperiod. Because in nature the sun supplies both heat and light, it may be sensible to provide both from the Sun Switch. A simple multi-socket could be used as long as the total load does not exceed a maximum of 600 watts. In conjunction with a Sun Switch, the equivalent switching on of dark activated equipment can be achieved with a Moon Switch.

The difference between the on and off levels has been adjusted so that the unit does not flicker at the triggering point nor will it switch on and off due to minor variations in brightness. Essentially, the unit detects day and night and can therefore switch things on and off that are required during daylight and night time hours respectively. The range of items that can be switched is only limited by a maximum load of 600 watts and the imagination.

Most uses will include switching those things that act like an artificial sun, that is heaters and lights. One of the major advantages of the Sun & Moon Switch is that natural day/night cycle is duplicated, including the seasonal variations of long day length summers and short day length winters. The Sun & Moon Switch is the ideal unit to switch heaters and lights in sequence with the natural photoperiod.

Because in nature the sun supplies both heat and light, it may be sensible to provide both from the Sun Switch. A simple multi-socket could be used as long as the total load does not exceed a maximum of 600 watts. As the light fades, less powerful heaters and lights are needed. These allow night active but never the less, heat and vision dependent animals to function. The preference for alternative appliances can easily be accomplished with this sophisticated switching unit. Another HabiStat innovation advancing vivarium management and design.
