2. Безбедносне информације

Please read all safety instructions before operating the device to prevent injury or damage.

• Уверите се да је напајање волtage matches the device's requirements (100-120V, 50Hz).
• Немојте прекорачити максималну снагуtagе од 160В по утичници.
• Thermostat Socket Warning: Do NOT use full-spectrum sun lamps, UVB bulbs, LED lights, or energy-saving bulbs in the thermostat socket. This socket is designed for heat-emitting bulbs only (e.g., ceramic heat emitters, infrared lamps, basking spot bulbs).
• Keep the device and power cords away from water and excessive moisture.
• Always unplug the device from the power outlet before performing any maintenance, cleaning, or bulb replacement.
• The high-temperature warning label on the lamp will turn red if the surface temperature exceeds 113°F (45°C). This indicates high heat and can also confirm bulb functionality.
• Осигурајте одговарајућу вентилацију око уређаја како бисте спречили прегревање.

4. Карактеристике производа

The REPTITRIP Dual Reptile Light Fixture offers advanced control for your terrarium environment:

• Dual Socket Control: Manages two lamp sockets independently for diverse environmental needs.
• PID Dimming Thermostat: One socket provides precise temperature regulation (50-140°F) by adjusting bulb brightness, ensuring stable heat without large fluctuations.
• Програмабилни тајмер: The second socket features a timed on/off function with a selectable duration of 1-24 hours, ideal for simulating natural day/night cycles.
• ЛЦД екран: A clear screen shows set temperature, current probe temperature, output power, and timer duration for easy monitoring.
• Enhanced Reflection: The polished interior surface of the fixture optimizes light and UVB reflection, improving bulb efficiency.
• Ефикасно одвођење топлоте: Multiple ventilation holes prevent bulb damage from overheating, extending bulb lifespan.

5. Подешавање

Follow these steps to set up your REPTITRIP Dual Reptile Light Fixture:

1. Саставите уређај: Place the fixture securely on top of your terrarium mesh lid or suspend it using appropriate hanging accessories (not included).
2. Убаците сијалице: Screw the desired bulbs into each socket. Ensure bulbs are compatible with the respective socket's function (refer to Section 4).
3. Повежите контролер: Ensure the controller is securely connected to the fixture.
4. Position Temperature Probe: Place the temperature probe inside the terrarium where you need to monitor and maintain the temperature. For accurate readings, position it directly under the heat source but out of direct contact with the bulb or animal.
5. Прикључак: Прикључите утикач у одговарајућу електричну утичницу.

6. Упутство за употребу

6.1. Thermostat Socket Operation

The thermostat socket regulates temperature using PID dimming control. It is suitable for ceramic heat emitters, infrared lamps, and basking spot bulbs (max 160W).

Image 6.1.1: Compatible bulb types for the thermostat socket.

1. Подесите циљну температуру: Press the 'TEMP' button on the controller. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to adjust the desired temperature between 50-140°F. The display will show the set temperature.
2. Монитор: The controller will automatically adjust the power output to the bulb to maintain the set temperature, displaying the current probe temperature and output power percentage.
3. Важна напомена: If the target temperature is not reached, consider using a higher wattage bulb (up to 160W). Ensure the temperature probe is correctly placed.

6.2. Timer Socket Operation

The timer socket provides timed on/off functionality for lighting or heating elements. It is compatible with a wider range of bulbs including full-spectrum sun lamps, UVB bulbs, LED lights, and energy-saving bulbs (max 160W).

Image 6.2.1: Compatible bulb types for the timer socket.

1. Set Timer Duration: Press the 'U/TIME' button on the controller. Use the '+' and '-' buttons to select the desired operating duration (1-24 hours). The cycle starts immediately after configuration.
2. Ресетовање тајмера: If the timer loses power and is re-energized, the on/off time points will reset based on the re-powering time as the new starting point. Reconfigure the timer if this occurs.

6.3. Setting Example

Слика 6.3.1: Примерample settings for a terrarium environment.

Фор екample, to set a sun lamp for 8 hours daily and a ceramic heat emitter to maintain 85°F:

• Timer Socket (Sun Lamp): Set the timer to '8H'. The sun lamp will turn on for 8 hours from the moment the timer is set.
• Thermostat Socket (Ceramic Heat Emitter): Set the target temperature to '85°F'. The ceramic heat emitter will adjust its output to maintain this temperature continuously.
