Calypso X Controller – thermostat and hygrostat

The Calypso X Controller is a two-channel controller for keepers who need temperature and humidity held at set values in an enclosure without manual adjustment. One channel works as a thermostat and the other as a hygrostat, and each is programmed separately. It is intended for terrariums, aquariums and similar enclosures.

Why it matters

• Heating and cooling: the thermostat channel can raise or lower temperature, depending on which external device is connected, with a different target for day and for night.
• Humidity control: the hygrostat channel can increase or decrease humidity, programmable from 40% to 100% with a resolution of 0.1%, also with separate day and night values.
• Remote sensor and display: the probe sits on a 150 cm cable and the LCD display is mounted separately, with mounting tapes included, so the unit can be read without opening the enclosure cabinet.
• Alarm: if connected equipment fails to heat the enclosure, for example after a heating bulb burns out, an intermittent audible signal sounds. The alarm threshold is set by the user.

What it works with

The controller is designed to drive external devices such as heating cables, heating bulbs, heaters and humidifiers or dehumidifying equipment through its 230 V outlets, with a total connected load of up to 1200 W. Because the outputs are switched by the controller, the connected equipment must be suited to the enclosure size and the required temperature and humidity change.
