Phoenix X Controller – thermostat and programmer

Phoenix X Controller is a thermostat and timer for keepers who need to control heating or cooling and switch lamps on a schedule from one device. It suits terrariums, aquariums and similar enclosures, where the temperature must follow a day and night cycle without manual adjustment.

Why it matters

• Two independent channels: each channel is programmed separately, and one of them is combined with a microprocessor thermostat that regulates a 230 V output.
• Separate day and night setpoints: the thermostat holds one temperature during the day and another during the night, and it can either raise or lower the temperature through connected devices.
• Timer with 1-minute precision: connected equipment switches on and off at times set by the user, within a 0–24 h range.
• Temperature alarm: if the heating device fails, for example when a bulb burns out, an intermittent sound signal is triggered. The user sets the threshold at which the alarm activates.

What it works with

The controller is intended for heated enclosures in which a heat source such as a heat mat, cable or lamp is plugged into the 230 V outlets. The LCD display is mounted separately, with mounting tapes included, so it can be placed on the enclosure while the sockets are kept out of sight. Pairing the thermostat channel with a UVB lamp on the timer channel allows the daylight and temperature cycle to be set in one unit.
