Carbonne – electronic thermostat

This electronic thermostat suits keepers who need a fixed temperature band in an aquarium or terrarium, whether the equipment heats or cools. You set a lower and an upper limit, and the unit switches the connected device on and off to keep the water or enclosure within that range, which removes the need to adjust heaters or fans by hand.

Why it matters

• Hysteresis control: the thermostat switches a heating device on when the temperature drops below the lower limit and keeps it running until the upper limit is reached, so the temperature stays between the two values you program.
• Reversible operation: the same unit can drive a heater or a cooling device such as a fan, depending on what the enclosure requires.
• Waterproof sensor probe with a 100 cm cable, so it can be placed in the water while the control unit stays outside the tank.
• LCD display that shows the set temperature while programming and the current reading during normal operation.

What it works with

The thermostat is intended for aquarium use, where it can control aquarium heaters, chillers and fans, and for terrarium use, where it can control bulbs, heat emitters, radiant heaters, heating cables, heating mats and heating stones. Several devices can run from one thermostat through a power strip or splitter, provided their combined power stays within 1500 W.
