TC‑220 Thermostat with programmer

The Ringder TC-220 is a thermostat with a timer for reptile and amphibian keepers who want to control heating and lighting on a schedule. It regulates temperature with a probe placed inside the enclosure and can be mounted in an aquarium cover or directly in a terrarium.

Why it matters

• The first channel works with a temperature sensor and sets separate day and night temperatures with their own time periods, for example 28°C from 9:00 to 19:00 and 22°C from 19:00 to 9:00.
• The second channel works as a plain timer, so it can switch a UVB lamp on and off within a set time window.
• A backlit LCD display shows the settings and readings, and the programmed values are kept when the power supply is interrupted.
• A cooling mode reverses the thermostat action, so a device such as a fan or fogger switches on when the temperature exceeds the set value.

What it works with

The TC-220 suits terrariums and aquarium covers where heating elements such as lamps, mats or cables are controlled by temperature, while UVB lighting runs on a fixed schedule. Its 1200 W load limit covers typical heating and lighting equipment, and the separate day and night programs match the usual daily temperature cycle in a reptile enclosure. Its cooling mode can also be used with fans or fogging devices.
