Position the ministat sensor in the vivarium approximately 225mm (9 inches) away from the heat source. This is to ensure the sensor is measuring air temperature and not direct heat.
Always use a thermometer to check the temperature of the vivarium and adjust the ministat as required to give the required temperature.
A small flat blade screwdriver can be used to adjust the temperature control of the ministat.
The ministat has a power indication led. When the led is lit power is being supplied to the heater.
