HabiStat Pro Mat Stat with LCD Display + 28 watt Heat Mat Bundle

HabiStat Pro Mat Stat Thermostat – Black

The HabiStat Classic Pro Mat Thermostat is a reliable, easy-to-use on/off thermostat, designed specifically for use with heat mats and other low-powered heaters, like heat cable. It maintains temperature by switching the heater on at full power until the target temperature is reached, then switching it off until heat is required again.

With a maximum load of 450 watts, it’s more than able to control temperatures in smaller or bigger enclosures. Simple, dependable, and trusted by keepers for decades, this model continues to be one of our best-sellers.

Please note: the Classic Pro Mat Thermostat is not suitable for use with light-emitting heat sources. The constant on/off switching would cause visual flickering and shorten the lifespan of both lamps and the thermostat itself. For those setups, we recommend the HabiStat Classic Pro Dimming Thermostat.

The temperature measured at the sensor probe is clearly indicated on the LCD screen.

A heat indicator light shows when your thermostat is calling for heat and if the set temperature is exceeded by 3°C then ‘HHH’ will flash on the LCD display and the alarm will sound.

To set / change the temperature simply press or press and hold either the Up or Down indicator and easily increase/decrease your desired set temperature in increments of 0.1°C

The removable temperature sensor probe is waterproof and chemically resistant. Note, when the sensor probe is detached ‘EEE’ will flash on the LCD display and the alarm will sound.  The probe has a suction cup to enable you to secure it to a smooth surface if required.

If you want to permanently fix the thermostat there is a choice of the locating tabs at both the top and bottom of unit or you can use double double sided tape to surface mount it.

Equipped with a super quick acting external fuse to ensure safety for your animals and equipment in the event of equipment failure. Only use ultra-rapid quick blow type FF3.15 amp for this thermostat.  The maximum heating device load of 450 watts should not be exceeded.

This thermostat comes with a 12 month manufacturers guarantee.

Habistat reptile heat mats produce ultra long wavelength infra red heat and are a proven, tried and tested technology for providing heat to reptiles in many different applications.

Habistat heat mats are a carbon impregnated cloth and are made in the UK.

The infra red wavelength is invisible to the human eye and heats objects in the vivarium rather than the air.

The action of heating is very similar to the sun and it has the ability to heat anything that it strikes, including animals, but with the surrounding air temperature being much lower.

Reptiles absorb this heat in a manner very similar to basking in a natural environment.  Heat mats are commonly used to provide heat for many species of snake, lizards and invertebrates.

Heat mats provide a warmth which the animals can sit under or on top of.

Heat mats should always be controlled by a thermostats.

All heaters can be potentially hazardous if misused or incorrect installed.  Do not take any risks with the lives of your animals.  Install heat mats safely and in conjunction with a quality thermostat.

Never expose your animals to any risk of over heating.  Once installed, heating and temperature should be tested for a minimum of 48 hours prior to the introduction of any animals.  Do not risk any animals safety!  If you are in any doubt, consult a professional / qualified electrician.
