Acculux ThermoLux Heating Floor Mat 461265 データシート

                    

            

ThermoLux heating mats are made of
water-proof and rot-proof materials, are
absolutely watertight, and can be used
without any danger in freshwater. They
offer maximum safety due to the built-in,
full-surface protective conductor. Always
remove the plug from the power socket
before cleaning the mat or working on
the aquarium, to prevent danger of
electric shocks.
The mats are connected by means of the
plug direct to the 230V power supply, and
at an ambient temperature of 20 °C, and
without a cover, reach a maximum surface
temperature of approx. 42 °C.
The heating of the mat depends however
on the undersurface, the ambient
temperature and the amount of substrate to
be heated (sand, mulch, water etc.) and
can take from several hours to days.
When used without temperature limitation,
take care to avoid overheating of the
ThermoLux heating mat, since the mat can
reach a temperature of over 100 °C if
placed between dry substrates!

-  Please note the specific usage

instructions on the mat, the packaging
and the following pages!

- 

Ensure that the cable does not
become trapped or disconnected.

- 

Do not use the mat any longer if it or
the cable are damaged!

24 month warranty for defects:
We offer our customers a guarantee of 24
months. The guarantee does not however
apply in cases where damage due to
overheating, or injury due to electric shock,
is caused by improper use of the

equipment by the customer (failure to
observe the safety and usage instructions,
improper use, use for other purposes,
continued use of damaged mats).

The mat must not be placed in the
terrarium, since animals may crawl under
it, or it may be damaged by animals with
sharp claws.

The mat must not be placed between two
layers of insulating material (e.g.
styropor, wood shavings, other substrate
material). This could lead to a build-up of
heat, and damage to the terrarium or
heating mat (see General Instructions)!

The mat should be placed under the
terrarium so as not to cover the whole of
the terrarium area, so that the reptiles are
also left with cooler areas. In order to avoid
heat loss, the ThermoLux heating mat
should be placed on a sheet of styropor.

To avoid damaging the terrarium base by
thermal and mechanical stresses, do not
place the terrarium directly on the mat.
Spacers (e.g. wooden slats) should be laid
along the whole length of the terrarium
base between the mat and the terrarium
base, leaving an air gap of about 12 mm
between the mat and the terrarium. This
will ensure an even distribution of heat.
Check the temperature change at the
surface of the floor substrate using a
thermometer, and adjust the separating
distance to achieve the required
temperature. Ensure that the humidity is
sufficient to prevent the animals suffering
from desiccation.

Place the mat on a windowsill or direct in a
hydro-culture vessel or seeding tray. Water
regularly in order to avoid a build-up of heat
and the drying-out of the substrate (earth,
hydro-culture). The temperature of the soil

depends on the volume of the vessel/tray
and the surrounding temperature.
The  ThermoLux Temperature Regulator
can be used for controlling the temperature.
The temperature will then automatically be
maintained within the required range. The
temperature regulation is only sufficiently
accurate within the damp substrate.
Use as supplementary heating for an
aquarium

As supplementary heating for an aquarium,
the ThermoLux heating mat ensures even
heating of the aquarium floor material and
water circulation, thereby aiding healthy
plant growth.

For saltwater aquaria, the heating mat may
only be used as an underlay, and must
not be placed inside the tank!

Always remove the plug from the power
socket before working on the aquarium!

Immersion depth max. 80 cm. Do not use
the mat in the dry condition, but only after
filling the tank with water. This could
otherwise create a build-up of heat which
can damage the mat and the aquarium.
The following formula should be used as a
rule-of-thumb to determine the performance
requirement for the size of aquarium in
question: 1 Watt per litre of water.

When using the mat as an aquarium
underlay, please ensure that the aquarium
is placed evenly on the mat over the whole
base area, and without any air gap, in order
to avoid stress to the glass and uneven
weight distribution.
This arrangement should be used only for
saltwater aquaria, since the mat works
more efficiently when used inside the
aquarium.
The  ThermoLux Temperature Regulator
can be used for controlling the temperature.

Only for use with damp materials (earth,
gravel, sand etc.) and water.
Control range 18 - 36 °C (tolerance: damp
substrate 

± 3 °C, water: ± 0.3 °C), power

supply/consumption 230V~ 400 W.
In combination with a plug rail, several
ThermoLux mats with a consumption of up
to 400 W can be controlled by one
temperature regulator.

Please note the instructions on the
packaging!
