6. הוראות התקנה
- Placement of Temperature Probe:
Carefully place the temperature probe in the area where you want to control the temperature. Ensure it is not directly touching the heating element or submerged in water unless specifically designed for such use. The probe detects if the current temperature reaches the set target.

Image: A temperature probe is shown placed within a reptile enclosure, illustrating proper positioning for accurate temperature detection.
- הפעלה:
Plug the thermostat into a standard 120VAC, 60Hz power outlet. Press the OK לחצן כדי להפעיל את המכשיר.

Image: A finger pressing the 'OK' button on the thermostat to power it on.
- הגדר זמן נוכחי:
הקש על מַעֲרֶכֶת button. The time display will flash. Use the - ו + לחצו על הכפתורים כדי לכוונן את השעה והדקה. OK כדי לאשר כל הגדרה.

7. הוראות הפעלה
- Setting Target Temperature (SV):
With the device on, press the מַעֲרֶכֶת button once. The set temperature (SV) will flash. Use the - ו + buttons to adjust the desired temperature. Press OK to confirm the setting. The thermostat will now work to maintain this temperature.

Image: A finger pressing the '+' button to increase the set temperature on the thermostat display.
- יחידות טמפרטורה להחלפה (°F/°C):
כדי לעבור בין פרנהייט לצלזיוס, לחץ והחזק את המקש מַעֲרֶכֶת button for approximately 3 seconds until the unit flashes. Use the - or + button to select your preferred unit, then press OK כדי לאשר.
- הבנת התצוגה:
The display shows the current temperature (PV), the set temperature (SV), and the output power percentage. The power meter bars indicate the current power output to the heating device. As the ambient temperature approaches the set temperature, the output power will gradually decrease (dimming) to maintain stability.

- פונקציית טיימר (אם רלוונטי):
The thermostat supports a timer function for a set duration. To activate, press the OK button to turn on the device. Press מַעֲרֶכֶת to enter the time setting mode. Adjust the hours using the - ו + כפתורים. ללחוץ OK to confirm. The device will maintain the set temperature for the specified duration. Note: The device does not have an internal clock for setting a specific start time; the timer begins when activated.

Image: The thermostat display showing a timer set for 12 hours and a target temperature of 104°F, indicating the device will maintain this temperature for the set duration.
8. תחזוקה
- ניקוי: Disconnect the thermostat from power before cleaning. Wipe the unit with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit in water.
- טיפול בבדיקה: Keep the temperature probe clean and free from debris. Avoid bending or damaging the probe cable.

9. פתרון תקלות
| בְּעָיָה | סיבה אפשרית | פִּתָרוֹן |
|---|---|---|
| תרמוסטט לא נדלק. | אין חשמל, חיבור רופף. | Check power outlet and ensure the thermostat is securely plugged in. Press the OK button to power on. |
| Temperature not reaching set target or fluctuating significantly. | Heating element too weak/strong, probe improperly placed, incompatible heating device. | Ensure heating element wattage is appropriate for the enclosure size. Reposition the probe away from direct heat or cold spots. Verify heating device compatibility (not for T5, fluorescent, LED, or sun lampס). |
| Display shows incomplete information (e.g., only '9' instead of '90'). | תקלה בתצוגה. | Unplug the device, wait 30 seconds, and plug it back in. If the issue persists, contact customer support. |
| Heating element is always on/off, not dimming. | Incompatible heating element, thermostat malfunction. | Ensure the connected heating element is dimmable. Some heating elements are only on/off. If using a dimmable element and the issue persists, contact customer support. |
