Posted by: KelliH at Wed Jan 7 12:44:36 2004 [ Email Message ] [ Show All Posts by KelliH ] Although thermometers come in handy too, to show you the temps in the enclosure. A thermostat, like the ones on the page I linked for you is what you need. You plug the thermostat into a wall outlet, and plug your heating pad into the thermostat. There is a probe attached to the thermostat that you place on top of the substrate over your "hot spot". There is a dial on the thermostat that you can adjust from 60 to 110 degrees or something like that. Set it at 88-90 degrees. The thermostat will automatically turn the heating pad off when it gets to 90, and turn it back on when it gets below 89. A rheostat is similar but not as good because it is similar to a dimmer switch, like Starling was talking about in her post. Thermostats are much easier to use and MUCH more accurate. Do you understand now? | ||
