Product description
With this thermostat between a heating cable and the socket, it switches on automatically when the measured temperature is lower than the set value. In general, a switch-on temperature of +3...+5 °C is required to protect pipes against freezing. (At higher temperatures, the heating tape will therefore not consume any power) The display of the socket thermostat shows the temperature you have set yourself. As soon as it gets colder in the room, mains voltage will be applied to the output. The plugged-in heating tape or heating wire is then activated and starts heating. At that moment, the current (measured) temperature appears on the screen.
You can only use this socket thermostat if the heating cable (or another form of electric heating) is in a dry room. For example, useful for keeping the water pipes in the garage frost-free, with a minimum of power consumption without the risk of forgetting to plug it in on time. Other applications: switching on additional heating, such as a radiant heater, in a caravan, boat or other unheated room. Tip: the operation is very simple and by experimenting with a table lamp you will quickly understand how it works! Please note: this thermostat is not suitable for a damp room, such as a stable. Choose a
Frost switch for this.
