Product Description

DTC-120 PID Dimming Thermostat for Aquariums

Keywords: aquarium temperature controller, reptile thermostat with timer, PID aquarium thermostat, day night thermostat, terrarium heating controller

The DTC-120 combines PID-based heating control with a real-time clock and two programmable timer periods. Set separate daytime and nighttime temperatures while scheduling connected equipment, such as aquarium or terrarium lighting, through the timer-controlled outlet. An LCD shows settings and measured temperature; audible and visual alarms alert users to temperature deviations and sensor faults.
