The HOBBY Biotherm eco is a programmable temperature controller designed for use in enclosed rooms, specifically for aquariums and terrariums. It allows for precise temperature regulation and offers various programmable functions to create optimal environmental conditions for aquatic and reptilian life.
The core function of the Biotherm eco is to monitor and control the temperature of an external heating or cooling device connected to its integrated slot. It operates with a high degree of precision, regulating temperature within a range of 10 °C to 60 °C with an accuracy of 0.1 °C.
Key features include:
The Biotherm eco offers both "Single mode" and "Toggle mode" for display. In Single mode (factory preset), either the temperature or the current time is displayed continuously. In Toggle mode, temperature and time are displayed alternately every 2 seconds. Users can switch between these modes by pressing the "down" button.
Programming is initiated by pressing the "MENU" button. Navigation through menu items is done using the "up" and "down" buttons. To modify a value, the "MENU" button is pressed, causing the value to flash. The "up" and "down" buttons are then used to adjust the value, and "MENU" is pressed again to acknowledge.
Exiting programming mode happens automatically after 90 seconds of inactivity or by holding the "MENU" button for 3 seconds, saving all changes. Programming can be canceled at any time without saving by simultaneously pressing the "up" and "down" buttons.
Manual activation/deactivation of the slot is possible by holding the "up" button and then pressing "MENU." Pressing these buttons a second time deactivates the slot, and a third press reactivates program mode.
In case of malfunction, a reset function is available. This involves unplugging the device, plugging it back in while holding the "MENU" button, and then releasing "MENU." It's important to note that a reset will erase all programmed settings except for the clock, reverting the device to factory presets.
The manual also provides a "Source of Fault" table, indicating that an "E01" display signifies a sensor fault or short circuit, requiring repair. For warranty or repair issues, the device should be returned to the place of purchase.
The device is designed for indoor use only, and contact with water should be avoided. It should not be modified, and covers or housings should not be opened. If damage is detected, the product should not be used and should be immediately disconnected from the mains. The temperature sensor should be positioned away from heat sources to ensure accurate readings.
