Ag Pad InstallationInstallation Instructions
To operate the element with the thermostat.
Place the element on a table or bench preferably on a heat insulated surface. (i.e. a 25mm polystyrene board).
It is recommended that 2 layers of plastic is placed over the element to protect it from sand or grit.
Fasten thermostat to wall or fixture so it is eleveated above the element.
Plug in the thermostat and set to desired temperature.
The copper probe senses the temperature and sends the message to the thermostat. it is important that the probe is placed in the soil or liquid and not on the element as it is the soil or liquid temeperature that needs to be read. The element needs to get hotter than the soil or liquid to set the temperature.
It does not matter which side of the element faces up or down.
If the element gets damaged it should be sent back to the manufacturer for inspection.
Manufacturer recommends Manufacturers recommend that a layer of heavy plastic is placed over the Ag Pad while in use to prevent wear and tear on the plastic cover. If the Ag Pad is to be used in a damp environment a residual current device (RCD) should be used.
