Product details
Description
The Inkbird ITC-308S is a professional-grade, dual-stage temperature controller engineered to provide precise thermal management for diverse aquatic environments. Whether you maintain a delicate freshwater planted tank, a complex saltwater coral reef, or a habitat for sensitive ornamental shrimp, this device ensures your ecosystem remains within safe parameters.
By simultaneously managing both a heater and a cooling device—such as a chiller or specialized fan—it effectively eliminates dangerous temperature fluctuations that can stress or harm your livestock. The controller features a fully submersible, corrosion-resistant NTC probe designed for long-term use in aqueous conditions.
Its plug-and-play architecture allows for effortless installation, while the high-visibility dual LCD screens display both the current real-time temperature and your desired set point in either Celsius or Fahrenheit. A critical safety feature is the built-in alarm system, which provides instant alerts for high or low-temperature deviations and potential sensor failures.
This fail-safe mechanism helps protect your investment by preventing issues common with standard heaters that may malfunction in an always-on state, making it an essential tool for serious aquarists looking to maintain a stable, thriving environment.
How to use
- Plug your heating device into the heating socket and your cooling device into the cooling socket.
- Place the temperature probe in the water, ensuring it is fully submerged in a location with good water flow.
- Use the front display to set your target temperature and the differential value.
- The device will automatically turn your heater or cooler on or off as needed to maintain the set temperature range.
