A magnet-mounted probe watches the water, and if the temperature leaves a fixed window of 22.2 to 28.8 °C the unit disconnects its outlet and alarms. It is rated to 10 A, needs no programming, and has an automatic delay so a brief interruption does not trip it. The window is not adjustable, and that single fact decides whether it suits your tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat it does, and what it does not do\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a safety device, not a temperature controller.

When the water leaves the safe window, it removes power from whatever is plugged into it and sounds an alarm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour heater keeps its own thermostat and still does the controlling.
