IMPORTANT -‐ TO ENSURE CORRECT OPERATION OF YOUR HEAT MAT PLEASE
READ THE GUIDE BEFORE COMMENCING INSTALLATION
• DO NOT CUT, BURN OR PIERCE THE HEAT MAT
• DO NOT SUBMERSE IN WATER – HEAT MAT IS SPLASH PROOF ONLY
• DO NOT BURY UNDER A THICK LAYER OF SUBSTRATE
This heatmat can be used to in many different applications where a
gentle heat is required and is ideal for heating your pet’s vivarium.
Heating your pet’s environment should be designed to allow a warm
and cool area within the vivarium this allows for a natural habitat to
be obtained for your pet. We recommend the heat mat to be no
larger than half the floor space of the vivarium.
Microclimate heat mats are designed to run continuously and if
installed following our instructions will run for many years.
Microclimate heat mats can be plugged directly into a mains socket
but we strongly recommend the use of a thermostat to control the
temperature within the vivarium. In an average room the
temperature can vary considerably this in turn affects the
temperature within the vivarium without a thermostat to control the
temperature your pet may not have the correct environment for its
well-‐being. Heat mats are compatible with all types of thermostat i.e.
on/off, dimmers and pulse proportional. For more information on
Microclimate thermostats please visit www.microclimate.co.uk or
visit your local Microclimate dealer.

Installation of Heat Mat below Vivarium
Alternative fixing locations
To install the heat mat underneath the vivarium please note that at
least 5mm air gap should be allowed between the heat mat and the
underside of the vivarium. This can be achieved by supporting the
vivarium on the 2 longest sides with strips of wood or rubber feet from
your local hardware store. This will allow the other 2 sides to be clear to
allow for adequate ventilation.
Rear wall mounting
For optimum heat output into the vivarium the heat mat may be
mounted to the wall of the vivarium. The heat mat can be secured to
the wall using double-‐sided tape.
Floor mounting
Below the mat we recommend a 12mm thick fire retardant polystyrene
sheet for insulation.
If the Vivarium is to be placed on the floor i.e. carpet then a suitable
plinth (Wood) at least 12mm thick should be placed between the
polystyrene and the floor.
We recommend that the thickness of any substrate layer is kept to a
minimum.

If the heat mat is to be installed inside the vivarium on the floor, the
following recommendations should be followed. Please note that
this mounting option is not recommended and under vivarium and
rear wall mounting options allow better performance of the heat
mat.
The mat should be secured to the floor using double-‐sided tape.
The mains cable should be kept as short as possible within the tank.
The mains connection to the mat should be kept as far away from
water as possible. The mat is splash proof only.
A thermostat MUST be used to provide temperature control of the
heat mat in case of temperature build up beneath the substrate
caused by the substrate acting as an insulator. It is recommended
that the sensor be placed directly on the mat underneath the
substrate.
ANY SUBSTRATE PLACED OVER THE MAT SHOULD BE KEPT TO A
MAXIMUM DEPTH OF 5mm.
Do not place anything such as a hide or water dish on the substrate
directly above the heatmat.
If you are in any doubt over the correct installation of this product
please contact your retailer or Microclimate direct we are always
