14w heated mat, 15x28cm

Description

The 14W heating mat is the easiest way to heat your large artificial ant farm. The heating mat alone is enough to raise the temperature inside the nest to over 28°C. The surface of the mat typically exceeds 40°C, so it's advisable to monitor the temperature with a thermometer and move the mat away if necessary.

Technology :

– Ultra-thin and flexible mat,

– Infrared emitting technology using carbon fibers,

– Durable product that meets CE and RoHS standards (European directive against certain hazardous products),

– Lifespan of 30,000 hours and more!

Instructions for using the heated mat:

– Place the heating mat over half of the damp area. To block excess heat, it is essential to place about ten sheets of aluminum foil between the heating mat and the ant nest, or use a wedge to allow the heat to escape.

– We recommend monitoring the temperature with our electronic thermometer, or controlling it to the nearest degree using a thermostat.

– Adjust the temperature by managing the distance between the heating mat and the ant farm using shims or by removing or adding insulation.

-If the ants seek shelter away from the heated area, it means the temperature is too high. Add insulation or a spacer. If the ants are going directly under the heating mat, remove a sheet of aluminum foil to check if the optimal temperature is even higher.

Caution: Keep away from flammable materials. Avoid leaving unattended. Do not obstruct heat dissipation and place directly under a terrarium (or use a heat-dissipating mat). Do not puncture, expose to moisture, bend, or cut the mat.
