Please note that we no longer supply controllers. Various controllers are available in the marketplace that are priced better than we can supply them for. 


 

The Germinator should be placed on a good supporting surface. In the illustration, 2” x 6” planking is being used, then 2” Styrofoam. This is an excellent base. The Styrofoam is not necessary. The planking is quite sufficient.

The units are normally a plug-in unit at 120 volts, 130 watts. Various controllers are available in the industry. The unit shown is called a Heat Mat Thermostat. It is good for 1000 watts or eight (8) Germinator heat mats. They are available on the internet.

Note: The sensor MUST be taped to the top of the Germinator. The warranty is null and void if the sensor is placed in the soil or placed elsewhere. The placing of the sensor is very important.
