It ships with two probes, which the directions say to place in the tank apart from each other, and two relays let it switch the plugged heater off when overheating is detected. The setpoint can be dialled anywhere from 20.0 to 35.0 °C (68.0 to 95.0 °F).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e306A\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBlue and White and Black\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eStyle\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eModern\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePlastic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDimensions (L x W x H)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19.1 x 10.4 x 9.1 cm (7.5 x 4.1 x 3.6 in)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e472 g (1.04 lb)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eIncluded components\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003etemperature controller\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\u003ch2\u003ePower, relays and heating time\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe controller is rated at 1100 W and carries two relays.

The unit is rated at 1100 W and requires no assembly: it is plug and play, so the heater goes into the controller and the controller into the mains.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTemperature controller\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo probes\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch2\u003eHow the controller behaves in use\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo probes sit in the tank, spaced apart as the directions specify, and the controller compares the readings. Should the gap between the two exceed 3 °C (5 °F), an alarm goes off and the app sends a notification to the phone at the same time. Overheating triggers a different response: the plugged heater is turned off. The setpoint range runs from 20.0 to 35.0 °C (68.0 to 95.0 °F), while the probes themselves can register from −40 to 100 °C (−40 to 212 °F).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eChecks before you buy\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe thermostat is made for heaters only, and the manufacturer lists it as compatible with most kinds of heaters; check that your heater's wattage stays within the 1100 W rating. Two probes have to be placed in the tank at a distance from each other, which means the tank needs room for both. The alarm for a probe difference is fixed at 3 °C (5 °F), so readings that drift further apart than that will sound it. A setpoint can be entered only between 20.0 and 35.0 °C (68.0 to 95.0 °F).\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eQuestions buyers ask about the ITC-306A\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow many probes come with the thermostat?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo probes are included, and the directions are to place them in the tank at a distance from each other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat happens if the two probes read differently?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOnce the difference between them passes 3 °C (5 °F), the controller alarms, and the app pushes a notification to your phone at the same time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat wattage of heater can it run?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe controller is rated at 1100 W and has two relays, and the manufacturer says it is compatible with most kinds of heaters.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhat temperature can I set?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe setting range is 20.0 to 35.0 °C, which is 68.0 to 95.0 °F.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow long can the heating time be?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHeating time can be set anywhere from 1 to 72 hours, and an alarm sounds if the set time ends before the expected temperature is reached.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Inkbird","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44478682529855,"sku":null,"price":82.07,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0678\/2409\/1199\/files\/inkbird-aquarium-thermostat.jpg?v=1794743798","url":"https:\/\/dogjointly.com\/products\/inkbird-itc-306a-wifi-aquarium-thermostat","provider":"DogJointly","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
