BEST RADIANT HEAT PANELS FOR REPTILES INSTALL

Should the panels internal temperature exceed safe levels encountered in normal operation it will automatically shut down. The Reptile Basics RHP now incorporates a self resetting thermal fuse, something our competitors do not.

It is the material used to manufacture a lot of circuit breakers that you can find in your electric panel. Noryl is also very flame retardant and very strong at high temperatures. You can clean your panel with just about any cleaning solution on a damp rag so it can be disinfected safely. It is also quite easily cleaned and sterilized, something that some other panels don't handle so well in our experience. The seamless lower section of the panel makes it VERY water resistant (PLEASE do not submerge it!!!) and the mounting method is designed in such a way to prevent your animals from climbing on the panel or tearing it down. The advantages of the Noryl construction are many- we have now designed a panel that is specifically for reptile use. After this initial burn in period you are all set! This odor is often gone just from exposure to air before you receive your new panel but it may be necessary to 'burn in' the panel for 6-24 hours. The odor that some new panels will have is actually from the injection molding process. Noryl, the plastic used for the shell of the panel, is essentially odorless. Basically think of it as a 'new car smell'. Outgassing is a term that basically describes the gasses that new plastic may give off. What about 'outgassing', I hear that can be a problem? Installation of the RHP is quite simple and will only require a philips screwdriver and about 5 minutes. We ship them without the plug installed so you can easily route the power cord through a small hole in your cage.

You will also need to install your thermostat probe under the panel to properly regulate your basking temps. They will need to be installed on the top of the cage (inside the cage) using the three stainless steel screws provided or other hardware you supply if the screws are not appropriate for your cage setup. These will provide you with the most stable temperatures.Įssentially yes. Please, use a thermostat to properly maintain ideal temperatures for your animals at all times! You will get the best results from a proportional stat such as the VE-200 or VE-300. Radiant Heat Panels (RHP's) are designed to be used with a thermostat.

Vivarium Electronics DO require a thermostat, but I am of the opinion all sources of heat should be regulated with one. Compare the ceramic heat emitters (CHE) with a surface temp above 300F. Warm to the touch, but not likely to start a fire if in contact with cage furniture or bedding and okay to place your hand on. VE surface temp runs about the same as SH surface temp about 175 to 200F. These Radiant Heat Panels run at a cooler surface temp then the Sweeter Heater (SH) RHPs.
