Use the provided double-sided adhesive pads to securely attach the control unit to a clean, dry surface. Ensure it is placed in a location where the display is easily visible and buttons are accessible.
Place the waterproof temperature probe in the environment where temperature needs to be controlled (e.g., terrarium, incubator). Ensure the probe is not directly exposed to heating elements or direct light sources that could affect its readings. The probe can be submerged in water if required.
Plug the main power cord of the KETOTEK KT5000 into a suitable 220VAC power outlet.

The KETOTEK KT5000 features a user-friendly interface for setting temperature and timing parameters.
The device allows for different temperature settings during day and night cycles over a 24-hour period. This is achieved through its dual-cycle time function.
The second output socket is controlled by a timer function. This allows you to schedule when an attached device turns on and off.

| Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
|---|---|---|
| Device does not power on. | No power from outlet; loose connection. | Check power outlet with another device; ensure power cord is securely plugged in. |
| Heating device not working. | Incorrect temperature setting; heating device malfunction; exceeding max power. | Verify target temperature is above current temperature; test heating device separately; ensure total wattage is within 440W. |
| Timed device not working. | Incorrect timer setting; device malfunction; exceeding max power. | Check timer ON/OFF settings; test device separately; ensure total wattage is within limits (1100W resistive, 275W inductive, 220W incandescent). |
| Inaccurate temperature reading. | Probe improperly placed; probe fault; calibration needed. | Relocate probe away from direct heat/light; check for probe damage; use temperature calibration function. |
| Display shows an error code. | Specific error condition (e.g., probe fault). | Refer to the full manual for specific error codes. Generally, check probe connection or replace if damaged. |
