excellent... I've just got a few of these, was about to send them back!

you'd have thought something as fundamental as how to work it would be on the box!

also to help you the left hand dial is used to set the day time temp so increase or decrease the temp as you need to

then to get the night time temp you turn the right hand dial until you get the required night temp drop( red light needs to be glowing )

the red light that you can see on the unit will be glowing when the night time temp drop facility is working

when the red light is glowing you start turning the right dial until you get the night time temp drop that you want.

us a thermometer until you get the correct temp drop in the area of the viv that you need the temp drop

you may need to adjust the magic eye to the level of darkness you want it to come on at to do this,

there should be a little knob near where the cables enter the unit

you just turn the little knob left or right to set the magic eye for a certain time of day (for example early evening )

when you have set the light level for the magic eye.

the red light should be alight which indicates that the temp drop facility has started working hope that helps you

also look at the unit you should see a sun and moon symbol these correspond to the dials

left dial = sun (meaning day time temp)
right dial = moon (meaning night temp drop)
