Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the power consumption of the heated base?

The heated base uses a 50-watt fibre element.

What is the adjustable temperature range?

You can set the temperature anywhere between 5°C and 30°C.

How accurate is the temperature control?

The control unit is capable of monitoring and regulating the temperature to within 1 degree Celsius.

Can I use this propagator in a cold garage?

It is not recommended to operate the unit in ambient temperatures below 5°C, as performance may be compromised and it may struggle to maintain the set temperature.

What are the dimensions of the propagator?

The external dimensions are approximately L 59cm, W 41cm, H 26.5cm (this includes the XL high dome).

How is the temperature measured?

A highly accurate probe sensor on a 2-meter lead measures the temperature. It is recommended to place this probe within your growing medium for the most accurate reading.

Is the dome removable?

Yes, the XL high dome is designed to be removable for access and cleaning.

Troubleshooting

Propagator not heating

Check that the power cord is securely plugged into the unit and the wall socket. Ensure the temperature is set above the current ambient temperature and that the unit is operating within the recommended temperature range (above 5°C).

Temperature reading seems inaccurate

Ensure the probe sensor is clean and properly positioned within the growing medium or on the base. Verify that the probe lead is not damaged. Recalibrate by unplugging and plugging back in.

Condensation obscuring the digital display

Wipe the display gently with a dry cloth. Ensure the dome is not excessively steamy by briefly lifting it to allow some air circulation.

Unit cycles on and off frequently

This is normal operation to maintain the set temperature. If it seems excessive, check for drafts or significant temperature fluctuations in the room. Ensure the probe is accurately placed in the warmest part of the growing medium.
