How to Use and Program a Zoo Med Environmental Control Center - A Game Changer for Reptile Tanks! 🦎 

We're so glad you found this helpful! It means we did our job.

We're glad you like it!!

Check the Control Center and make sure the flame icons are turning on to show that they're receiving power. Assuming you do have everything set correctly, there may be an issue with your product. If that's the case, you may want to contact whomever it was purchased from or speak to Zoo Med's customer service.

The instructions on ours do say to only use with a 120 v outlet in the safety section. You may need to contact Zoo Med to see if they have the product for your market.

The dimming sockets allow for day/night temp settings and dim the bulb to match the set temperature. They won't do anything as fancy as adjust lighting to mimic sunrise and sunset.

Check out arcadia lumenize, think you will like that. I been reading all about it as im doing a new setup with my green tree python. Going from 3x2x2 to 4x2x2 and just starting from scratch build.

The device has just regular timers you can put your UVB bulbs onto. The dimmer is a little bit trickier, but it does allow for a day time temp and a night time temp. The night time temp you can try setting so low that the bulb has no choice but to be off.

Thank you I think I got it figured out now I am ordering a govee smart plug to run the heat lamp on a schedule into the heat dimmer socket. I have the socket two cool side set for 75 degrees with nothing plugged in the ambients in my room as I live with an elderly frail lady stay at 80 once everything turns off. I figure 80 is within range and the hot side drops to 81-82 at this time naturally as well that I’ve decided for now to leave it alone unless I hear of any reason that that is too hot at night. I have looked into the repticooler to bring that cold side down at night but my worries is that my humidity appears to range mid 50 to mid 60 and raise to 71 at night without misting or doing anything that the swap cooler design on the repticooler would shoot the humidity too high

Hello! sockets 5 and 6 are alternating day and night timers, only one can be on at a time

Thank you for watching! And that is correct!

They are alternating day/night timers only and are not linked to a temperature probe, just the programmed time.

Hello, sorry to hear about your troubles! This sounds like it either isnt receiving enough heat to register a reading, or a potential connection issue. We would recommend contacting zoomed directly for most efficient troubleshooting and or part replacement

This doesn't use a light sensor. It does have an internal "clock" that you set to determine your day/night time. I'll drop the link here to the instructions to the product on Zoo Med's page, hopefully that clears it up for you a little! zoomed.com/wp-content/uploads/RT-1000_Instructions_9-17-21.pdf

You should see it turn on when you plug it in and it will be programmed according to the factory settings.

Hi! I'm not Eric, but I checked with him on what the solution was to this. I looked over the instructions and there wasn't an obvious way to use both the dimmer outlet and timer outlets - they're separate unfortunately. He did mention that the dimmer function has a day time temp setting and a night time temp setting. He said to set it to your basking temps during the day, and then at night, set it at a temperature so low that the bulb has to shut off. The second socket is where you'd put your night time bulb. Set it to "heat", and then set it for the night time temps you do want. That way if it drops too low at night, it'll kick on. I hope I explained it clearly! I'd test it all to make sure the bulbs actually do what you want them to, but hopefully that workaround helps!

@taylormoore3328 Did you ever try this method? If so, did it work?

How you stop the constant beeping or mute it?

Did you ever figure this out? I want the same thing, bulb light during the day (temp controlled) and then heater at night (temp controlled)

I have the same question. I can plug them in in one place but I want the one that emits light to turn off at night.

Same question

to mute all alarm sounds, hold the power button and down arrow for 6 seconds. These devices can work without the humidity or dehumidifier option, did you plug anything into the socket, or program what humidity its looking for? It sounds like maybe there was a hiccup with set up

Did you recently purchase the Control Center? You might want to contact whomever it was purchased from to help you troubleshoot it or replace it if necessary. You could also contact Zoo Med to confirm whether or not there's a defect with the product.

@@TyeDyedIguana I’ll check if I have receipts and stuff but I doubt it
