The homeothermic blanket and temperature control system is designed to actively maintain an animal’s body temperature at a preset target value.

• A 2.0 mm temperature probe provides feedback to the controller about the animal’s core body temperature
• Three-digit LED digital display on the front panel indicates the temperature in tenths of a °C
• Temperature probe and heating pad plug into a junction box, which connects to controller via a 2.5 m shielded cable
• The controller adjusts current to the heating pad to maintain the desired body temperature
• The proportional DC power supply slowly varies current output to the heating element, based on the resistance of the monitoring thermistor probe
• As a result, electrical noise and current fluctuations are eliminated

Temperature range: 25 to 45 °C
Resolution: 0.1 °C
