Please Read the Following Instructions  

BeforeUsingtheBN-LINK® ReptileHeat  

INSTRUCTIONS: PLEASE READ CAREFULLY  

Bottom Mounting:  

Clean the surface of the terrarium, peel adhesive paper off back of heat pad and “stick" the heat pad to  

the bottom of your terrarium; remember to place heat pad on either the right or left side of terrarium and  

gently rub heat pad to make firm contact. This allows one side of your terrarium to be warmer than the  

other, providing a natural temperature gradient. The BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad must be stuck to the  

terrarium. This allows slightelevation of the terrarium thus allowing excessheat to escape (very important).  

Warning:  

Risk of Electric Shock.  

The BN-LINK ® Reptile Heat Pad is for indoor use  

only.  

Do not submerge the heat pad for any reason.  

Moving or Detaching Heat Pad:  

DO NOT remove theheat pad once it has been  

attached to your terrarium.  

REMOVAL of the heat pad once attached voids all  

warranty as this can easily damage the internal wire  

connections.  

Do not rest tank on cord or plastic housing.  

Discard pad if it shows any signs of deterioration such as cracking, blistering, melting, or  

discoloration.  

Follow all instructions.  

Inspect cord periodically. Do not use if cord is damaged or frayed.  

WARNING: Risk of Fire.  

Side Mounting:  

Never mount the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad in a manner that would encapsulate heat.  

(i.e. mounting it on the bottom of a terrarium and then setting the terrarium directly on any  

type of table or the floor/carpet). Always use the enclosed rubber feet to elevate your  

terrarium thus allowing the heat to escape. If unsure of bottom mounting, the side mounting  

of the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad is the preferred application.  

If your terrarium is located on any type of antique  

stand or dresser or if there is fabric (i.e; tablecloth,  

etc...) underneath your terrarium then side mount-  

ing of the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad is preferred.  

To side mount, simply remove adhesive paper from  

the back of the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad and  

"stick" to the lower right or left side of your terrarium  

(see Diagram 2).  

Placement of Terrarium:  

Do not place on heat sensitive surfaces (i.e. antique furniture, plastic, etc...)  

Do not place the terrarium where it may receive direct sunlight.  

The BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad is to be used on standard glass aquariums only; using any  

other type of cage will void the warranty.  

Do not use the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad on anything other than glass  

terrariums: NO ACRYLIC cages  

Substrate:  

If the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad is on the bottom  

of the tank , you must use some type of substrate  

material.  

NO METAL cages  

NO WOOD cages  

NO PLASTIC cages  

NO FOAM cages  

NO FIBERGLASS cages  

NO STONE cages  

This prevents snakes and burrowing reptiles from  

pushing substrate aside and resting on top of the  

glass directly above the heat pad,resulting in possi-  

ble burns! Using newspaper, paper towels, or any  

similarly light product in place of a substrate is  

not appropriate with this kind of heat pad, and  

such use will void any and all warranty and  

release the BN-LINK from any liability for damage  

to product, property, or animals. Also, some liners  

or cage inserts have plastic or rubberized backings  

that could melt; use such items with caution. When  

using gravel or sand type substrates, it is important  

to use no more than 1.5” (3.81cm) depth of grav-  

el/sand type substrates.  

Hot Weather:  

ALWAYS unplug your BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad if the room temperature of your house  

rises above 80°F (26.6°C). (Unless using a reptile thermostat to control the heat pad.)  

Water Dish Placement, Substrate and Cleaning:  

DO NOT PLACE WATER DISH ABOVE HEATER.  

Plug Heat Pad In:  

Avoid spilling or spraying water on glass where heat pad is attached; water spilled directly  

on the glass where the heat pad is could cause a stress crack. Note: If the bottom of your  

terrarium can get wet this could cause a “stress crack" with this type of heat pad. Always use  

a substrate that will absorb water and keep your water dish on the opposite side of the  

terrarium from the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad. Because of the many variables involved in  

terrarium glass thickness, set up and husbandry, the BN-LINK does not guarantee against  

stress crack* in your terrarium. To maximize against the possibility of stress cracks from  

water spills, etc., then we recommend side mounting of the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad.  

(See Diagram 2).  

The BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad is designed  

to slowly heat glass, and then the air inside of  

your terrarium. The heat pad will take a minimum of  

six hours before you get an accurate temperature  

reading in your terrarium. If your animal spends all  

of its time near the heat pad It means that there is  

not enough heat in the cage. Supplemental heal  

should be added immediately.

BN-LINK 6×8 Reptile Heat Thermostat Instructions Overview

Summary of Contents

• Page 1: Please read the following instructions carefully. Bottom mounting requires cleaning the surface of the terrarium and sticking the heat pad to the bottom. The heat pad should be placed on either the right or left side to create a temperature gradient. The BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad must be stuck to the terrarium to allow excess heat to escape. Do not remove the heat pad once attached, as this voids the warranty. Never mount the heat pad in a way that encapsulates heat. Always use the enclosed rubber feet to elevate the terrarium. The heat pad is to be used on standard glass aquariums only. Do not use the heat pad on anything other than glass terrariums. Avoid placing a water dish above the heater to prevent stress cracks.
• Page 2: Use BN-LINK® Digital Thermostat to monitor the temperature of your terrarium. It is recommended to use one thermostat per each 20 gallons of terrarium. Most reptiles require a minimum air temperature of 80°F (26.6°C). The average house temperature ranges from 65-75°F (18-24°C) and requires an additional heat source. The screen or glass top plays an important part in the overall temperature control of your terrarium. For tropical species, using a glass top will help trap humidity and increase heat. Make sure the BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad has been unplugged and cooled down before cleaning. Not following the provided instructions voids any and all warranties. Do not place your terrarium where it will receive direct sunlight. The BN-LINK® Reptile Heat Pad is not designed for use with water in any way.
