SuperFish Smart Timer with second timer for the terrarium

The SuperFish Smart Timer is a programmable digital timer for automatically turning electrical equipment on and off. The major advantage over many standard timers is the ability to set switching times as short as 1 second. This makes this timer particularly useful for terrariums where equipment only needs to run for a short period of time.

Take an automatic sprinkler system, for example. With a conventional digital timer, one minute is often the shortest possible run time. For a powerful irrigation system, that can be far too long. With the SuperFish Smart Timer, you can set a connected pump to run for just a few seconds, for example. This gives you much more control over the amount of water that enters the terrarium during each watering cycle.

This precise control makes the timer suitable for tropical terrariums, paludariums, and other setups where humidity and daily routines are important. In addition to misting systems, the timer can be used for lighting and other compatible electrical equipment.

Programmable in 1-second increments

The second timer is one of the most important features of the SuperFish Smart Timer. The minimum programmable time is 1 second. This allows you to set short switching cycles that aren’t possible with many standard timers.

You can set up to 8 on/off schedules per day. This allows you to automatically activate devices at different times. For example, with a sprinkler system, you can spread out several short watering sessions throughout the day instead of using one long watering cycle.

This allows you to better tailor the system to the type of terrarium, the plants used, and the desired conditions. Even when you’re not at home, the scheduled times are carried out automatically.

Flexible Daily and Weekly Schedules

In addition to precise on/off times, the SuperFish Smart Timer offers various options for programming days and schedules. You can set up recurring programs to create a consistent daily or weekly routine.

The unit is operated via the digital LCD display and the buttons on the front panel. The timer also features a manual function. This allows connected devices to be turned on or off outside of the preset program whenever necessary.

A built-in battery helps preserve the programmed settings when the timer is temporarily disconnected from the power supply or in the event of a power outage. When using the device for the first time, it is recommended that you fully charge the internal battery first.

For misting systems, lighting, and terrarium equipment

For terrarium use, the SuperFish Smart Timer really shines when paired with an automatic misting system. A pump often only needs to run for a few seconds to moisten the plants, back wall, and decor of a tropical terrarium. Thanks to the second timer, you can control this much more precisely than with a traditional minute timer.

The timer can also be used for lighting and other electrical terrarium equipment, as long as the connected equipment remains within the maximum load. The timer supports a maximum load of 3,680 watts and 16 amps.

By automatically turning equipment on and off according to a set schedule, you can establish a consistent daily routine without having to manually operate each function.

Instructions for use

With a misting system, first set a relatively short misting time and check how much water actually enters the terrarium. From there, you can adjust the duration and frequency of misting cycles. Thanks to the setting starting from 1 second, you can experiment very precisely until the humidification suits your terrarium well.

Always use the SuperFish Smart Timer indoors and place it in a dry location. When connecting electrical devices, be sure to observe the maximum allowable load and always follow the safety instructions for both the timer and the connected device.
