It says this is controlled by a thermastat, what is the temperature range? Can you manually set the temperature the heater comes on at?

I didn't know it even had a thermastat. I don't think there's a manual setting. All I know is it work great on my Log Splitter. It only needs to be on about 90 minutes.

By itself, the Kat 1155 does NOT have an intergal thermostat control. Suggest look at Farm Innovators Model TC-3 Cold Weather Thermo Cube Thermostatically Controlled Outlet - On at 35-Degrees/Off at 45-DegreesAppreciate this heater is only 200W.

It has an internal thermostat that is not adjustable (no way to manually set the range). For my oil pan it is great (would also work on a transmission pan). I have never tracked to see how hot it gets, but it will burn your hand if you touch it (ouch). Also, you can put a timer on it, so it will turn on at a certain time for a how long you need it. I have done this when it is not too cold. Hope that helps, Happy New Year.

The heater is not adjustable and if you want it on you have to turn it on. It turns off at 140 degrees.

no temperature controls on unit, you have to do that manually with your own separate thermometer and removing heater at desired temps. Having said that, this heater worked perfectly fine for what I needed it for.

This heater has a control knob with numbers. One cannot set it to a specific temp, however with use, one lerns the setting that he (she) finds the most comfortable and it works well no matter what the ambient temperature. I feel that this unit is well worth the price. Cliff

Yes it says so in owners manual. I was worried about that as well. As it comes out though that is very pragmatic. Your home heats a large volume of air. That takes time. I turn down heat at night by 5 to 7 degrees from what is comfortable enough. So that works out to 2 degrees + 2 degrees 20 minutes later. Programmables presume a given temperature at a given time. Here I set it by need. This is not a programmable thermostat. It is an easy to read & set digital however. Neural damage makes me wobbly. This works out in the real world.

When you install it you also install a thermostat that has a sensor that goes under the tiles with the heater. You set the desired temperature and it will shut off when the temp is reached. I like the Honeywell with the timer so that it automatically comes on off when I want it to.

Variable heat control will be low, medium, high. Controlled by a knob. Thermostat will be just like a thermostat for your oven or heater. set it for 70 and it shuts off when then thermostat reaches 70 and comes back on automatically

50°-90°F (10°-32°C) is the thermostat range, with a 1 degree differential. That said, you can't really set the thermostat on a particular temperature, but it doesn't take long to figure out where you want to set it. I have mine marked with a red sharpie so I can remember.

I am in FL and can not access my manual, but I have mine set at 48 and it will go lower. Can not recall if an external thermostat can be used.

You can only set the temperature in 5 degree increments starting at 60 degrees, then 65, 70, 75, 80, 85 and MAX, whatever that is. It is preset to only allow you to choose those numbers. You can't set it for 63 degrees or 71 degrees or something like that. I don't understand these other responses because they don't really answer the question. I have owned the heater for 2 years so I know....

The thermostat has a maximum setting of 100 degrees. I keep mine set around 90 degrees. I have never put a thermometer on it to see how the set temp compares to actual temp. When I first installed the heater it took 3 or 4 days to reach the set temp. This was in the middle of winter and the water temp was probably around 50 degrees when I turned the heater on.

generally, thermostat set too high ,above180try turning the stat down.hope this helps.

The temp range is maybe 70F-140F degrees on the thermostat ... There is NO an on/off setting.This unit is in my attic and I haven't been up there in a while-- so those temp ranges are just a guess. Thanks!

The unit has an automatic shutoff that can be set for various temperatures. I have set it to "maximum" and, although the shutoff temperature is not specified, based on my experience it must be well above 80. I don't know, however, what temperature it will not heat above.

Actually, there is no temperature control in this heater. There is timer kind of knab which shuts off the heater based on it's setting. If it is max, always heater runs. If it is low, automatically it takes lot of breaks.

There is a dial numbered from 1-10 to control the temp. I bought two... one worked and the other didn't. The working one works very well.

This heater puts out forced heat with a blower and has 2 settings. However, there is no thermostat to control the temperature. i.e. it runs until you turn it off.
