Ranco Dual Stage Controller

Is there a limit on how many heaters you can run on this and is there a max wattage? It looks like there are two power outlets on it. Hook the heat up to a power strip?

Iam looking at setting up 3-4 300 watt Eheim JAGER heaters and a fan for cooling.

Thanks

Hi,

According to the specs I have found the controller will handle up to 16amps, but as much as 9.5amps switching on each outlet. Four of those heaters would be too much, but three of them might work.

Thanks,
Jeremy
