These advanced controllers can be used for precision temperature control, lighting control, and even humidity control. Housed in desktop style cases they can easily sit on top of your rack, cage, or incubator. Dual proportional temperature controlling modes (Dimming or Pulse) are built in so you can choose the mode that works best with your setup. A built in soft startup feature will slowly add power on initial starts as well as a user selectable ramping between day and night time temperature settings. A new revolutionary auto power matching algorithm constantly adjusts the power output to get the best regulation possible. We also added new AC control code that lets the device adjust power in 100 steps to be able to finely tune the heating equipment. High and low temperature tracking and audible alerts are standard. Possibly one of the most important new features is the built in safety relay that can disconnect power to the outlets in case of a solid state control failure as well as a timeout function that can cut power if the user's low temperature is not reached within 30 minutes. Three prong grounded outlets are standard assuring compatibility with most heating devices. The Herpstat 2 has two outlets/probes and has independant settings for each. The Herpstat 2 comes with two temperature probes and power cord. Optional humidity sensing probes are available. Note: We use two different brand enclosures depending upon availability. One version has rounded corners and the output label is printed to the rear panel. The other has more angular corners and the outputs are labeled with stickers on the rear panel. We will ship what is in stock. They are functionally the same. Check out the User's Manual for screen shots of the setup procedure. Features:·Proportional heating constantly monitors and adjusts amount of heat necessary to maintain a target temperature (usable range from 40°F to 150°F or 4°C to 65°C). ·Soft startup slowly applies power during initial warm-ups. ·User selectable temperature and light ramping allows day to night changes to occur slowly. (Up to 10 hours) ·Sensor Matching allows the user to digitally calibrate the sensor output to match other equipment. ·Configurable for Heating, Cooling, Lighting, or Humidity. ·Basking assist feature supports basking lights as a heat source. ·Auto Power Matching constantly adjusts the power output curve to match the enclosures efficiency. ·High / Low temperature tracking helps monitor heating system and enclosure efficiency.·Precision sensor with internal resolution of .1125 °F and is accurate to ± .9 °F ·Display and setting in tenths of a degree. ·All settings are retained in memory even if power is lost. ·Power Outage detection / tracking. ·Temperature can be set / displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius. ·Easy to read backlit LCD display. ·Removable temperature probes allow for easy replacement if necessary. ·User replaceable fuse. ·Audible alarm system ·Individually selectable High/Low temperature threshold alarms. ·Security Passcode option deters vandals. ·Internal error detection shuts off heat if sensor fails or is disconnected. ·900 total watt output for the Herpstat 2 (500W max per output) ·1 year limited warranty
