Help! Herpstat2 Heating up.
Please help w/ any ideas....
Just recently purchased a Herpstat2 and thought I had both temps dialed in (using temp gun). After unplugging, the unit and replugging into a new surge protector, one of my outputs has sky rocketed up to 112 degrees even though I have it set to 95 degrees on the unit. For reference, I have two UTH's (one on each side) on the underside of a PVC enclosure taped down w/ foil tape. The Herpstat2 probes are taped to the enclosure between the enclosure and the UTHs w/ a single piece of electrical tape. The tape is on the wire and not the actual probe.
Please help!

Re: Help! Herpstat2 Heating up.
The Herpstat2 is at 131 degrees now.....
I unhooked it from the Surgeprotector to see if that was the issue.

Check to make sure probe is against the UTH. If it's not in direct contact it may send a false reading.Tape it down over probe. Also make sure your herpstat temp is set correctly on the channel you have the probe set to. I had one lose setting when I unplugged it.

This all seemed to happen when I unplugged everything. I checked the channel setting and it's still at 95 but the temps are 136ish and 100%. The other channel seems to be working fine. My probe was taped to the enclosure but I'll make sure its taped to the UTH. Does it matter what type of tape is used? The instructions just reference not using foil tape. Geez this is frustrating but I appreciate the support and knowledge gained here!

Re: Help! Herpstat2 Heating up.
Also check your probe connection. I'm sure u may have done that . Which if not correct will show missing probe. But I would double check. Make sure probe is in right channel. For heat tape. Just double check. Lol I've done some crazy stuff before.

It's definitely not showing missing probe...just a 130ish number
As for 'making sure the probe is in the right channel'...i'm not sure if I'm following because won't they work in either one?..... meaning they will just regulate whichever UTH they are hooked up too.

Right channel has a right probe. Left channel has a left probe. Each has a separate channel on a herpstat 2 . You have to go in and setup output 1 and output 2. On your herpstat.

Try and switch probes and see if the heat up changes to the other channel. If so, you got a faulty probe.
