Where do I find the accurite Thermo.Hygro meter?

[rabernet]

I bought the Accurite Thermo 0089182 with the one probe...How do I get this to read both side of the Tank ?

The indoor temp is your cool side, and you put the probe inside the warm side hide - that's your outdoor temp, or warm side temp.

There should be a button that changes the top number from "Time" to "Outside Temp" which will be your warm side...

I think I may have gotten the wrong one.. this one only has 1 probe wire coming from the back and only displays 1 temperature reading (with a switch for clock/humidity reading)

thats the right one. im pretty sure thats the same one i have.... the clock setting turns into the probe temp and the humidity. the temp you have now is the temp of the main unit where its at.

hit the bottom left button and



and theres only one small wire coming out of the left side.

Most people will tell you to put it on the glass or the surface right above the uth, so its like almost directly on. I have mine under the substrate but its not stuck down with the sticky pad so it moves sometimes. If you have the hide over the UTH it should be pretty close to the temp you have right on the glass, but this way if your snake burrows in the substrate it wont get burned because of the temp difference of the substrate to being right on top of the UTH.

You should probably get a zoomed repti temp 500r if you dont have one already. I just got mine today. Its pretty necessary with the UTH's because they get really hot pretty fast. Mines got over like 120ºF (= burnage) so ive only been using my heat light. Now im setting my UTH for 90º and turning the light off for good probably. Its less watts and regulated better, and it doesnt decrease my tank humidity. UTH actually helps raise the humidity.

I have the zoomed rhenostat, has low med high adjustments, should be sufficient right?

and how much clearence does the UTH need from another surface below it?

Example: I have the glass tank sitting ontop of my dresser with about 1/4" of space below it
