    Herpstat 2 question

    So I bought a Herpstat 2 Redline. Set it up yesterday and it was running fine - temps were steady where I set them when I went to bed. It ran for probably 8 hours before I went to bed. I checked it once sometime over night, still good.

    I had a Zoomed UTH set up on one output, an infrared bulb set up on another output. Both were set on dimming.

    I got up this morning with the display reading “Error detected - 120v A.C. signal”.

    I can’t find anything anywhere that tells me what this means. Anyone know?

    It means your sensor probe and 120 ac wire are too close together. Separate them.

    edit: Sensor probe wire, not the sensor tip.

    Ok, how do I get the error message to reset? (I’m not at home right now, so if that’s a simple answer, forgive me).
