I'm guessing by this statement you have first hand real world experience with this model and can provide factual data on said thermostat.

I would then like to ask a user of said model..

Is it a proportional control system or an on/off control system like many of BAH's thermostats? I read the spec's on it and must have missed where they stated this info.. The only reason I ask is that on/off systems have been shown to cause fail more often and cause premature ware to heating elements like flexwatt and UTH systems.

How accurate is it? Helix is accurate to with in .25 of a degree. While the info claimed to be accurate they didn't give any numbers to back this up. So I'm sure you've check it with your temp gun as I do anytime I install a new thermostat on any of my racks. How close does it get.

What kind of a user alert does it offer for when a failure does occur. With many systems there is an alert that tells the user that a power surge has happened or that the system has failed.

If God forbid a failure does happen does the system shut down or will it stick wide open like has been my experience with BAH's thermostats. I mean I know they say this
FAIL SAFE - We at Big Apple Pet Supply believe this to be one of the most important features in our design of the new BAH-1000SC thermostat. The system permanently maintains a special overload safety circuit which automatically activates in the case of a unit malfunction. This unique feature greatly reduces the chance of accidental overheating amongst other heating hazards. Note: This safety feature could be compromised in the event of plugging in more than the maximum of 800 watts or in the event of an electrical power surge so always use a surge protector.
But that doesn't make allot of sense since most house hold surge protectors are rated for protection between 1200 and 1500 watts.

The only reason I ask all of this that the only system I've ever had fail was a BAH's proportional and it stuck wide open a cause a burn in my system.

Just wanting to hear from someone that seems to have used them.
