Herpstat power matching function

[Steve-J]

Are you using the herpstat in the on/off mode or in the proportional mode? If it's in the on/off mode you would see a slightly greater swing, in the proportional mode it would stay closer to the target temp.

Im not sure really I didnt change anything when I got it and I assumed it would on proportional mode but it wont let me change anything. It wil only let me move temp up and down and tell me high and low temps. Ive tried holding down the buttons, pushing them once, tapping them twice, and holding both at the same time, its like it doesnt have any other options or I'm doing it wrong. Ive dealt with herpstats before and have several (different models) but this one seems to work differently.

Did you buy it new or used? I think you can reset it by holding down the (minus) button while it is NOT plugged in, and keep holding the button while you plug it into AC power (best to disconnect any flexwatt from the herpstat before doing this). Definitely email Dion if you're still having trouble.

I'll give it a whirl. Yep I bought it new its only about a month old now but I just set everything up a couple days ago. I'm gonna either call or send an email tomorrow. Thanks for your help.

Default is proportional placing the probe on the heat will tend to lead to less accurate temps.

I just changed both probes and placed them haging from the top danging exactly in the middle of the cooler and it is heating up faster now and the temps are matchin up now on the thermometer and the herpstat. Thanks
