    Herpstat 2 -Help-

    I have two of my tubs on a herpstat 2 set at 92 degrees on the UTH, I get home and one tub is reading 85 degrees and only at 25% power. I went thru all the setting and everything is still correct, but won't heat up the first channel to full power. I even switched uth and probe and the issue stayed at that channel. Any ideas?

    I'd try contacting the manufacturer. http://www.spyderrobotics.com/index....age=contact_us They're usually pretty quick to respond.

    How long have you had the setup? It used to heat up and now it doesn't?

    Yes, I unplugged and switch outputs and no luck. I just tried again but left it unplugged longer and did a complete reset and now it seems to be working, fingers crossed as of now but I have no clue why the output was set to 100% and the temp set to 92 but was cutting out Power output at 85 degrees. Odd because I've had these two tubs setup for over a month.

    Did you maybe have the temp swing or sensor adjustment changed? I have 4 Herpstats and never seen an issue where one plug worked and the other didn't heat up enough. I have heard of the whole units being throttled down but that was because of old house wiring or a power strip not letting it get full power. Good that you got it working again though.

    I had a Herpstat One do that recently after running just fine for months. Even after unplugging it and waiting about 15 minutes it still had the issue. Changing the configuration setting from proportional power to on-off (this is in a rack) fixed it.
