Installing Herpstat probe in AP T8

[BPGator]

Sorry with the questions that might seem obvious... are you placing the probe in the back of the enclosure? or, in the center? or cool side? I'll probably place it on the cool side, as recommended by Bob... but curious on other placements.

No problem. Yes, the hole is in the back wall of the T8 and the probe is in the back. I use the entire T8 (no divider) and my probe is on the cool side. It's about 12" away from the sidewall on the cool side. With a divider, you'll probably want it closer to your sidewall.

As a side note, I did have it on the hot side at one time, but I found this seemed to adversely affect my Herpstat controls - it would either run at close to 100% or 0%. This caused high temp spikes. With the probe on the cool side, the Herpstat seems to be able to maintain the temp in a more constant range.
