Help! Herpstat2 Heating up.

[maconridgedanes]

Try and switch probes and see if the heat up changes to the other channel. If so, you got a faulty probe.

I agree

If after swapping probes to opposite channels, you still got a hot channel 2, then you might have faulty flexwatt. Try and temp gun the spot where the probe is and see if it is truly 136ish. If it is, then like i said, you probably got faulty flexwatt.

And you can also try and hit the master reset on the Herpstat unit and go through all the settings again to triple check. If after all that, the stuff is still heating up, then I'd call Dion at Spyder Robotics. But personally I think you got a bad probe.....

Right channel has a right probe. Left channel has a left probe. Each has a separate channel on a herpstat 2 . You have to go in and setup output 1 and output 2. On your herpstat.

yes, I did this. I'm using both channels in my setup. Two UTHs

Do what Sauzo says he telling u right. Better than I can explain it.

Your using flexwatt tape or the heating pad style of uth ?
Does the herpstat chirp everyonce and awhile?

So even when you switched probes to opposite channels, channel 2 still went up to 136ish?

Temp gun the spot where the probe is and see if your temp gun is reading the same or very close to the Herpstat.

I'm using Ultratherm 11x11 UTHs. The Herpstat only chirps when I unplug one of the probes.

Did you swap probes around to see if it still goes high.?

Ok, I'll try and lay out what I'm seeing because I'm having a hard time understanding it.....

Original Setup:

Channel 1 (Cool side): Herp Setting (95). Herpstat Reading (136)

Channel 2 (Hot side) : Herp Setting (100). Herpstat Reading (100)

New Setup: (I taped the probe to the UTH which was reporting the 136 above). I also switched the probes on the back of the HerpStat but kept them the same under the UTH

Channel 1 (now hot side): Herp Setting (95). Herpstat Reading (81). Temp Gun Reading (80) Heat needs to penetrate glass bottom

Channel 2 (now cool side): Herp Setting (100). Herpstat Reading (99). Temp Gun Reading (87) Heat needs to penetrate pvc bottom

So to me it looks like it's an issue w/ the channel (1) in the Herpstat and not the probe. Anyone else see it this way??
