We are proud to announce that we are now a Reseller of the Herpstat ND for Australia.

Herpstat ND
Digital Propotional Thermostat

• Proportional heating constantly monitors and adjusts amount of heat necessary to maintain a target temperature (Usable range from 50°F to 140°F or 10°C to 60°C). Can also be used in non-proportional (on / off) mode.
  
• Sensor Matching allows the user to digitally calibrate the sensor output to match other equipment.
• Power Matching allows the user to increase / decrease the proportional power output curve to match the enclosures efficiency.
• Coil Warming feature for enclosures using heating coils to increase accuracy.
• Night Drop feature built in with real time clock. Also able to completely turn off the output during the night cycle.
• Cooling function allows control of basic cooling devices.
• High / Low temperature tracking helps monitor heating system and enclosure efficiency.
• Individually selectable High / Low temperature threshold alarms.
• Precision sensor with internal resolution of .1125 °F and is accurate to ± .9 °F.
• Display and setting in tenths of a degree.
• Alarm Clock feature great for daily reminders.
• All settings are retained in memory even if power is lost.
• Power Outage detection / tracking.
• Temperature can be set / displayed in Fahrenheit or Celsius.
• Easy to read backlit LCD display.

Nice. Are these units pulse proportional or dimming?

 

[CarpetPythons.com.au]

Proportional thermostats are the same as dimming thermostats. They can control how much voltage goes to the heating device. The thermostats marketed as "Pulse Proportional" thermostats are the ones that are somewhat misleading. Those basically just flicker the outputs on/off and do not actually intelligently track the AC sine waves.

Fantastic! I had a look on their site, they look like pretty flash units. Knowing the Yanks as I do, is there an option to switch from fahrenheit to celcius?

 

[Scotty99]

Yep can set it on either as stated in first post above.

 

[CarpetPythons.com.au]

Yes, it has got celcius as a function. The most exciting thing about tbhis stat is that it has a resettable fuse, this means that it wont burn out if you plug 600 Watts of heating into it when its only rated for 400 Watts.

Another feature is price! Its nearest competition is the Microclimate ADCS2. This Herpstat unit has loads more features and is a fraction of the price.

Does the unit come with Aussie plugs and sockets, and will you be getting the other products in their range.

Is the unit safe to use with light bulbs?

Is the unit safe to use with light bulbs?

I would like to know does it have the facility to not only facilitate the heating side of things but does it also allow to control seperate lighting with timer settings too?
