Posted - 28/08/2009 : 09:37:38 OK so I have now got a pulse stat to run with my heat mat. What temp should I set it to so it gives the right temp in the viv? |

Posted - 28/08/2009 : 14:55:35 PP are fine, its Dimmers that have the high minimum loads. |

IIRC, and I might be wrong, pulse stats don't work with heat mats as the load is too low (minimum 40w?)
Just worth checking
microclimate pp stats have a minimum of 5 watts and habistat do not state a mimimum wattage for pp stats |

Pretty sure (without looking at my pulse stats at home) that mine are 40W min |

Posted - 28/08/2009 : 11:33:18 HI karl. Thanks for that I will check that when I get in. I was told to get one coz they are better than the normal thermostat. Oh and what does IIRC mean? |

Posted - 28/08/2009 : 10:20:00 Thanks Ant I think the thermometer is reading 87 so I will turn it up slightly. |

Posted - 28/08/2009 : 09:50:34 I think its a case of just adjusting it until its the right temp in the viv. I have a digital thermometer thats tied to my stat probe (small cable tie) so when the thermometer is reading 88-90F i know that whatever the stat is set to is the temp on the dial i need .... if that makes sense, lol
Dont ask me what its set to on the stat dial .. its covered over with a sock because i cant stand the flashing light when im trying to sleep, lol |
