Thank you for choosing the Herpstat HP.  This product offers the following features: 

 

 

 

High Powered ON/OFF style control of heating, cooling, or a humidity device. (usable range from 

40

˚

F to 110

˚

F or 4

˚C to 

43

˚C

).   

 

Temperature sensor included with an internal resolution of .1125 

˚

and is accurate to ± .9 ˚

 

Can be used with optional humidity sensor to control humidity instead of heating/cooling.  

 

 

Can be used with optional humidity sensor for heating while monitoring humidity.

 

 

Built in Safety Relay gives backup protection against a main relay failure causing a "run away" 

heating situation.  

 

Built in electrical tracking that typically improves relay contact life providing longer product life. 

 

User selectable temperature ramping. 

 

Sensor Matching allows the user to digitally calibrate the sensor output to match other equipment. 

 

Selectable day/night schedules with nighttime temperature setting. 

 

High/Low  tracking helps monitor heating system and enclosure efficiency. 

 

High/Low threshold alarms. 

 

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.

 

 

12ft removable sensor allows for easy replacement if necessary. 

 

Audible alarm system.  

 

Internal error detection shuts off heat if sensor fails or is disconnected. 

 

Handles up to 1500 watts continuous (1650 watts peak).   

 

Replaceable fuse. 

 

6ft electrical cord and grounded outlet 

 

1 year limited warranty

 

 

* Software clock is reset and features requiring the clock are disabled on power loss. 

 

 

 

Hardware Installation 

 

WARNING:  

FIRE OR ELECTRICAL SHOCK MAY RESULT FROM MISUSE.  FOR INDOOR USE ONLY! 

 

 

Do not exceed 1500 watts continuous use. 

 

1.

 

Insert the temperature probe plug into jack on the back of the Herpstat HP. 

 

2.

 

Attach the Herpstat's power cable to the back of the unit and then connect to a standard 120V 

electrical outlet.   

 

3.

 

Attach the heating or cooling 

device to the Herpstat's AC outlet.  

 This thermostat is recommended 

for use with oil filled heaters, cooling fans, or humidity control devices within a room.  This 

thermostat is not recommended for individual control of cages, racks or enclosures.
