multiple thermostats

[pete12]

hi guys is their any type of thermostat that i can get so it can control multiple heat sources

[mysnakesau]

Any dimming thermostate should control different heat sources including light bulbs and ceramic heat cord and heat mat but would only have one probe.
ADCS II by microclimate has up to 4 probes
Backlit Alphanumeric LCD Display.
Menu system for settings.
Clock and 'magic eye' for night/day control.
Dimming or pulse proportional with overheat cut-out.
Up to 4 sensors with 7 day Min/Max temperature logging.
Optional networking.
600W power handling.
Size : 135* 130* 50mm (W * D * H)

You can get a high wattage thermostat, just over $90 bucks, does 800w

[pete12]

yes but dose it have multiple probes

[mysnakesau]

sory to spoil your fun but the only thermostate that has multiple probes that i know of is the one mentioned
as you can sea it would be cheeper to buy 4 thermostates well maby the price of thermostats have just gorn up but you could select different ones for different aplactions i stock the entire range of microclimate thermostats on my web site and would be hapy to give you a quote.

kathy do you use that themostat? how accurate is it? do you use it in multiple vivs or you incubator?

[mysnakesau]

no i have not used that one i have not needed to i use a b1 pulse thermostat to control 3 4x2x2 cages
same heat source and probe one cage all works fine

Just trying to understand what has been written previously..... And to my undertsanding ...Someone is mentioning putting one probe into a enclosure...But running for eample 3 heat sources (all up)to the probed enlosure and to other enclosures...

Can I just say if this is the case.....Very Very Dangerous.....

I did do that when I first started out...Problem was the bulb to the probed enclosure blew.... And so....The thermostat was getting low readings, and thus was trying to heat up the enclosure more...When my other enclosure, which did have a good bulb, started to overheat....

Luckily I realised very very quickly, and quickly rectified it...buying another thermostat......

sory
this is a little off topic but after opening my microclimate b1 thermostat to change the fulty fuse that was in it
[not blone supplied like that not working] there is very little circuit in there and very comon parts carnt wait til the japs copy this one they will be much cheeper to buy and could even increce the 600 watt limit
i could cope it but that would be illegal.

to back up this i have aquarium heaters in my shop supplied with external probe and have bought them on specil
for around whole sale $19 very similar circuit and probe works 0 to 36 dig i cut the fish tank heater off and wired in a female plug proving they can be made cheeper
forgot to mention it was a 300 watt heater i used

Microclimate have a dual model with dual probes. Not sure on price, check out their web site.
