Hey guys,
I am looking for a little bit of help with setting up my thermostat. I originally had a reptipad heat mat with built in thermostat, but wasn't very happy the other day when i noticed it was over by 5 degrees and still heating.
I wanted to replace it straight away for the health of my reptile, and not wait 3-5 working days for delivery so I can save a buck. So I spent $89.00 on this thermostat which I was told is very good.
Anyways, following the instructions, after I set the desired temp, I press "set" and then get the option to choose a temp divergence. Then your supposed to press set again, which takes you to setting timers for the lights.
The problem I'm having is after setting the temp divergence (i set it to zero), I press set to move on, and I get the option to set another temperature. Not sure if it is also for temp divergence but on the second temp setting screen there is a "DL" on the screen. Anyone know what it is?
Also, does anyone know if I should set a temp divergence for my GTP hatchy? I've got her on a flat 31 degrees at the moment with no temp divergence.
Thanks for any advice guys and gals
Cheers
