What makes you think its blown a fuse?

Istat have a Facebook page, maybe try there. All I could find from a search were Microclimate fuses, which use 5 amp Fast Fuses. I am not sure if Istat use the same fuse or not.

I contacted istat via facebook, they replied almost immediately and have put me onto marty buhagiar. Aussie rep i believe should be sorted soon. 1.5amp fuse.

Just fyi. Marty wont be doing istat warranties or selling fuses in the future. If i find a reliable reasonably priced supply of fuses ill post here.

So what is everyone’s opinion on these Istats

Before the istat I had only ever used the manual type thermostat so my opinion its very biased.
I really think it's a great piece of gear, great display with plenty of different functions. My only negative would be that it won't control a second output such as a second light

I have been thinking about getting one to run my new incubator but I haven’t heard a great deal on them can you get it to hold temperature with out much fluctuation?

Jaycar electronics carry a plethora of fuses for people needing one in future

@Wilfred , there is a few different settings available on the menu that allows - dimming, on/off pulse and cooling . I have no problem with mine holding a fairly stable temp and if the day gets hot enough it just switches itself off ( obviously)
But the audible temp warning could possibly be of good use to you. You can also set the hours of heat in hour increments. I have the pulse+ and not the compact as I liked the idea of having a decent display which includes thermometer, hygrometer and barometer

Where do you buy these from what’s the price like on these all I find is American websites

@Wilfred the store I got them from late last year don't stock them anymore (only Habistats now) and couldn't find any other place. Loved it for the settings it could do as I used it for my click and clack and later for the CHE in the final enclosure on pulse without any issues.

I've got a heap of these fuses available now if anyone needs a backup supply.

They fit the Istat compact.

Does anyone know what fuse the Istat Pulse+ uses, whether its the same or not?

You should make a post on market place. I’m sure lots of people will need
