Thank you for choosing the Herpstat 4 digital proportional thermostat. This product
offers the following features:
Four output proportional heating constantly monitors and adjusts amount of heat necessary to
•
maintain a target temperature (usable range from 40˚F to 150˚F or 4˚C to 65˚C).
Outputs 1 & 2 configurable for Heating/Cooling/Lighting. Outputs 3 & 4 can be configured for
•
Heating /Cooling/Humidity/Lighting with simulated sunrise/sunset and moonlight features.
User selectable temperature and light ramping.
•
Sensor Matching allows the user to digitally calibrate the sensor output to match other equipment.
•
Auto Power Matching constantly adjusts the power output curve to match the enclosures efficiency.
•
Basking assist feature supports basking lights as a heat source.
•
Individually selectable day/night schedules with nighttime temperature settings for each output.
•
High/Low temperature tracking helps monitor heating system and enclosure efficiency.
•
Individually selectable High/Low temperature threshold alarms.
•
Precision temperature sensors with an internal resolution of .1125 ˚F and are accurate to ± .9 ˚F
•
Display and setting in tenths of a degree.
•
Security Passcode option deters vandals.
•
All 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.
•
Removable sensors allow for easy replacement if necessary.
•
Each output is fused separately keeping an outage on one output from affecting the other.
•
Audible alarm system
•
Internal error detection shuts off heat if sensor fails or is disconnected.
•
Internal safety relay can be configured to disable power to all outputs if user settable conditions are
•
met.
External input can be used to trigger events such as turning off a mist pump when the water supply
•
is low.
400 watt rating for each output (1600 watts total output) is sufficient for most incubators, rack
•
systems, enclosures, and vivariums.

Page 2: Hardware Installation
Basking assist feature added supports basking lights as a heat source. Typically a proportional thermostat Do not block the vents or impede airflow to the bottom of the Herpstat 4. Vent holes on the bottom of the reduces power when the temperature is close to the target temp and turns off when the target temperature is device provide proper cooling. -
Page 3: Setup Procedure
Setup Procedure (Output Setup for Temperature Control continued...) DayTemp: The DayTemp setting is the temperature the device will try to maintain during the Day Cycle. If the Nite Cycle is disabled then the Day Temp setting will be used for the full 24hrs. SnsrAdj: The SnsrAdj (Sensor Adjust) setting is used to alter the temperature read by the temperature probe to match other equipment. - Page 4 Disabled shows as the time. Once in the Editing Mode the Enter button is used to accept the change. When the Herpstat 4 is set to Humidity Hybrid mode the 9th scheduled slot is a "Forced Session" and if DayLite: activated it will not check the sensor for feedback.

(not conducting). In Closed Contact mode the event will trigger Special Symbols: if a switch is in its closed state (conducting). While in this setting the Herpstat 4 will display the current status of the External Input to help you choose. - Page 6 Do not exceed 400 watts per output. The Herpstat 4 has standard 5mmx20mm fuses with a rating of 3.5 amps. Should it appear that one of the outputs is no longer providing power the fuse for that output may need to be replaced. To do this unplug all cables from the back of the unit including power.
