    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

How do you program in the temp. you want on the basic unit? Do I need a program module? I got one used with no instructions. Thanks.
 
If it is the Helix DBS-1000 then I believe it has instructions on the front of the unit on how to set and check temperature. You just press and hold the button on the front until it get to the temperature that you want it.
 
It isn't the DBS-1000. It's the Helix Basic proportional thermostat. It doesn't have any instructions or buttons. I checked the website, but it only has instructions for using the program module to set a min/max and alarm. Anybody have the Basic?
 
hmmm

Alright, mine have two small black buttons right next to the two screws. Hold the two buttons down and the screen will go to the set point. Turn the screw on the right to adjust the set point up or down (clockwise/counterclockwise). If you do not have the little black buttons it is a different model than my older ones (12 years old or so). You will have to check with helix. Best bet is [email protected]. Of course with the holiday weekend it will likely be next week before you hear back.
