Hello!
Either you have not registered on this site yet, or you are registered but have not logged in. In either case, you will not be able to use the full functionality of this site until you have registered, and then logged in after your registration has been approved.
Registration is FREE, so please register so you can participate instead of remaining a lurker....
Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.

Ranco ETC-111000-000W Prewired Tstat
I've been using these with really good success especially where you don't need a proportional controller. They can be set for a very narrow temperature range, so even though they are not proportional, they can keep a pretty right range. They can handle a pretty heavy load so I am using them to control space heaters and fridges. Another advantage is they can heat or cool. I order them prewired from etc supply. I have also used them to control RHPs and they worked fine for that, too.

I have several that I use on my colubrid racks, and they work well for that application. I wouldn't use an on/off thermostat in an incubator, but they work well with heat tape. I have a few units that have been running for 8 years with no problems.

Why??? I use a proportional on my incubator. Started with an on/off and temps would vary 2 degrees with a Vivarium Electronics. I use only Herpstat now,and it varies 0.2 degrees.

Not sure I understand your question - you're asking why I don't use an on/off thermostat for my incubators? I don't use an on/off for precisely the same reason you stated (2+ degrees temp fluctuation). I use a Herpstat proportional for the same reason you stated (fraction of a degree fluctuation).

I have 3-4 Ranco running rack systems .... they work great for that application and never a problem ... incubators on self-contained or Herpstat proportional thermostats like the above ... the application dictates the thermostat for the job :-)
