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.

Johnson Controls A419 use ?
With no instructions and no response on redtailboas.com I'm getting impatient. Can anyone walk me through the MENU on a JC A419 thermostat?
I put the probe in the enclosure, plugged in the flexwatt, temp read 84 degrees initially. Hit the MENU button and got the abreviation SP and then a flashing 30 degrees which I assumed was the temp I needed to change to set the thermostat. Bumped it to 88 degrees and the light came on and the flexwatt heated up. But it hasn't maintained the temp. I came back later to check on it and the temp was down to like 82 degrees.
What does these MENU abreviations mean:
SP
SF
OFS
OSd
d1f
Thanks,
Bob

sp setpoint
dif differential set to 1
asd anti short cycle delay set to 0 or 1
ofs temp offset set to 0
sf sensor failure 0= de-energized, 1 = energized
hope this helps

Wow that was quick! Yes and no. Can you walk me through what the responsibilities of each are so I can determine better what to set it on please? I'm an Infantry Marine and this is my first thermostat. Put the two together and it's like agro man learning about fire.

has this stat been used for heating before? you might have to remove the cover and see how the jumpers are setup. turn off the power first of course and unscrew the cover, on the circuit board you'll see a little block named p4. you'll see jump1 and jump2 make sure the little jumper plug is installed/left on on jump1 that sets it to heat mode. i like to run mine with jump2 removed this works like this set to 80 deg. the heat source comes on at 80 and turns off around 81-82 with jump2 in place it works like set to 80
when temps go below 80 heat source comes on and warms up to 80 and cuts off.

if you can field strip an automatic weapon you'll have no problems.
sp set your desired temp.
dif set to 1
asd set to 0
ofs set to 0
sf set to 0
if you need any further help just ask, along with reptiles i'm an hvac tech.

sp your desired temp
dif differential is the accuracy level you want 1 is plus or minus one deg.
asd is when the unit turns on/off 0 means it can turn on/off instantly 1 would mean it takes a minute to cycle on/off
ofs is if you want the display to show a diffent temp than actual "offset temp" set this to 0
sf sensor failure set to 0 this will turn off the heat source if the sensor fails

Vaughn thanks. I just received this thermostat from Matt at MGReptiles and his stuff is advertised as new. I will set it up as you've shown above. I appreciate it.
Set Point = desired temp
Diff Set = + or - # of degrees set temp should vary
What does the anti short cycle, offset, and sensor failure energized or de-energized mean?
