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.

Description:
|
The DBS 1000 is Helix Controls’ newest low-cost proportional temperature controller that provides ultimate comfort and health for your animal 24 hours a day by regulating the temperature of the cage or environment.
FEATURES
- This proportional controller mimics nature by continuously adjusting the amount of power delivered to the heater, as opposed to simply turning ON and OFF as done by other manufacturers.
- The new digital interface is simple and easy to use. Set the desired temperature using just one button. Check the programmed set-temperature anytime by simply pressing the button. There is no ‘trial and error’ common with analog systems that cannot display the set-temperature. You get the desired temperature the first time you program the unit.
- The programmed set-temperature values are stored in a type of memory that keeps its values even when power goes out, thus settings will never be lost. This new low-cost system is designed to be the utmost in reliability in maintaining the ultimate health of your special animal. The system even has built-in fault checking that will let you know if the temperature probe is damaged.
- Installation is very simple and fool-proof with the new "One-Piece" construction
- The new LED display is highly visible from across the room—even at night.
- This system is expandable with many of Helix Controls’ accessories, such as the Day-Night Photocell or 24 Hour Timer for dropping the temperature at night, Lighting Controllers, or even Power Modules to increase heater capacity.
- The display has a resolution of 1.0 degrees Farenheight, but the internal resolution is calculated to 0.25 degrees Farenheight.
- The remote probe is standard at 5 ft. long with a 0.3 inch max diameter for easy setup. Custom length probes can be ordered.

The Helix control system Thermostat is by far the best thermostat I have ever used. The precision of this device is outstanding.
When I began using my helix on with my incubator, my hatch rate increased to almost 100% success. Although this product is what I would consider "overkill" for use with a rack system, I strongly recommend to anyone incubating eggs that require exact temperatures to hatch properly to use a HELIX if possible.

This is a nice solidly built and easy to use proportional thermostat. I have had mine for about 6 years and it runs like a champ. I have even used it to control the temperature of an incubator when I was raising leopard geckos.
I love the fact you can easily replace the temp sensor if it gets damaged
