Can this run multiple enclosures? I have 5 of the exact enclosures all with ball pythons. I’m looking for a way to control all radiant heat panels with one unit. This seems to be the only option that has 5+ plugs. But nowhere does it say it can do multiple enclosures. Is this what I need?
Its really based on the amount of watts your going to need to handle. A Herpstat 6 can do 400 watts per outlet plugged into it. So if each enclosure fell below 400 watts and you had six enclosures, the Herpstat 6 could take care of all of them. My ARS enclosure uses 4" wide flexwatt heat tape @ 8 watts per foot. 4.5 feet = 36 watts per level. If you were using an ARS rack (for example) and had 10 levels, that would be a total of 360 watts. Hope that helps answer your question. Take a look at this video here that I did on power requirements. ua-cam.com/video/HKEhC80AJ1s/v-deo.html
Ok perfect! The heat panels are 150 watts each! So sounds like I found my winner for a control system that could do them all. I haven’t seen any others on the market that could do 5-6 at the same time. I definitely didn’t want to have to buy a thermostat for each. Thanks for taking the time to reply!
Just ordered the herpstat 6 for my 8x4x4
I love mine. I did not mention it but their customer service is great as well. I had a small problem early on and they took care of it quickly.
Just ordered the herpstat 6 for a 6x3x3.
Your going to love it if peace of mind is your thing. 😃
