    Homemade Cabinet Incubator Thermostat & Humidity Options

    Chatter has nothing to do with the load. You are lucky with yours. The chatter problem is widely discussed with this units. When I used the STC1000 last year my swings were over 1 degree C and my hatches were a failure. I'm pretty happy with the performance now that I have the light dimmer...

    Homemade Cabinet Incubator Thermostat & Humidity Options

    At day 6 into the test run the controller started to behave erratically and would start doing 5-8 degree C high temperature excursions. The eggs are obviously dead at this point. I was also using a WH8040 humidity controller that uses relay outputs. When the WH8040 reaches the turn-off point...

    I finally got my PT100 RTD today, hooked it up and found a new problem. When I set the number of decimal places to 1, I was limited to +/- 10 degrees C for the setpoint. I worked around this by setting the SC setting (calibration offset) to -37.5 (-99.5 degrees C) and put the setpoint to 0. I...

    I solved the problem with the WH8040. I backed down on the output controls on the humidifier until I could no longer see steam. Now it cycles just fine. I bought an Avianweb Digital Mini Instant-Read Temperature & Humidity Gauge Thermometer (Hygrometer). This is pretty cheap and acurate and...

    Homemade Cabinet Incubator Thermostat & Humidity Options

    I know this is an old thread, but I am making a test run using the WH8040 to control a humidifier. It appears to have a pretty big flaw when using it to control a cool mist humidifier in an incubator. If the sensor comes in contact with the mist it becomes highly inaccurate in the low direction...
