Help please?

Hi Everyone,

I am going to buy a hova bato-HOVA-BATOR Model # 1602N. I know OG has one but my question is how would I convert the tempreture control they have to a thermostat. I saw pictures on how you change the tempreture. But I want to make it digital so it is easier to monitor and control the average tmepreture.


Thanks,

David

I believe you should be able to buy a herpstat and plug the incubator into that. You would place the probe from the herpstat inside the hovabator to regulate the temp.

So the herpstat will become the new control center for the hova-bator?

anyone else??

That's right. You need to get a proportional thermostat like a herpstat. This thermostat will then control the incubator. If you get a proportional thermostat that doesn't have a digital read-out, you'll also need to get a digital thermometer with a probe, put that probe next to the thermostat probe and check your temperatures that way. The purpose of the proportional thermostat is not really to show you the temperature digitally; you can do that with a digital thermometer. It is to better control the temperature in your hobovator since the thermostat it comes with does not do such a good job.
