We use an APC unit but it does not do so well with our Helix DBS 1000. Error messages occur randomly and we have to press the reset often. We were thinking of changing to a Ranco, but Ranco is not proportional and not really a good thermostat for an incubator.

We would welcome any comments or suggestions. However, here in our rural North Florida weather with thunderstorms and lots of lightning....we are thankful to have a generator to power up when the power goes off. The incubator seems to maintain the 89 degree temp we have it set for even through many hours of no power....and even with consecutive error messages!
