toxicogenic Oct 05, 2009 09:02 PM

hey everyone..this is going to be my first breeding season and i bought a rack system from a local a few months ago. i have the timer for the temp drops and i figured out how to hook it up. i just don't know how to set up the helix for the cooler temp. it's the appliance timer adapter cord. can anyone help me out? i found the instructions on the helix site but..im still a little confused lol. thanks in advance..

Helix would be glad to explain it.

It is simply two different temp settings. Don't think of it as a night drop, just two different temps. One temp with the cord having voltage, one temp with the cord not having voltage. Either way can be the high or the low temp. If you have the cord plugged in to your lighting timer for the room, you would want the higher temp to be when the appliance cord has voltage applied during the day time. Simple huh, Mike

i get that part. what i'm trying to figure out is how to put the specific temperature i want it to be at when it goes off. does that make sense? i hope i'm not confusing..
