The DBS-1000 is an Advanced Temperature Control System for accurate and stable temperature regulation. The DBS-1000 is a key component in providing for the ultimate health and comfort of your animals 24 hours a day.
Simple and Easy to use, “Program” or “Check” the desired temperature set points using just one button.
Desired temperature Set Point values are saved, even if the AC power is interrupted. Second temperature set point accessible with optional triggering device.
Highly Visible LED display always shows the current probe temperature. Can be seen from across the room or in the dark.
Advanced “Smart” Software customizes and constantly updates a new heating profile (Algorithm) for each and every set- up configuration, providing the most accurate and stable temperature control possible.
Internal self-checking system monitors 8 points for problems, provides error codes to assist trouble-shooting.
An internal fuse is provided to protect the system against accidental overloading, but more importantly it protects your animals and property. Safety fail safe circuits and software ensure safe, reliable performance.
Customer replaceable 48” Probe, less that 0.25” sensor diameter. Probes up to 12’ are available by special order.
Highest Quality UL listed and “Industrial Grade” components are used for unsurpassed reliability, even under extreme temperature conditions. R.O.H.S Compliant (Lead Free), 100% solid state, and proudly made in the USA.
The DBS-1000 is backed by an industry-leading 7 Year “Parts and Labor” Warranty. (See instructions for details). Low Cost Factory Repair and Re-certification is always available for all Helix Control’s Products.
Measures and controls temperatures safely, with the accuracy and dependability you have come to expect from Helix Controls, LLC.
DBS-1000 with STANDARD CORDS:
The DBS-1000 thermostat with standard cords (2 prong) is the option most widely used by pet owners, as most commonly used heat sources do not have a grounded power cord and therefore don’t require grounded cords on the thermostat.
DBS-1000 with GROUNDED CORDS:
The DBS-1000 thermostat with grounded cords (3 prong) is typically used for any heat source with a grounded power cord. The grounded cord option is primarily used with metal racks that utilize a heating device comprised of Mylar heat tape wrapped in aluminum or sheet metal. Also, some cages and rack systems use a heat cable with a grounded power cord.
NIGHT DROP TRIGGER DEVICES:
Used for simulating a drop in temperature at night. Every DBS-1000 has a two temperature capability, with full set-point range for each mode. All that is needed is a night-drop trigger device. We offer the following two types;
The “Photo Electric Control Module” which changes the Temperature set-point according to light changes.
The “Appliance Timer Adapter Cord” which changes the set point according to the programmed time, using a Customer Supplied Appliance Timer.
DIGITAL TEMPERATURE PROBES:
The Helix DBS-1000 has a customer replaceable probe that is made with a digital sensor instead of a Thermistor. Helix Digital sensor offers superior safety features. They are never able to wander or be inaccurate due to probe conductor damage which can cause a Thermistor based control system to overheat or under heat intermittently.
Note 1: The “2021 Black Connector Plug Probes with 2021 Software/E-prom,” will replace any Early (Pre 2021) “White Connector plug Probes”, OR even Earlier “Red Connector Plug Probes”. And, when switching to Black Connector Plug Probes, it will require a New Updated E-Prom/Software to be swapped in. We offer options for New 2021 Replacement Probes with, or without, New Software/E-Proms. Any DBS-1000 with a “Black Plug Probe” already has the newer 2021 software package.
Note 2: If your Pre-2021 DBS-1000 needs a DBS-1000 Replacement Temperature Probe, and you don’t feel comfortable swapping 28 pin E-Proms by yourself, Helix will perform all the updates, E-Prom and Probe installations free of Labor charges. Return postage to send it back to you, and New Replacement Probe and E-Prom cost, is all we need to arrange and collect.
Note 3: As an added service, we will also at the same time upgrade any interior components that require upgrading to be at current production component standards. These “internal upgrades” parts and labor are completed for free.
Acrylic stand:
The Helix Acrylic Stand is angled approximately 10° and can be mounted to angle back for lower cages, or forward for mounting on cages at eye-level or above.
Note: Each New DBS-1000 system comes with an Acrylic Stand.
Additional Acrylic Stands $4.64
