Attention Helix Owners

[Wild Bill]

Can someone please tell me what the error code EE and E3 stand for? I have a used Helix that I purchased last year and it is giving me those Error Codes. Does anyone have a book that came with their thermostat or a link to an internet site with the info?

E3 is invalid day and night temps, has to be between 65-110


EE is probe disconnected or damaged.

Thanks Vaughn!!!!

Thats really confusing though. It still is giving me a temp reading, so the probe is working. Plus the temp settings are correct and it is keeping the temps right where they are supposed to be. The little red light is staying on and it gives me those codes when I hit the button.

Typcially, EE and E3 together mean that the controller temporarily lost communication with the probe ... I've had it happen when I've placed oil filled heaters too close the the racks and jacked the ambient temps up around the probe way too high ... the Helix will continue to work, but the red light stays on until you clear it so that you know there was a problem.

This being the only Helix I have, is there a trick to resetting it? I have unplugged the unit and plugged it back in about 10 minutes later also and it didn't work.

Hold the button down until it clears.

I went and tried it, didn't work.

Call Helix - he'll send you out something to plug into the bottom to re-set it. I had the same thing. No charge for it, I don't know if I know where I put it now! LOL
