what value should I set Digi-cabi humidity?

[luenny]

I don't know which brand you are using. Mine's digi cabi 30L. I set the position to round 11 - 12 o'clock position and get around 40-45% humidity.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the prompt replies.

Mine is also digi cabi.

Hi Simon, lower setting is left or right? The manual really didnt say anything.

[Simon]

should be in the red area

Ok. Will go home and take a look. Thanks.

[luenny]

Lower setting is left, higher setting is right. If you look at the led light at the knob, the more you turn to the left, the dimmer it gets and vice versa.

Likely to be spoilt. All things being equal, shouldn't be room RH of 77% after 8 hours.

[zenscape]

Ok, an update. Went home and read 49% RH. I guess the set is fine now

Thought I got a lemon and tough luck. But my dial still looks weird. The green is 3/4 and red 1/4. But so long it is working, I am happy. Thanks for all the advice.

Mine's 56% so still tweaked it a little.

[zenscape]

Thanks, I have 'aim' it to hover around 55%.

update, my digi cabi 30L has been hovering at 46% for the past weeks.
so I guess it's stable.

mine curently is unstable, move up slowly until 60% before I turn the knob. Maybe because of raining for the past few days

Just a thought, what is the difference between a 300-500 dollars dry cabi compared to a 100 dollar one?

Let me try! Let me try!




Price?

maybe close loop system? Maybe automatically adjust itself to get the selected RH value

[luenny]

Mine is hovering around 44% so I lower the power. Yesterday it went to 43%. Well, not gonna touch it anymore.

I heard from snapclub members that below 50% RH will crack plastic and leather items such as leather cover for your flash etc. Had anyone experienced this? Sounds logic to me as it will be too dry at this level.

I guess is the brand, size, and country.

Snapclub?

Some say 45-55% is good, some say below 50% is no good some say 40-50% is good. Who knows? I'm sticking to the 40-50% range.

by the way, did you put your flash, lenspen, blower and other non-lense non camera stuff inside as well?
