Ruggard-EDC-230L-Electronic-Dry-Cabinet-PRODUCT

THANK YOU FOR CHOOSING RUGGARD The Ruggard Electronic Dry Cabinet protects your lenses, photographic and optical equipment, mobile electronics, and other valuable accessories from excessive moisture. Using the cabinet’s fast-acting TE Cooling Wafer, you can regulate the interior’s relative humidity to help prevent fungus and corrosion from damaging your gear. The cabinet offers silent operation with no fan or compressor, and the unit is dripless, so there’s no need for a water tray. The glass door and rubber seal provide extra protection against dust or airborne debris, keeping your gear working great for years.

SETTING AND CHECKING HUMIDITY

The relative humidity setting regulates the entire cabinet interior. You can set the relative humidity percentage from 25% to 60%*, and it adjusts fully within 1 to 3 hours. The inside humidity can be decreased, but you cannot increase the humidity more than the surrounding environment. Keep the door closed to ensure optimal humidity levels.

Press the [SET] button twice until the humidity display (blue) begins to flash.
Use the [ ] and [ ] buttons to set the desired relative humidity value.
Press the [SET] button to confirm the settings.

Verify the target humidity by pressing the [] button. The display will show the target value for two seconds before returning to the actual humidity level reading. The Electronic Dry Cabinet functions only within 25% to 60% relative humidity, even if you set the value outside that range.

Note: Do not place the rear of the cabinet directly against a wall or other surface. This may reduce the operational efficiency. Keep the door closed to prevent the humidity from increasing inside the cabinet

SETTING TEMPERATURE DISPLAY

When the unit is initially turned on, the displayed temperature will be in degrees Celsius. Press and hold the [FC/SET] button for three seconds to change to Fahrenheit and vice versa.

Note : This unit does not control temperature
