Help on Digi Cabi HD-40

[Taurean]

Can anyone share your settings on the above mention model?

I set the nob to 9 o clock position and the RH matain at ard 57-60 without anything in it.

 

[chengsing]

try to keep it within 45-55% would be good..

at 9 oclock it gives me 50% tho i used the diff model :sweat:

since 9oclock only give you ard 60% you can try turning it to 11 or 12 oclock

 

[Taurean]

Tried before various settings but seems that the 9 o'clock position is the most effective, if turn to 11-12 o'clock position the RH seems to increase. :dunno:

weird... if im not wrong all analog digi-cabi series give lesser rH when turned clock wise.

:think: I've set to the 10 O'Clock position for now. Will monitor over the next 24 Hrs

Thanks for the advise

The Dri cabbi manual also recomend 45-55% for photographic equipments, so i blindly just follow the recomendation :dunno:

Digi-Cabi recommendation is 40-50% RH for photographic equipments. Just follow the manufacturer who already done the research for it. Read the manual.

I put mine on 44% RH.

for me anywhere between 45-50%....yeah have to monitor the humidity levels and adjust accordingly...will take at least couple of days to stabilize (assuming the dry cabi is not opened within this period)...

When in doubt call the digihub they should be able to give you precise answer and setting.

 

[Taurean]

Now my digi cab maintains at 45% RH with the knob at 10 O'Clock position.

Thank you all for the advise..

Now i can 安心了, set it to 42%RH...

1 more question..any place that sells the stand-alone humidity meter analog type?
Feel like placing one more meter for backup..the digital one doesn't looks accurate to me..

 

[longkangman]

Forgotten which shop I last bought mine but go sim lim tower and ask around.

Most of the time, cheapo analog meters are the ones which are inaccurate. Do the moist salt test to test your meter's accuracy. Be sure to use a nylon bag instead of a plastic bag for better sealing.
