Hi
I'm using OCTOPUS drybox
Before this humidity reading maintained somewhere around 45-55% but since past few days it jump to 80%
Nothing has been set or relocated, or block the back of the drybox
Anyone facing this problem ?
Thx

My Aipo drybox facing this problem at least 2-3 weeks already, previously maintain around 45%, now around 50-60%, cant go below 50%.... dunno is bcoz the humidity really too high??

feel the cooling fins at the back of the box.. it should be warm... a sign it is working..

Some dry box use open loop control so the reading can be wrong.

Warm but a little only... How to define the "true" warm ?
Any other humidity tools/gadgets I can use to read my drybox humidity w/out a need to rely on the existing reading ?

Mine warm too~~~!!! but, haiz.... still cant go below 50...

The unit is broken/not working obviously. 80% is like room humidity. 90% during rainy days.

The sponge in the TE dislocated, hence can't fully transfer the moisture out.
You can either send it for repair if underwarranty. Or repair yourself by opening the TE unit from the back.

Ok bro, will bring back to the shop...
Thx

Hey bro, Thanks for reminding me abt the sponge~~~!! Jz now I open up the back cover and clean up the water and realign the sponge now my Drybox back to normal de THanks ya~~~

You are welcome. I used to help ppl service and repair drybox in my area

Maybe I should try also...

Yeah u should~~~!!! It is as simple as ABC but with great result~~!!

Hmmm... I think mine not usable aldy...
The green sponge looks need to be replaced...
Where can I buy it ? Pudu Plaza ?

U try to put on some water it will expend~~!! haha...

no, not the BIG one, the small piece, like really small, 1-2cm long, 2-3mm wide only...

usually if its spoil, it become rotten
then u cut off a small piece from the big piece to replace it.

even the sponge is dislocated, the RH wont goes up to 80, it only maintain at 50-55%RH...

as for temperature, it doesnt affect your RH (actually it will, but its very physic stuff)... u can have 10degree with 45%RH or at 50degree with 45%RH, it doesnt matter where your RH is main priority.

for RH that goes up to 80% mean the TE is not working at all.

Problem solved after Mr Tony from digitalsmania replaced the faulty fuse inside... with FOC some more...
