Protect cameras, lenses, photographic and optical equipment, mobile electronics, and other valuables from excessive moisture, dirt, and dust with the Ruggard EDC-125LC Electronic Dry Cabinet. The cabinet's fast-acting TE Cooling Wafer regulates the interior's relative humidity from 60-35% to help prevent fungus and corrosion that can damage delicate gear and other sensitive materials. Humidity adjustments take place over a 1- to 3-hour period.

The large LCD screen displays ambient temperature (in Fahrenheit or Celsius) and the relative humidity. The cabinet is gasket-sealed to maintain humidity levels.

The door features a three-digit combination lock to keep the cabinet contents safe and secure and to prevent unauthorized access to your equipment. The easy-to-use combination lock allows you to set a three-digit combination with over 900 possible combinations.

The Electronic Dry Cabinet has no fan or compressor to make noise, so it provides silent operation. It is also dripless, eliminating the need for a messy water tray that requires draining. The cabinet is powered by an included multi-voltage power supply.

Q: 1. Can you switch door opening direction from right to left?

A: No, you would not be able to switch the direction of the door.

Q: 2. Is there a better solution? General Comment - perhaps a better solution... I believe that consistent humidity and temperature levels are important, so here’s my suggestion: use a good dehumidifier(s) in your home (Eg, I use a newer model GE that is energy star rated), which does a great job of keeping the ambient humidity around 38%. This has lots of benefits, including reducing the strain of an HVAC system and keeping the system and duct work relatively moisture free. Then buy a good Gun Safe (AMSEC is a good brand, but there are many) with a dial lock (avoid electronic locks which can fail...). A good safe will have a power outlet inside which you can connect a dehumidifying rod to and keep a humidity gauge inside. A fire rated safe is also recommended; minimum of 60 minutes. Store all your most important valuables, including video gear, wills, passwords book, etc inside and sleep well at night. Gun safes are affordable and come in lots of sizes. You’ll want to pay a reputable firm to deliver and install the safe. I’ve also read that when taking video gear outside, if there’s a big difference in temperature/humidity, that placing the gear in a sealed bag to allow the gear to come to a matching temperature sans condensation is recommended. I’d love to read anyone’s thoughts or experiences along these lines...always looking for best practices. Cheers. Chad K.

A: While the solutions you list above may also work, unfortunately, we do not offer any of the other solutions, and the Ruggard Electronic Dry Cabinet (50L) would be an option we carry that would be compatible and would maintain the temperature/humidity control to the equipment inside the unit. It is true that moving from indoors to outdoors when there is a large difference in temperature/humidity can cause condensation to form on your equipment, and keeping the item in a sealed plastic bag while the inside/outside temperatures equalize would reduce the condensation occurrence on your equipment.

Q: 3. I purchased the 125L and the door handle was installed inside the cabinet? Was this on purpose?

A: I just read the Ruggard online manual that said some of their dry cabinets are shipped with the handle installed inside and to use a screwdriver to remove it and install it outside but to avoid over- tightening the screws when you do.

Q: 4. Have had this unit for about a week. Very nicely built unit but the inside has a "plastic" smell - almost like a styrofoam cup smell. Has anyone else had this and does it go away ? I am concerned it is off gassing that might get on lenses.

A: The plastic smell in the Ruggard EDC-80L Electronic Dry Cabinet (80L, Black) BH #RUEDC80L is common and it goes away with time. You can keep the cabinet open for a couple of days and the smell would go away. The smell will not effect lenses.

Q: 5. Will a d850 with a 500mm pf fit in the 80l

A: Yes, the Nikon D850 DSLR Camera and the Nikon AF-S NIKKOR 500mm f/5.6E PF ED VR Lens may be stored inside the Ruggard EDC-FP90L Electronic Dry Cabinet with Fingerprint Lock (90L) and the Ruggard EDC-80L Electronic Dry Cabinet (80L), B&H # RUEDC80L.

Q: 6. Would love to get one, but reluctant as a robber would find a gold mine starring at him, how do you handle that thought?

A: That's what insurance is for. If you have a robber in your house, you've probably got bigger issues to worry about anyway.

Q: 7. I live in Florida and therefore when I take my camera outside it fogs up. If I use this, would it also warm it to at least 80° so there is not such a differential between Air Condition room and the outside?

A: No, this doesn't have a heater element to it, just a dehumidifier effect. It does basically keep the same temperature as the interior room it's placed in. For example: I live in Hawaii and the non-air conditioned room my Ruggard is in is currently 84 degrees F and 79% humidity. Inside the Ruggard unit itself, it says it's 82 degreees F and 42% humidity. So the temperature is basically the same, but the humidity level is drastically reduced of course. I understand what you are aiming for by preventing fog - one idea would be to place the Ruggard in an area where the air conditioning isn't used such as a Garage. If that's not an option, could go down the path of jimmy rigging the unit with a very small plug in heating coil device and fishing the cord out of a hole drilled into the back or peel away just enough padding from the door edge to fish it through. This COULD be a fire hazard so I would suggest finding the exact proper heating coil that's well insulated, and putting in small digital portable temperature display unit to keep an eye on the heat temperature/consistency.

Q: 8. Is this product certified UL, C/UL/US, CSA or ETL Intertek?

A: This product is CE marking certified indicating conformity with health, safety, and environmental protection standards. The CE marking is the manufacturer's declaration that the product meets the requirements of the applicable EC directives. This marking is visible on the sticker in the product photo of the back side of the dry cabinet (photo 5).

Q: 9. What us the max current draw in amps @ 120Volt AC?

A: Unfortunately, the manufacturer was only able to supply the wattage which is 8 watts at 120VAC.

Q: 10. Can you use this to dry out 3D filament?

A: Yes this should help to dry out 3D filament as well as camera equiptment.
