Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Can the 80-L be stacked three high with the shelves in full use?

A: You may be able to stack the Rugged Electronic Dry Cabinet at your own discretion. However, it is recommended to put a ¾ or 1” piece of plywood between each unit, and possibly create a frame to support the units.

Q: 2. Can this unit be used in an outdoor (covered) environment?

A: I live near the Atlantic Ocean where any metal object left exposed to outdoor air will rust. Considering the cost of the unit you are purchasing, I would keep it in a temperature controlled area inside.

Q: 3. What are the dimensions, height, width, and depth?

A: Height: 17.638 in. Depth:15.748 in. Length: 59.055 in.

Q: 4. How is humidity removed from the air? Is there a pan which needs to be emptied? What maintenance is required?

A: The device uses a solid state Peltier junction - this device gets cold on one side and hot on the other side when current is applied. In this case the cold side is inside of the cabinet and the hot side is on the outside of the cabinet with the large heat sink. You will also notice that there are openings on the hot side and you can see a sponge. Moisture from the inside of the cabinet is condensed onto the cold side of the cooler and drips into a tray. The sponge wicks the moisture out of the cabinet and evaporates it using the heat from the hot side to assist. It is an elegant solution for a small volume of air - no moving parts.

Q: 5. I've read reviews that say there's no ground, which means there could be a problem with static electricity in the cabinet. Is there a solution for this?

A: While we have not received complaints from customers regarding issues with static electricity with these units, if you are looking for a cabinet for use with items sensitive to static electricity such as motherboards, computer chips and components, etc., I would recommend purchasing a cabinet designed for this specific usage. If you are using the cabinet to store camera equipment and accessories, there should not be an issue, but you may view a few of the other replies from posters who have listed common techniques often recommended as suitable for controlling issues with static.

Q: 9. Hello, is it possible to check one of this in a flight? would there be any kind of restriction besides dimensions and weight?
