What if I put it at 0% or 97% relative humidity, will it break the hygrometer, or is it just not-measurable?

I have used these within the range of about 10 - 98% RH. No problem. I don't think it will break and it will definitely measure.

I don't think so. I have it in a bedroom with the door closed and I can't get it to get above 35 % humidity. The bedroom has new windows, ceilings are 10 feet. I want to love this, but no matter what setting I do, it won't get me the optimum humidity.

dear God return it if you can!!! I keep mine on 50-55% humidity. Not a temp. but a percentage of humidity. bad designed product, I exchanged mine 3 times in the last 3 years at home depot.....

Mine for some reason is doing the opposite. I have mine all the way up on 7 and with the cold weather here, I'm lucky to get 30% humidity readings upstairs.Any suggestions experts?

I have a caliber IV hygrometer for a humidor which performs very well. To calibrate mine I followed the instructions and removed the activator tab.

You should turn the humidity setting down using the arrow keys. I set my @ 30%.

You can not set the thermometer. You can adjust the humidity using a dial on the top. It just allows more or less humidity, but can not be set to a specific value. We have a separate hydrometer in another room that gives us an exact measurement. If it goes below 30% we adjust the Essick for more humidity, and if the hydrometer goes above 35%, we adjust the Essick for less.

You'll figure it out quickly if condensation is on your windows...it will mean the humidity is too much. I don't know the exact number.

No, you can not adjust the humidity level. There is a sensor in the unit that sets the humidity output based on temperature and the amount of humidity already in the air.

Sorry I'm late on the response! You can set the humidity level right on top of the unit.. I leave mine at 45% because I have a damp basement that stays very cool but humid if I didn't answer the question you were asking please let me know thanks for asking my opinion Pete

sorry, i'm not sure i'm going to be much help on this one. we have ours in a group exercise room that hovers around 70-80 degrees. we are a very dry climate (desert-like in southern california), so we don't experience ANY humidity in the room in which the clock is housed. it's a very sturdy clock and has been wonderful to have. it works GREAT for what we need---we needed something that had a "second clock" on it so we could time intervals in our exercise classes. so, good luck--i'm not sure i'm of much help--so sorry!

It has a single probe that measures temperature and relative humidity. It will not do what you want - measure temperature in 2 places.

We live in Humid East Texas and I have it set to 50%. It removes extra humidity by running a couple of degrees past the set cooling temp. The cooler temp is noticeable when it is in the cycle. Whether it will achieve your Ideal depends on your home, system and local weather conditions. It is not a dehumidifier. It's a nice thermostat with practical features.

if you have it on full power, make sure you check directly underneath the humidifier. if this area is wet, then the air in the room is already saturated, and you should run the humidifier at a lower setting. if its still dry, your water vapor should be dispersing itself on its own

You would not know that it's on unless you look at your humidity gauge that should read between 35-50%. You can not feel air coming from the unit, but you will feel light heat within the safe. The unit will be warm.

I have a gauge that detects humidity in the house and it changes when I run the humidifier, plus there is less static electricity in the air. No vapor because it's cold air. No condensation because it has an automatic shut off feature when it reaches the level of humidity that you preset.

Yes, you can adjust the humidity range down to 40%, but the lower you set it, the more the air unit will run, and it still may not ever get to your specified level depending on conditions in your home. As was said elsewhere, it is not a dehumidifier, but it does a good job of making our muggy Alabama air more comfortable. I have ours set at 55%.
