Introduction The H300 is a simple to use, versatile temperature / humidity chamber. Its super compact design allows it to be placed on any table top. Its solid state design means low noise and low power operation. The solid state design also removes the need for user maintenance other that refilling water and desiccant.
Improper modifications to these setup values can result in erratic performance and unreliable operation. Do not attempt to modify the setup values, unless you thoroughly understand what you are doing. If there is any doubt, please contact the Folyon Technologies before proceeding.
Make sure the unplug the chamber before filling or emptying water. Setup Before the H300 can be used, it needs to have sufficient water and desiccant for proper operation. The chamber comes from the factory with the desiccant preloaded, but without any water.

The desiccant is the drying agent of the H300 chamber. The recommended desiccant is the Regular Drierite 8 mesh desiccant. The H300 comes preloaded with fresh desiccant. When the desiccant is fresh, it is blue. As the desiccant gets used up, it turns red. When the desiccant is all red, it should be replaced.

To replace the desiccant follow the procedure below. • Turn off and unplug the H300 chamber. • Remove the desiccant reservoir by gently spreading the holder clamps and pulling the reservoir away from the back of the chamber. As you pull the two connector hoses will extend.
Principles of Operation The H300 temperature humidity chamber controls the humidity by circulating the air inside the chamber through the desiccant to decrease humidity, or through a water vapor chamber to increase humidity.
(above 75%RH) at high temperatures (above 90°F, 32°C), you may have to wait for the water in the reservoir to heat up. Note that the water in the reservoir will warm up whenever the H300 is ON, even if the CONT switch is turned to OFF.
Watlow EZ-ZONE PM Controllers The H300 unit uses the Watlow EZ-ZONE PM controllers. The controller User’s Manual has been provided with the H300 chamber. In general you should not need to reference this manual, unless you are setting up a profile.

For the relative humidity controller there are no changes to controller default parameters. For the temperature controller, each H300 chamber is supplied with its own set of Linearization Menu settings. These settings are included in a document on the CD that comes with each chamber.

Control Loop Menu Most of the parameters in the Control Loop Menu are specific to each H300 chamber. Each H300 chamber is supplied with its own set Control Loop Menu settings. These settings are included in a document on the CD that comes with each chamber.
Humidity does not decrease 1. Desiccant is used up (red). Make sure some of the desiccant in the fast enough desiccant reservoir is blue. 2. Condensation in the chamber. 3. The chamber door is not properly sealed. Page 13 H300 Temperature Humidity Chamber...
