Figure 4:  Maximum Chamber Humidity vs. Temperature 

When operating the chamber below 70°F, small amount of condensation inside the chamber is possible 
when the humidity inside the chamber is above 80%RH.  As the chamber tries to increase humidity, it pumps 
warm vapor into the chamber.  At the same time, it tries to control the temperature, causing the 
temperature control fins to cool and fall below the dew point.  This causes condensation on the fins.  Small 
amount of condensation will not harm the chamber, but will prevent humidity increasing above the limits 
shown in Figure 4.  Any condensation can be wiped off with a paper towel. 

Make sure not to touch the sensor assembly at the top of the chamber when wiping off condensation. 

Watlow PM PLUS Controllers 

The H300P unit uses the Watlow PM PLUS controllers.  The controller User’s Manual has been provided with 
the H300P chamber.  In general you should not need to reference this manual, unless you are setting up a 
profile. 

The summary of the PM PLUS front panel controls are shown below
