I bought an Andbon 155L dry cabinet, but it didn’t include a manual. I’m trying to understand what the LCD display and buttons mean in normal/idle mode. When I press the temperature button, it shows the temperature, and when I press the humidity button, it shows the relative humidity. What does the number shown on the LCD mean in normal operation, and how are the buttons typically used?

I am not sure if this helps!!
I have purchased the 68L which provides a digital read-out of the RH% and Temperature. There are three control buttons UP DOWN and SET.
When I press the UP button (temp check) it will indicate the temperature in deg C and at the same time switch the LEDs inside the chambers. If I press the UP button again the LEDs switch OFF.
When I press the DOWN button (humidity check) it will indicate the current RH% in the chamber.
When I press the SET button, I can actually set the minimum RH% I need inside the chamber with the UP or DOWN buttons.
I have checked the digital readout and the RH% appears to be accurate but the temperature is not quite accurate.
However, I am not very happy with this dry cabinet as it keeps switching ON and OFF very quickly to set the correct RH%.
I also have a WONDERFUL [https://www.google.lk/search?q=wonderful+dry+cabinet+ad-040c&client=firefox-a&hs=DoG&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=etkeUrXvKqOCiQff0ICQDg&ved=0CDgQsAQ&biw=1453&bih=763] dry cabinet which has a fairly accurate RH% reading and I prefer this model as it does not come ON and OFF so regularly. The principal of drying method is better and more economical.
I store camera equipment inside both dry cabinets and I have set the RH to 45%

Generated from our catalog & community — verify before relying on it.
Based on the community answer, the LCD on Andbon dry cabinets typically shows the current chamber status, with buttons used to check or set values.
Typical operation appears to be:
- UP / temperature check: shows the cabinet temperature in °C. On at least one model, it also toggles the internal LED light on/off.
- DOWN / humidity check: shows the current relative humidity (RH%) inside the cabinet.
- SET: enters the humidity setting mode so you can choose your target/minimum RH using the UP and DOWN buttons.
So in normal use, the main number on the display is most likely the cabinet’s current or target humidity setting, depending on whether you are just viewing status or adjusting it.
Because Andbon models can vary, the exact display behavior on your 155L may not be identical to the 68L described, but the controls are likely very similar. If the display changes only when you press the buttons, that suggests the default screen is showing the main monitored value, usually RH%.
