CHE with dimmer

I have a CHE and a UTH for my bp and the uth is regulated with a thermostat and the Che with a dimmer but I’m not 100 percent sure how to set the dimmer to the right setting I was just wondering how you guys use them? My temps stay in the right range for hot and cold side and ambient temps but I was wondering as the ambient temps in the house go up how to keep them regulated with the dimmer or would I not have to use the Che if the ambient room temps reach the right temperature. Sorry this is a lot of questions in one post

I would use a laser thermometer to take temps of the surfaces directly below the CHE and then adjust the dial down to where the surface temps are 95 or less, and make sure the coolest ambient air temps in the enclosure are around 77-80F

A dimmer will not stop the ambient temp in the enclosure from changing as the house ambient changes. Either regulate the ambient temp in the house so it doesn't change and then set the dimmer, or control the CHE with a thermostat and let the house ambient temperature swing.
