INSTRUCTIONS FOR EASY ASSEMBLING AND CONNECTION OF AUTOMATIC HUMIDITY
The air humidification inside the incubator is performed by a special humidifier (ultrasound nebulizer) which uses ultrasound technology to
atomize water & create a smoke effect without changing the operating temperature.
ULTRASOUND NEBULIZER ASSEMBLING AND PREPARATION
Remove the ultrasound nebulizer by its carton box and place it on a flat level surface next to the incubator.
Remove the humidifier plastic tank and fill it with water and then place it again up to plastic base.
Connect the air injection pipe to the humidifier inserting the plastic disk fitted part on the humidifier column exit steam introducing then the
opposite part of the same pipe for at least 2-3 cm inside the special dedicated intake predisposed on the incubator.
OPERATION
Plug the humidifier power socket to the power outlet socket positioned on the control panel back side and switch on the humidifier by selec-
ting the option "ON" on the main switch ON/OFF.
Adjust the steam injection flow intensity by the control knob on the frontal part of the humidifier. Generally it's enough to keep the dial set to
60/70% but in case the settled humidity percentage is not reached than we suggest to turn the knob to maximum position.
A red light on the humidifier will warn about water shortage on the tank.
The ultrasound nebulizer is driven by the LCD control panel. After the above mentioned steps for connecting the instrument it's necessary to
set up the required humidity value in order to allow the nebulizer automatic activation at each request of air humidification coming from the
LCD thermostat.
IMPORTANT:
• The humidifier shall be disconnected from any power outlet when filling the tank, during displacement and during cleaning
• The humidifier shall not be used without water, if there is no water in the tank switch the humidifier off.
• Do not fill the humidifier tank with any other liquid than water, do not add medicines and do not cover any opening
• Do not use it outdoors.
USE AND CALIBRATION
- Before using the machine, remember to clean it carefully inside and outside, as shown in paragraph no. 5;
- When the incubator is supplied with manual humidity control manage to fill the plastic water dish in endowment with tepid and preferably
distilled water in order to generate the required humidity, and place it then on the bottom of the machine below the hatching basket. In case
of incubators equipped with automatic humidity management it's necessary to follow the instructions contained on the next paragraph.
- To switch the machine on, connect the electric plug into the wall outlet, push the master switch O/I and before loading the eggs, wait until
the incubator has reached the working temperature of 37.7°C (99, 7°F).
- The inside lighting of the machine is by an incandescent lamp activated by the switch placed on the control panel; remember to switch off
the light while the machine is in operation.
- Take out the setting trays and place the eggs into setting tray with the points downwards
temperature of 99.7°F, introduce the trays into the machine with the eggs positioned correctly
the trays fully into the splits of the egg-turner bar; the egg turning device will be activated automatically when the machine is switched on.
IMPORTANTE: Two days before hatching, remember to remove the eggs from the setting trays into the hatching basket.
LOAD EGGS STORED NOT MORE THAN 7-8 DAYS AND NOT LESS THAN 3 DAYS FROM LAYING.
BEFORE INCUBATION, THE EGGS MUST BE STORED IN A LOCATION WITH TEMPERATURE BETWEEN 14 – 16 °C.
For the models equipped with ANALOGUE THERMOSTAT MOD. ELTP1
The thermostat, placed on the unit top, has been set-up by the factory and indicates when the machine is working (the led power results
lighted). The continuous or intermittent lighting of the led – ON – points out the heating activation.
Check that the set temperature on the thermostat dial agrees with the reading on the alcohl thermometer inside the incubator. If necessary,
adjust the set temperature slightly by using a screwdriver in the central white screw on the thermostat box until the thermometer reads 99,7°F.
It's important to check the temperature on the thermometer in the incubator.
If the temperature adjusting attempts through the frontal white screw result useless it will be necessary to calibrate the instrument acting,
with a suitable screwdriver, on the hole placed on the left side of the control panel (see picture 1). Turn the inside trimmer and wait for the
temperature set-point stabilization before proceeding in other way.
2
It is noted that in order to guarantee the embryonic development, the eggs must be placed with the air space towards the top.
3
Included in the equipment of the machine, there are some springs to be placed into single row of setting tray in order to stop the eggs in case it remains free space.
4
If the machine was supplied with manual egg-turner, remember to turn the eggs twice per day, morning and evening, using the key on setting trays.
