Nastavení

  1. Vybalení inkubátoru: Carefully remove all components from the packaging. Retain the polystyrene packaging for potential use as additional insulation.
  2. Umístění: Position the incubator on a flat, stable surface in a room with a consistent ambient temperature, away from direct sunlight, drafts, and heat sources.
  3. Naplňte vodní nádrž: Locate the water reservoir at the bottom of the incubator. Fill it with distilled or demineralized water to the appropriate level. This helps regulate humidity. Avoid overfilling.
  4. Připojte napájení: Plug the power cable into the incubator and then into a suitable electrical outlet. The display should illuminate.
  5. Předehřev: Allow the incubator to run for at least 2-3 hours before placing eggs inside. This stabilizes the internal temperature and humidity.

The incubator features a dual display for temperature and humidity, along with LED indicators and control buttons.

  • Zobrazení teploty: Shows the current internal temperature in Celsius.
  • Displej vlhkosti: Shows the current internal humidity percentage.
  • "Work" LED: Svítí, když je topné těleso aktivní.
  • "Set" LED: Illuminates when in temperature setting mode.
  • tlačítka: "Set" button to enter setting mode, "+" and "-" buttons to adjust values.

Nastavení teploty

  1. Press the "Set" button once. The "Set" LED will light up, and the temperature display will flash.
  2. Use the "+" and "-" buttons to adjust the desired incubation temperature (range: 25°C to 39.5°C). Refer to species-specific incubation charts for optimal temperatures.
  3. Press the "Set" button again to confirm the setting and exit setting mode. The display will stop flashing.

Automatické otáčení vajec

The incubator is equipped with an automatic egg-turning mechanism that simulates natural turning by a hen. This prevents the embryo from sticking to the eggshell, which is crucial for successful hatching.

  • The egg turning system operates automatically at regular intervals.
  • Důležité: Approximately 3-4 days before the expected hatch date, the automatic turning system must be switched off. This allows the chicks to position themselves correctly for hatching. Consult an incubation calendar for specific timing.

Humidity Regulation

Humidity is regulated by the water in the reservoir at the bottom of the unit. Periodically check the water level and refill as needed with distilled or demineralized water. The humidity display provides a real-time reading.

Placing Eggs

Once the incubator has reached the desired stable temperature and humidity, carefully place the eggs into the designated slots in the turning mechanism. Ensure eggs are clean and fertile.

Údržba

  • Čištění: After each incubation cycle, unplug the incubator and allow it to cool. Clean all internal surfaces with a mild disinfectant solution and a soft cloth. Ensure all parts are completely dry before storage or next use.
  • Vodní nádrž: Regularly clean the water reservoir to prevent algae or bacterial growth.
  • Skladování: Store the incubator in a clean, dry place, preferably in its original packaging, when not in use.
