Manual

Location

1. Ensure a steady room temperature day and night around 21.1°C (70°F).

Use an electric heater with a thermostat if necessary.

2. Keep out of direct sunlight. Beware of rapid temperature rise

due to sunlight. Ensure that the incubator is on a level surface.

3. Check that available electrical supply matches the machine.

Always disconnect the power supply before moving the

incubator.

Temperature

Caution: Errors in temperature account for most failures.

Adjust with care.

4. Your incubator may not be set to the correct temperature from

factory. As the incubator warms up and approaches its control

setting the red LED will change from continuously on to flashing.

Allow 2 hours to stabilise the temperature before setting eggs –

check against thermometer supplied. The thermometer is

mounted in a swivel clip. Ensure that the bulb is adjusted just

clear of the top of the eggs.

5. Fine adjustments can be made with a small screwdriver by

adjusting the screw on the control panel - clockwise to increase

temperature. A half turn is approximately 1°C (3°F). The red light

indicates when the heater is on and will flash about once every

second when the incubator is up to temperature.

6. Recommended temperatures: Incubation period

Hens 39.2°C 102.5°F 21 days

Pheasant 39.5°C 103°F 24 days

Quail 39.2°C 102.5°F 17 days

Ducks 39°C 102°F 28 days

Geese 39°C 102°F 28-32 days

Troubleshooting

31. Candle eggs with a high intensity light source (such as the Brinsea

Egglume) to gauge the extent of embryo development and air space

increase during incubation. Break open unhatched eggs.

1) Clear when candled - probably infertile (or very early death)

when candled at 8days

2) Fertile with red blood vessels - after 8 days

3) Red or black staining - early death when candled at 8 days

4) Embryo with red blood ‘ring’ - early death (candled at 8 days)

5) Dark outline with ill defined detail - late death (10-16 days)

6) Live embryo with bill in air sack - due to hatch in 24-48 hours

7) Normal development of the air pocket according to the

number of days

32. Incubation advice is available from Brinsea Products and a range

of books on the subject can also be supplied.
