Do not operate the incubator without the Cable Cover in place. Ensure the cable is not crushed or pinched when the cover is fitted. The cover is designed to prevent splashes of water reaching the electrical sockets and it clamps the cables to prevent the connectors coming loose.
- Page 5 AD24 US Issue 01 The Advance Humidity Pump is supplied with a length of silicone tube fitted around the pump rotor. This length will wear and need periodic replacement. It can also become flattened if left unused for some time because the inside walls of the tube will stick to each other around the rotor and prevent water passing through.

Operation The scope of these instructions is limited solely to the humidity control system of Brinsea Octagon Advance Incubators. Please read the user instructions supplied with the incubator itself for full details of all aspects of operating the incubator. - Page 7 To determine the correct humidity level for any given species either consult available literature (a range of bird keeping and breeding books is available from Brinsea Products at the address below) or experiment with different humidity levels and record which proved most successful or weigh eggs during incubation. Eggs loose moisture through their shells and the rate of evaporation depends on the humidity levels around the eggs.

Page 8: Routine Maintenance
AD24 US Issue 01 Routine Maintenance Changing the pump tube:- The peristaltic pump will need to have its tube replaced about every 3 months. Cut a length of tube to about 140mm. Remove the connectors and pull off the old tube. Replace with the new tube, avoiding twists. Use the diagram on the product label to thread the tube exactly as shown over the pump head. -
Page 9: Service And Calibration
The digital humidity sensor is individually calibrated during manufacture but may be re-calibrated if required. To ensure optimal performance return the incubator to Brinsea Products Service dept. for re-calibration every two years. It is not recommended that this procedure is carried out by the user.
