HD100GB Issue 8 IMPORTANT NOTICE Brinsea Products Ltd and its agents or distributors will not be responsible for loss of animals in the event of failure however caused and the user is advised to arrange his own insurance cover where loss of power or mechanical or electrical failure might result in unacceptable losses.
Your TLC-4 brooder is designed to allow the user to vary the environmental conditions to suit a wide range of species and the specific set-up for every species is beyond the scope of these instructions.
Check that the electrical supply matches the machine’s requirements (marked on the technical label on the rear of the TLC-4). UK machines are fitted with a 3 Amp fuse in the mains plug – if replaced always use this rating.
After connecting power the TLC-4 warms up and after a period of time the red LED will change from continuously on to flashing. When flashing regularly the TLC-4 is controlling at temperature.
For larger chicks and adult birds line the base of the TLC-4 with paper towelling and place the patient(s) directly on this. Alternatively, plastic liners are available from Brinsea Products, call 0845 2260120 or visit www.brinsea.co.uk...
The TLC-4 can be used as a thermal intensive care unit for mammals or reptiles. In such cases fit the unit with the floor liner accessory (available from Brinsea Products). The unit would normally be set at between 30 and 35°C for chilled or shocked small animals.
If the problem persists contact your distributor or Brinsea Products Service Dept. The functional parts of the TLC-4 are modular and parts are available and are readily exchangeable by a suitably qualified person equipped with basic tools.
