The River Systems ET 24 incubator maintaining a constant temperature of 40 degrees could be caused by the following issues:
1. Incorrect Temperature Setting – The incubator might be set to 40 degrees. Check and adjust the temperature using the PID microcomputer controller. 2. Faulty Temperature Sensor – A malfunctioning sensor could be providing incorrect readings, preventing proper regulation. 3. Heating Element Stuck On – If the LED indicating the heating element remains constantly illuminated, the heating element might not be cycling off properly. 4. Poor Ventilation – A malfunctioning fan impeller could be preventing even heat distribution, causing overheating. 5. External Environmental Factors – High ambient temperature or poor airflow around the incubator could contribute to excessive heat retention.
Check these factors and adjust the settings or repair components as needed.

L’embrione inizia il suo sviluppo prima dell’incubazione e, di conseguenza, ha bisogno di una cura corretta, altrimenti si avrà una diminuzione delle percentuali di schiusa. Le regole sottostanti aiuteranno ad ottenere uova idonee per l’incubazione: Raccogliere le uova almeno 3-4 volte al giorno. In estate raccoglietele almeno 5 volte al giorno. Non incubare mai uova che siano state ad una temperatura superiore a +26°C o inferiore a +5°C (oltre questi valori l’embrione muore).
Page 12
NB: lasciare la griglia appoggiata in un luogo piano perché non si deformi. Controllare che il vassoio portauova ad alveoli sia posizionato correttamente nelle sue sedi e che le file di alveoli si inclinino liberamente nei due sensi. Riempire di acqua tiepida la vaschetta (5/a). Per questo scopo utilizzare la bocchetta corrispondente posta sul piedino anteriore sinistro della macchina.
6C – IMPOSTAZIONE E REGOLAZIONE DELLA TEMPERATURA Per impostare e modificare la temperatura agire sui tasti (+) e (-) posti sul pannello di controllo. Premendo uno dei due tasti si entra in modalità programmazione (sul display appare la lettera “P” accanto ai gradi). Premere ad impulsi il tasto (+) o (-) per impostare la temperatura desiderata. Attendere qualche istante che venga memorizzata (ricompare la temperatura interna del momento e la lettera “C”).
Solo per art. 524: minimo 4 volte al giorno cambiare l’inclinazione delle uova alloggiate nel vassoio portauova ad alveoli agendo sulla levetta posta nella parte anteriore dell’incubatrice. Girare la levetta verso destra o sinistra alternativamente, fermandola nella posizione corrispondente alle ore 10 o 14 di un orologio. MAI LASCIARE LA LEVETTA (E DI CONSEGUENZA LE UOVA) IN POSIZIONE VERTICALE (ORE 12). Muovere la levetta con delicatezza per evitare traumi alle uova.
Si possono altrimenti controllare periodicamente le uova incubate sottoponendole a speratura. Questa operazione deve essere fatta in una stanza buia, usando un fascio di luce intensa (es. lo sperauova River Systems art. 164), seguendo la tabella riportata qui di seguito:...
Rimuovere il vassoio portauova ad alveoli. Solo per art. 524/A: sollevare il vassoio portauova estraendolo dalla linguetta dell’unità girauova (fare attenzione a reinserirlo correttamente quando verrà riposizionato). Se dopo vari cicli d’incubazione si nota che la fessura in cui è inserita la linguetta dell’unità girauova è...
9B – NUTRIZIONE Di solito i pulcini iniziano a mangiare e bere dal secondo/terzo giorno di vita. Mettere nella scatola/recinto un abbeveratoio e una mangiatoia per del mangime fine. Ideali sono i seguenti articoli: Abbeveratoi: - art. 137: abbeveratoio a sifone da 1,5 litri (adatto per tutti i pulcini, anche di piccole dimensioni) - art.
11 – MANUTENZIONE, PULIZIA E STOCCAGGIO DELL’INCUBATRICE A FINE CICLO La pulizia può essere effettuata solo a macchina spenta, con spina disinserita e solo con apparecchio a temperatura ambiente. Non immergete in acqua per pulirle le parti che possono andare in tensione durante l’uso. La sporcizia può...
13 – RIMOZIONE DELL’UNITA’ GIRAUOVA DALL’INCUBATRICE AUTOMATICA Qualora fosse necessario rimuovere l’unità girauova dall’incubatrice automatica (art. 524/A), seguire le seguenti istruzioni: Rimuovere il vassoio portauova estraendolo dalla linguetta dell’unità girauova. Dopo aver capovolto la base, svitare le due viti poste sul fondo . Svitare la vite all’interno della base della dell’incubatrice (vite supplementare presente nel modello automatico).

L’embryon commence son développement avant l’incubation, donc il faut en prendre soin de façon appropriée, autrement les pourcentages d’éclosion baisseront. Voici quelques conseils qui peuvent vous aider à obtenir de bons résultats : Ramassez les œufs au moins 3-4 fois par jour et 5 fois pendant l’été. N’incubez jamais d’œufs qui ont été gardés à une température supérieure à...

Faire attention à ce que le panier soit placé correctement dans ses supports et que les rangées oscillent sans problème dans les deux sens. Remplissez d’eau tiède le bac 5/a. Pour cela utilisez l’aire correspondante sur le pied antérieur gauche de la couveuse. Versez l’eau doucement et assurez-vous de ne pas la faire déborder : un surplus d’eau causerait une augmentation du taux d’humidité, et entraînerait une réduction des éclosions.

4 – INTRODUCTION TO THE INCUBATOR The ET 24 is designed to hatch hen-eggs as well as pheasant, guinea fowl, quail, partridge, grey partridge, rock partridge, turkey, palmipeds (goose, mallard, all breeds of duck, etc.), peacock, pigeon, exotic birds and birds of prey.
Page 39
Keep the eggs in the egg trays with the point downwards. Eggs are good for incubation from 2 to 6 day from laying. Incubating eggs older than 8 days considerably reduces the hatching rate, which will be close to zero in case of eggs kept for more than 15 days. Choose eggs with normal shape (they should not be oblong, spherical, corrugated or misshapen in any way).
Page 40
Ensure that the egg tray is in the correct position (on its supports) and that the cradle rows tilt freely in the two directions. Fill basin 5/a with lukewarm water. Pour the water into the corresponding opening at the front left hand side of the incubator. Do this slowly, taking care not to allow the water to overflow from the basin: too much liquid would increase in the humidity rate lowering the hatching percentage.
Page 41
6C – TEMPERATURE SETTING AND ADJUSTMENT To set and adjust the temperature press the (+) and (-) buttons on the control panel. Press one of the two buttons to enter the Programme Mode (the display shows a “P” beside the temperature). Press and release (+) or (-) to set the desired temperature. This will be memorized after a few seconds (the display will show the present internal temperature and the letter “C”).
Page 42
Only for art. 524: change the inclination of the eggs at least 4 times a day by tilting the handle placed in the front of the incubator. The handle must rest alternately at the 10 o’clock position to the left or the 2 o’clock position to the right. NEVER LEAVE THE HANDLE (AND THEREFORE THE EGGS) IN A VERTICAL POSITION (h.

You can periodically check the incubated eggs by candling them. This operation should be carried out in a dark room, using a strong beam (e.g. the River Systems’ egg tester art. 164), as per the following chart: Species...
Page 44
Remove the egg tray. Only for art. 524/A: to remove the egg tray, simply lift it, pulling it out from the steel tongue of the egg turning unit (be careful to reinsert it correctly when you relocate the egg tray). If after several incubation cycles you notice that the slit where the egg turning unit steel tongue is inserted is too large, swap the row with another of the tray.

9B – NUTRITION Normally the chicks start eating and drinking from their second/third day of life. Put a drinker and a feeder for fine fodder in the box/pen. We suggest the following products: Drinkers: - art. 137: siphon drinker - capacity 1,5 litres in polypropylene (suitable for all chicks, even small sized ones) - art.

11 – MAINTENANCE CLEANING AND STORAGE OF THE INCUBATOR AT THE END OF THE CYCLE Cleaning should only be undertaken with the power off and the plug disconnected. Do not immerse electrical components in water to clean them. Ensure maintenance operations are performed in a clean environment. At the end of the cycle, thoroughly clean the lower part of the incubator with neutral detergent first, then disinfect it with a chlorine-based disinfectant or some household bleach.

13 – REMOVAL OF THE EGG TURNING UNIT FROM THE AUTOMATIC INCUBATOR Follow the instructions below to remove the egg turning unit from the automatic incubator (art. 524/A), if necessary: Remove the egg tray. Lift it, pulling it out from the steel tongue of the egg turning unit. After having capsized the base of the incubator, remove the two screws at the bottom.
