CT SERIES Quick Guide - Remove all packing material carefully. - Please identify and check all parts of model. (see page 2-4 ) - Install Humisonic unit onto cabinet. (see page 12 ) Picture 1 - Fill humidity tray with water (1 channel).
CT SERIES 50cm (1,5ft) Placement of Model Your incubator must be located in an indoor area. The area must be clean and ventilated. Ideal distance from walls are 50 cm (1,5 ft). Do not place machine close to the walls of incubation room. The incubator should not be exposed to direct sunlight and not subject to splashes of water or high humid conditions.
CT SERIES Egg Handling Eggs should be collected carefully and stored in good conditions up to setting. Quality of eggs is very important for hatchery results. Sanitizing eggs before storage is an effective method for killing or decreasing the amount of microorganisms in egg surface. You must know that sanitation processes does not only kill the bacteria, but it can also kill the chick embryo in the egg.

Cimuka advanced temperature/ humidity controller provides best control of cabinet for room conditions and it has USB connection second sensor voice alarm function for high/low temperature/ humidity with user adjustable parameters.
CT SERIES Humisonic Automatic Humidity Control Humidity adjustment in incubators is for providing adequate water loss from eggs. Eggs need to lose between 13-16 % water depending on the species during incubation period. Weighing your eggs during incubation is the most reliable way to find proper humidity level for particular poultry species.
CT SERIES Humidity Tray Lowest humidity Highest humidity CAUTION! Never fill humidity trays with cold water. Use warm water close to incubator set point. Ideally 25-30 C (77-86 CAUTION! Humidity tray is part of the incubator. Always keep it in bottom, even empty. Advisable to fill one section of humidity tray during setting period and keep full for hatching period last 2-3 day.
CT SERIES Egg Turning / Conturn Adjustment Conturn 30 Base Conturn Egg Rack Rack Fixing Bar Rack Fixing Pins Main Turner Bar Conturn Motor Conturn Adapter Conturn 30 Adjustment Conturn 30 comes with 6 pre-installed racks, if you have bigger eggs than chicken eggs, racks must be adjusted.
Page 15
CT SERIES Conturn 30 base and main turner bar have holes for adjustments of racks. The standard unit includes 6 racks. The standard racks can be used for hens and smaller eggs without any change. Conturn 30 has 13 holes shown below.

CT SERIES CAUTION ! Never position eggs with the small end top. Eggs must be set small end down or horizontal. (sold separately) QT13- Quail Egg Tray QT13 Standard egg rack holds 9 pc quail egg, QT13 quail rack is placed directly onto the standard rack and can hold 13 quail eggs This can also be used for eggs smaller than an average quail egg.

CT SERIES GT03 – Goose Egg Rack (sold separately) GT03 The Goose Egg Rack is designed for large goose and peacock eggs. Goose eggs must be set in a horizontal position with the small end a bit lower (10 degrees). Periodic cooling of goose eggs is advised.
2. Fan assistant cooling mode (for models with cooling fan) - reaches desired cooling temperature faster Cimuka ‘s advanced incubator controller lets user to change all parameters with Active Periodic Cooling (APC) menu to try and achieve best hatch rates for different poultry specie’s eggs.

CT series also offers Setter (S) and Hatcher (H) models in 3 different capacities from 60 to 180 chicken egg. Using a separate hatcher gives users advantage to work with exact temperature and humidity values for embryo needs. And also a separate hatcher decreases microbial cross contamination risk between eggs in setter and hatcher.

CT SERIES Partial Setting SH type models can also be used by partial setting. To decrease egg storage times, eggs can be set partially and periodically SH type models can also be used by partial setting. To decrease egg storage times, eggs can be set partially and periodically SH type models can also be used by partial setting.
CT SERIES Incubation Records Keeping personal records is important for identifying performance issues or problems in incubation. Name of species, setting date, transfer date, first and last hatching date, number of eggs set, number of fertile eggs, number of chicks, and % hatchability should be recorded for future reference.
Always check inside temperature and humidity of your model periodically with a high quality calibrated glass or electronic thermometer. If needed carry out a proper calibration procedure. Egg incubation requires dedication and oversight. Cimuka, or it’s distributors will not be heldresponsibleforloss of eggs or chicks under anycircumstances.
CT SERIES Recommended Incubation Values Typical incubation periods and recommended temperature / humidity values for the species are given below. Incubation periods, temperature and humidity values can change for particular species. Please check literature or ask your dealer for information.
