  • Page 6: Placement Of Models

    HB SERIES Placement of Model 1½ ft (50cm) Your incubator must be located indoors. Place your incubator on a flat surface, away from doors and windows. Ideal distance from any wall is 1½ ft (50cm). The area must be clean and well ventilated. The incubator should not be exposed to direct sunlight, water, or high humidity levels.
  • Page 7: Egg Handling

    HB SERIES Egg Handling Eggs should be collected and stored in proper conditions prior to setting. Good quality eggs are important for positive hatchery results. Sanitizing eggs before storage is an effective method for killing or decreasing the number of microorganisms on the egg’s surface. Be sure to use proper sanitary procedures, the sanitation process kills bacteria on the egg but it can also kill the chick embryo in the egg.

The room sensor is identical to the main sensor inside the egg incubator, it can be used as a spare sensor in emergency Sensor protective cover situations.
  • Page 12: Humisonic

    HB SERIES Humisonic Automatic Humidity Control Humidity adjustments are required to provide adequate water loss from eggs. Eggs need to lose between 13-16% of water depending on the species. Weighing your eggs during incubation is the most reliable way to ensure you have reached proper humidity levels for your eggs. Short term humidity changes during incubation are not impactful.
  • Page 13: Humidity Tray

    HB SERIES Humidity Tray Cabinet humidity values can be adjusted manually by adding water to humidity tray channels. Check humidity values on the control panel. Humidity levels directly relate to the amount of water in the humidity tray. HB SERIES models have different sized water channels so that humidity can be adjusted to desired level.

  • Page 19 HB SERIES Cimuka’s research team is collecting data from their research center and from customers for different APC applications. The table below outlines the recommended parameters for cooling for a set (clS) mode. Note: Cooling by a time (clt) mode is highly dependent on hatchery room conditions and the number of eggs in the incubator. It is advisable to use a temperature-controlled hatchery room to reach optimal hatching results.
