Page 2: Preface
Preface The purpose of this manual is to familiarise the reader with the incubator and provide instructions on use. The operating manual contains important information for the safe, economic, and correct operation of the incubator. Compliance with this manual helps to avoid dangers, minimise repair costs and downtime, and increase the reliability and service life of the machine. -

Page 6: Description
Description HEKA incubators consist of a housing that is divided internally into two compartments: The upper part houses the "technology" (distribution, controls, ventilator and heater) and the lower part houses the incubation or hatching space with the incubation and/or hatching trays. - Page 7 HEKA hatching devices are built like our incubators. They do not feature fully-automatic turning. Top: Hatching device Bottom: Incubator The motor for fully-automatic turning is located at the rear of the device. Control cable Housing for turning motor...

Page 8: Setup And Connection
Setup and connection Set up the incubator at least 50 cm above the ground; do not set it up outdoors, in direct sunlight oder next to a heating. A power supply (230 V / 50 Hz) must be available at the installation site. The incubator must not be connected to an offgrid-inverter, which are used in autonomous power-supply like solar-electricity-power-supply. - Page 9 Checking the humidity Also the hygrometer (10) has been checked in our factory. To check, that there had not been a damage on transport, run the incubator without water. If the hygrometer is working properly, you must note, that the humidity falls with raising temperature up to a value of 30-50% (depending on the room, where it is placed, weather conditions and time of the year).

basins for humidification. But before putting in eggs for storage, check if the conditions are suitable/optimum for storage. With higher ambient temperatures just the operation of the ventilator can raise the the temperature too much. Adjusting the humidity The required humidity can be reached by filling one part of the supplied three-parted water basin and placing it in the incubation chamber. - Page 12 Due to the different characteristics of the eggshell, a different humidity is necessary for various kinds of fowl to come to the right weight-loss and size of the air cell. For example, a chicken egg (at the same humidity) loses weight much more slowly than a waterfowl egg. The weight-loss even varies for chicken of different types, which means that the eggs normally should be incubated at different humidity levels.

Page 13: Inserting The Hatching Eggs
Inserting the hatching eggs After setting the correct humidity and temperature values, place the eggs (horizontal or slightly vertical with air cell on top) on the incubation trays in the incubator. Attention! Handle the hatching eggs with care. Hatching eggs are very sensitive, espcially after the incubation process has started. -
Page 14: Cooling The Eggs
Cooling the Eggs The eggs can be cooled in two different ways. If you do not want to cool all eggs, you only need to take the incubation trays with the eggs to be cooled out of the device. Then close the door of the incubator immediately. -
Page 15: Shutting-Down After Incubation
Shutting-down after incubation When you have had hatching in the incubator and plan to put in eggs shortly, make at least a light maintenance and care according to chapter 11. Take out the water basin(s) and run the incubator without water until the humidity has fallen to that value, which you need for the next incubation stage. -
Page 16: Technical Compartment (Incubation Or Hatching Device)
11.2 Technical Compartment (incubation or hatching device) Disconnect the power plug before opening the cover. Caution! Dangerous voltage! Before cleaning, disconnect the power plug to make sure no voltage is present. Caution! Danger of injury from hot surface! Before opening the lid, wait for approximately 10 minutes until the heating elements have cooled off. -
