COMMISSIONING
Before starting the incubator, it is advisable to study the manual carefully in order to discover and evaluate the technical
characteristics, the functions of each element and the level of safety guaranteed by the product,
UNPACKING THE MACHINE
Take the incubator out of the packing box and remove each element fixed with adhesive tape inside. Check for the
presence of the following items:
- 1 user's manual;
- 1 thermometer, 1 hygrometer bent (short rod) door (° F);
- bottle capacity 100 cm_ ;
- 2/3 cotton wicks;
- 3 cuvettes for humidification;
- 2/3 incubation trays (2 for Mercurius; 3 for Neptunus)
- 1 plastic hatching tray and cover;
- 3 small paper mats for the hatching tray;
- 2 spare fuses 2 A.
The incubator is also equipped with an electric cable (about 2 m long) with a grounded plug for connection to 220/230V
single-phase, 50-60 Hz. The nameplate on the back of the incubator indicates the absorption capacity and the electrical
power of the incubator.
POSITIONING, CONNECTION AND PREPARATION
The room where the incubator is to be installed should be sufficiently ventilated, dry and have a constant temperature of
17-23° C.1 Place the incubator on a stable, non-tilted surface and, if possible, close to an easily accessible power outlet.
Use only grounded outlets for connection to the mains.
NOTE: Make sure that the column of the thermometer and the door hygrometer are not separated. The manufacturer
declines all responsibility in case of improper use, improper location, connection to unauthorized devices or modification
by unauthorized personnel.
Preparation of the wet bulb hygrometer
To carry out the humidity test, first fill the bottle already installed by the manufacturer on the inside of the door with
warm water (max. Niv. 100) using the dosing device supplied; then insert the hygrometer bulb (short stem) into the wick,
the end of which must be dipped into the bottle.
Caution: it is essential that the end of the wick which envelops the bulb of the hygrometer dips into the water of the
bottle. The relationship is made by capillarity because if the wick is dry, the hygrometer indicates the temperature and not
the humidity.
