Hobby Easy Breeder Manual De Instrucciones página 7

3.2.4 Use (+) or (-) to set the desired high alarm value. The setting range is 0.0 – 15.0 °C. Can be set in 0.1 °C steps.
3.2.5 Press the (Set) button again to finalise the process.
4. Alarm setting for relative humidity (AS): The factory setting for the relative humidity alarm is set to 45 %. When the humidity falls below this
value, an alarm signal sounded. If you wish to change this setting, proceed as follows:
4.1 Press and hold the (Set) button for approx. 3 seconds.
4.2 Press the (+) or (-) button until (AS) appears in the display.
4.3 Press the (Set) button again.
4.4 Use (+) or (-) to set the desired alarm value. The setting range is 1 – 99 % relative humidity. Can be set in steps of 1 %.
4.5 Press the (Set) button again to finalise the process.
5. Defining a restricted temperature range: This function prevents that the temperature accidentally exceeds or drops below the defined
desired temperature. The factory setting has no defined limit. If you wish to change this setting, proceed as follows:
5.1 Setting the upper temperature limit (HS):
5.1.1 Press and hold the (Set) button for approx. 3 seconds.
5.1.2 Press the (+) or (-) button until (HS) appears in the display.
5.1.3 Press the (Set) button again.
5.1.4 Use (+) or (-) to set the desired high temperature limit. The setting range is 20 – 50 °C. Can be set in 0.1 °C steps.
5.1.5 Press the (Set) button again to finalise the process.
5.2 Setting the lower temperature limit (LS):
5.2.1 Press and hold the (Set) button for approx. 3 seconds.
5.2.2 Press the (+) or (-) button until (LS) appears in the display.
5.2.3 Press the (Set) button again.
5.2.4 Use (+) or (-) to set the desired lower temperature limit. The setting range is 20 – 50 °C. Can be set in 0.1 °C steps.
5.2.5 Press the (Set) button again to finalise the process.
For example: If you have defined an upper temperature limit of 28.2 °C and a lower limit of 27.4 °C, you will only be able to set the
temperature – as described in item 2 – within this range.
6. Resetting the day counter:
6.1 The Easy Breeder has an integrated day counter (called "Day" in the display). This means you can always see how long the eggs have been in the
incubator. To reset the day counter, press and hold the (Reset) button a few seconds. This will cause the counter to jump back to "O".
7. Useful hints / Correct handling of the eggs / incubation table
7.1 Useful hints:
· Operate the Easy Breeder in a room with a constant temperature, because external temperature fluctuations can affect the incubator. It should be set
up away from heat sources and direct sunlight. Make sure it rests on a horizontal base and is free from vibrations or shock and is free-standing without
obstructions to the air flow.
· It may take several hours until the temperature stabilises at the desired level, depending on room and set temperature, sensor position and the number
of bowls with incubation material. We recommend you operate the incubator for one day without hatching eggs so that the incubation material can fully
absorb the heat.
· After this day of operation for the bowls with incubation material, add the eggs. Opening the Easy Breeders and the number as well as the intrinsic
temperature of the hatching eggs can cause a temperature drop, a gradual increase and temperature fluctuations. Please do not change the
programming during this period!
· During the incubation period, minor temperature and humidity fluctuations may also occur. This is caused by the room temperature, the number of
incubation bowls and eggs, the incubation material and the relative humidity in the room. This has no harmful effect on the incubation process. Constant
temperatures do not occur in natural environments either.
· In principle, the Easy Breeder should only be opened when needed (to inspect the eggs or replenish liquid) to ensure a constant climate.
Expert hint: Even when incubating only one clutch of eggs the incubator should be equipped with cricket boxes or other containers and filled
with moist substrate such as vermiculite , soil or similar material. This significantly increases the heat capacity of the entire system keeps tempera-
ture fluctuations low. The incubator will also maintain its temperature much longer in the event of a power failure.
