Once the machine has reached the working temperature place the eggs lying on the wire mesh in horizontal position,
between the rods of the adjustable egg-turning grid. When partially loaded of eggs check them to be closely positioned in
the middle of the turning grid to get the best possible movement of the same by proper egg weight distribution on the turning
grid. To accommodate eggs of different sizes the Cosmo's removable turning grid is supplied with dividers which the user
can position to suit their eggs.
ATTENTION: the correct working temperature for Cosmo model is fixed to 99,7°F (corresponding to 37,7°C).
USE AND CALIBRATION: Plug the incubator into the electric power and allow the machine to run at the correct temperature
before setting the eggs. The analogue thermostat (LCD for the EVO version and MINILED version - see instructions for the
calibration on the next paragraph), placed on the top valve, has been set-up by the factory and indicates when the machine
is working (the led power results lighted). The continuous or intermittent lighting of the led – ON – points out the heating acti-
vation. Check that the set temperature on the thermostat dial agrees with the reading on the alcohol thermometer inside the
incubator. If necessary, adjust the set temperature slightly by using a screwdriver in the central white screw on the thermostat
box until the thermometer reads 99,7°F. It's important to check the temperature on the thermometer in the incubator.
IMPORTANT: if all instrument setting attempts result useless, do not remove absolutely the thermostat from its place to
effect any improper or not authorized operation, just contact the builder for a possible reparation or substitution.
The inside lighting of the machine is by an incandescent lamp activated by the switch placed on the control panel; remember
to switch off the light while the machine is in operation.
Remember to turn the eggs twice per days, morning and evening, by the key on metal turning grids, if the machine were
supplied with manual egg-turner.
Remind that on the hatching period (last two days) it will be necessary to stop the automatic turning of eggs simply taking
away the metal inserts. It's not necessary to remove the full egg grid by the machine.
FIEM LCD CONTROL PANEL
The new FIEM LCD control system provide a range of useful and easy-to-use extra features like temperature and humidity
control by proportional, integrative and derivate system (PID) or ON/OFF and temperature alarms.
When switched on the control system displays for some seconds the software version.
The electronic control unit with backlit LCD will show at the same time the operating temperature & humidity set up by the
user along with the effective values of temperature and relative humidity measured by the probes.
Ventilation intensity is fully and digitally adjustable according to the different incubation phases.
DESCRIPTION:
Master
switch
In case of any error on temperature or humidity reading two asterisks (**) will appear on the display.
The electronic instrument has two setting parameters menus; the first one allows the user to adjust the main functions
where possible and the technical one allows the instrument configuration.
User menu
The operating temperature of the PID system, the high temperature alarm limit and the relative humidity can be easily adju-
sted entering into the user menu by pressing the SET key. It's possible to view all parameters by pressing the SET key and
to change the setting, by pressing the keys "INCREASE"
If no keys are pressed for 25 seconds or longer, the electronic instrument will go out automatically from program menu.

This parameter determinates the temperature that the instrument must be maintained
during incubation period. The range of the values that can to be setted in this scale
is definited by the parameters "Inc.temp.min." and "Inc.temp.max." showed in the
technical menu.
If the read temperature by the instrument reaches the setted one in this parameter, it
will be switched on the acustic buzzer alarm in order to report a fault.
This out will remain on until the temperature does not decrease under the setted value
–"Ist.temp.allarm.".
