Manual for Automatic Egg Incubator - 480 Eggs


Room temperature must be 27 degrees. Do not put the device in a cold room. Temperature fluctuation between 37-38 is normal.



NOTE

● The machine fan must work all the time. check the fan daily and make sure that it works properly.
● Turning the eggs cannot be seen easily. To make sure that the gearbox works, put your hand on it and you must feel its shake and warmth.
● Do not manipulate the device's electronic system.
● During the hatch period (3last days) especially after hatching some chicks, do not open the machine door.
● Do not install the machine outdoor and under direct sun light or wind.
● Use all 4 shelves together and even if they are empty.



● The ideal temperature of the atmosphere is 27 degrees.

General Notes

● Before putting eggs into the machine, it should work for 1-2 days to make sure that every part works correctly.
● If you do not have enough experience to use the machine, it is recommended, not to use expensive eggs. Start with some cheap eggs.
● Do not install the machine outdoor and under direct sun light or wind.
● The ideal temperature of the place of the machine is between 27 degree, otherwise the output decreases.
● When using air conditioning systems, make sure that the machine is not exposed to the warm or cold wind.
● Enclosed and poorly ventilated spaces are not recommended reduce efficiency.
● During the hatch period (3last days) especially after hatching some chicks, do not open the machine door.
● Do not manipulate electronic systems.
● Ideal humidity of atmosphere is between 50-55 percent.
3 issues are involved in this process:
      1- Egg incubator
      2- Eggs
      3- Operator
Do not use old eggs. maximum time of storage eggs is 7 days. also eggs must be stored in special condition.
Do not store eggs in refrigerator. the best temperature is 18 degree and humidity is 55%. store them in dark places.
Temperature fluctuation of the environment should not be more than 4 degrees.
If the temperature fluctuation is more than 4 degrees, output decreases. Also be careful of temperature of day and night.
Before putting eggs in the machine, put them in a warm place for some hours (about 25 degree) to prevent shock.
To put the eggs in the machine, make sure that the eggs stand on their head.
Do not wash the eggs; clean them with a dry brush.
Do not use very big or small or abnormally shaped eggs.
Do the egg candling on the 7th and 14th nights and remove transparent eggs from the machine because they are without embryos and can cause the rest of the eggs be contaminated.
It is suggested that after each period, break the unsuccessful eggs and check out the reason. Note that if the eggs after 21 days still have albumen and yolk it means that they do not have sperm at all.
Do not use any chemical for cleaning the machine.

Incubation process definition:

Incubation process is divided to 2 periods of setter and hatch.
  ● During setter period, the egg is on the tray and turns. In this period the chick grows inside the eggs. Ideal temperature is 37.7 and ideal humidity is 55-65%.
  ● In hatch period, chick inside the egg is completed .in this period eggs must put on the hatch basket. Hatch period for chicken eggs is 3 days.

Egg Candling:

For the diagnosis of fertilized eggs and also to ensure the growth of the embryo, do the egg candling on the 7th and 14th nights.
      1-Do the egg candling in the dark room.
     2- Do the egg candling in a warm room to prevent any shock.
      3- Make sure that during egg candling egg is not exposed to intense shaking.
      4- Do the egg candling in the shortest time.
      5- Remove the transparent eggs from the machine otherwise the rest of the egg will be polluted.

How can you do the candling?

While looking through eggs on seventh night, you must see blood vessels and black spots, otherwise remove transparent eggs.


On the 14th night, if you observe eggs, you must see most of the inside dark, otherwise remove transparent eggs again.

Introduction of machine parts

1- Body: it is made of ABS with 3 cm thickness insulation layer.
2- Controllers: A digital thermo controllers with the precision of a tenth of a degree
One digital humidity controllers with the precision of 1%.
While the inside temperature is lower than adjusted value, the thermostat green light is on and when the temperature reaches to the adjusted value, the green light off.
Note: the machine is adjusted in the factory. Do not change the setting.


3- Fan
Note: the machine fan must work all the time. check the fan daily and make sure that it works properly.
4- Gearboxes


Red lights are showing gearboxes operation.
5- Water container



As above pictures you can pour water in the water container easily with using plastic hose.

Installation

- Put trays in the machine and connect the gearboxes.
- Pour some water in the water container and make sure the water level is upper than metal tip.
- Connect the electricity power and turn the machine on:
1- All digital controllers must be on
2- All the 4 signal lamps (gearboxes) must be on.
3- The red light of the fan must be on and fan works.
4- While the humidity is lower than 60%, the red light of the mist maker must be on and it works.
Note: the machine is adjusted in the factory, do not change the setting.
Note: before putting eggs in the machine, let it works for a day to make sure that every part works properly.
- Then put the eggs. Eggs must be stand on their head. Close the machine door and make sure that air cannot enter.
During the 18 days of setter, every 3 days’ pour water in the machine.
- The ideal temperature inside the machine is 37.5 -37.7 degree and the ideal humidity inside the machine is 55-65%.
- In the 7th and 14th nights, do the candling with considering all important notes.

Hatching operation

- Remove the trays from the machine.
- Put the eggs in the glass baskets.
- Pour water in the water container to make sure that there is no need to open machine door during rest of days.
Note: Operation of transferring eggs must be done in a warm room to prevent any shock.
- Close the machine door and do not open it during the 3 last days.
It suggested to open the door on the 2nd and 4th days, then take the chicks out, because with each opening and closing the door some chicks could die.
The hatching of all chicks may extend to the 25th day.
After each period and before starting new period, make sure that all inlets in the front of the fan and on the top of the machine are open.
