Typical ideal weight losses for species groups:
Birds of Prey
17%
Poultry
13%
Parrots
16%
Waterfowl
14%
If difficulty is experienced in Contact Mode maintaining very high or very low
humidity levels then it is suggested that the Base Insulation Panel be fitted in the
bottom of the incubation chamber (see page 8). This will restrict the rate of air
exchange and allow greater control of extremes.
An adjustable vent is provided on the rear of the machine to allow fine adjustment of
humidity when in Forced Draft Mode. This is nominally set half open.

Turning
The Z6 has a uniquely flexible turning system designed to allow any natural turning
regime to be simulated. The control panel provides adjustment of the turning
functions (see below). Set your Z6 to best replicate the turning regime of the species
you are breeding.
Maximum Turning Interval (time between turn cycles)
Minimum Turning Interval
Maximum turning Angle (expressed in time (seconds) of turn)
Minimum Turning Angle
Direction of turn
These can be adjusted by going into the settings menu and scrolling through to the
turning functions.
The Minimum and Maximum turning intervals can be set to the same value to give
consistent intervals. If the Minimum and Maximum Turning Intervals are different the
Z6 will randomly select times between these limits.
