5 Digital Control System
The Mini Advance control system utilises a highly accurate, individually calibrated sensor for temperature. Be
cautious of low cost analogue or digital thermometers when comparing them with the incubator display reading.
5.1
NORMAL OPERATION – Temperature, number of days remaining until the hatch is due and turn
system status are continuously displayed.
The asterisk “*” adjacent to the temperature reading shows when the heater power is on. When warming
the asterisk will be continuously on, once warmed up the asterisk will slowly flash as the heater is pulsed
to maintain the correct temperature. When reducing the temperature setting the asterisk may go off, this is
normal.
If turning is switched off an “O” flashes at the corner of the display.
If turning is switched on a line “/” symbol rotates at the corner of the display.
5.2
POWER LOSS DISPLAY – If power has been interrupted due to a power cut (or when first switching
on) a “P” is shown flashing in the corner of the display. Press OK for 2 or more seconds to clear the
indicator. If the reason for the power loss is not known check the power cable connections are secure.
Once the “P” indicator has been cleared, it is advisable to candle eggs a number of times to check for
losses.
5.3
HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM DISPLAY – If the measured temperature goes up by more than the
figure in the ALARM HI screen, the alarm will sound immediately and “H” will be displayed. Press OK
to silence the alarm for 30 minutes.
If the high temperature problem rectifies itself the “H” remains on the display to show this has happened.
Press OK to clear the indicator. Check the incubator is not (and has not been) in direct sunlight or too
near a heat source such as a room heater. It is advisable to candle eggs a number of times after this event
to check for losses.
