Location and Installation
THE INCUBATOR MUST BE PLACED IN AN INDOOR AREA NOT SUBJECT TO SPLASHES OF WATER
OR WET CONDITIONS AND OUT OF REACH OF ANIMALS AND CHILDREN.
3.1
Your incubator will give best results in a room free from wide temperature variations and with
generous ventilation
– particularly if several incubators are running at the same time. Ensure that the
room temperature cannot drop on a cold night. Ideally thermostatically control the room at between 20
and 25°C (68 and 77°F). Never allow the room temperature to drop below 15°C (59°F) and ensure
that the incubator cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.
3.2
Always place the incubator upright on a flat level surface off the floor, worktop height is ideal. Ensure
the surface is adequate to support the weight of the machine and contents. See weight specifications
at the end of this document.
3.3
Open the door and place the water evaporation pan in the front of the incubator and fill with 1:200 mix
of water and Brinsea disinfectant solution. The water level should be no higher than the first ridge of
the tray. Place the Evaporation Block upright across the front of the pan (in the slot). Place the flat lid
on the pan and slide the pan back into the cabinet so that the evaporation block is at the front of the
cabinet. Close the door.
3.4
Plug the incubator supply cable into a suitable outlet ensuring that the cable is not pulled tight. The
incubator fans will start, the buzzer sound and the LCD display will show the air temperature and
humidity.
