Unfortunately, the best hatch rates can be reached with which parameter combination is not known for different species yet. But Cimuka Research
Team is collecting data from our research center and customers for different APC application results and advises below details for Cooling for a Set
(clS) mode.
Note:
Cooling by a time (clt) mode is highly dependent on hatchery room conditions and the loaded egg amount in the model and only advisable to
use for temperature controlled hatchery rooms to reach same hatching results.

CAUTION!
Don’t forget to off Active Periodic cooling function during hatching period. Cooling in last 2-3 days of incubation results
with bad hatching rates and chick loses.
CAUTION!
Changing cooling mode (cIF) or cooling cycle time (cPr) parameters in APC menu resets periodic cooling cycle time (cPr).
CAUTION!
In clS mode, time to reach cooling set point cSt (Fst) is highly dependent to room temperature. For very low set points,
system could not reach cooling set point. For such situations, system finalizes cooling at max cooling time (hct).
