2. Unite the two halves of the connection (2) and screw it at one end of the flexible hose (1). Screw the
connection (4) at the opposite end of the hose letting 1 cm of the hose protrude.
3. Put the connection (2) into the pre-made hole in the incubator and fix it with the nut (3)
(photo G)
.
4. Close the incubator passing the sensor wire between the base and the lid
(photo H)
. Start the incubator
and let it reach and stabilise the set temperature (the time necessary differs according to the machine:
please refer to your instruction manual). The presence of the hose connected to the incubator lid does not
affect the internal temperature of the latter during stabilisation time.
5. Meanwhile, plug the sensor wire into the mini-USB socket placed on the base side of NEBULA
®
(photo I)
6. Remove NEBULA
®
’s tank from its housing, unscrew the bung at its bottom and fill it with
demineralised
water at room temperature. Screw the bung back and put the tank on its base. The bung is provided with
a safety valve that prevents water from leaking when the tank is capsized.
NOTICE: it is important to use
demineralised
(distilled or deionised) water to prevent the formation of
limestone in the basin of the humidifier’s base and to obviate the remote chance of clogging the egg shell
pores.
7. When the incubator is stabilised, unplug and open it. Put the eggs inside it as per specifications. Once this
operation is made, close the incubator and reconnect the power.
8. Insert the connection (4) in the hole at the top of the tank
(photo J)
positioning the hose as per
photo K.
9. Connect NEBULA
®
to a suitable power source. Inserting the plug activates the humidifier.
WARNING: it is recommended to follow the instructions in the above described order.
Plug the sensor wire into the mini-USB socket before connecting NEBULA® to the power supply..
5. HOW THE HUMIDIFIER WORKS
When the humidifier is plugged-in, all the icons present on NEBULA
®
’s display light up for a general start-up
check. They will all go out for a moment except for the RIVER logo. The icon RH% and the factory preset
percentage (45.0%) restart immediately. The blue icon starts pulsing after some seconds. The intensity of the
blue colour and the pulsation frequency show how intensely the humidifier is working.
The tank allows an autonomy of some days, according to the set humidity and the capacity of the incubator.
Ensure that it never runs out of water. When you remove the tank, before repositioning it dry both the base
surface
(photo L)
and the tank bottom
(photo M)
with an absorbent cloth.
It is possible for some condensation to form inside the incubator during hatching (especially visible from the
water openings), when a higher humidity level is required. This does not affect the success of the hatching, nor
the proper functioning of the ET series incubator.
NOTE: it is no longer necessary to fill the water basins in the incubator.
Do not cover NEBULA
®
while it is operating.
NOTE:
When incubating eggs from webbed-footed birds, you may need to open the incubator at times to spray
the eggs. Before doing so, unplug NEBULA® and remove the sensor to prevent its reading from being influenced
when restarted. To restart, reinsert the sensor first then connect NEBULA
®
.
6. SETTING OF THE HUMIDIFIER
It is possible to modify the humidity percentage during incubation and/or during hatching according to the
parameters given by the incubator manufacturer or according to one’s own needs. To do this, press and release
the ( ) or ( ) button until the desired value is reached (during the setting, on the display it will be followed by the
letter “P”). Press the menu button ( ) to confirm the set value or wait some seconds to allow its memorisation.
The display will show again the present humidity percentage, while NEBULA
®
works to achieve the new set
percentage value.
7. COUNT OF INCUBATION DAYS
NEBULA
®
is equipped with an operation days’ count function. Since they correspond to the days the incubator
is activated, the humidifier acts also as a calendar.
To view the working day, press the menu button ( ). The icon DAYS and the corresponding value will light up on
the display
(photo N)
. The value will be displayed for 20 seconds.
It will be necessary to reset the day counter when every new incubation cycle starts. Press the menu button ( )
to enter the DAYS function and keep the buttons ( ) and ( ) pressed at the same time until resetting (the display
will show “1”). It is anyway possible to modify the datum while NEBULA
®
is working by pressing menu ( ) to
display DAYS. Press the ( ) button until the letter “P” appears. Press the ( ) or ( ) buttons to display the desired
day. Press again menu ( ) to confirm.
