WATER LEVEL SENSOR
This incubator is equipped with a water level sensor. The water level sensor is set automatically when the
humidifying pan is installed. Take care not to damage the water level sensor when removing or installing
the humidifying pan.

Note:
Make sure that the humidifying pan is pushed all the way to the back and that the water level
sensor comes down when you install the humidifying pan.
Note:
• Lift the water level sensor before installing the humidifying pan if the water level sensor is in the lower
position after maintenance.
• When installing the humidifying pan, make sure that the humidifying pan is set properly and that water
level sensor comes down into the humidifying pan. The water level alarm lamp (RH PAN) blinks if the
water level sensor does not come down completely. If necessary, set the humidifying pan again in the
proper location.
• The water level sensor detects the water level every 30 minutes and just after the outer door is closed. It
takes several seconds to detect the water level. Therefore, the water level alarm lamp may flash a few
times after the outer door is closed even when the humidifying pan is full.
CAUTION
Foreign particles on the water surface can adhere to the water level sensor and fittings by capillary action
because the water level sensor is always in the water. The adhered foreign particles degrade water level
sensor performance. Therefore, the water level alarm lamp (RH PAN) may blink even though enough
water is in the humidifying pan, or RH PAN lamp may not blink even though enough water is not in it. Be
sure to wipe OFF any dirt on the water level sensor with alcohol for disinfection whenever you change the
humidifying water. When cleaning the water level sensor, take care not to apply excessive force to the
lead wires.
