7– Using SIRIO during incubation
Turn on the incubator and make it run dry without water and without eggs for at least a few hours.
After two hours of no
-
load operation, insert the eggs and make it run for at least another 2
-
3 hours.
After the 2
-
3 hours of incubator operation with the eggs inserted, turn on Sirio by inserting the power supply jack
in its front socket. Next insert the feeder plug into a power outlet.
The display will show the desired humidity value detected, the symbol “H” means “humidity”.
To set the desired humidity value, act on the buttons (+) and (
-
) located on the control panel. By pressing
indifferently on one of the two keys, you enter the memory (the letter “P” appears next to the numbers), then press
the keys on impulse until the desired value is reached, as per paragraph No. 9. Once the humidity is set, wait for this
value to be saved (when current internal humidity re
-
appears along with the letter “H” on the display).
From this moment, SIRIO starts working by pumping water inside the incubator when necessary, making a rotating
symbol appear on the display. In other moments the appliance remains in standby
SIRIO is programmed to inject small drops of water little by little, in order to allow the evaporation which
determines the environment required relative humidity. Upon start
-
up, it will require 2 to 4 hours to reach the set
humidity value. If the quantity of water inside the incubator is more than necessary, the time required to reach the
set humidity value may be longer.
ATTENTION: if for brief periods (even a whole day) the humidity is not correct, this does NOT result in any imbalance
in the incubating process in progress.
ATTENTION: if during incubation it were necessary to carry out candling or cool down the eggs (as with
incubation of palmipeds), disconnect SIRIO from the power outlet before opening the cover. This will keep the
pump from continuing to insert water into the incubator when the humidity goes down due to opening.
Once the operations are completed, reconnect SIRIO to the power outlet after at least two hours.
