Placement of Model
Ventilation
Your incubator must be located in an indoor area. The area must be
clean and ventilated. Ideal distance from walls is 50 cm. Don’t place
machine close to the walls of incubation room. The Incubator must not
be exposed to direct sunlight and not subject to splashes of water or
high humid conditions.
Place your incubator to a flat surface far from doors and windows.
Ideal incubation room temperature is 20–25 °
°°
°C. Wide temperature
variations in the room affect your incubation results. If your area is
very cold or hot, use air condition system in room.
Be sure that room is being ventilated adequately for fresh air
intake.
Embryo needs proper oxygen levels and produce carbon dioxide during incubation.
To supply oxygen in proper level and remove carbon dioxide, ventilation is
essential.
In CT series models, ventilation is supplied automatically with fan and air-in / air out
holes. Air in/out ventils are adjustable.
Air in/out ventils can be adjusted by left / right turn to decrease air in/out by
considering egg amount in your incubator.
Caution! Never close air- in / out holes.
Caution! Always keeps air- in / out holes fully open during hatching period.
Caution! Never make animal breeding in incubation room.
Caution! Be sure incubation room has adequate air intake.
Caution! Don’t let room temperature below 15 °

°C and above 30 °

Caution! Don’t let reaching of animals and insects to the incubator.
Caution! Don’t let accessing of children or person that have physically or mentally

Egg Handling
Temperature / Humidity Controller
Eggs must be collected carefully and stored in good conditions up to setting. Quality of eggs is very important for hatchery results. Sanitizing
eggs before storage is an effective method for killing or decreasing the amount of microorganisms in egg surface. You must know that
sanitation processes does not only kill the bacteria, but it can also kill the chick embryo in the egg. Use proper sanitary procedures.
Ideal egg storage temperature is 12–13 °
°°
°C. Store eggs in cool condition (between 10 to 20 C) and never let them be exposed to sunlight.
Daily turning of eggs is suggested during storage to maintain hatchability.
Caution! The eggs never be stored in refrigerator. (4 °
°°
° C is very low)
Caution! Storage of eggs in bad conditions higher than 7 day decrease egg quality and so hatchability.
Caution! Eggs must be stored 1 day minimum before setting.
Caution! For dirty eggs, never use cloths to clean and improper washing procedures.
In egg incubation, the most important factor is temperature. Temperature control is provided by electronic controller which manages heater
units with high precise electronic control system.
Embryos tolerate short term temperature drops, however higher temperatures than ideal affect embryos detrimentally. Be sure that your
temperature setting is true and don’t concern about short term cooling of eggs when cover open for water adding or inspections.

Humisonic
TM
Automatic Humidity Control
Humidity adjustment in incubators is for
providing
adequate water loss from egg
s
. And also
high humidity levels for last 2
-
3 day
are
also very important. Egg needed to lose between 13-16 % water depending on the species during incubation period. Weighing of eggs
during incubation is most trustable method to find proper humidity needed to good hatching results for particular poultry species.
Different from temperature, short term humidity changes during incubation are not important. Providing an average humidity in desired level
during all incubation period is enough to achieve good results. However, high humidity levels during hatching period ( last 2-3 day) is very
important. When the chick started to hatch, inner membrane of egg dries quickly. This makes membranes harden and chick can stick to
shell. To prevent drying of membranes, humidity must be adjusted to high levels depending on species for last 2-3 day of incubation.
Installation
- Connect Humisonic
TM
reservoir right side of the incubator.
- Place stainless Humisonic
TM
unit to the bottom of reservoir.
- Connect top reservoir 4 lt with Humisonic
TM
reservoir by flexible hose.
- Connect Humisonic
TM
cable to Adapter and adapter to the control panel.
- The float valve in Humisonic
TM
reservoir will keep water level 1 - 2 cm above water level sensor.

Don’t forget that humidity values depend on temperature values, always check humidity values at temperature set point.
You could not decrease humidity below a point and could not increase above a point . This low and up limits depend on humidity level of
your incubation room.
CAUTION! Never fill humidity trays with cold water. Use warm water close to incubator temperature set point. Ideally 25-30
0
C
Humidity Tray
CAUTION! Don’t forget that humidity tray is a part of the incubator and always keep it in bottom, even empty. Advisable to fill
one channel of humidity tray during setting period ( Setters / combined types) and full fill for hatching period last 2-3 day.
( hatchers / combined models)
Keeping water in humidity tray gives many advantages to user and decrease the risk of incubation,
- Humisonic
TM
automatic system water can be finish out of your control,
- Humisonic
TM
automatic system life will increase with low working,
- Any failure on automatic system, water in humidity tray keeps humidity in acceptable level,
- System consume less power so low energy cost for your incubation process.

CT series also offers Setter (S) and Hatcher (H) models in 3 different capacities from 60 to 180 chicken egg.Using a separate hatcher gives
advantage user to work with exact temperature and humidity values for embryo needs. And also a separate hatcher decreases microbial cross
contamination risk between eggs in setter and hatcher.
Eggs of different species which have different incubation time can set together by adjusting the transfer date to the same day.

Incubation Records
Incubation records are very important to identify performance and also problems of incubation.
Name of species, setting date, transfer date, hatching date, number of egg set, number of fertile egg, number of chicks, % hatchability,
can be recorded for future reference. Eggs must be controlled for fertility, early and late dead identification.
%hatchability can change for different species. Hatchability can be calculated by dividing number of chicks to number of fertile eggs.

Caution! Disconnect the incubator from electric supply during cleaning or service.
Caution! Service and spare part changings must be carried out only by a qualified person.
Internal parts of cabinet and egg trays must be cleaned after every hatch with a proper sanitary solution. Apply recommended
sanitation methods and chemicals for cleaning.
Caution! Never use water higher than 50 C for cleaning. Electrical parts of machine must be kept dry during cleaning.
If you are using your model seasonally, after egg season have finished, clean your incubators and keep it open to dry all parts for min
1 day. For control panel and fan panel cleaning, use dry soft brush and alternatively vacuum cleaner.
Always check inside temperature and humidity of your model periodically with a high quality calibrated glass or electronic
thermometer. if needed.carry out a proper calibration procedure.
Egg Incubation is a continuous work. Please keep your model in your control. Cimuka or sale agents will not be held responsible for
any loss of eggs or chicks under any circumstances. Almost all parts of Prodi series incubators have easy spare changing and plug
and play features. Always keep critical parts as spares For your spare part and service needs, contact with your dealer.
