Quick Guide
- Remove all packing material carefully.
- Please identify and check all parts of model. (see page 2-4 )
- Fill humidity tray with water (1 channel). Picture 1
- Place CS40Y hatchery basement and Conturn
TM
30 to the base.
Picture 2
Note: if your eggs is bigger than chicken egg, Conturn30 racks should be
adjusted for your egg type (see page 12-15)
- Plug your machine and Conturn
TM
adapter to electric supply.
Picture 3
Caution! Don’t use the equipments that need high electric current in the
same electrical line with your egg incubator.
Caution! Always use a grounded power line for your incubator.
- Press power-on button and set temperature for your eggs. Picture 4
(see page 8)
- When temperature was reached set point and after work min 1 hour,
check humidity value in digital controller. If needed, adjust humidity by
water channels (see page 10)
- The incubator must be worked for 3 - 4 hour to check all parts
before first setting.

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 40 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 PD series models, ventilation is supplied automatically with fan and
air-in / air out holes. Air-out ventils are adjustable.
Be sure that your air out ventils and air in holes are open.
Caution! Never close air- in / out holes.
Caution! Air-out ventils must be full 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 °
°°
°C
Caution! Never use your egg incubator on floor.
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
problems to the incubator.

Egg Handling
Temperature
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.

Humidity Adjustment
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.
Cabinet humidity value can be adjusted by water channels. Humidity values are shown in control panel digitally.
Humidity levels directly result of water surface area in base. PD models have different size of water channels to adjust humidity at desired
level.
Lowe t humidity
Highe t humidity
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 25-35

CAUTION! Never close air-out ventils more than 1/3.

Active Periodic Cooling (APC)
CAUTION! Active periodic cooling function is for professional users. If needed please take assistance from your dealer. Results can
change depending on poultry species, egg sizes, room conditions…etc. Inappropriate, long time of periodic coolings can result with late
hatching and chick looses.
In natural incubation, most birds leaves the nest for a period of time, at least one time after first week of the incubation. Eggs cool and dehumidify
for this period. Active periodic cooling (APC) lets user to mimic this natural behavior in artificial incubation.
Last researches show that periodic cooling of goose, duck and even chicken eggs during incubation has positive effects in hatch rates and chick
quality. Especially periodic cooling is very important for most of goose types. Without periodic cooling hatch rates can decrease up to 20-30% in
goose egg incubation. Most breeders makes cooling action manually by taking eggs out of the incubator, cools in hatchery room conditions and
sprays eggs with warm water and then place eggs to the incubator again.
Cimuka presents Active Periodic Cooling (APC) function with 2 different modes as “cooling for a time (clt)” and “cooling for a set (clS)”
Both modes have designed to simulate natural behavior.
Cooling for a time (clt) mode cuts the heater and humidifier power (for models with humidifier) for an adjusted time and system turns to standard
working conditions. Temperature / humidity alarms are off during cooling.
Cooling for a set (clS) mode cuts the heater and humid
ifier power (for models with humidifier) and drops temperature up to an adjusted set point.
It keeps the temperature at this point for an adjusted time than turns to standard working conditions. Temperature and humidity alarms are off
during cooling.
For both modes the system has;
Humidification option (for models with humidifier) just before cooling finished with adjustable parameters; humidification time and max humidity.
fan assistant cooling option (for models with cooling fan) to reach desired cooling temperature faster.
Cimuka’s advanced incubator controller lets user to change all parameters with Active Periodic Cooling (APC) menu to try and achieve best hatch
rates for different poultry specie’s eggs.

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.

- Eggs of different species which have different incubation time can set together by adjusting the transfer date to the same day.
- PD30SH model with optional CS6 hatchery basket and PD60 SH model can be used by setting partially. Between 2 set must be min 5 - 7
