5.1 NORMAL OPERATION – Temperature and relative humidity are continuously displayed.

The asterisk “*” adjacent to the temperature reading shows when the heater power is on. When warming

the asterisk will be continuously on, once warmed up the asterisk will slowly flash as the heater is pulsed

to maintain the correct temperature. When reducing the temperature setting the asterisk may go off, this is

normal.

The asterisk “*” adjacent to the relative humidity display is only on when the pump control output is on

(see section 8) and is only applicable when using the optional Brinsea Advance Humidity Management

Module.

5.2 POWER LOSS DISPLAY – If power has been interrupted due to a power cut (or when first switching

on) a “P” is shown flashing in the corner of the display. Press OK for 2 or more seconds to clear the

indicator. If the reason for the power loss is not known check the power cable connections are secure.

Once the “P” indicator has been cleared, it is advisable to candle eggs a number of times to check for

losses.

5.3 HIGH TEMPERATURE ALARM DISPLAY – If the measured temperature goes up by more than the

figure in the ALARM HI screen, the alarm will sound immediately and “+T” will be displayed. Press OK

to silence the alarm for 30 minutes.

If the high temperature problem rectifies itself the “+T” remains on the display to show this has

happened. Press OK to clear the indicator. Check the incubator is not (and has not been) in direct sunlight

or too near a heat source such as a room heater. It is advisable to candle eggs a number of times after this

event to check for losses.

5.4 LOW TEMPERATURE ALARM DISPLAY – If the measured temperature goes down by more than the

figure in the ALARM LO screen, after 30 minutes “-T” will be displayed and the alarm will sound. Press

OK to silence the alarm for 30 minutes.

If the low temperature problem rectifies itself the “-T” remains on the display to show this has happened.

Press OK to clear the indicator. Check the incubator is not (and has not been) in a cold draught or that the

room temperature has dropped significantly. It is advisable to candle eggs a number of times after this

event to check for losses.
