1 Introduction
These instructions detail the operation of your new 190 or 380 egg Digital Cabinet Incubator with programmable automatic egg turning system. Please read these instructions carefully before setting up your machine to achieve best results and keep these instructions safe for future reference. This document includes recommended procedures for successful hatching but incubation involves the control and manipulation of a large number of factors and in certain circumstances different procedures may be necessary. Your incubator is designed to allow the user to vary the incubation conditions to suit a wide range of species in different ambient conditions and the specific set-up for every situation is beyond the scope of these instructions.
There is a range of books available covering incubation techniques, for more information or to request a book list please don’t hesitate to contact us.
The Ova-Easy Advance incubators are available with the option of the Advance Humidity Pump for automatic humidity control. Operating instructions for this module are supplied separately.

2 Unpacking & Assembly
2.1Your incubator has been supplied in protective packaging. Please remove all tape, strapping and packing from the incubator parts. Retain the carton and packing materials to enable the unit to be repacked.
2.2Please check that parts are all present and undamaged.
2.3Check also that the electrical supply matches the machine’s requirements (marked on the technical label on the outside of the box and on the top cover of the Incubator).
2.4To register your new Brinsea product please visit www.brinsea.co.uk and follow the link on the right hand side of the home page to qualify for your free 2 year guarantee.
2.5Go to www.Brinsea.co.uk and register as a free member of the Brinsea Email Group to receive the latest news and information such as advance notice about new products, special offers, exclusive competitions and much more.
3 Location and Installation
THE INCUBATOR MUST BE PLACED IN AN INDOOR AREA NOT SUBJECT TO SPLASHES OF WATER OR WET CONDITIONS AND OUT OF REACH OF ANIMALS AND CHILDREN.
3.1Your incubator will give best results in a room free from wide temperature variations and with generous ventilation – particularly if several incubators are running at the same time. Ensure that the room temperature cannot drop on a cold night. Ideally thermostatically control the room at between 20 and 25°C (68 and 77°F). Never allow the room temperature to drop below 15°C (59°F) and ensure that the incubator cannot be exposed to direct sunlight.
3.2Always place the incubator upright on a flat level surface. The 190 size incubator weighs 20Kg and the 380 size incubator weighs 27Kg. Ensure the surface is adequate to support the weight of the machine and contents.
3.3Open the door, slide out the Evaporation Tray and fill with 1:200 mix of water and Brinsea disinfectant solution. The water level should be no higher than approx 1” (2.5cm) from the top. The evaporating block is not normally needed unless very high humidity levels (e.g. for hatching) are required or the optional Advance Humidity Pump is being used. Close the door.
3.4Plug the incubator supply cable into a suitable outlet ensuring that the cable is not pulled tight. The incubator fans will start, the buzzer sound and the LCD display will show the air temperature and humidity.
4 Quick Reference (please read relevant section for detail)
This quick reference is intended to allow users to quickly set up the incubator and learn the key features of the control system. Please read the rest of the instructions to obtain a full understanding of each feature.

5 DIGITAL CONTROL SYSTEM
T*37.5C
H*45% /
The Ova-Easy Advance control system utilises highly accurate, individually calibrated sensors for temperature and humidity. Be cautious of low cost analogue or digital thermometers and hygrometers when comparing them with the incubator display readings.
5.1NORMAL OPERATION – Temperature and relative humidity are continuously displayed. Turning status indicator shows if automatic turning is switched on or off.
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.
If automatic turning is switched off "=" is shown in the corner of the display.
If automatic turning is switched on a line "/" symbol is shown revolving in the corner of the display.
5.2POWER LOSS DISPLAY – If power has been interrupted due to a power cut (or when first switching on) a “P” is shown flashing on the bottom line 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.
