F.A.Q.
1. How are the eggs turned?
The MPS24 comes with a universal egg turning tray as standard, made of tropicalised galvanised metal. The turning tray has bars which should be fitted to the size of eggs best should be selected, The eggs are set horizontally, in rows, in the turning grid as in the picture below. A motorised turning system then
pushes the tray to the left then to the right, rolling the egg in each direction.
2. Humidity - how is controlled?
Humidity levels are controlled by adding more or less water into a receptacle on the side of the incubator. Humidity varies from one area of the country to another, so it is hard to say how much water you will need. Spot checking using a hygrometer is the only sure way of telling you have got it right.
3. Can a Hygrometer be Fitted? We can now fit a digital hygrometer to the MPS24 Incubator!. This accurate hygrometer will give you the percentage relative humidity in your incubator, and is one of the best accessories for your incubator. It makes
a good incubator superb!! Fitting this hygrometer costs only £20 4. How is temperature controlled?
This incubator comes with a high precision thermometer. The thermometer is put into a hole in the incubator lid, the incubator switched
on and allowed to settle. Heating is indicated by a red led light on the side of the control panel inside the incubator. As the temperature is reached the red led will start to flash. This is normal and indicates the correct functioning of the electronic temperature control card. If the temperature needs increasing then a small knob on the top of the
incubator is turned a small amount to increase or decrease the temperature. Wheatcroft Poultry Opinion: This is an ideal incubator for a small-scale poultry keeper, who wants to incubate inexpensive eggs for pleasure. For a auto turn incubator, it is cost effective,
reliable, and does what it is designed to do. It is only single skinned plastic, but when used indoors, or in warmer weather, this is not a problem. Bought with a mounted hygrometer, this incubator is the best small incubator on the market. Buy with confidence.
