Remote Temperature Sensor (18 inches long).
Designed specifically for incubators, great for small incubators AND cabinet incubators (can switch heating elements up to 225 Watts).Digital readout displays temperature to the tenth of a degree (examples: 98.0, 99.5).Comes preset to 99.5 (this means that if you lose power the thermostat will come back on set to 99.5) - Preset to 37.5 in Celsius mode.This can be set to read in Celsius or Fahrenheit.Finally you can measure the temperature right next to your eggs, not the air at the top of the incubator. The white thermostat case is then mounted on the outside of the incubator. The unit has an 18 inch remote sensor that is placed inside the incubator. There is a flame indicator on the screen that shows when the heater is operating. Just press the up arrow to set the temperature (in 0.1 degree increments). Bi-Metal & Electronic on/off incubator thermostats also work well, but they require the correct amount of heater wattage to avoid excess overshooting or undershooting of the incubator thermostat set-point.This thermostat is very simple to use. The most accurate and consistent type of incubator thermostat is the Proportional Incubator Thermostat because it keeps a more constant temperature by turning the power to the heater up or down instead of turning it on and off. There are several types of incubator thermostats: Bi-metal Incubator Thermostat (sometimes called a incubator wafer thermostat), On/Off Electronic Incubator Thermostat, & Proportional Incubator Thermostat. Finding the right thermostat can be very difficult. See pictures and instructions for using an Egg Candler.Īn incubator thermostat is the most critical component inside an egg incubator. We believe that the best egg candler for the money is the IncuBright Egg Candler. When using an egg candler you will be able to see the developing veins & eventually movement of the developing bird. A very slow RPM motor is used to automate the egg turner.Īn egg candler (sometimes called an egg tester or egg testing light) is used to illuminate an egg so you can see the developing embryo inside the egg.
Automatic egg turners work by rocking or rolling the eggs to keep the embryo from sticking to the shell. This is accomplished by turning the eggs by hand or by using an automatic egg turner. Even though you can purchase a high-quality egg incubator for around $40, customers usually find it least expensive to buy an egg incubator combo kit that includes everything they need.īelieve it or not an egg must be turned at least 2-3 times per day to prevent the embryo from sticking to the side of the shell. The most common incubator accessories are egg turners, forced air fan kits, egg candlers, incubator thermostats & incubator thermometers. There are many egg incubator accessories that can improve the incubation process.
When evaluating the cost of an egg incubator, it is important to consider the accessories you plan to buy.
