Zoo Med REPTIBATOR Instrucciones

INSTRUCTIONS (ENGLISH)
Congratulations on your purchase of Zoo Med's REPTIBATOR
instructions will assist you with the programming and setup of this unit. Please read the following
instructions carefully before using your new incubator. If you have any questions regarding these
instructions or the proper use of this item, please contact our customer service department at:
[email protected].
FEATURES:
• Digital controller with LCD display and LED heat indicator light.
• Pulse proportional thermostat for stable temperature regulation.
• Temperature control range from 15°C to 40°C.
• Humidity display range from 10% to 95% relative humidity.
• Rigid 55 watt heating element.
• Programmable temperature alarm.
• Built in memory stores settings in case of power failure.
• Clear cover allows for easy egg inspection without opening incubator.
• Multiple water reservoirs molded into incubator base. Flow-through ventilation and sponge insert
allows for even evaporation and proper humidity levels within the incubator.
® is made with a state-of-the-art pulse proportional thermostat. Instead of
Your new REPTIBATOR
simply turning the heater on and off based on the temperature set point, the pulse proportional ther-
mostat supplies power as needed in a series of electrical pulses to maintain a constant temperature
inside the incubator. When the incubator has reached the set temperature, the LED heat indicator
light will occasionally fl ash as the heater receives short pulses of electricity to maintain this tempera-
ture. This conserves energy and prevents against high and low temperature cycles associated with
traditional on/off type thermostats.
SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS:
IMPORTANT: In order to reduce the risk of fi res, electric shock, or personal injury, read and
save these instructions prior to operation.
• Use only with a 230 V, 50 Hz. grounded outlet.
• DO NOT stretch or strain the power cord connected to this device.
• DO NOT allow heavy objects to rest on any of the REPTIBATOR
• DO NOT immerse any of the REPTIBATOR
• DO NOT allow direct water contact with the REPTIBATOR
• DO NOT operate the unit with a damaged cord, plug, or other component.
• DO NOT alter or modify this product. Contact an electrician if you are unsure about the electrical
connection.
PROGRAMMING THE CONTROL UNIT:
Upon plugging in your new REPTIBATOR ®
will illuminate. Once the controller has been programmed, the new settings will be stored in the con-
troller's memory. In the event of a power failure, or if the unit becomes unplugged, the programmed
settings will resume once power is restored.* There are three functions that can be programmed on
the REPTIBATOR ® : the temperature scale (°C or °F), the temperature setting, and the alarm setting.

PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS TO
PROGRAM YOUR NEW INCUBATOR:
1. CHANGING THE TEMPERATURE SCALE (°C OR °F)
The controller can be set to display the temperature in degrees Celsius or degrees Fahrenheit. If the
controller is already showing the desired temperature scale, skip this step and proceed to step 2. To
select the desired temperature scale (°C or °F), press and hold the up arrow button
press the down arrow button to change the temperature scale.
* Zoo Med recommends plugging your REPTIBATOR
"Uninterruptable Power Supply." This will allow your REPTIBATOR
to continue to function in the event of a power failure.

REPTIBATOR ® may rise above the set point during the initial heating cycle and stabilization period.
After a short time, the temperature will drop and stabilize at the set point. DO NOT place eggs inside
the REPTIBATOR ®
Note: The temperature shown on the display is the temperature that is read at the sensor housing
inside the incubator. If the eggs are not directly under the sensor, the temperature at the location
of the eggs may be slightly different. To check the temperature at the location of the eggs, place a
thermometer in the incubator at the desired location and allow the temperature to stabilize. Compare
the reading at the thermometer to the temperature on the display and adjust the setting accordingly.

3. PROGRAMMING THE ALARM SETTING:
When programmed, the alarm function will alert you when the temperature in the REPTIBATOR
above or below the programmed setting. When the alarm is triggered, the LCD display will fl ash, along
with the letters "TEM" and the
programmed temperature by the set number of degrees, the alarm will activate causing the controller
screen to fl ash. For example; if the temperature setting of the REPTIBATOR
Setting is 02 (two degrees), the alarm will be activated if the temperature rises above 30°C or falls
below 26°C. When the alarm is set to "00" it is disabled.
To program the desired alarm setting, press the down arrow button
ming mode. The current alarm setting will show on the display along with the letters "TEM" and
the symbol. Press the up
reached. Press the button once to adjust the temperature by one degree Celsius or Fahrenheit. To
move rapidly through the numbers, press and hold the up or down arrow button. After fi ve seconds of
no activity, the controller will exit the programming mode and return to the normal display.
HUMIDITY DISPLAY:
Maintaining adequate humidity during incubation is critical for hatching success. Your REPTIBATOR
Digital Egg Incubator is equipped with a hygrometer to measure relative humidity, and is located
in the sensor housing just behind the controller. The relative humidity inside the REPTIBATOR
indicated by the smaller set of numbers on the right side of the display under the label: HUMIDITY
(%RH).
The relative humidity level inside your REPTIBATOR
following methods:
• Moistening the sponge included with your REPTIBATOR
• Adding water to one or more of the water reservoirs in the base of the incubator.
Ventilation is provided by a series of small holes and slots in the REPTIBATOR
REPTIBATOR ® through the small holes in the base, and then out through the ventilation slots along
the top edge. As air fl ows gently through the incubator, water inside the incubator will evaporate and
the relative humidity will increase.
DISCLAIMER:
Captive breeding of reptiles is exciting and educational. The REPTIBATOR
has been thoroughly tested by Zoo Med in our own breeding facility with great hatching success.
However, due to the numerous adverse conditions that can result in hatching failure, Zoo Med does
not guarantee hatching success with the REPTIBATOR
include (but are not limited to) improper relative humidity levels, improper temperature levels, power
failure, REPTIBATOR
parents, genetic mutations, and infertile eggs.
