12 VOLT POLYHATCH & HATCHMAKER
These instructions apply to special 12V.DC versions of these products.
32. 12 volt products are for low voltage supply only and must never
be connected directly to the mains.
33. Connect to a 12 volt vehicle battery observing the polarity,
brown to +, blue to -. The condition of the battery and room
temperature will determine the interval between charges.
34. Maximum continuous current consumption will be 4.0 Amp
(Polyhatch) or 2.5 Amp (Hatchmaker). A fully charged 40
Ampere/hour battery will operate a Polyhatch for at least 10
hours. (4 Amps x 10 hours = 40 Ampere/hour). Twice this life
may be expected in reasonable ambient temperatures.
35. 12 volt products may be run from the 230v mains supply via a
transformer/rectifier or a battery charger suitable for the current
indicated above. The voltage may be from 11 to 14 volts DC.
Some small temperature adjustment may be necessary when
changing between different supplies.

HATCHMAKER, POLYHATCH & HATCHMASTER
STILL AIR INCUBATORS & HATCHERS
USER INSTRUCTIONS
These instructions outline the essential procedure for successful incubation
of most domesticated species in this range of still air incubators. For more
detailed information and for less common species, a variety of books
is available. However, note particularly the differences between
temperatures quoted for still air and forced air incubators in any text
references.
The instructions below apply generally to all models. The differences
between the models are as follow:
Hatchmaker: For use as a manual turning incubator or as a hatcher.
Automatic egg turning is not applicable. Humidity pans are in the form
of two concentric rings moulded in the base beneath the egg tray. Access by
removing the egg tray or pouring water through the egg tray.
Polyhatch: Incubator with automatic egg turning. Humidity pans
are moulded into either side of the base with pouring channels accessible
under the tray end covers. Packaging includes spare turning arm – do not
throw away.
Hatchmaster A: Incubator with automatic egg turning. Humidity pans
are in the base with filling slots outside the incubator front. Damper lever
to control fresh air inlet in the centre of the front of the incubator. Move to
the left to reduce humidity (increase ventilation). Packaging include spare
turning arm – do not throw away.
Hatchmaster H: Intended for use as a hatcher for eggs incubated
in another machine. Automatic egg turning not applicable. Humidity pans
in the base with filling slots outside the incubator front. Lift-out window
provided for easy access to chicks.
Location
1. Ensure a steady room temperature day and night around 21.1°C (70°F).
Use an electric heater with a thermostat if necessary.
2. Keep out of direct sunlight. Beware of rapid temperature rise
due to sunlight. Ensure that the incubator is on a level surface.
3. Check that available electrical supply matches the machine.
Always disconnect the power supply before moving the
incubator.
Temperature
Caution: Errors in temperature account for most failures.
Adjust with care.
4. Your incubator may not be set to the correct temperature from
factory. As the incubator warms up and approaches its control
setting the red LED will change from continuously on to flashing.
Allow 2 hours to stabilise the temperature before setting eggs –
check against thermometer supplied. The thermometer is
mounted in a swivel clip. Ensure that the bulb is adjusted just
clear of the top of the eggs.
5. Fine adjustments can be made with a small screwdriver by
adjusting the screw on the control panel - clockwise to increase
temperature. A half turn is approximately 1°C (3°F). The red light
indicates when the heater is on and will flash about once every
second when the incubator is up to temperature.
6. Recommended temperatures: Incubation period
Hens 39.2°C 102.5°F 21 days
Pheasant 39.5°C 103°F 24 days
Quail 39.2°C 102.5°F 17 days
Ducks 39°C 102°F 28 days
Geese 39°C 102°F 28-32 days
Troubleshooting
31. Candle eggs with a high intensity light source (such as the Brinsea
Egglume) to gauge the extent of embryo development and air space
increase during incubation. Break open unhatched eggs.
1) Clear when candled - probably infertile (or very early death)
when candled at 8days
2) Fertile with red blood vessels - after 8 days
3) Red or black staining - early death when candled at 8 days
4) Embryo with red blood ‘ring’ - early death (candled at 8 days)
5) Dark outline with ill defined detail - late death (10-16 days)
6) Live embryo with bill in air sack - due to hatch in 24-48 hours
7) Normal development of the air pocket according to the
number of days
32. Incubation advice is available from Brinsea Products and a range
of books on the subject can also be supplied.

Hatching
23. Stop egg turning 2 or 3 days before hatch is due. Remove the rods.
24 hen first egg pips, raise humidity to maximum by adding warm
water to both pans.
(Hatchmaster A: move ventilation lever to right).
25. Keep the incubator lid on and don’t interfere! Humidity will rise
rapidly when chicks emerge and condensation may form.
26. When most eggs have hatched (12 to 48 hours) remove
hatchlings to a brooder to dry out. (Brinsea Cosy-Lamp
recommended or TLC-4 Brooder or Parrot Rearing Module
for exotics).
Cleaning up
27. Unplug from the electrical supply!
28. Discard shells and unhatched eggs. Wash the egg tray in
running water. Wipe incubator base with a damp cloth and
dry thoroughly.
29. Remove dust from incubator top with a soft brush.
Caution: Keep electrical parts dry!
Servicing
30. No routine servicing is necessary other than cleaning. In case of
failure refer to your distributor or to Brinsea Service Department.
All operational parts are available and may be fitted by a suitably
qualified person. Instruction sheets are supplied with replacement parts.
7 Temperature variations (day to night for example) or constantly
low temperature can cause malformations or partial development
of the embryo. Constantly high temperature will tend to speed up
development but risk early death from heat stress.
Brief temperature reduction when checking water levels or
inspection will not affect the development of embryos.
Humidity and Ventilation
Note: Short term variations in humidity are not important.
The average over the incubation period needs to be near
optimum for the ideal weight loss.
8. Recommended humidity:
During incubation: Poultry 40-50% RH
Waterfowl 50% RH
Exotics Check literature
As a general guide for poultry, set the eggs with water in just one
pan (Hatchmaker-inner ring) and adjust humidity according to
weight loss or air space development.
If the incubator is less than half full, cover two ventilation holes
in the lid to reduce ventilation. At hatching stage, humidity will
rise sharply as chicks emerge.
9. To increase humidity, increase wet surface in incubator by filling
both water pans in the moulded base.
10. To reduce humidity, reduce wet surface and if necessary increase
ventilation. (Hatchmaster A: move damper lever to the left).
11. Caution: excessive humidity can cause problems!
The air pocket in the egg should occupy between a quarter and a
third of the egg at time of hatching. If humidity is too high,
chicks will be wet and sticky and the air pocket too small leading
to death 24 to 48 hours before hatching.
12. Measuring humidity accurately is particularly difficult in “still
air” incubators. The relative humidity will be higher at the
bottom where the temperature is lower. Be cautious of
instrument readings. Preferably weigh eggs because humidity
affects their weight loss. Aim for 12-13% loss over the
incubation period. High humidity reduces weight loss and vice-
versa.
Storage of eggs
13. Store eggs in a cool, damp place. Avoid storing longer than 14
days. Turn eggs daily during storage.
14. Discard soiled eggs if possible. Don’t wash eggs unless under strict
directions with branded solutions such as Brinsea Incubation
Disinfectant.
Manual egg turning (Hatchmaker)
15. Mark each egg with a pencil “X” one side and “O” the other.
This ensures that you can see which eggs you have turned. Turn three
times a day starting on the second day. Always turn about
the pointed end to reduce the chance of damaging the internal
structures of the egg.
Automatic egg turning (Polyhatch & Hatchmaster A)
16. The Polyhatch and Hatchmaster A both come with a spare arm. In the
event of an overload or jamming of the turning system the motor will
be protected by the breakage of the arm. Any debris should be
cleared from the incubator then check the tray moves freely before
fitting the spare arm. Spare arms (part number 21.12) are available
from Brinsea Products, call 0870 226 0120.
17. The movement of the tray from side to side causes the eggs to
turn. The extent of movement of the tray must be adjusted to suit
the size of eggs being incubated as follows.
18a. Polyhatch: the underneath of the egg tray on one side is marked with
an “L”. For large eggs (geese, turkey, large duck or hens),
the “L” should be above the turning motor.
18b. Hatchmaster A: The black plastic arm with a wheel under the centre
of the egg tray is a push fit on the drive shaft and can be eased off
with a screwdriver.
There are three available holes in the arm. For larger eggs such as geese
requiring maximum tray movement use the hole furthest from the wheel. Use
the central hole for hens, duck, turkey etc. and the hole nearest the wheel for
bantams, pheasant quail and most exotics.
The arm may then be pushed firmly into the drive shaft, observing
the position of the “flat” on the shaft. Replace the egg tray.
19. Replace the two metal end covers to engage in the first notch and
cover the spaces at the ends of the moving tray.
Note: Always keep the space clear at the ends of the moving tray.
Damage will result to the turning mechanism if this is obstructed.
20. Place the dividing rods across the incubator in the locating notches, spacing
them so that the eggs lie freely in between (for hens eggs normally every
fifth notch). Use two rods in each notch for larger eggs.
21. Set the eggs between the rods. Check manually that the tray is free to move
(depending on the position of the turning arm) and that all the eggs roll.
22. Plug in the electrical supply to the socket in the base of the incubator. Eggs
are turned twice/hour. Movement is slow but nearly continuous. The tray
will stay at each end position for about 15 minutes.
