classroom incubator kit
   

The ideal package for educators interested in introducing the wonders of life to their students but without specialist knowledge

or a large budget. The Classroom Pack provides all the equipment you will need (including full operating & troubleshooting instructions)

and a detailed Lesson Plan manual & CD-ROM.

The 'Egg Story' Lesson Plan

A 50-page color manual has been designed to simplify the educator's task. Crammed with fun hands-on activities and color

photographs of developing embryos it is great for creating students interest and a comprehensive source of information for

the teacher. The perfect companion of a hands-on experience of incubation

 

"The Egg Story" manual shows how an egg is formed, what its different parts and functions are and how a chick embryo develops

and hatches. It also gives an insight into particular biological topics such as blood circulation, respiration and how bones are different

in birds. Students will develop observation and record keeping skills, make and use measurements. They will acquire biological

vocabulary and an understanding of physical development, structure and function of the body.

 

Further useful resources have been included at the end of the manual to consolidate the embryology project but also enhance programs

in nutrition and mathematics for instance. Particularly suited to middle school science projects, the lesson plans are flexible and can

easily be tailored to younger students needs.

The process of incubating and hatching eggs is a delight to watch and is made easy with the new R-com 3 egg incubator.

Designed in Korea as an educational incubator the R-COM really works! Three hens eggs are gently warmed and turned automatically as they incubate and the display even counts down each day to tell you when they are due to hatch.

The R-Com is menu driven and extremely easy to use: just choose between one of the 5 settings (chicken, duck, pheasant, quail or mystery bird - to be programmed) and the micro-controller holds the correct temperature, turning and length of incubation. Turning will even stop automatically 2 days prior to hatching; all you need do is top up periodically with water. Detailed, attractive instructions are supplied to guide you through the do’s and don’ts.

CHICKS IN R-COM INCUBATOR The eggs must be fertile, of course (no good using eggs from the supermarket) and 4 fertile bantam eggs are supplied.  With order.

Additional Features of the R-Com Pro-20

Automatic mode which allows the user to simply select the species being incubated, add water and leave the incubator to select the correct conditions. The incubator will cease turning eggs two days before hatching and will indicate the number of days remaining until hatch. Additional species settings are being continuously researched and the incubator can be updated with the latest settings with a simple internet download.

Manual mode which allows the user to program all functions, temperature, humidity and egg turning frequency and angle. Incubation period is not programmed in manual mode; egg turning must be stopped by the user.

PC mode The incubator is provided with USB connection and PC software. The software provides all the incubation controls along with records and data analysis of the incubation process. E.g. egg density loss can be plotted to check humidity settings are correct.

Brinsea humidity controlContinuous accurate control, water metering and direct display of current condition in % Relative Humidity

Control of incubator humidity is the no.1 cause of confusion and misunderstanding in incubation procedure, frequently resulting in poor hatching rates.

The solution to the problem is Brinsea's new H22 digital humidity management module incubator humidifer.

The module suits most fan-assisted incubators and provides continuous, direct and highly accurate relative humidity (% RH) readout. It also controls the amount of water evaporated within the incubator to maintain the humidity level set by the user.



The new H22 Humidity Management Module now features a digital display which clearly and continuously shows the Relative Humidity (RH) within the incubator, allowing you to both accurately monitor and if necessary adjust the humidity level in forced draught incubators as required, in order to help ensure maximum hatching success.

The Humidity Management Module will compensate for fluctuations in ambient humidity level, day or night, and allows the user complete control over incubation environment.

The unit stands beside the incubator, and is connected to it by a thin electrical lead and a flexible tube for water supply. The sensor mounts through a 25mm (one inch) diameter hole in the incubator wall, pre-cut on all Brinsea forced draft incubators. The H22 is suitable for many incubator brands holding up to about 1000 eggs.

For larger incubators, the H222 provides the same facilities but with a larger pumping capacity, suitable for incubators up to about 10,000 eggs.


Temperature Alarm Module
 
Continuous protection for valuable eggs from:
  • Power cuts
  • Blown fuses
  • Disconnection from mains
  • Tampering with temperature settings
  • Temperature fluctuations
  • Incubator failure

#HT-T100-BP   $279.00   for Octagon 100 or 250

#HT-T20-BP    $279.00   for any incubator or brooder       price does not Include s/h

temperature alarm

When disaster strikes and your developing chicks are threatened by any of the everyday problems listed above, the most important protection is for the breeder to be quickly made aware of the crisis.

If power failure happens in the middle of the night, the damage will have been done before morning, but in most cases action can be taken to protect the eggs, provided the user is alerted.

The Brinsea temperature alarm module offers immediate warning of change in temperature within an incubator. It relies on independent detection of temperature and includes an internal battery backup to allow the alarm to continue to sound in the event of a mains power failure. The high and low temperature limits are adjustable and in most cases the alarm can be set to go off if the temperature varies by 1.0ºF (0.5°C).

The module is available in two versions:

The T100 for fitting to Brinsea Octagon 100 or 250 incubators, only. The T100 has the additional feature of regulating temperature in the case of a failure of the main temperature control which could otherwise lead to uncontrolled temperature rise. In this case the T100 alarm will trigger and the heaters in the Octagon 100 series incubator are switched off. As the temperature then falls below the upper limit the heaters are switched on again and so reasonable temperature control is maintained.

The T20 can be fitted to any incubator or brooder. The T20 can be used to warn of temperature variation in any environment within its operating range of 77 - 104ºF range (25 - 40°C). The T20 simply requires its sensor to be inserted into the enclosure through a hole of about ¼ inch (6mm) diameter.

Both the high and low limits are easily adjustable with screwdriver operated trimmers. The system is flexible and allows the user to set the alarm sound if the temperature deviates by +1.0ºF or -3.0ºF (for example) from any temperature within 77 - 104ºF range.

A 'Silence Alarm' feature allows the sounder to be de-activated for about 10 minutes - useful when opening the incubator to check eggs. The sounder automatically resets after 10 minutes so there is no danger of the sounder being left inoperative by accident.

The internal battery backup allows the alarm to continue warning of a mains failure for several hours. The backup battery is automatically recharged when reconnected to the mains.

The T100 can be retro-fitted to Octagon 100 series incubators and fitting instructions are available.


Thermometers - Wet bulb / Spot check / Liquid in Glass

(Brinsea thermometers' price includes postage.**)

Wet bulb Thermometer - checking humidity directly
wetbulb thermometerComparing wet and dry bulb thermometers is the most accurate, low cost method for measuring Relative Humidity. Simple, direct reading hygrometers are available but vary widely in accuracy and are not recommended. The Brinsea wet bulb thermometer is specifically designed for use with the Octagon 20 and 40 and comes with conversion chart showing Relative Humidity. For automatic humidity control please see the H22 Brinsea Humidity Management Module.

Spot-Check Digital Thermometer
A very accurate, easily read instrument specifically designed for incubators with a range of 32° - 40°C (90º to
104ºF). Ten times more accurate than most digital thermometers, it reads to 0.1ºF with an accuracy of ± 0.2ºF. Switchable between ºF and ºC.
