I am waiting for a replacement water tray heater as mine is broken, so it will likely be in the spring. We used a camping water container and connected a hose between it and the water tray. Make sure the container is above the tray level.
We just purchased one of these incubator and was very clueless on the operation of it. Thanks to you not as clueless anymore. However, there is one thing that ours does not have, a light. The switch is there, but no light fixture. Did yours come with a light or did you have to install one?
Ours did come with both the main light and the UV light, I added the LED lights as you can see from the video. I have two other videos about this unit if you haven't seen them already, one of them has some wiring info if that helps. Let me know if I can help in any other way, and good luck on your hatch.
hi there, very nice video.... i have a question: the airfan airflow is pointing-going towards the trays or towards the wall of the incubator... it sucks from the egg-trays or blow directly on them? thanks in advance... hi from Greece!
yeas sir i watch your all video very nice helpful thank you , i have one xm-18d controller. but i am confused to wiring fan+heater+motor humidity tube , i mean wiring cable & programing .
Why didn't you use the 12v connection on the control module for the LED supply, instead of a transformer? I would think that moisture would be detrimental to the light socket/outlet fixture. I really appreciate your videos. Thanks.
That's a very good point Pete, I guess it was because it was an easy solution as I had already sealed up the controller with silicone because I was getting moisture build up inside. I haven't had an issue with the transformer nor the outlet since the install.
Have you had any problems with the rite farm cabinet incubator, since the making of this video? I can't seem to find any reviews on them. Your videos are very informative, thank you so much. I just wonder, how is it holding up?
Hi Brooklyn, Our incubator is running great, we did have some challenges. The water dish was replaced due to rusting of the spot welds, the main breaker went (was replaced for free by Rite Farm Products) and the window seal failed. We really love the design and features but this unit needs some modifications. Since this video we have not made any further modifications nor had any further issues and have talked to other owners that have had similar issues. Hope this helps and thanks for watching.
How do you keep the humidity high? If the water gets above the heating element by just a tiny bit the humidity drops, same as if I let the water get down before the top of the heating element. I don't know what I'm doing wrong
+Terri Franklin sounds like your controller isn't turning on and off the water heater within the correct time frame. Is your fan running continuously inside of the incubator? Do you have a water hose connected to the float valve of the water tank? It sounds like you are manually filling it and by hooking up a water inlet so it maintains a continuous water level may just be the solution you are looking for. I hope this helps, let me know.
My fan Cycles regularly to push out the moisture but it does turn off and my water is on and gravity feed from a bucket on top of it so it's constantly got the water in it I'm having problems with the water level and it where where does the water level need to be in the pan to keep it at a 60% humidity or higher I can't get it past 55%
If you have a similar system to ours, the exhaust fan should remain off unless the temperature is too high and the main fan on the heating element should always be on to circulate air throughout the incubator. It sounds like your heating element is not functioning as it should. What is the temperature outside the incubator? If it is warm in the room the exhaust fan may turn on too often trying to keep the temperature down and lowering the humidity in the process. If these are not the problems, then I would recommend (if possible) replacing the container with one that has more surface area or replacing the water heater with a more powerful element. Good Luck.
Hello Valles, the exterior of the incubator is made of sheet metal (likely tin) and the heater appears to be a two stage (1500 Watt X 2) heating element. I hope this helps, Thanks for watching.
is there any way that u can rig up a large water container having the water down flow into the bottom pan so I could refill it whenever it gets low without having to open the incubator
Hi Shane I seemed to have missed you comment. Yes there is a way to hook up a gravity fed supply to your water container and this is the way I have hooked mine up. Please watch my first video on this incubator "Egg Incubator Review and Operation" here... ua-cam.com/video/SMEvRerYrO8/v-deo.html I hope this answers your question.
Please Sir the interior is made with the same material? and also does it run 24hrs or it stops at certain time when the temperature is reached and can you kindly give us the your temperature and humidity levels? thanks in advance
The interior is made of the same materials as the exterior. The fan runs 24/7 and the heater only turns on when heat is needed. We operate our unit at 100'F and 58% humidity. Hope this helps.
The size of this incubator works well for what we use it for, geese, peafowl and some duck eggs are larger and need to be placed apart from each other reducing the amount you can put on each tray.
Not sure what wattage the heaters are. The incubator controller can't exceed 8A @ 220 volts or 1760 watts. If you divide that by 3 (number of heaters) you get 586. The fan light also need power so you could say 500 watts then divide by 2 for safety and you are left with 250 watts. Without removing my heater and testing the resistance I would guess it to be between 200 and 250 watts. Hope that helps.
+Vida Minha When the incubator first starts from cold, it draws a total of 775 watts. The breakdown looks to be 350W for the water heater, 350W for the main heater and 75W for the fan and electronics. I will go into more detail when I start up in a month from now.
Very well explained!, How many Watts does the humidity resistance in the water tank have?

Tanks for Help, I checked the support link and they told me it was 300w. I am grateful to you.
You are very welcome 👌
Thanks for your video. Please should the thermometer and humidity sensors be placed at a particular position in the incubator for accurate readings?
I would recommend in the centre of the egg trays and half way up.
@@The10AcreWoods Thank you Sir
Can you please show how to attach the gravity fed water system. Thanks!

Ours has the UV light, but that's it. I watch all your videos about the incubator. Very informational. Thanks for doing them.

We spent many years with small ones and trying to figure it all out, ups and downs. We love sharing and encourage questions....
hi there, very nice video.... i have a question: the airfan airflow is pointing-going towards the trays or towards the wall of the incubator... it sucks from the egg-trays or blow directly on them? thanks in advance... hi from Greece!
The fan blows the air across the eggs, thanks for watching 😊

How did you seal up the controller?
What is the number on the back of the device that connects these 12v LED lamps?
How is the heater element fastened securely to the water pan to prevent leaks? Ours has come loose and i cant see how it was originally mounted.
The heating element is fastened with a round gasket, washer and nut on each point where it enters the pan. Hope it helps.
yeas sir exactly

Hello i will like to find out with which material is the incubator casing and what type of heater is in the incubator

Sir post one video that how Conner wiring &haow fully programing xm 18g
Hey Sohag, are you asking for full programing of the unit and also a wiring diagram of the circuit?
is there any way that u can rig up a large water container having the water down flow into the bottom pan so I could refill it whenever it gets low without having to open the incubator

Where did you connect the wite of the fan
I go over the wiring and programing in this video... ua-cam.com/video/JKUdM_1LtLw/v-deo.html
I have a question. We just received a new pro 352 set up. Should the turn switch be glowing when it's turned on?
It should, but ours doesn't either. One of the little quirks about this unit, it should be set on a one hour rotation by default.
Please Sir the interior is made with the same material? and also does it run 24hrs or it stops at certain time when the temperature is reached and can you kindly give us the your temperature and humidity levels? thanks in advance

Thanks very helpful i think it is the same principle for the humidity. Also will like to know how many outlet fans do you have your model
Sir do you aim the air flow of the fan to the racks? Or warmer element in the wall?
Hi Leo, the fan blows towards the racks with the heater element behind the fan. Hope this helps.
Thanks sir 😊, regard from Indonesia
I have other question, how is the size of your incubator sir?
The size of this incubator works well for what we use it for, geese, peafowl and some duck eggs are larger and need to be placed apart from each other reducing the amount you can put on each tray.
How is your hatching Rate,is it 70,90or 💯
I would say it's around 90%
Hi sir, may I know which kind of Fan used inside the Incubator?
You will need to contact the manufacturer as there is no markings on it. Rite Farm Supply
@@The10AcreWoods Thanks sir, I think that Fan is an Exhaust type, am I correct
Correct
How many watts for humidity heater,temperature heater and measurements of that box
Not sure what wattage the heaters are. The incubator controller can't exceed 8A @ 220 volts or 1760 watts. If you divide that by 3 (number of heaters) you get 586. The fan light also need power so you could say 500 watts then divide by 2 for safety and you are left with 250 watts. Without removing my heater and testing the resistance I would guess it to be between 200 and 250 watts. Hope that helps.
is it the same UV light, that use for the aquarium ? or fish tanks ?
No, UV lights are not the same as broad spectrum lighting used in aquariums and plants.
Hi, in this incubator fan blows against eggs or blows to the wall
The fan blows into the chamber and onto the eggs.
@@The10AcreWoods thank you for the answer
I am unable to find pro 264 incubator in USA do you know what web Page you found that on thanks
+Geoff Cox www.ritefarm.com/products.html
Can this unit be good to hatch parrot eggs
I have never tried but I can't see why not.
How many watts does this tube of glue?
+Vida Minha When the incubator first starts from cold, it draws a total of 775 watts. The breakdown looks to be 350W for the water heater, 350W for the main heater and 75W for the fan and electronics. I will go into more detail when I start up in a month from now.
