I'm "confused" .... Ok the Janoel 12 I have just has temp reading which has been right on but no humidity. It does have an alarm setting for humidity.
I put the mercury thermometer in the incubator, temp 100 & humidity 35 - 38%. Incubator was at factory setting 38C/100.4*
I calibrated the hygrometer as learned here, salt slurry in a ziplock bag for 6hrs ... Hygrometer temp read 77* humidity was 71% (I'm in HI). I added it to my incubator with a mercury thermometer that also read humidity (temp 100 humidity 35 - 38%).
Maybe I didn't wait long enough but in a couple of hours, the Mercury was reading the same but the Hygrometer said 102.9* humidity 25% ? I'm thinking the Mercury is more likely correct, maybe the Hygro needs more time to stabilize as it takes 6hrs for testing?
I got this cause the reviews were good, like that it's all plastic & seems easy to operate but I maybe over thinking & impatient with testing the temp & humidity. Any advice you can give me, I would really appreciate. Don't have any eggs waiting, want to get this unit mastered before I even plan on any eggsThank you
You may have more of an issue where you live, you need to leave the Hygrometer and the humidity alone for 24 hours please and be aware that some of this will need to change because of that
