Ok, thank you. I've fried things before when I wired them wrong, so I wanted to double check.

No worries on this unit when it comes to the wiring of that turner motor. The placement of the wires will only affect the direction the motor turns, it still moves the turner the same amount.

Can someone please explain the different columns in the following graphics?

First graphic : what does 'Trn On T' and 'TrnFullC' mean?



Second graphic : what does 'Ctrl Ofs' - 'Ctrl Rng' and 'OSPslope' mean?



Thanks,
Steve

Hey there Steve, let me help out here.

Trn On T is turner on time, or how long the turner is on for.

TrnFullC is how often the turner turns on.

Crtl Ofs is the point the heater element starts to cool off to avoid over heating.

Crtl RNG is how many degrees the heater cools over, the degree period if you will.

OSPslope is having to due with the power slope for the heater unit itself.

Please keep in mind they are advanced settings and not meant to be changed too much. I hope this was helpful.

Hey Patrick, Thanks - can you explain to me the following 'TrnFullC is how often the turner turns on'

According to the chart, he default is 6 times in a 24hr period. - if this occurs every 60 minutes wouldn't the egg be rotated 24 times in a 24hr period?
Or is each 3sec interval only a partial turn? in this case a 1/4 turn?
Then if the interval for each setting is always 3 seconds, that would mean the speed at which it turns varies i.e... faster - fewer turns, slower - more turns.
That that be accurate?
Thanks,
Steve

Never mind - I figured it out. 3 sec intervals less often at a 1/4 turn each time...
Thanks,
Steve

I'll be joining the IncuView family soon I'm so stinkin' excited!

All the contributions to this thread really helped make me feel at ease about ordering, and with such a great deal on them for the holiday, it was hard to say no I can't wait to join you guys!

I chose this as my second incubator, my first is a brinsea mini adv. I have button quail eggs and serama eggs in there right now. I know the trays are meant to be universal, but the eggs seem like they might be too small for the auto turner?? I'm worried that the incremental turning won't be enough to push them as needed. Also, the quail eggs won't stay sitting straight and turn over to their sides. I'm hopeful they'll still roll, they seemed to move if I pushed the tray manually before I left the incubator be. The light of my display is also flickering with the top set down but I think it is just vibrations from the fan josting whatever is running it which is ultimately no big deal.

Other than these worries, I have really high hopes for finding reason to stick with and get more of these. The obvious draws for me was a very automated incubation, the big view and the capacity for the price. It has features I wasn't expecting that I was going to miss from my brinsea (mainly the countdown and the turner going off automatically at 3 days) and other nice perks I had no idea about: I love the illuminated display, how quietly it runs, and that I can position the probe where I want it. Mine got to temp in 5 minutes and has held/ I also like that everything isn't tucked away where it is not exactly easy to clean, and the screws on my brinsea mini advance rusted to the point of crumbling, so good luck to me getting those out again.. I'll have to have replacements bought and ready for the next time I get in there and clean out chick fluff. All of it seems easier to clean, honestly. The UI isn't understandable right off the bat but it isn't rocket science either, and what's more there is a UI AT ALL.. thank goodness.

Eggs are supposed to lay on their sides in the incuview. It's not an upright egg turner.
