Janoel12 temperature

[Viicente76]

Hi guys my name is Vincent,I just got a Janoel12 and tried to incubate duck eggs but it was unsuccessful...I got some new ones already and I’m going to give another go,the problem is that if I set the temperature to 37.5 it seems to be lower inside...I have a thermometer from eBay and I put it inside the thermometer indicates 35.4 but the janoel12 indicates 37.5...
I have also a forehead infrared thermometer and that indicates 37.5,which o e do I trust?

Idk about your unit but ran mine set at 38.0 with chicken eggs and have had great success.

This is good to know. I just turned mine on today and I'm so confused because last time I used it (two years ago) I actually was able to keep it at 37.2-37.5°C and see 99°F on my hydrometer. Now, my hydrometer is only reading 94°F and I have the temperature set at 38.0°C on the incubator. So confused. Hopefully it will rise overnight. I'll keep it on 38!

Good luck!

I’m having trouble I just used mine s year ago and I’m going into lockdown and it wanted to read 104 degrees. I have two temperature readers in it now. And I’ve lowered the top temp . I’m not sure what’s going on with it. It’s frustrating for sure.

Is the little temp probe that hangs dowb damaged or pushed up too high or anything?

Doesn’t seem like it. But I’ll check it! Thank you!

I have the same problem. I set the incubator to 38.0 and the inside thermometer reads lower. Did you change the top temperature? Was your hatch successful even with this issue?

I have this incubator and found that the temps needed to be calibrated quite a bit! Mine was off by almost 4.5 degrees. You want to use a couple good thermometers (or the combo thermometer/hydrometer) inside the incubator—one in the middle and one on the edge, and then recalibrate the incubator temps to match. Once I did that it’s been pretty consistent on temps. I have hatched more than half of my quail eggs so far, with good success!

Ok thank you I will try that and get those babies warmed up to the correct temperature
