T I P!
This program performs initial incubation setting value continuously
even if you disconnect the incubator with PC after starting incubation.
And when you connect the incubator with PC again, all data will be
sent off to the PC.
In other words, you can connect the incubator and PC only when you
need to change setting or check temp. & humidity during disconnection.
If you started incubation from PC, you must also terminate
incubation by PC.
T I P!
Program termination is different from incubation termination.
Even if you terminate the program for other works
, incubation
will progress continuously. Incubation termination means all
hatching is done, and you can execute only with
button
on your PC. .
T I P!
When you remove the USB cable from computer, be sure to terminate computer.
If not, error can be caused on the computer.

This button is for terminating incubation.
After incubation termination, all incubation data such as real-time value, temperature, humidity, and
setting graph etc. will remain as DB. You can use this same conditions later when you want to incubate.
2
After incubation termination, blue Signal bar will be changed to red signal bar and do not flash anymore.

15. Upgrading Firmware
4
1
Press “MENU” button without power connecting.
Connect the USB port.
When you upgrade firmware, connect USB port
Between 1 and 4.
(Generally, 1~4 are at the back side of PC, and
USB port No. will change according to the position.)
CAUTION
Be sure to install USB driver
before upgrading firmware.
CAUTION
2
If you operate the computer with firmware
upgrade, it doesn’t work. Before upgrading,
screen saver has to stop working.
For stop screen saver, press right button
of mouse on desktop. Next, enter to
Properties. There is a screen saver.
Please stop there.
In the state of pressing “MENU” button, connect
The power code.
Click

If you press “MENU” button with power supply,
“Firmware update” message will show as above.
Then, take off your hand from the button.
5
It goes to Program CD or downloaded file path.
There, click “Rcom_Manager” file.
Click
RCOM Manager File
6
Select “RCOM_Manager” file above Window explorer.
10
Select Firmware file and click “Update(U)” button.
11
Wait a while during updating is on process.
New version Incubator (about 9min. is needed)
Old version Incubator (about 19min. is needed)
Click
7
Double-click “RCOM_Manager” file.
Click
8
The file as above will show.
Click “File”.
(Be sure to check the incubator is
connected with PC through USB cable.)
12 The message shows,
it means update is normally completed.
Then, it returns to initial condition.
When it failed, error message will show.
In this case, restart from first stage.
Click
9
Select firmware file with “BIN” extension.
(The name can be different from the version.)
13
For normal operation, unplug the power
cord and re-plug again after firmware
upgrade completed.

Incubator View Window is opened.
Be sure to cover the window.

Please contract to service center.

1. You started incubation
not from the PC but from the incubator.
In this case, the data can be different from
the incubator.
2. When temperature or humidity get out of the limits,
it alarms continuously even if it returns to normal
setting extent.
It only can be cancelled with "Off" button.

Some error occurred in temperature sensor.
Please contact to service center.
17. Troubleshooting
Circumstance
Solutions
1
Incubator doesn’t operate
normally on the program.
Take off incubator power cord and cut power supply. Put the power
cord again after 1~2min.
2
Incubation starting alarm sounds
more than 2 times.
It can be various from connecting conditions between incubator and
PC. But if it repeats continue, try to the solution No.1
3
There is no D-Day display and
Bird icon on LCD.
You added new( non registered) species of birds on program logo
window. It is normal, and there is no problem. You also can upgrade
firmware version later.
4
Weight & Density loss graph is
not indicated well.
You did not input exact egg data or the range of data goes off the rails.
5
You connected the incubator
with computer, but the
connecting mark is not appear.
When you use the incubator first time, the computer does not connect
with computer at once, and find computer connecting port
automatically. It takes about 1~2 min. After it finds connecting port
once, it directly recognize the port later.
Without power supply, the connecting sign does not show.
The temperature and humidity is
not applied normally.
This case can occur when you terminate the program or remove USB
cable before all temperature or humidity data transferred to the
incubator. When you want to terminate the program or remove USB
cable, be sure to check this sign
is disappeared.
Incubator humidity cannot meet
the setting humidity value, and
real-time graph draws irregularly.
Short of water or humidification pad does not have enough absorbing
power because of impurity on the water. In this case, boil the
humidification pad on the water diluted with 10% of vinegar.
Real-time temperature and
humidity graphs are not
indicated.
Even if the connection of USB cable is removed or the program is
terminated on incubation, the incubator keep the change of
temperature and humidity and transmit to PC when it connected.
During transmitting, the graph can not appear.
The computer data is different
from incubator data.
The incubator data can different from computer data when you started
incubation not from computer but from incubator.

Incubation condition data which is input on the computer is regular conditions.
The conditions can be different from the species of birds or state of birds.
