❓ Frequently Asked Questions about MG244 Mercurius spare parts

Is the MG244 voltage motor the same as the MG316 Neptunus?

Yes, the complete voltage motor code 117/B NEW (€77.17) is identical and interchangeable between the MG244 Mercurius (144 eggs) and the MG316 Neptunus (216 eggs). The timed electric actuator supports a maximum load of 250 eggs, making it well-sized for both models. The only difference is that the MG316 has 3 basket levels vs. the MG244's 2 levels, so the basket holder frame code TEL.MG316 has a different height. The motor itself (with support, belt, and egg turning bar code T VOLT.AST.) is a common component of the Astrale series. Expected life: 8-10 years with semi-professional use, 10-12 cycles/year. If the motor does not turn, first check the 2A fuse code CF521220 (€0.42) in the fuse holder code ITWHK52001 (€0.63).

Can I upgrade my old MG244 with the EVO PLUS control unit?

Yes, the EVO PLUS control unit, code EVO PLUS (€320.00), is compatible with all MG244 Mercurius versions from 2015 to today, including units with older analog or basic LCD thermostats. The upgrade requires a complete kit: EVO PLUS control unit + professional T/H probe, code SONDA T/H (€42.50) + plastic front panel with graphic membrane, code FRONT.LCD E. (€16.60). Upgrade benefits: 2.4" color TFT display vs. monochrome LCD, temperature accuracy ±0.1°C vs. ±0.5°C analog, automatic humidity management RH% 20-99% if connected to ultrasonic nebulizer cod.UM.US (€52.00), incubation calendar with egg hatching stage icon, voltage time slot programming (up to 4 custom intervals), preset programs for 8 species (hen, duck, goose, quail, pheasant, partridge, turkey, guinea fowl) + CUSTOM program. DIY installation possible with WhatsApp video tutorial or remote assistance included.

How do I manage humidity with MG244: manual, semi-automatic or ultrasonic system?

MG244 Mercurius offers 3 humidification levels: (1) Manual: trays code F02 (€8.72) + lid (€6.70) to be filled manually every 2-3 days, economical but requires daily checking. (2) Semi-automatic (recommended): BAC.10/45 tank (€13.86) with float code 97G connected to an external 5lt tank code 0083 (€8.82) via a tube code TUB, automatic constant water level, tank filling every 7-10 days. (3) Digital ultrasound: nebulizer cod.UM.US (€52.00) + inlet bushing cod.BOCC.148662 (€0.84) connected to EVO PLUS control unit, automatic RH% control 20-99% with ±1.5% precision. For 144 chicken eggs with a 21-day cycle: semi-automatic system with optimal cost/performance ratio. Ultrasound is only necessary if humidity precision ±2% is required for critical species (pheasants, rock partridges) or if EVO PLUS control unit already installed.

Are MG244 cell baskets compatible with other FIEM incubators?

Yes, MG244 cellular egg baskets are universal MG series and also compatible with the FIEM industrial range (MG576, MG720, MG1300, MG2500). Standard dimensions approximately 30x50cm. 7 types available for each species: hen 72 eggs, pheasant 98, red-legged partridge 126, quail 170, turkey/duck 50, goose 28. Material: professional high-density plastic, stackable for storage, can be used for collecting eggs in chicken coops before incubation. MG244 includes 2 basket levels in the basic kit. Advantage: if you own multiple FIEM MG series incubators (e.g. MG244 + MG316), the baskets are interchangeable. Not compatible with the SMART, COSMO, DIGIT, CIP CIP series which have different sizes. Lifespan: 10-15 years with normal use, washable with water and disinfectant (Virkon S, euclorina).

The MG244 electronic fan is making excessive noise. Is this normal?

No, electronic fan code 36/D (€46.31) with aluminium blade code V254-28° (€6.62) must be silent (around 35-40dB). If the noise is excessive: (1) Check the safety net code F13 (€16.59) so that it does not touch the blade during rotation. (2) Check that the aluminium blade is not deformed or has accumulated dirt (clean with a damp cloth). (3) Self-cooling bearings on the fan could be worn out after 8-10 years of intensive use → replace the entire fan code 36/D. (4) Ventilation dampers code S/11 (€3.36) if completely closed create strain on the fan → open at least 50%. The fan's self-cooling bearing technology guarantees a 10-15 year lifespan, but dust and humidity can accelerate wear. Annual preventive maintenance: remove F13 mesh, clean V254-28° blade with a cloth, and check for smooth rotation by hand. If the fan doesn't start: check the 220V power supply and 2A fuse.

Are a °F thermometer and hygrometer mandatory if I have a digital EVO PLUS control unit?

Not mandatory but highly recommended as a cross-check. °F thermometer cod.05/A (€22.05) and °F wet bulb hygrometer cod.25/A (€22.05) are precision analogue instruments independent from the electronic control unit. Advantage: if the EVO PLUS control unit has a sensor malfunction cod.SONDA T/H (€42.50) or an electronic fault, the analogue thermometer continues to work and you can intervene before losing brood. Thermometer range 80-105°F (26-40°C), ideal for a quick visual check. Wet bulb hygrometer requires 100cc bottle cod.4 (€2.10) + cotton wick cod.28 (€2.10) + metal support cod.S.S.B. (€1.37), measures relative humidity via the dry/wet bulb temperature difference (professional zootechnical method accurate ±2%). Installation: clip cod.clip T/H (€0.53) fixes the thermometer to the internal grill. Replace wick every 3-4 cycles or when hardened due to limescale.
