Pheasant Incubation Basket 38x35 cm MG70/100 MG100/150 MG 140/200

🌡️ Who would have thought that a simple glass tube with some red liquid could make the difference between a perfect hatch and a disaster?

Yet, after 45 years of experience in the poultry industry, I can assure you that the 05/A thermometer is precisely the detail that separates successful breeders from those groping in the dark. 🎯

This column thermometer, with its perfectly calibrated Fahrenheit scale, is the watchful eye that constantly monitors your precious embryos, ensuring they receive exactly the 37.7°C (100°F) that is vital for their development.

⚠️ The mandatory transition from mercury to colored alcohol, imposed by European regulations, has made this instrument slightly more delicate - the red column could fragment if stored incorrectly or subjected to temperature changes.

💡 But don't worry: as the FIEM manual suggests, placing it in the freezer for a few minutes and then immediately under hot water often solves the problem. And what if it just won't come back together? For just €22.05 (excluding VAT), you can get an original FIEM spare part guaranteed for 24 months for private individuals, or 12 months for VAT-registered customers.

🔧 The beauty of this thermometer is that it can be installed in just a few seconds in its dedicated clip (code 17A), gently rotating it from the bottom up—never frontally as specified in the manual. Position the bulb midway between the eggs and you'll always have the temperature situation of your incubator under control, whether it's a Smart or a CipCip 28/40 .

📊 Don't underestimate the importance of this little guardian: even a small change can compromise your hatching percentages.

💧 The Smart base is not just a simple base: it is an intelligent humidification system with 4 independent sectors which, combined with the KIT.UM.SMART, guarantees perfect hatching!

At €20.48 (excluding VAT) , this plastic base (part no. 4 in the exploded view) is the heart of your Smart incubator's humidity control. Its four separate sectors allow you to precisely adjust the humidity: one sector for basic incubation, two for medium humidity, and all four for 62% hatching.

🎯 Expert advice: always pair the base with the KIT.UM.SMART (component no. 15 - €26.50) for optimal automatic humidification. The base + kit combination eliminates manual water management and maintains consistent levels, dramatically improving hatching rates. After 45 years in the industry, I can assure you that this combo really makes a difference!

📊 As the FIEM manual indicates, correct humidity is crucial: 47-52% for incubation, 62% for hatching. The four compartments of the base, especially when integrated with the automatic kit, give you the precise control that separates professionals from amateurs.

⚠️ When should you replace it? If you notice cracks with water leaks, if the seals are no longer sealed, or if the plastic is warped from heat.

✅ Compatible only with Smart and prepared for KIT.UM.SMART. CipCip uses a different system with separate trays.

🛡️ Two vital functions in one piece: protecting the electrical terminals and holding the thermometer. The terminal cover is not just a cover, but an essential multifunctional component!

At just €1.90 (excluding VAT) , this component of the Smart model plays a fundamental role in two ways. As you can see in the exploded view (component no. 3), the MORS. cover protects the electrical terminals from humidity and accidental contact, but also serves as a support base for the 17A clip where the 05/A thermometer is inserted.

⚡ This dual function makes it critical: without it, you not only risk short circuits due to the exposed terminals, but you also lose the anchoring point for the temperature reading system. The incubator's constant humidity can seep into the exposed electrical connections, causing malfunctions or worse.

🔧 When should you replace it? If it's cracked or broken, if it's no longer securely attached, if the thermometer clip is no longer securely attached, or if you see signs of overheating on the plastic. A damaged casing compromises both electrical safety and the accuracy of temperature readings.

⚠️ Installation requires care: always unplug the unit before working on electrical parts! The cover is placed over the terminals and snapped on, making sure the thermometer clip seat is properly aligned.

✅ Compatible only with the Smart model (not for use with CipCip, which has a different structure). Given its critical dual function and low price, it's wise to keep a spare in the drawer.

🚚 Ships from Como in 1 business day, delivery 2-4 days. Minimum order €20. FIEM since 1975 , Padovan Avicoltura always has the entire range of spare parts. 24-month warranty for private individuals, 12 months for VAT number.

🔧 Do you know what the most underrated part of the incubator is? The little clip that holds the thermometer in place!

It may seem incredible, but this tiny ABS clip, worth just €0.53 (excluding VAT), is essential for holding the thermometer in the correct position. The 17A clip is FIEM's specific support for the 05/A thermometer.

💡 If the thermometer doesn't stay in place or moves while turning the eggs, the readings become unreliable. A damaged clip can compromise temperature monitoring, which is crucial for hatching.

⚠️ As specified in the FIEM manual, the thermometer should be inserted into the clip from the bottom up, rotating slightly—never attach it from the front to avoid breakage. This correct procedure protects both the thermometer and the clip itself.

📍 When should you replace it? If the thermometer won't stay in place, if it moves or falls, if you see cracks in the plastic, or if you need to use alternative means to hold it in place. Given the minimal cost, it's a good idea to have a spare.

✅ Compatible with all Smart, CipCip 28 and CipCip 40 models. In the 2025 price list it is indicated as "ABS THERMOMETER HOLDER" and costs only €0.53.

🛒 Important: This item requires a minimum order of €20 (excluding VAT). You can add the 05/A thermometer for €22.05, which already exceeds the threshold, or other small spare parts such as the P67 cable gland (€0.63) or the MEMB.TAST.DIG keyboard membrane (€2.80).

🔝 The clear lid isn't just a window onto your eggs: it's the thermal barrier that keeps temperature and humidity stable, determining the success of your hatchings!

At €30.50 (excluding VAT) , the Smart Lid (part #14 in the exploded view) is much more than just a clear plastic cover. It's designed to create the perfect climate chamber that maintains a constant 37.7°C and the necessary humidity, while allowing you to observe development without constantly opening the lid.

🌡️ The transparency of the material is no accident: it allows you to visually check the thermometer and eggs without losing heat. Any unnecessary opening can cause fluctuations of 2-3°C, which slows embryonic development, which is why an intact and well-sealed lid is essential.

⚠️ When should you replace it? If it has cracks or breaks, even small ones, that cause heat and moisture leaks. If the plastic is cloudy from years of use and you can't see clearly inside. If it no longer seals tightly, leaving gaps. If it has been deformed by excessive heat or impacts.

🔧 As the manual indicates, during the last two days of hatching, the lid must be kept tightly closed to maintain humidity at 62%. It's tempting to open the lid to watch the chicks hatch, but each opening compromises subsequent hatchings!

✅ Compatible exclusively with the Smart model . The specific design with the correct curvature ensures optimal air circulation studied by FIEM.

📱 Not sure about the condition of your lid? Send us photos of the complete incubator and lid from various angles on WhatsApp .

🚚 Protected shipping from Como in 1 business day. Reinforced packaging to prevent breakage. FIEM since 1975 , Padovan Avicoltura guarantees original spare parts. 24-month warranty for private individuals, 12 VAT numbers.
