The CONTAQ Z6 recreates the natural nest environment with a warm air-filled plastic diaphragm (the skin), which can be
inflated and deflated. Also features forced draugh mode (for precise environmental control) and hatching mode. A conveyor
belt system rotates the eggs.

To control the CONTAQ Z6 Brinsea has developed a fully flexible system using an 8 bit microcontroller with a 16 character
display. Through a simple 3 button, menu-driven interface the breeder can control:

• Temperature – of the skin
  
• Humidity level – of the egg chamber
  
• Cooling – duration and interval that the skin is retracted from the eggs, simulating the bird leaving the nest.
  
• Turning – direction, angle and frequency of egg rotation with option to randomize egg turning within user defined limits.
  
• Alarm – for low temperature, high temperature and if the lid is not closed.
  
• Internal alarm sounder and message on the display.
  
• Fault finding – built-in Engineering Mode allows the user to monitor virtually all components including: heater, fans, motors, alarms and lid switch. The expert can override recommended default values.
  
• Power Back-up – battery may be connected at same time as mains for auto back-up.
  

Designed for ease of sterilization and long operational life

The CONTAQ Z6 can incubate eggs of different sizes simultaneously. As a guide, typical maximum egg capacities are: Quail 152, Hen 60, Goose 24, Macaw 100, Parakeet 200.

The professional breeder or advanced amateur now has an incubator which can be relied on to produce consistently higher yields of precious eggs.
