QUOTE(swiftcurrent @ Jan 16 2011, 11:58 AM) hope you have already identified the source of the "noise" issue. analogue timers are easy to set up. Presumably yours come with battery backup. If not the dial will not be in sync with the correct time whenever there are power outages. I have stopped using the analogue timers as i find the digital timers more reliable and versatile. The battery backup last for days vs few hours in the case of analogue timers. When the power resumes, all the settings - clock, date, timing programs etc remains. The only drawback for digital timers is having to be careful when doing or redoing the settings, make sure there are no overlap. Once you have the hang of it, digital timers are just great gadgets. The Hager EH711 analogue timer. French made, very popular among the old timers. Can say most old timer ONLY use this brand. New comers said it's expensive, better buy digital timer. Digital=modern Analogue=Grandfather. Each interval setting is 10 minutes instead of 15 minutes on other cheap analogue timers. How reliable is it? A 2 year old Hager can still keep the clock running accurately after 15 days unplugged. It not only can be used to turn on and off electricity. Under certain circumstances it can be used to cut off sound signal of speaker cables. And easily set up as relay switch for player switching. This timer even got imitation units from China and Korea. If it's lousy then who would bother to immitate it? Attached thumbnail(s)

QUOTE(cbh838 @ Aug 30 2011, 10:03 PM) hi , i am quite new in this venture and have the following questions: 1. found 4 t0 5 eggs drop on the swiftlet shits below the nest (same spot). what is the possible reason for this. 2. found 1 baby swiftlet with feathers already dead on the floor below nest (this particular nest has 2 baby birds). what is the possible reason. hope senior members with similar case or knowledge can help. thanks alot .   Check the dropped eggs if the shell is soft if u have many non-hatched eggs on the floor. If soft means dead eggs due to over temp. Parents kick the dead eggs out to make room for new eggs. Eggs can survive up to 35-36dg nesting spot temp but not more than that. Got to stick your data logger on the ceiling to get nesting spot temp. |
