I just set up my Brinsea octagon advance and only half the fans are running. It has a total of 4. The ones on the left run all the time as far as I can tell and the ones on the right don't run at all. Is this normal??

The best incubator, and the best eggs. I'm jealousThanks everyone. I have never used a Brinsea, I've been using an older Hova Bator incubator up until now. I'm excited to give the Brinsea a try. For sure I will post a review and keep everyone informed on how it is going with the 40. I have a full load going in on Monday or Tuesday depending on when the new top gets here. (Cream Legbars, Blue Isbars and Black Copper Marans going in). Wish me luck.
I had the exact issue. I trusted the unit, and my first 2 hatches were drug out slowly between days 21 and 23. All chicks were healthy, just slow to hatch and never a flurry of activity. I would just get a chick ever few hours. I bought a spot check, and measured temperatures from 97.9-99.9. I didn't want to fry them, so I bumped the display up to 100.0. I have run two hatches that way, and the results were incredible. A couple of hatches on day 20, the majority on day 21, and a few stragglers on day 22, all healthy. I would say run the first batch at the factory settings. Even if the hatch is drawn out, they will be healthy. If it is drawn out, try bumping the next one up to 100.0The new top came in yesterday as promised. I have everything set up and running. I want to let it run a couple days before my eggs get here. The temp seems to be a little low. I have the Brinsea set at 99.6 and my calibrated thermometer is saying it is 97.9 in there. Should I just trust the Brinsea? I mean that's why I paid the extra. I did contact Brinsea and they said to trust the unit. What are your thoughs? Anyone else have this issue?
