  If the pilot lights and readouts are dark on your Forma Scientific Accessories, several issues could be the cause. First, ensure the unit is plugged in and the main power switch is turned on. Also, check if the circuit breaker or outlet overload protection has tripped. Verify that there's voltage at the outlet. Finally, a defective incubator wiring might be the reason.

  Mary MccarthyAug 23, 2025
  If the CO2 alarm and light are on, and the alarm reactivates after being reset or disabled on your Forma Scientific Accessories, it could be because the CO2 level has deviated more than 1% from the setpoint or the CO2 supply has been interrupted. Other potential causes include a defective CO2 inject circuit, a defective CO2 solenoid, or a defective CO2 sensor fan.

Why does FYRITE read lower than the CO2 setpoint on Forma Scientific 3158 Accessories?
- J
  james20Sep 5, 2025
  If the CO2 setpoint and display agree, but the FYRITE reads lower on your Forma Scientific Accessories, it could be that the FYRITE hasn't been zeroed, the wool filter in the FYRITE is dry, or the FYRITE fluid needs changing. Additionally, the chamber's absolute humidity might have decreased, the control might be incorrectly zeroed, or the CO2 sensor or control could be defective.

What causes CO2 to overshoot the setpoint on Forma Scientific 3158 Accessories?
- E
  Erin SpencerSep 6, 2025
  If the CO2 overshoots the setpoint badly on your Forma Scientific Accessories, it could be due to an inoperative CO2 sampler blower, a defective CO2 control, CO2 inlet pressure being too high, or the unit being in over temp.
