C. Loss of Power

Minimizing Smoke During Loss of Power Using Battery 
Back-up

Harman® strongly recommends installing battery back-
up to minimize entry of smoke into the room in the 
event of power loss.

Your  pellet/biomass  burning  appliance  relies  on  a 

combustion blower to remove exhaust. A power failure will 

cause the combustion blower to stop. This may lead to 

exhaust seeping into the room. Vertical rise in the venting 

may  provide  natural  draft.  It  is,  however,  no  guarantee 

against leakage.

There are two Harman® approved battery back-up 
options for your appliance:

Uninterruptible Power Supply UPS

 battery back-ups are 

available online or at computer and office equipment stores. 

Your  Harman®  appliance  with  Rev  E  or  later  software 

available  beginning  in  November  2010  may  be  plugged 

directly into a Harman® approved UPS:

•  The  APC  (American  Power  Conversion)  model 

#BE750G and the TrippLite model INTERNET750U are 

tested and approved. Other brands or models may not 

be compatible.

When power is lost, a fully charged UPS will power a safe, 

combustion  blower  only  shut-down.  Your  appliance  will 

pulse the blower every few seconds to clear exhaust until 

the fire is out.

 NOTE: The UPS provides safe shut-down 

only. It is not intended for continued operation.

•  The Surefire 512 connects to a 12 volt deep cycle battery 

that will run your appliance for up to eight (8) hours. It 

includes a trickle charge feature that keeps your battery 

charged when power is available. NOTE: If the power is 

out for longer than battery life, smoke leakage may still 

occur unless your stove has been safely shut down.

Your appliance will recognize when power is restored. What 

happens  depends  on  ESP  temperature  and  whether  it  is 

equipped with automatic ignition:

 

In “Automatic” Mode

, units equipped with automatic 

ignition will respond to the set point and ESP temperature 

and resume normal operation.

• 

In “Idle” Mode

, or for units without automatic ignition:

•  If  the  ESP  is  cool,  the  appliance  will  remain  shut 

down.

•  If the fire is out and the ESP is still warm, the feeder 

may restart. Since the fire is out, the ESP temperature 

will not rise. The unit will then shut-down, and may 

flash a six-blink status error. (See ESP error codes)

•  If  the  fire  is  still  burning,  it  will  resume  normal 

operation.

Contact  your  dealer  if  you  have  questions  about  UPS 

compatibility with your appliance.

Use only Harman

®

 approved battery back-up devices. 

Other products may not operate properly, can create 
unsafe conditions or damage your appliance.

CAUTION

!

Always keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed 
and latched during operation and during power 
failures to minimize risk of smoke or burn-back.

D. Emergency Manual Ignition

Harman

®

 pellet stoves and inserts should be lit using the 

automatic ignition system. This is the safest and most 

reliable way for igniting the unit.  In the event the automatic 

igniter is not functioning, the steps below may be followed 

to manually light the stove or insert in the “Constant Burn” 

mode.  Manual  lighting  is  for  emergency  purposes  only, 

and the igniter should be repaired or replaced as soon as 

practical.

WARNING

!

Only  use  firestarter  commercially  marketed  for  pellet 

stoves  and  inserts,  including  wax  coated  wood  chips, 

pellet  starter  gel  and  pellet  igniter  blocks.  Use  of  any 

other type of firestarter is prohibited.

To  avoid  serious  injury  or  death  read  and  follow 

manufacturer’s warning and instructions for use of firestarter. 

Use of firestarter is only permitted when performing a cold 

start.

Never attempt to manually light a stove or insert that has 

been operated recently and is not at room temperature. 

If  automatic  ignition  was  attempted,  be  sure  to  give  the 

stove or insert at least 30 minutes or longer to cool to room 

temperature.

Be sure that the stove or insert is in the “Constant Burn” 

mode of operation.

Once  all  the  precautions  have  been  taken,  follow  these 

steps:

1.  On  the  touch  control,  select  the  Burn  Mode  icon  then 

select “Constant Burn”.

2.  Arrow back and select the Igniter icon then select “Manual” 

for the ignition method. Select the Home Icon to go back 

to the Main Menu.

3.  Fill burn pot with pellets, only half way. (Do Not Over Fill).
4.  Add  firestarter  to  pellets  following  manufacturer’s 

instructions.

5.  Light pellet gel with a match, and close the door, touch 

the On/Off icon on the home screen. Operation will begin 

when the fire reaches the proper temperature.
