On a P61A the draft
hole is under the left
rear corner of the
firebox.
low draft voltage adjustment
These units are pre-tested at the factory with exactly 100 VAC,
50 Hz. They are checked and adjusted for firebox tightness,
gasket leakage, motor operation and igniter operation. The
P61A is then factory set at a mid-point adjustment and in most
cases will not need any adjustments.
note: the factory low
draft setting may not be correct for the unit's permanent
installation conditions.
The control board on the P61A is equipped with a low draft
adjustment port. Located on the control face just to the right
of the igniter light. This voltage adjustment is provided to allow
the unit to be adjusted for the household voltage where the
unit is going to be in permanent operation.
note: the line
voltage varies from area to area and often home to home.
The low draft voltage should be adjusted to achieve the most
efficient burn on low burn or "maintenance". This voltage
adjustment allows the installer to change the low voltage
set point approximately 10 volts. This adjustment should
be done by the installer during set up because a draft meter
reading is
required
to insure proper set up.
If the unit is not adjusted properly, it does not cause a safety
concern. If the unit is adjusted too high, only efficiency is lost.
If the unit is adjusted too low, the low draft pressure switch
will not allow the feed motor or the igniter to operate.

low draft voltage adjustment
A simple draft test should be performed after completing the
flue pipe installation. To record the results for future reference:
1. Plug unit into a 100 VAC, 50 Hz outlet.
2. Close the hopper lid, front view door, and the ash pan.
Neither pellets or a fire are required for this test.
3. With the mode selector in the "OFF" position, turn the feed
limit to "TEST".
4. Record the high draft_____in W.C. (Normal is -.50 to -.60)
The control will be on the High Draft for a total of 1 minute.
5. After the minute, the combustion motor will go down to
low draft and the distribution blower will go on high. Allow
approximately 15 seconds to pass for the combustion
motor to slow before checking the low draft.
6. If the low draft is between -.35 and -.45, record the reading
_____ in W.C. If the reading is higher, slowly turn the
set screw counter-clockwise until the draft lowers. If the
reading is lower, very slowly turn the set screw clockwise
until the draft increases.
note: in some cases, the draft may not go as low as
-.35 to -.45 even with the set screw completely counter-
clockwise. ideally, you should just set it as low as
possible.
