4. Initial operation – TPK with Scandpell
Once the system has been set up and connected to the mains (see the wiring diagrams under 7.2), the fuel
container must then be filled with fuel.
4.1 Filling the feeder tube
The time taken to fill the feeder tube with fuel is dependent on a number of factors. This is affected by both
the diameter and length of the wood pellets, and the angle of the feeder tube also has a considerable
influence on this.
The inclination of the feeder tube must not exceed an angle of 45 ° from horizontal.
If not, it cannot be assured that sufficient fuel is brought to the burner.
The operating time for the feeder motor during filling of the feeder tube can be adjusted in the ”Service
Menu”:
1. Press the ”Menu” button at least 3 seconds – the display then changes to ”Service Menu”
2. Use the rotary control to highlight the menu point ”Feeder auger”
3. Press the rotary control to select this menu point.
4. Press the rotary control once more to adjust the run time for the feeder motor during filling of the
feeder tube.
5. If you wish to change the time, rotate the rotary control unit until the required time is displayed.
6. Press the rotary control to confirm the selected value.
The default factory setting is 3 minutes, which in most cases is less than the required value. It is important
however not to select a run time that is considerably longer than is necessary.
When the feeder motor is started up for the first time, it can only be stopped by
disconnecting the control unit from the mains power supply.
If the feeder tube is filled with so much fuel that the surplus material ends up in the
downpipe and the burner, this extra material must be removed before starting up the burner.
You should therefore start out with a setting of 3 minutes. The other option is to disconnect the downpipe
from the burner and place a bucket beneath the outlet during filling.
To start filling the feeder tube, do the following:
1. Press shortly ”Menu” button on the control unit
2. Use the rotary control to highlight the menu point ”Feeder auger filling”
3. Press the rotary control to select this menu point
4. Move the rotary control marker to ”YES” and press the rotary control
A forced running of the feeder motor is started, which will then begin to feed the feeder tube with fuel.
The feeder motor will stop again after the first 3 minutes. You can see in the transparent feeder tube how
far the filling process has got. If filling is not complete, repeat the process and adjust the run time if
necessary before the next run.
