15.0 Precautionary Measures.
The
KSM-Stoker Tuxedo
meets with all current EU regulations regarding Small & Medium Bio fuel
Boilers.
15.1 Fire Protection, thermal.
The
KSM-Stoker Tuxedo
is provided with a thermal valve with a sensor and also a pressure tank with a
non-return valve, to avoid losing the water in the tank even if its water supply should fail.
The sensor registers if the screw tube runs too hot i.e. up to more than 95
o
C and should this occur, the
thermal valve will turn on the water in the pressure tank and the water will extinguish the fire and ember.
Once this has been done, the thermal valve will cool down and the water is automatically turned off
again, in order to avoid a flooding.
If the valve is overheated please notice if it closes tightly because it otherwise will leak water.
15.2 Personal Protection.
The
KSM-Stoker Tuxedo
is fitted with a safety switch on the silo lid; this switch will cut off the electric
power to the stoker if the lid is opened. This is to protect you against any damage while handling screw
or stirring device.
15.3 Electric Protection Fuses.
The
KSM-Stoker Tuxedo
control is furnished with overload protection on each motor which is triggered
if the screw motor should be exposed to overcharge. Furthermore, fuses are mounted inside the control as
a protection of the control itself and its other components.
15.4 Maximum Heat Thermostat.
The
KSM-Stoker Tuxedo
is provided with a sensor for interruption of the control in case the boiler has
been heated to more than 95
o
C. If this sensor has been activated, it must be manually re-set by means of
the small pressure button. The maximum heat thermostat is mounted in the upper left corner of the
Control Panel.
15.5 Water need security.
The KSM-Multistoker Tuxedo
is supported with a pressostat which registers the pressure in the boiler.
It is a sensor which turns of the control box if the boiler reaches 95° Celsius.
If it has been activated it has to be reconnected manually. On the monitor screen there will appear a small
yellow warning sign with the text “Overheat”. This sign will disappear by itself when the overheating
thermostat is reconnected.
