Heater Status
This heater has unique phases of operation (also called Heater Status). The descriptions below
details these phases to help the homeowner better understand how the pellet heater works.
Standby
The heater is plugged in, cool, and is not in operation.
Start-Up
Once the heater is started, it will go through Start-Up phase. This phase turns the igniter on and feeds
pellets to the burn platform. Once Start-Up is complete the heater will enter the Heating phase.
Heating
The heater is on, pellets are being fed to the burn platform and are burning, the system detects heat
and the room fan is circulating air. When the heater is turned off (either manually, through a thermostat,
or a fault occurred), the heater moves to the Cool-Down phase.
Cool-Down
The phase indicates heater has recently been turned off. The heater will be warm, the pellets in the
auger will be fed to the burn platform but new pellets are not being fed to the auger. This phase is
necessary to ensure all remaining pellets are burned and flue products are expelled. Once the cool-
down phase is complete, the heater will go to Standby phase.
Fault
If the heater encounters a situation that is not normal, it goes into Fault status. The heater will go into
cool-down and the fault encountered will be displayed. The most common fault encountered are:
- Running out of pellets
- Power Outage
The fault status is used to help the homeowner monitor heater operation.
