Weighing the pellets
Once the system is assembled, filled with water, connected with power, and
supplied with wood pellets a basic calibration of the auger is required.
1.
Detach the drop hose from the drop tube on the burner and attach a
plastic bag or similar underneath the drop hose.
2.
Go to the
System>Manual>External Auger> ON
. This will force start the
external auger. Allow for approximately 15 minutes of auger running
time after pellets begin dispensing. This will ensure that the auger is
completely filled and will allow for a more accurate weighing later.
Once complete, discard the pellets from the plastic bag and refasten the
empty plastic bag to the drop hose.
3.
Go to the
Hopper menu> Force external auger>Force auger 6 min
to
activate the 360 second test. Wood pellets will begin dispensing.
4.
When the test is complete, remove the plastic bag, and weigh only the
pellets on a kitchen scale. Enter the weight in the controller by going to
the
Hopper
menu >
Auger capacity/6min>
enter “pellet weight”.
5.
Once completed your system is calibrated and you may now start up the
boiler.

Installation and operation of the hopper level sensor
Your RTB Phoenix boiler includes a lazer distance sensor that allows you to
monitor the pellet level in your hopper.
Installation:
1.
Find the laser distance sensor at the back of the boiler.
2.
If you are using a RTB Phoenix hopper, string the lazer distance sensor
through the precut hole found in the back of the hopper.
3.
Mount the lazer distance sensor on the underside of the hopper lid but
directly above the opening to the hopper auger.
Note:
The sensor is
fitted in a magnetic housing that allows it to be easily mounted onto
the underside of the hopper lid.
Operation
The laser distance sensor will measure the distance between the sensor and
the pellet level in the hopper. When the pellet level gets below a minimum
amount for operation i.e. at a greater distance (cm) than the
STOP BOILER AT
DISTANCE
cm level (see right), the system will automatically go to a
STOP
state
in order to retain a minimum amount of pellets for an easy startup. If
your boiler goes to a
STOP state
due to low pellets in the hopper, simply add
pellets to the hopper and the boiler will start up automatically once the laser
distance sensor recognizes that the pellet level is above the minimum
required amount.
If your system is online, you can choose to receive email notifications prior to
this forced boiler stop level and prevent any down times by specifying the
distance when a notification should occur i.e. at
INFO MESSAGE AT
DISTANCE cm
and by enabling e-mail notifications in your Stokercloud
notification settings.
