The thermosticker is used to measure the
operating temperature of the burner body.
The temperature measurements provide
information regarding the condition of the
heating system and the need for preven-
tive action or maintenance of the burner
and exhaust ducts.
For example: a high temperature of the
burner may indicate a high ash deposit.
Once the normal operating conditions are
restored, the thermosticker returns to its
normal colour (black).
The burner thermosticker must be checked
on a regular basis, and after any mainte-
nance procedures carried out on the boiler
and/or burner operating with pellets.
The thermosticker indicates an overheat-
ing of the pellet feed tube.
The activation of this thermosticker may
occur if the flue gases flow into the pel-
let tube due to a greater resistance of
the exhaust pipe and/or decrease in the
chimney draft.
In this cases, the flexible connection tube
between the screw feeder and burner body
could be damaged.
Once activated, the thermosticker will not
return to its initial condition. Replace the
thermosticker once the normal operating
conditions are restored.
Viewing of the sticker in the initial condi-
tion: if the active segment is white, the
temperature has not reached the activation
level (104°C). Viewing of the sticker in the initial con-
dition: if the active segment is dark, the
temperature has exceeded the activation
level (104°C).
