Ashby-P Insert
Page 34
To hook up a thermostat connect the wires from the thermostat to the two white wires with red
stripes in the harness. These wires are located on the right side of the stove and are labeled as T-
Stat.
NOTE: Installers must determine a neutral location of where to mount the thermostat panel in
order for accurate room temperature measurements.
Thermostat Control & Pilot Settings:
The Ashby-P may be controlled with a thermostat to
help maintain a more constant temperature. The Ashby-P may react a little slower to a thermostat
compared to a Gas or Electric insert. With this in mind the low setting can be adjusted to
increase or decrease the amount of fuel used. This will allow the heat output during the pilot
stage to be matched to the size of the home. A larger home will require more heat than a small
one. Keep in mind that the Insert is constantly producing some heat that helps heat the home
while it is in pilot mode. If the home seems too warm, and the Thermostat is never calling for
heat, a lower pilot setting may be a better fit for the home.
Remember: Choosing a lower Pilot setting may require the Draft Fan Voltage or the
Damper to be fine-tuned to match the lower feed rate. Monitor how the Ashby is operating
after a change is made and adjust the damper or Combustion Fan voltage if needed.
Diagnostic Features of the Control Board
The #2 LED, #3 LED and #4 LED lights on the LED Light bar
)
will flash to give a diagnostic
code to help in diagnosing problems that may occur.

These conditions fall into 2 categories:
a.
Heat related issues.
b.
Vacuum related issues.
The Diagnostic Lights flash as follows:
1.
The
Proof of Fire
switch. This switch will sense the temperature of the Exhaust rising
during start up. If the Exhaust temperature does not reach 110 degrees F, or if, during use, the
temperature drops below 110 degrees F, the Insert will go into
“Internal Alarm”
and the Auger
will quit feeding fuel. Once the Insert completes the safety shutdown, the #3 LED will start
blinking.

2.
The
High Limit
switch. This sensor will sense if the unit reaches temperatures that are
too high for normal operation. If this happens the Auger will quit feeding and the #4 LED light
will start blinking.

3.
The
Vacuum
switch. For the Insert to operate correctly the firebox needs to be sealed.
During the first 30 seconds after the unit has been turned on, the control board will check to see
if the switch senses negative pressure (Vacuum) in the firebox of the Insert. If there is no
negative pressure, the Insert will go into “Safety shutdown” and the #2 LED will start blinking.
