Control Board Features
The Control Board controls all functions of the Stove by
monitoring sensors that are in the system. These sensors
serve 2 purposes.
a.
General Operation of the Stove.
b.
Safety Features, to shut the unit down in the event
the sensors detect a problem in the unit.
The Control Board also has Diagnostic Capabilities to
help in diagnosing certain areas in the Stove. These areas
are:
1.
High Temperature Limit.
2.
Proof of Fire Sensor
3.
Vacuum in the Firebox
4.
The Rotation of the Drum
5.
The Fuel level in the Burn Pot
A closer look at the Control Board to the right in figure
26 will explain how the board works.
The ON/OFF button, The Auger Feed Button (used to
prime the Pot with Fuel) and the
Heat Level
and
Draft
Trim
Buttons. The last 2 buttons have High and Low
buttons to advance/adjust these settings up or down.
There is a slide switch that controls the Thermostat Mode
and an LED Light bar that indicates which of the 5 Heat
Settings the Stove is running on.
The LED Light bar is also used during the Diagnostic process, see page 39 for more details.
1. The Heat Level button will advance the setting up and down between level 1 and 5. It will
also be used in the Fine Tuning process of the feed rates if needed.
(See point 4 b. below
)
2. The Auger Feed button will allow the user to manually auger fuel into the burn pot on start
up when needed. This is particularly helpful in priming the Auger Tube when it is empty (After
the hopper has run out of pellets).
Do not tamper with the Auger Feed button to override the
automated feed system. This may cause the unit to Overheat.
3. The On/Off button not only turns the Stove On and Off, it also resets the board if one of the
sensors has detected a problem and the board is flashing a Diagnostic code.
