Diagnostic Features of the Control Board
The #2 LED, #3 LED, #4 LED and #5 lights on the LED Light bar will flash to give a diagnostic
code to help in diagnosing problems that may occur. (See point 3 through 7 in the Frequently
Asked Questions section in the back of the manual).
These conditions fall into the following categories:
a.
Heat related issues.
b.
Vacuum related issues.
c.
Issues related to the Rotation of the Drum in the Pot.
d.
The SmartScan Sensor checks the burn level in the Burn Pot.
The Diagnostic Lights flash as follows:
1.
The
Vacuum
switch. For the Stove to operate correctly the firebox needs to be sealed.
The control board will check to see if the switch senses negative pressure (Vacuum) in
the firebox of the Stove. If there is no negative pressure, the Auger will quit feeding and
the drum will start rotating until the Stove completes the safety shutdown. The #2 LED
will start blinking.
2.
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 Auger will quit feeding fuel and the drum
will start rotating until the Stove completes the safety shutdown. The #3 LED will start
blinking.
3.
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 drum
will start rotating until the Stove completes the safety shutdown. The #4 LED light will
start blinking.
The High Limit Switch must be reset if it trips.
4.
The
Revolution Pot sensor
. If the pot fails to rotate or jams during a rotation, both
augers are disabled and the drum will start rotating until the Proof of Fire switch opens.
The #4 LED will start blinking.
This is the same LED used for the high limit switch, so
always check to see if the high limit needs to be reset first.
5.
The
SmartScan Maintenance Sensor
. This system uses an Infra Red sensor that
monitors the burnpot area of the stove. If the fuel builds up on the back edge of the pot
the stove will shut down and the #5 LED will start blinking. This is an indication that
Maintenance should be performed before the unit is fired up again.
6.
If the stove is
shut down
and the
#5 LED is on continuously
, then the Rotating Drum is
jammed and not in the correct position. Unplug the stove and remove the jam in the pot
and then plug the stove back in.
This may happen if the stove fails to ignite and the pot rotates when it is full of unburned
pellets.
