Lincoln SCR Manual

When burning Corn, Wheat, Rye and Distiller’s Grain Pellets, the program chosen must give a
smooth ignition and be able to advance to the Heat Level chosen. If the Pot overloads during
ignition, adjust the Feedrate down or switch Programs until these fuels ignite without
overloading the Pot. The units must be adjusted for unattended use.
Do not assume the unit functions correctly in SmartStat mode without first adjusting the unit.
When burning grain there are many variables and the unit must be fine tuned correctly before
using SmartStat Mode.
The adjustments that need to be made are:
1 - Choosing the correct Program for the fuel used. (See pages 38-39 in your manual)
2 - Adjusting the Damper (if needed) (See pages 41-43 in your manual)
3 - Adjusting the Feedrate (if needed) (See point 8 on page 61)
4 - Adjusting the Draft Fan Voltage (if needed) (See point 9 on page 61)
5
-
Adjusting the Heat Level to a lower setting (to prevent the Lincoln SCR from excessive
ON/OFF cycling). This will also help in maintaining an even temperature in the home. (See
figure 23 on page 36) Moving to the next Program will also produce less heat. (See pages 38-
39 in your manual)
If the Revolution pot overloads during the Ignition Phase, simply open the Hopperlid to stop the
Auger Motor in the main hopper. This will temporarily shut off the fuel that is being fed to the
pot until it balances back out.
Use the 5-point list above and make some small adjustments before starting the unit the next
time. Again observe how the unit starts up and repeat this process until you get a smooth ignition
when burning Grains.
The Revolution Pot – How to deal with a jammed pot.
What can cause the pot to get jammed?
a – A foreign object gets stuck in the Drum as it
rotates through. For this to happen, the
object must first make it through the Auger
system in the hopper. Most likely it would
jam the auger, but is some instances it could
end up in the pot.
b – The Drum rotates while it is full of unburned
fuel. If this happens the dividers in the drum
could get stuck on the fuel as that section of
the pot rotates through. It jams where the
dividers close the opening where the Ash
and Clinker material exit the pot.
