13 - INFORMATION FOR THE SKILLED TECHNICIAN
13.1 MAIN COMPONENTS AND THEIR POSITION
SMOKE PRESSURE SWITCH
This is a safety switch that stops the screw feeder motor whenever necessary. The main cause for the pressure switch tripping is a
blocked flue outlet or smoke exhaust pipe. Note that it is strictly forbidden to apply any kind of mesh screen to the end of the pipe.
When the holes of the mesh clog up they create a plug that trips the pressure switch which stops the pellet feeder.
SCREW FEEDER MOTOR
This motor is powered at regular on/off intervals controlled by a microprocessor. The operation of this motor is affected when: The
motor's thermal cutout trips; the pressure switch trips due to blocked smoke exhaust; the generator is shut down intentionally or the
heater shuts down because it runs out of pellets; the manual reset thermostat trips.
SMOKE SUCTION UNIT
This is activated when the start up signal is given. Initially it activates at the maximum capacity, and then self adjusts to the optimal
speed. To enable the evacuation of the smoke and for greater safety of the system, the smoke suction unit continues to operate for
a preset period of time from when the appliance shuts off.
SMOKE SENSOR
Continually detects the outgoing smoke temperature. It authorises the passage from the Start stage to the Work stage.
TANK SAFETY THERMOSTAT
This thermostat starts operating as soon as the temperature in or near the pellet tank approaches 85°C and sends an immediate
signal to the room fan to operate at maximum power.
SAFETY THERMOSTAT WITH MANUAL RESET
If the appliance temperature exceeds the set temperature the pellet screw feeder shuts down. After having verified and solved the
causes for the overtemperature, reactivate the appliance by unscrewing the plastic cover of the thermostat located on the
power/control panel and pressing the button (the temperature of the appliance must have dropped considerably).
13.2 GUIDELINES FOR CORRECT INSTALLATION
• Read this instruction booklet.
• The appliance must always be switched off from the control panel. It is forbidden to switch off the appliance by means of the main
switch 0/I located in the power panel.
• The appliance must never be disconnected from the electrical power supply and the power supply must never be cut off during
normal operation. Whenever the appliance is deliberately disconnected from the electric power supply smoke could be emitted into
the room.
• Do not install the appliance with horizontal wall outlets only: Evacuation of products of combustion by natural draught must always
be guaranteed as well. Unsuitable installation of the outlets could cause a forced shut down of the appliance due to overpressure of
the exhaust smoke caused by a gust of wind.
• At the first startup, run the heater at the maximum power in a well-ventilated room, in order to dispose of the smoke generated by
the complete dryness and baking of the silicates contained in the enamel coating of the combustion chamber.
• Do not install a grill or outlet terminal that could slow down the flow of the combustion gases: this would obviously cause the
appliance to malfunction.
• Keep the appliance clean and check the burner as described in these instructions.
• Clean the smoke outlet regularly.
• Use good quality pellets: use of poor pellets can result in up to 50% less efficiency.
• The pellets must be stored in a well-ventilated, dry place.
• The generator door must always remain closed during normal operation.
• Do not touch hot outer surfaces, unless with special equipment.
• Do not pour the pellets directly into the brazier.
• Keep fuel and inflammable materials at a suitable distance.
• Use only original spare parts supplied by the manufacturer.
