16. SECURITY MEASURES

 

Furnace is equipped with following safety devices:

 

-PRESSURE REGULATOR 
Controls the pressure in the chimney. It stops transport spiral for the pellet when the outlet is clogged or when it 
faces pressure (draught) 
-FLUE GASES TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
Measures the temperature of the flue gasses and allows furnace ignition o stops it if the flue gasses temperature 
goes bellow set value.  
-CONTACT THERMOSTAT IN THE FIREBOX OR ON THE SCREW FEEDER CASE  
When a temperature exceeds safety values, furnace immediately shuts down. 
- CONTACT THERMOSTAT IN THE BOILER 
When a temperature exceeds safety values, furnace immediately shuts down  
-WATER TEMPERATURE SENSOR 
When water temperature gets close to 85ºC, sensor runs cooling cycles or automatically shuts the furnace down 
using “ECO-STOP” option, in order to avoid blocking the temperature sensor. 
-ELECTRICAL SAFETY 
Furnace is protected from power surges with standard fuse located on control panel on the rear side of the furnace. 
Rest of the fuses are located on the rear side of the furnace in order to protect motherboard (integrated cards and 
heat exchanger cards). 
-FLUE GASSES FAN 
If the ventilator stops, motherboard blocks the pellet feed and emits alarm signal.                                                         
-HELICAL GEARED MOTOR  
When helical geared motor stops working, furnace continues to work until the flame does not extinguish and until 
the minimum cooling level is not reached. 
-TEMPORARY OUTAGE 
After short outage, furnace automatically starts cooling process. 
-NO IGNITION 
If during ignition there is no flame, furnace automatically changes to alarm status. 

17. MALFUNCTION - CAUSES - SOLUTIONS 

PROBLEMS 

POSSIBLE CAUSES 

SOLUTIONS

the spiral – screw feeder 

3.  Replace helical geared motor 
4. Replace electric card

 

Fire is not burning or 
furnace 
automatically shuts 
down. 
 

1. Wood pellet reservoir is empty. 
2. Combustion chamber is not filled 
with wood pellets. 
3. Safety temperature probe 
activation. 
4. Hatch is not properly closed or 
sealing cord is worn.

8. Chimney is clogged. 
9. Interference or malfunction on 
pressure stat.  
10. Smoke fan motor is broken. 

1. Fill the reservoir with wood 
pellets. 
2. See previous solution. 
3. Let the furnace cool down and 
then turn it on again. If the problem 
persist, contact technical 
department. 
4. Close the hatch or replace 
sealing cord. 
5. Change the type of wood pellets 
and choose one with 
manufacturer’s approval. 
6. Check dosage and settings. 
7. Clean the combustion chamber 
following instructions manual. 
8. Clean the chimney. 
9. Replace pressure stat. 

10. Check the motor and replace it 
if needed. 

Furnace works for 
several minutes and 
then shuts down. 

1. Ignition phase is not over. 
2. Temporary outage. 
3. Chimney is clogged. 
4. Interference or malfunction on 
temperature probe. 
5. Spark plug is damaged.  

1. Repeat ignition. 
2. See previous instruction. 
3. Clean the chimney. 

4. Check or replace the probe. 
5. Check or replace the sparkle 
plug. 

Wood pellets form 

1. Lack of air for combustion.
