Hopper Lid Switch
The following is a list of components and their functions.
Igniter -
The Winslow™ PI40 insert comes equipped with an automatic
igniter for lighting the fuel when the insert is in the lighting mode. The
igniter superheats air that is pulled through the Burn-Pot by the combus-
tion blower to light the fuel. The igniter remains energized for the first
seven minutes of the lighting sequence.
Vacuum Switch -
The Winslow PI40 insert has a vacuum switch located
behind the left door, fastened to the base (see A in Figure 45
)
. If there
is a leak in the firebox created by the front door being ajar or a blocked
flue, the vacuum switch will sense it and cause the insert to go into a
shutdown mode.
Auger and Auger Motor -
The 1.25 RPM auger motor (B in Figure
22
)
turns the auger lifting pellets up the auger tube. The pellets are then
dropped down a tube and into the firepot. The auger is controlled by the
control board.
Over Temperature Snap Switch -
(Opens at 225° F) This switch is
installed on the convection blower (see C in Figure 45
)
and shuts the
insert down if it senses excessive temperatures. This snap switch has a
reset button on it and will not allow the insert to start up until the reset
button has been pushed.
Proof of Fire Snap Switch -
(Closes at 140° F) This switch is installed
on the combustion blower and shuts the insert down if it does not detect
fire in the Burn-Pot.
Convection Blower Snap Switch -
(Closes at 120° F) This switch is
installed on the right rear of the firebox and turns the convection blower
on when the insert gets up to temperature.
Hopper Lid Switch
- It is located as shown in Figure 43, on the back
left side of the hopper (on the inside of the hopper). It detects whether
the hopper lid is open and will turn off the auger motor if the hopper lid
is not properly closed. When opening the hopper when refueling, do not
allow the hopper lid to remain open too long or the fire may extinguish.
NEVER DISCONNECT OR BYPASS THIS SWITCH FOR ANY REASON.
