A. Introduction
Welcome to the Quadra-Fire family. This manual will help
you understand and operate the wall control attached to
your new pellet Advanced Energy appliance.
The Quadra-Fire Wall Control is not just a traditional ther
-
mostat, but an integral part of the pellet appliance system.
While it has many of the features one would expect from
an advanced thermostat, including programmable setback
capabilities and current temperature display, it also indicates
the system’s current operating cycle and state. It does this
by communicating with the appliance via a wired connec
-
tion.
Additionally, it allows you to set parameters that will optimize
the performance of your pellet appliance system. These pa
-
rameters are accessed with an easy to navigate menu sys
-
tem.

B. The Main Screen
The key to being comfortable while operating your new wall
control is to familiarize yourself with the main screen. The
main screen shows, at a glance, the status of the system,
the most important settings and the current temperature. Ad
-
ditionally, the main screen indicates with simple icons many
user actions required to keep your appliance working as in
-
tended.
Figure 2.1.
1. System Status Codes
The status area is used to indicate the current status of the
system. It indicates if the system is running in automatic or
manual cycle, if it is turned on or off and where it is in the
operating sequence.
a. START-UP
Indicates that the appliance is in start-up cycle and is in the
process of lighting an initial charge of fuel.
b.
SS-LOW or SS-MED (SS = soft start)
Indicates the soft-start portion of the lighting sequence. In
these stages the fire begins to gradually build to operating
temperature.
c. AUTO: (x) or MAN: (x) (x) = heat output level
Indicates both the operating cycle (automatic or manual)
and the current heat output level. The heat output level will
be “H” high, “MH” medium high, “M” medium, “ML” medium
low and “L” low.
d. READY
Indicates that the system is turned on and is functioning nor
-
mally, but there is no call for heat (the room temperature is
not below the set temperature).
See Figure 7.1 on page 7.
e. SHUTDOWN
Indicates the system is shutting down, either because it is no
longer calling for heat or the maximum burn time has been
reached and the system must run an auto-clean cycle.
f. AUTO-CLEAN
Indicates the system is running the firepot auto-clean cycle.
g. OFF
Indicates the system has been shut down by the user.
h. MAINT BURN (Battery Back-up Only)
The maintenance burn is to keep the system from shutting
down when operating on battery backup. The appliance will
not automatically re-light in manual mode.
2. Current Time
Indicates the current time. The time is used for the program
-
mable setback features of the wall control.
3. Set Temperature
Indicates the current set temperature. It will change auto
-
matically as the control progresses through the 7 day set
-
back program. If the wall control is in HOLD TEMP cycle the
“Set at:” indication will change to “Hold at:” and displays the
operating temperature setting.
4. Notification Icons
The system notification area uses icons to indicate if an ac
-
tion needs to be taken. In battery mode it indicates the ap
-
proximate charge level of the battery.
