APPENDIX “E”

Wall Thermostat (option)

OPERATION

Your pellet appliance is capable of running in an automatic mode with the use of a wall thermostat. The “AcuTron” gives you a choice, “ON / OFF on Demand” or “LOW / HIGH”. The ON / OFF mode automatically turns the heater On and will Shut Off on demand. The LOW / HIGH mode will keep your heater active and cycle between #1 (LOW) setting and your selected (HIGH) setting.

In most circumstances the BEST operation, and recommended, under thermostat control is the LOW / HIGH cycle.

Upon Start Up, in thermostat mode, the default running mode will be the LOW /

HIGH mode.

as desired

When operating in either mode should your unit run out of pellet fuel it will automatically go through the normal SHUT DOWN cycle. After completing the SHUT DOWN cycle the appliance will try to restart one time only before shutting off completely, till you refill the hopper and reactivate the FUEL FEED pad.

TO CHANGE BETWEEN THE TWO MODES,

Press and hold the OFF touch pad firmly, for 3 to 5 seconds, when the FEED RATE LED’s #3 and #4 flash together this indicates the thermostat will run in the HIGH / LOW cycle. When the #1 and #2 LED’s flash together this indicates the ON / OFF cycle has been chosen.

HIGH / LOW CYCLE Option (Flashing 3 & 4)

Once this mode has been selected, you simply press the START touch pad to activate the stove. You can now select the HIGH heat output level (2,3 or 4) by pushing the START / FEED RATE touch pad, you can also select the FAN setting you desire. When you have selected your high level and fan speeds the LED’s will continue to flash. The appliance will automatically start at the #1 feed rate until the Start-up procedure is complete.

The LOW (number 1) or selected High (2,3 or 4) Feed Rate indicator light will light up depending on if the thermostat is calling for heat or not. When the desired room temperature is reached the stove will automatically go into the low heat (#1) cycle. When the temperature in the room drops to the level set at the thermostat, the stove will again cycle to the HIGH (#2,3 or 4) preselected setting. For optimum heat transfer, the FAN setting should be set at LOW or MEDIUM. The appliance will run the FAN at HIGH speed when needed, automatically.

ON / OFF Option (Flashing 1 & 2)

To activate the thermostat to the ON / OFF feature, press and HOLD the OFF touch pad. If the FEED numbers 3 & 4 flash together, you will need to push and hold the OFF touch pad a second time. The numbers 1 & 2 will flash together to indicate that this is the cycle you are in. You can now select the HIGH heat output level (2,3 or 4) by pushing the START touch pad, you can also select the FAN setting you desire. The stove will now go through its normal start up cycle. Once completed the appliance is now in the ON / OFF mode.

The thermostat should be set for the desired room temperature. If the room temperature drops below the level on the thermostat the stove will automatically begin the start-up cycle, as explained in the manual operation section.

Once the start-up cycle is completed the stove run on the pre-selected “HIGH” (number 2,3 or4) setting, till the temperature is reached. For optimum heat transfer, the FAN setting should be set at LOW or MEDIUM. The appliance will run the FAN at HIGH speed when needed, automatically.

When the desired room temperature is reached the stove will automatically go into the shut down cycle. The pellet feed will stop and the blowers will continue for a controlled time allowing safe shut down of your heater. When the temperature in the room drops to the level set at the thermostat, the stove will again begin the start-up cycle and resume automatic operation.

The Feed Rate numbers 1 & 2 will flash while the appliance is in the OFF part of this mode to give you a visual indication that the appliance is still active and in the ON / OFF cycle.
