Input Voltage

Alternating Current (AC) Input provided by the local power company. This source of energy

 

must provide a 120 Volt input signal with a frequency of 60 Hertz and a maximum branch

 

current capacity of 15 Amperes. If other devices are connected to the branch, interference or

Fuse

over current may cause circuit breaker to trip.

 

The AC fuse should be rated between 6 and 9 amperes.

The recommended fuse is a Little

Vacuum Sensor

Fuse Model _______.

 

 

Ensures that no blockage of the combustion input or combustion exhaust air occurs. If the

 

vacuum sensor does not operate properly, the Control Board will not allow the stove to

 

operate.

 

 

 

Exhaust Temperature Sensor

Presently, this sensor is a snap disk operating at 110o F +/- 20o F. This sensor ensures proper

 

exhaust temperature has been reached and that a fire is present in the burn pot before the

 

control system begins the burn cycle.

 

Room Air Temperature Sensor

Presently, this sensor is a snap disk operating at 110o F +/- 20o F. This sensor ensures that a

 

proper amount of heat is available at the heat exchanger before the room fan is allowed to

 

operate. If the sensor allows the fan to come on to early, the combustion chambers

 

temperature could drop to the point that self-combustion (ignition temperatures) cannot be

 

maintained.

 

 

 

Overtemp Sensor

Presently, this sensor is a snap disk operating at 250o F +/- 20o F. The purpose of this sensor

Fuel Control

is to shut the entire system down in the event the firebox causes an overheat condition.

The fuel control is a signal provided from the Control Board to the Auger Feed Motor. The

 

Control Board controls the amount of time that the Auger Feed Motor is on and thereby

Room Air Control

controls the amount of fuel fed to the fire pot.

 

The room air control is a signal provided from the Control Board to the Room Air Fan. The

 

Control Board controls the phase angle and thereby the amount and time an AC voltage is

 

applied to the Room Air Fan. This signal controls the speed of the room air passing over the

Combustion Air Control

heat exchanger tubes and the amount of heat delivered to the living space.

The combustion air control is a signal provided from the Control Board to the Combustion

 

Fan. The Control Board controls the phase angle and thereby the amount and time an AC

 

voltage is applied to the Combustion Air Fan. This signal controls the speed of the

Igniter

combustion air passing through the burn pot for the different heat settings

An AC heating element used to provide initial heat to the pellet combustion process. Once

 

the Control Board senses combustion, the Igniter is shut off to conserve energy usage.

Thermostat (optional)

A thermostat input is provided on the back of each Country Flame product. The Control

 

Board has individual personality modules that allow for stand-alone, semi automatic, or fully

 

automatic thermostat operation.
