CIRCUIT BOARD FUNCTIONS
START-UP SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
Once the control panel is turned to on, a timer begins that will start, stop and continue operation of the American
Harvest as a preset temperature is achieved.
COMPONENT | OPERATION START | OPERATION END |
Draft Fan | Starts Immediately | Will continue until shutdown. Shutdown will |
|
| occur when the operating temperature is |
|
| below 90 degrees. |
Agitator | Three minutes after starting the agitator will | Will continue intermediately, as determined by |

Auger | Three minutes after starting the auger will | The auger will continue at the feed rate |

|
| operation. |

|
Room Fan | Begins when 110 degrees is reached. | Will continue to operate until the heater cools |
|
| down to below 90 degrees. This may take |
|
| several minutes up to an hour. |

| operation will continue. | the operating temperature falls below 90 |
|
| degrees. At such time the heater will default |
|
| to the “Automatic Shut Down”. |

SHUTDOWN SEQUENCE OF EVENTS
Once the Heater has reached the normal operating temperature and switched to the “OFF” position, the unit will continue to operate on a much lower setting for 10 minutes. (Approximately half of the “1” setting). After 10 minutes the auger will slow down further and continue at this feed rate until the heater’s “LOW LIMIT SAFTEY” sensor tells the control board it is safe to shutdown.
COMPONENT | SHUTDOWN | OPERATION END |
Draft Fan | Unchanged operation until preset “OFF” tem- | Continues until the operating temperature falls |

|
| up to an hour. |
