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 over current may cause circuit breaker
to trip.
Fuse
The AC fuse should be rated between 6 and 9 amperes. The
recommended fuse is a Little Fuse Model _______.
Vacuum Sensor
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 110
o
F +/- 20
o
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 110
o
F +/- 20
o
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 250
o
F +/- 20
o
F.
The purpose of this sensor is to shut the entire system down in the
event the firebox causes an overheat condition.
Fuel Control
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 controls the
amount of fuel fed to the fire pot.
Room Air Control
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 heat exchanger tubes and the amount of heat
delivered to the living space.
Combustion Air Control
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 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.
