AUTOMATIC SAFETY FEATURES
L120 LOW LIMIT SWITCH
This limit switch is mounted on the exhaust blower housing and has 2 main
functions.
1. Should the fire happen to go out, for any reason, this limit switch will
shut the stove off when the exhaust temperature drops below
120deg F.
2. Upon starting the appliance, the AcuTron control board has a 15
minute “Lighting Mode”, if the stove exhaust does not reach 120deg
F in that 15 minutes the stove will shut off. As soon as the stove
exhaust does reach 120deg F, the limit switch opens and the
AcuTron enters a 5 minute “Safety Delay” mode.
F140 FAN LIMIT SWITCH
Your pellet appliance has a convection fan control limit switch. The room air
fan's (F140) temperature limit snap switch automatically sets the fan on high
when your stove is producing heat faster than the fan is carrying it into the
room. This may occur when the heat control lever is set at [3 or 4] and the
FAN SPEED is set to a very low or off setting. After the fan runs at this
automatic high setting a few minutes, it may cycle back to its lower setting
and may continue to cycle between [HIGH] and your selected setting. The
circulation (room air) fan cycling from high to low is a normal condition as well
as a safety feature of your appliance. To compensate for the fan cycling,
adjust the FAN SPEED to a higher setting.
L250 HIGH LIMIT SWITCH
Your pellet appliance has a high temperature limit switch installed. If
the temperature at the back of the firebox reaches approximately
250deg F., the switch will shut off the electricity going to the Vacuum
Switch and to the Auger Motor. The auger will automatically stop, and
the appliance will shut down when the exhaust temperature cools
(120deg F). If this happens call your dealer or Dansons Customer
Service (1-866-456-9269).
IT IS IMPORTANT TO FIND THE REASON WHY THE UNIT
OVERHEATED.
VACUUM SWITCH
This safety device (mounted on the back panel pillar) detects vacuum in
the exhaust system, firebox, and air intake. If the exhaust blower fails,
the vent pipe becomes plugged, the viewing door is open, or if you are
out of pellets, this switch will sense that there is a lack of vacuum and
will stop the auger from continuing to feed pellets.
If the power does go out, the pellet appliance will stop
running. When the power comes back on, the stove will not
restart if the switch is in the manual mode. If the exhaust
temperature is above 120deg F or the switch is in the manual
position, the stove will start to feed pellets again and may re-
light itself.
NOTE: If power outages are a concern you may wish to purchase a back-up generator system.
