P61A Pellet Stove
The P61A Pellet Stove is capable of manual operation. This also allows the operator
to manually control operation during an emergency (i.e. igniter failure, when using a
502H battery backup, as opposed to the 512H, or when using certain generators.)
The unit can be switched between "AUTO" and "MANUAL" at any time during op-
eration.
The re will have to be lit with starting gel and a
match, or started automatically, see "Automatic Opera-
tion" on Page 16. Turn to "Manual" position when the
ignition cycle has started.
The difference between "AUTO" Room Temperature
Mode and "Manual" Room Temperature Mode is that
the re will not go out as the room temperature goes
above the control board setting. The unit can only go to
low burn and will remain there until it runs out of fuel or
until more heat is needed and the feed rate increases.
Feed rate adjustments and dial settings are the same
as "AUTO" settings.
The blower will shut off com-
pletely if the temperature on the ESP is too low.
The advantage of this mode is to allow the operator
to have a large viewing re without blowing extra heat
into the room.
During operation, with the temperature dial set at
#5 or less, the distribution fan will not operate. A #5 on
the temperature dial and a #5 on the feed adjuster is
approximately 80% output. It is not necessary to oper-
ate the distribution blower below this point. This control
setting allows a higher burn rate (a larger viewing re)
without an excess of hot air blowing into the room.
An example of when to use the Manual Stove Tem-
perature Mode is if you want to watch a large re and
the room is already up to temperature. The Stove
Temperature Mode allows you to have a larger re and
a lower sound level, without the distribution blower.
This setting will produce a large viewing re
without a distribution blower operating.
This
setting, see below, will produce a
room temperature of 70 degrees
with the distribution blower at
medium speed.
