THE ACUTRON CONTROLS
Basic Overview
The AcuTron II or III digital control board was designed to give you flexibility on how
you want to operate your stove. The AcuTron can be operated as a MANUAL
control or by a THERMOSTAT. When operating in the Thermostat option, you can
also choose to run your appliance in the ON/OFF mode or the LOW/HIGH mode.
The START or FEED RATE touch pad allows electricity to flow to your stove's
electrical components for 15 minutes. If after 15 minutes your stove has heated to
normal operating temperatures your stove will continue to run. If the fire does not
light and/or burn properly, the electricity to your stove's components will be shut off
at the end of 15 minutes.
The FAN SPEED controls the speed of the room air fan. This fan blows room air
through the heat exchange tubes and back into the room. When the FEED RATE is
set to a higher position, the FAN SPEED should be set higher and visa versa. To
achieve optimum heat transfer it is recommended to set the FAN SPEED to LOW or
LOW/MED when running the FEED RATE at 1 or 2, and Fan on MED OR
MED/HIGH on FEED RATE #3 or 4.
When the START / FEED RATE is ON, the AUGER CYCLE LED will turn on when
the auger is active. When the OFF touch pad is pushed [OFF], the auger motor will
not run, fuel stops feeding and the fire will die.
The FEED RATE works in a synchronized manner setting both the fuel rate and
combustion air at the same time. When fuel is increased by setting the FEED RATE
higher, combustion air is automatically increased and visa versa.
HOW THE BOARD WORKS
INITIAL START OR SET-UP (MANUAL OR NON-THERMOSTAT MODE)
Upon initial start-up the control will feed automatically at the #1 feed rate.
Press the START touch pad.
- Convection (heating) fan will start and the FAN LED will be solid on LOW setting
- The 300 watt Auto-Igniter will begin to glow and the IGNITER LED will be solid
- The AUGER CYCLE LED will go solid for 3 seconds, indicating signal is being sent to the auger motor.
- The Combustion (exhaust) fan will start and operate at full speed for 60 seconds, then adjust downward to match
feed rate #1.
Press FEED RATE touch pad to select desired heat output that you require upon completion of ignition sequence.
NOTE: If you do not press the FEED RATE touch pad, the stove will continue to run at FEED RATE #1 and the LED will continue
to flash at a fast rate.
When the FEED RATE LED is flashing at a FAST rate this indicates that the LOW LIMIT (L120) is closed. This means
the unit has not reached operating temperature.
When the FEED RATE LED is flashing at a SLOW rate this indicates that the LOW LIMIT (L120) is open. This means
the control board has entered a 5 minute “Safety Delay” mode.
After the 5 minute Safety Delay is complete
- IGNITER and INGNITER LED will turn off
- FEED RATE LED will become solid and the appliance will feed fuel at your selected heat output
RE-START (MANUAL OR NON-THERMOSTAT MODE)
The AcuTron II or III board does have limited memory. To restart your appliance push the START touch pad. The appliance will
automatically go through it normal start-up then return to the FEED and FAN setting you used prior to turning off the board and
appliance the last time of use.
