New Pellet Board Auger Timing 25


Configuring the Control BoardOverview

The new AVR control board is the next generation control board thatis compatible with all pellet stoves and inserts, large and smallmanufactured from 1997 to today. Circuitry on the board allows it tobe programmed for either the large or small pellet heaters (these heatersuse different voltage settings). See ““ for details. It also includes adiagnostic feature that allows a service person to diagnose a faultwithout having to inspect the wiring or components. The indicatorlights on the control board will display a fault code after a fault hasbeen detected. This allows the service person to determine whichcomponent caused the fault. See “Diagnostic Codes” for details. NOTE:the new wiring harness (250-00017) is required to utilize this feature.

Configuring for Large or Small Heaters

The control board is initially configured for the large heaters (Astoriaand Yankee models). To change the configuration the control boardmust be in the off position plugged into a cold stove, (no lights orrunning components) with the jumper molex removed (see the illustrationbelow). In this condition press and hold the manual auger button downand press both fan up and fan down arrow keys at the same time. Allheat output lights will flash. One flash denotes the large pellet heaterconfiguration. Two flashes denote the small pellet heater configuration(Newport and Pioneer models). Repeat pressing the keys until the correctconfiguration is obtained.

1


Configuring the Control Board Using this Control Board with Older Wiring Harnesses

When the control board is installed on an older wire harness the 4 pin molex jumper plug on the backof the control board next to the stock wire harness must be installed. This jumper replaces thediagnostic wires (see “”) that are present on the new wiring harness. The control board will worknormally, but the diagnostic capabilities will not function.

Technical Notes for Operation

The new pellet control board is essentially the same as our old board. The biggest difference betweenthem is that buttons were used in place of knobs on the heat and fan controls.

Make sure to give the home owner the “Pellet Heater Operating Instructions” if you are replacingan older board (the final 4 pages of this instruction sheet). It contains the new operatinginstructions for this control board.

A few changes were made to accommodate the new control board. The start up cycle indicator onthe old board illuminates all heat output indicator lights to show the unit is in a start-up cycle andadjusting the heat setting knob would not change them. On the new board to enable adjusting therun settings during start-up we made the start-up indicator the blinking #1 heat output light. If the#1 heat output light is blinking the board is in a start-up mode and the blower and auger outputs cannot be adjusted. The run settings the unit will go to after start-up are displayed on the heat outputindictor. These settings can be adjusted any time during start up by pushing the up or down heatbuttons on the panel. When the fan setting is adjusted up or down the heat output indicators willturn off and the fan setting will display.

Another feature we added to the control board is a manual auger feed. This button can be used toprime and empty the auger or speed the initial delivery of pellets to the burn pot. All start-up timingremains the same and the stove will still self prime the auger tube – this option allows the operatoran additional option. It is not needed for normal operation.

All voltage outputs and feed rates remain the same as the old board. There is a difference in respectto the auger on/off times. The auger timing was changed to shorten the interval between pellet dropsto the burn pot. For example, on low the auger used to turn for 3 seconds and remain off for 13 seconds,for this same condition this control board turns the auger for 2.5 seconds and remains off for 10.7seconds. This produces the same amount of time the auger is turning and not turning but gives asteadier flame height and less incidental outages on low.

Configuring the Control BoardDiagnostic Codes (Qualified Service Personnel Only)

• Fault and #2 (LOW) Light Flash = Flow Switch Fault

• Fault and # 4 (MED) Light Flash = System Snap Disk Fault (pellets run out & stove goes cold)

• Fault and # 6 (HIGH) Light Flash = Safety or Hopper Snap Disk Fault

Flow Switch FaultFault light and #2 heat indicator blinking.

This fault code indicates pressure/flow switch opened or broke its electricalconnection during operation.

Likely causes:

• Pinched, cracked or broken pressure tubing.

• Plugged tubing nipple on blower housing.

• Heavy ash build up in the exhaust fan housing,

• Faulty wiring, bad or broken connection of flow switch gray wires.

• Weak or bad combustion blower

• Faulty pressure switch.

Configuring the Control BoardDiagnostic Codes (Qualified Service Personnel Only) - Continued

System Snap Disk FaultFault light and #4 heat indicator blinking.

This fault code is caused by a heat sensitive switch that tells the controlboard if the appliance is hot or cold. During operation if the unit runsout of pellets or looses its fire this switch will communicate to the controlboard that the stove is getting cold. The control board will shut off theauger functions and initiate a twenty minute combustion fan safety cooldown. Another condition that will trigger this fault code is a failed start.When the appliance is started the control board initiates a 30 minutetimer, if the appliance is cold at the end of this 30 minute start up timerthe control board will indicate a #4 fault and initiate a 20 minutecombustion fan cool down.

Likely causes:

• Unit ran out of pellets.

• Fire went out during operation.

• Unit was cold at the end of a start cycle (fire did not light).

• Faulty snap disk.

Configuring the Control BoardDiagnostic Codes (Qualified Service Personnel Only) - Continued

Safety or Hopper Snap Disk Fault

Fault light and #6 heat indicator blinking.

This fault code is caused by the safety or hopper snap disk registeringan over-heated appliance during operation. The control board then shutsdown the auger and the convection and combustion blower will run atmaximum output for a 40 minute safety cool down cycle. The only wayto stop this cool down is to unplug the appliance to reset the controlboard.

Likely causes:

• Faulty snap disk

• Corroded, loose or broken Snap Disk wiring.

• Failed, plugged or blocked convection blower.

• Reduced air flow into the motor compartment such as blocked air vents• on panels or doors.

• Missing refractory.

• Improper fuel type.

• Unauthorized parts used in the pellet feed system.

Control Board Operation

The Two Modes ofOperation:

Manual

Manual mode requires the userto turn the heater on and offmanually.

Auto (requires a thermostat)

Auto mode allows you to use athermostat to control roomtemperature. The stoveautomatically turns on when thetemperature drops below thethermostat setting. Once thestove reaches operatingtemperature, the stove then runsat the heat output settingselected.

SwitchingModes While in Operation

Whenever the stove is switchedfrom one mode to another whilein operation, the stove will enterthe "start-up" sequence for aminimum of 20 minutes.


Manual Mode

Manual mode requires the user to turn the heater on and off manually.

To Start

Press the "Manual Start" button. That's it. The stove automatically goesto a medium burn rate and high fan while the igniter starts the fireburning within 10 minutes. During this period the lowest “HEATOUTPUT” light will flash. If the stove does not start in 30 minutes, thestove turns off.

Once up to temperature, the stove will then run at the heat outputsetting selected on the control panel (see “To Adjust the Heat” below).



To Shut Down

Move the mode switch to "OFF". Theexhaust blower will still run until theheater cools down.

To Adjust the Heat

Press the "Heat” buttons to adjust theheat output.

NOTE: During start-up you may adjustthe heat setting. This heat settingwill take affect once the start-upsequence is complete.



Auto Mode

Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to controlroom temperature. The stove automatically turns onwhen the temperature drops below the thermostatsetting. Once the stove reaches operating temperature,the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.

To Adjust Room Temperature(or Start the Stove)

Move the thermostat to the heat setting desired. If theroom is cooler than the setting, the stove will go throughthe start-up sequence for approximately 10 minutes.During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light willflash. Once up to temperature, the stove will then runat the heat output setting selected on the control panel. If the room is too hot, move the thermostat to a lessersetting.

To Adjust the Heat

Press the "Heat” buttons to adjust the heat output.

HINT:

If you find that the stove turns on and off repeatedly,you may wish to turn the heat output to a lessersetting. The lower setting will provide a moreconsistent heat output over time, eliminating the needfor the thermostat to repeatedly turn the stove off.

NOTE:

If the thermostat calls for heat while the stove is stillcooling down, the stove will go through the start-upsequence (for a minimum of 20 minutes).



To Shut DownMove the mode switch to "OFF". The exhaustblower will still run until the heater cools down.

Adjusting the Fan Speed

NOTE: When you press the Fan speedbuttons the “Heat Output” lights willindicate fan speed (not “Heat Output”).After a few seconds the “Heat Output”lights will go back to displaying the heatoutput setting.



"FAULT" Light

This light comes on when an error occurs:

• The stove runs out of pellets

• During initial start-up (for a split second) or for improper electricall• frequency

• A start-up sequence that does not result in the heater coming up• to temperature

• To reset the fault light, turn the mode switch to off and re-start • the stove.



Troubleshooting PelletAppliances

• Keep the operation sequence in mind.• Ask what should be working in• each mode and what should not.

• Before troubleshooting any pellet • •• appliance always UNPLUG and• re-plug THE APPLIANCE to reset the• control board, (If the appliance was •turned off before it finished the cool •down mode it will start there instead •of the start-up mode).

• Run through the modes and observe• what is working or not working.

• Begin with what is not working before you move to the• next mode.

• Each time the pellet system is turned on it runs a quick self-• •• diagnosis, (you will see the fault light come on and then go off).

• If, during this diagnosis, it senses any problem with the convection• blower or circuit, the exhaust blower will immediately come on,• even through the ON/OFF switch is off.

• This automatically tells you there is a convection circuit problem• that must be corrected.
