TING LEVEL SETTINGTING LEVEL SETTING

TING LEVEL SETTING

The heater must be fed and the rear switch in position “1”. Display (7) may show the inscription On , OFF or Star .

Y our appliance is delivered with an excellent program installed that favours combustion yield; the program is called P 1. If you are using pellets with an out-of-standard incidence of residues after combustion in the brazier, alternative levels may be selected:

P 2 : this program increases the smoke suction unit speed acceleration. P 0 : when using too long pellets and/or flue outlets with very high vacuum, over 2 mm water column.

The pellet consumption value is not affected by the operating level settings.

Select the required level by acting as follows: Repeatedly press three times the key (6) until the inscription LIV flashes on the display and, then, the corresponding level set on the heater will show ( P1 o P2 o P0) In order to change the operating level as key (4) is kept pressed, press the key (3).

By holding down button (4) and pressing button (3) repeatedly the level changes in the following sequence: P2... ...P0 ... P1.

If the change is made while the insert is running the difference in the flame will be apparent. It is mandatory to pay particular care when selecting the most appropriate operating cycle for your installation. After the selection of the operating cycle a thorough cleaning of the brazier is mandatory.

Before using the appliance check that all the movable parts are in place; also remove any labels and stickers from the glass to avoid having permanent traces remain on the surfaces. Turn the switch installed on the back of the heater to position “1” (= ON). Press button (1) to start the start up phase. When key (1) is repeatedly pressed, the desired combustion level can be set and it will be active at the end of the ignition stage. The electrical heater will start to overheat and after a few minutes the first lot of pellets will start dropping into the brazier. This occurs because the screw feeder has to fill up because it is completely empty. The first time the heater is started up the start up phase will have to be carried out twice for this very reason.

CAUTION : The start up phase (word Star appearing on the display) takes 20 minutes during which the heater ignores any commands transmitted to it. After this time has elapsed the word ON appears on the display. The fan starts as soon as the heater body exceeds 42°C. During the work stage it is then possible to adjust combustion and the ventilation: Combustion is adjusted by 5 leds (through key (1)) , while the ventilation adjustment is distributed over 6 levels shown by the leds that turn on in succession (through key (2)).

For an overall confirmation and to return to the status display of the heater, repeatedly press the key (6) until the operating status is displayed. It is possible to set back the operating level to P1 by keeping the key (5) pressed for 8 seconds until the display shows the inscription rESt : this operation may be carried out when the display shows the inscription ON or OFF or StAr.

When the programming is enabled (temporary inscription on cr on the display and, at the same time, a fixed point is present on the right side at the bottom of the display) any additional chronothermostat (see para.7.2) is deactivated.

Programming can be reset by keeping key (5) pressed for 8 seconds until the inscription rESt is displayed: this operation can be carried out when the inscriptions On or OFF or StAr are shown on the display.

To turn the heater on it is necessary for the inscription OFF to be present on the display; if it is not present, the key (6) must be repeatedly pressed until the inscription OFF appears.

Page 10

pg. 10

CAUTION: In the event of connections to the chronothermostat Thermorossi shall not be held responsible for the insert not starting up, smoke leaks, breakage of the lighting component. In the event of a programmed cycle on always ensure that the brazier is clean and seated correctly in its lodging.

7.2 OPERATING WITH THE ADDITIONAL CHRONOTHERMOSTAT (NOT SUPPLIED )

It is possible to install, as an alternative to the additional room thermostat, a chronothermostat that must be connected by means of a jack to the back of the Ecotherm heater in the socket marked “CHRONOTHERMOSTAT” (see drw. para.5.1). Using this outlet when the chronothermostat contact closes the ON cycle starts, whereas when the contact opens the OFF cycle starts. The operating level at start up (combustion power - fan speed ) is the same as the level used before the last time the heater shut down. This operation can also occur by adjusting its room temperature. Once the desired temperature set on the chronothermostat is reached the contact opens and executes the shut down cycle. Similarly when the room temperature drops below the set temperature the contact closes and the ON cycle starts. If an unsuitable room temperature value is selected the heater will be subjected to continual ON-OFF cycles, consequently the increased number of start ups will result in greater consumption of electrical energy. The chronothermostat can be used to program temperatures, times and dates for the ON-OFF cycles. It is therefore possible to program a momentary shutting down of the heater according to the room temperature.

CAUTION: The manufacturer denies all responsibility for the life of the electrical heater if subjected to excessive start ups. The manufacturer recommends setting a suitable room temperature value in the chronothermostat in order to prevent this possibility. CAUTION: Use N.O. (normally open) contacts for the connection to the chronothermostat. Contact 1-3 of the chronothermostat mod. “Perry”.

The heating capacity is adjusted by pressing key (1) or on the remote control provided . Act on this command to adjust the quantity of pellets fed to the firebox. Maximum combustion power is achieved when all 5 leds are lit.

Caution: The fan starts as soon as the heater body exceeds 42°C. The fan setting is expressed visually by means of 6 different positions represented by 6 bars: press button (2) repeatedly to regulate it.

6.2 HEATER COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION ADJUSTMENTS

7 ADDITIONAL ROOM TEMPERATURE THERMOSTAT / ADDITIONAL CHRONOTHERMOSTAT

(not supplied)

Y our heater is already provided with all programming functions: Two connectors are located on the back of the heater near the electric power socket.

They refer to two operating modes: à With the room temperature thermostat. à With the chronothermostat or modem. Procure a jack where the 2 wires are to be welded as illustrated in the diagram:

Use only contacts 1 and 2, do not use contact 3 .

Contacts 1-2 are defined as “CLEAN” contacts and they must never be fed with 220 V. If the board is energised with 220V or voltages exceeding 6 V the control board will be permanently damaged and will not be covered by the GUARANTEE.

7.1 OPERATING WITH THE ADDITIONAL ROOM TEMPERATURE THERMOSTAT (NOT SUPPLIED )

It is possible to install an additional room temperature thermostat by connecting it to the back of the Ecotherm heater, by inserting a jack in the socket marked “THERMOSTAT” (see drw. para.5.1). This stereo jack is not supplied with the heater but is readily available in electrical or stereophonic equipment supply stores. The operating principle is as follows:

-When the room temperature reaches the set temperature (only during the RUNNING phase) the thermostat closes the contact and the heater shifts to the minimum room fan speed and minimum combustion power. By using the room temperature thermostat the heater does not shut down, therefore electrical energy consumption is kept to the minimum and the heater has a longer life.

-When the room temperature drops the thermostat opens the contact and the heater returns to its original position in terms of thermal power and ventilation.

-In this position it is not possible to start up the heater automatically or shut it down automatically. CAUTION: N.C. (normally closed) contacts must be used for the connection to the additional room temperature thermostat. Contacts

1-2 of the chronothermostat mod. “Perry”.

When the programming is enabled (temporarily shown on the cr display, with the fixed presence, at the same time, of a point on the right side at the bottom of the display of the control panel (refer to par. 5.3)) any additional chronothermostat (refer to par. 7.2) is disabled.

brushes and vacuum cleaner.

• TWICE A YEAR clean the smoke exhaust, including the flue outlet.

A vacuum device simplifies the cleaning procedure. Use a damp cloth or a scrunched up piece of newspaper, dampened and rolled in the ash, to wipe the glass until it is perfectly clean. Do not clean the glass while the heater is operating. The glass remains reasonably clean if the catalyst - deviator blade is installed correctly in the brazier as shown in figure 2. The heater must be completely cooled down before the side panel can be cleaned with a soft cloth and water.

•The room where the heater is installed must have a good air flow to guarantee secondary air for the appliance for the combustion process and

for ventilation of the room. The natural air flow occurs directly through permanent apertures to the outside made in the walls of the room, or by means of single or multiple ventilation ducting. The ventilating air must come from outside and if possible, away from sources of pollution. Indirect ventilation is also allowed by taking in air from rooms adjacent the one where the insert eater is installed taking into account all the warnings and limitations specified below.

•The apertures in the walls must comply with the following requirements:

- -have an unobstructed section of at least 6cm² for each Kw of installed thermal power, with a minimum limit of 100cm²;

- be made in such a way that the vent openings, both on the inside and outside of the wall, cannot be obstructed;

- be protected with grills or similar systems in order not to reduce the section described above;

- be situated at floor-level.

•The air flow can also be obtained from an adjacent room as long as:

- the adjacent room is equipped with direct ventilation in compliance with the points described above;

- in the room to be ventilated the installed appliances are only connected to one flue outlet;

- the adjacent room is not used as a bedroom or a common area of the building;

- the adjacent room is not a room with a fire hazard, such as storage sheds, garages, combustible material store rooms;

- the adjacent room does not become a vacuum compared to the room to be ventilated due to an opposite draught effect;

- the air flow from the adjacent room to the room to be ventilated is unobstructed through the permanent apertures having an overall net section

of no less than that indicated above. These apertures can be obtained by enlarging the space between the door and the floor.

This chapter is not intended to replace UNI 7129/92, UNI 10683 and EN 14785 standards to which it refers. The qualified installer must in any case be fully aware of this standard and its amending versions.

8.3 REPLACEMENT OF THE REMOTE CONTROL BATTERY

When the infrared remote control does not send out the transmission signal (led on), the battery must be replaced. Use a Phillips screwdriver of proper size, to separate the half shells and replace the battery. When the dead battery is removed, it must be safely disposed of.

BATTERIA TAMPONE CR2032

8.4 CONTROL PANEL BUFFER BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Inside the control panel there is a buffer battery type CR2032 . . When hour and programming are not kept in storage , the battery must be replaced using the 2 screws in the rear of the control panel. The dead battery, after it is removed, must be safely disposed of.

SMOKE DISCHARGE TUBE

Due to the frequent accidents caused by poor functioning of flue outlets installed in private dwellings, we have prepared the following paragraph to assist the installer in his inspection of the parts concerned with eliminating the gases produced by combustion. The smoke exhaust must be installed in compliance with UNI7129/92 , UNI 10683 and EN14785 and must respect the following reference values: T. Smoke discharge ~ 220°C Discharge smoke flowrate ~ 9,3 g/s Required draft ~ 0,09 mbar The instructions provided in the regulations mentioned above must be accurately followed: Non-observance may cause serious damages to the product, to objects and to people who make use of the generator.

SMOKE OUTLET

•The smoke exhaust shown in the following figures is the best solution to ensure the discharge of smoke even when the fan is not operational,

such as for example if there is an electrical power failure. A minimum drop of 1.5 metres is required between the T terminal on the outside of the building and the outlet at the back of the appliance, to ensure that residual combustion smoke is discharged in the case described above (Otherwise the residues would stagnate inside the firebox and be discharged out to the free atmosphere). The figures below illustrate the best solution for discharging the smoke out through the roof or into the flue outlet. If you opt to discharge the smoke out through the roof it is important to operate as shown in the figure below on the left. Insert a union tee with inspection cap, connecting brackets suitable for the height of the flue outlet, flashing that crosses the roof and chimney cap to protect against bad weather conditions. If you decide to use a classic masonry outlet see the diagram below on the right. A union tee with inspection cap and suitable supporting brackets are required. If the flue outlet is too big we recommend inserting a stainless steel or porcelain-coated steel tube with a diameter not exceeding 150mm. Seal area where the inlet and outlet part of the smoke exhaust meets the wall. It is strictly forbidden to apply mesh to the end of the outlet tube, as it could cause the heater to malfunction. If the smoke tube is installed in a fixed position it is advisable to provide inspection openings for clean-out purposes especially in the horizontal sections. See the diagram. These openings are essential to allow for the removal of ash and unburned products which tend to accumulate along the discharge path.

The appliance functions with the firebox in a vacuum, while the discharge of smoke to the flue outlet has a slight pressure, consequently it is imperative to ensure that the discharge system is hermetically sealed. The smoke discharge tube must be made from suitable materials such as for example: porcelain-coated

steel tubes, and the various fittings sealed with red silicone (resistant to 350°C). The outer casing of the tube must be made with insulating material (mineral wool, ceramic fiber) or use pre-insulated tubing.

If the side outlet is used take care not to damage the silicone tube that connects the pressure switch.

It must be possible to inspect and remove all the smoke tube sections for clean-out purposes.

SCHEDA COMANDO

The heater is programmed to communicate 3 fundamental alarms. The alarms are listed below:

PE OF : is communicated when the temperature during the On mode drops below 42 °C.

This indicates that the heater is switching off due to lack of pellets.

AL AC : is communicated if after the start up phase the temperature does not rise above 42°C. AL OP : this occurs when the smoke outlet is partially blocked.

In order to set the alarms to zero, the feed to the heater must be turned off and restored using switch 0-1 on the back of the heater.

12.1 MAIN COMPONENTS AND THEIR OPERATION

SMOKE PRESSURE SWITCH

This is a safety switch that stops the screw feeder motor whenever necessary. The main cause for the pressure switch tripping is a blocked flue outlet or smoke exhaust pipe. Note that it is strictly forbidden to apply any kind of mesh screen to the end of the pipe. When the holes of the mesh clog up they create a plug that trips the pressure switch which stops the pellet feeder.

SCREW FEEDER MOTOR

This motor is powered at regular on/off intervals controlled by a microprocessor. The operation of this motor is affected when:

-The motor’s thermal cutout trips. -The pressure switch trips due to blocked smoke exhaust.

-Pellets finished. -The heater is switched off intentionally .

-The manual reset thermostat trips at 125°C

ROOM FAN

The fan starts automatically as soon as the 42°C thermostat closes the contact. The fan stops when the fuel hopper is empty or when the insert is switched off intentionally, two situations in which the thermostat’s contact is opened.

SMOKE SUCTION UNIT

This is activated when the start up signal is given. In the first two minutes it «washes» the smoke discharge tube, that is, it functions at maximum working rate. Once this time has elapsed it self-adjusts to the optimal speed. The exhaust continues to operate for approximately one hour from the time the heater is switched off to allow for the evacuation of all the smoke and for safety purposes. It stops 30’ after the thermostat at 42°C opens.

THERMOSTAT AT 42°C

Its function is critical for the following reasons: When the contact closes the heater powers up and the working cycle starts. Similarly, when the contact opens the smoke exhaust stops.

HOPPER SAFETY THERMOSTAT

This thermostat start operating as soon as the temperature in or near the pellet hopper approaches 85°C and sends an immediate signal to the room fan to operate at maximum power.

125°C MANUAL RESET THERMOSTAT

When the temperature exceeds 125°C the pellet feed screw shuts down. A red light at the back of the appliance remains lit. Once the causes for the overtemperature have been identified and remedied the heater can be reactivated by unscrewing the plastic cover of the thermostat located at the back of the heater and pressing the button (the heater temperature must be below 117 °C ).

GLOW PLUG

It is activated in the Star phase. Heats the air to 800°C, which assist the first combustion of the pellet s present in the brazier.

12.2 USEFUL ADVICE FOR INSTALLATION AND OPERATION

1 The appliance must never be deliberately disconnected from the electric power supply. Whenever the appliance is deliberately disconnected

from the electric power supply smoke could be emitted into the room and be a hazard. Similarly never switch off the appliance by suddenly cutting off the electric power supply.

2 Do not install the appliance with horizontal wall outlets only: evacuation of the combustion products must be guaranteed in a natural manner. 3 Do not install the appliance with horizontal sections only: the wall could be exposed to high wind conditions and the appliance could shut

down due to back draft.

4 Operate the appliance at maximum for 1 hour for a complete drying and baking of the silicates contained in the enamel which covers the body

of the heater.

5 Do not install a grill or outlet terminal which could restrain the flow of the combustion gases: this could affect the dynamic gas to the point

where it would not allow the pellets to burn correctly.

6 Read this instruction booklet. 7 Keep the appliance clean and check the burner as described in this manual. 8 Clean the smoke outlet regularly.

9 Use top quality pellets: by saving 20 cents a bag you heat up to 50% less. 10 Maximum useable lengths of smoke exhaust tubes:

Painted aluminized steel tubes (1.5 mm minimum thickness), Aisi 316 stainless steel tubes or 0.5 mm enamelled tubes may be used. Minimum vertical length 4 m Maximum vertical length 8 m Length with min slope .5% 0.5 m Maximum number of elbows at least 0.5 m apart 2
