1.4 Safety devices
Information
The stove is fitted with the following safety devices:
PRESSURE SWITCH
Monitors pressure in the smoke duct. It is designed to shut down the pellet feed screw in the
event of an obstructed flue or significant back-pressure (from the wind).
SMOKE TEMPERATURE SENSOR
Monitors the temperature of the smoke, and gives permission for startup or shuts the stove down
when the smoke temperature falls below the preset value.
FUEL HOPPER TEMPERATURE SENSOR.
If the temperature exceeds the preset safety level, it immediately shuts down the running of the
stove, and has to be reset manually before the stove will restart. Take care when carrying out the
operation of resetting it, because if the stove locks out a second time, it will be necessary to call
the technical assistance centre.
ELECTRICAL SAFETY
The stove is protected against violent surges of current by the main fuse, which is located on the
control panel at the rear of the stove. Other fuses to protect the electronic boards (main board and
heat-exchanger board) are to be found on the boards themselves.
FAILURE OF THE SMOKE EXTRACTION FAN
If the fan stops, the electronic board shuts off the supply of pellets in good time, and an alarm
message is displayed.
BREAKDOWN OF THE REDUCTION MOTOR
If the reduction motor stops, the stove continues to function until it has cooled down to the
minimum level.
TEMPORARY POWER OUTAGE
After a brief interruption of the electrical power, the stove relights automatically.
FAILURE TO LIGHT
If during the lighting stagea flame does not start, the stove automatically makes a further attempt
to light.
TAMPERING WITH THE SAFETY DEVICES IS PROHIBITED
It is only after eliminating the cause which gave rise to the intervention of the safety system,
that it is possible to relight the stove and thus reset the automatic operation of the sensor.
