Power Failure / heat dissipation loop

OverHeat Safety Zone (Dump Zone): STRONGLY RECOMMENDED in all installations.

When the pellet boiler is operating at High burn, and all demand from the heating system stops, the control

will reduce the feed rate and shut down completely as necessary. This may take several minutes, and the remain-

ing heat may cause the water temperature to continue to rise. If the temperature gets too high, the OVERHEAT

SAFETY ZONE light on the control (see page 23) will illuminate, and the DARK BLUE circuit in the junction box

is energized(see wiring diagram). This circuit will flow 120V to operate a circulator pump installed to flow to the

overheat dump zone established in the original installation plan. If opening a zone valve is the chosen method of

dumping the excess heat, a voltage reduction relay will most likely be needed. If the water temperature continues

to rise to the risk of boiling point, the feed system will stop and the boiler will shut-down. A manual reset will then

be required to operate the boiler. Without a dump zone in place, the excess temperature will build pressure to the

point of opening the relief valve, or with the atmospheric conversion it will allow the water to boil and over-flow

the atmospheric tank. Both scenarios may create water damage and/or slip hazard.

The boiling temperature of water varies at different altitudes and atmospheric pressures. Therefore, at eleva-

tions above 3000 feet, and when using the atmospheric conversion, circuit board dipswitch #6 must be in the “ON”

position.
