Pellet Appliance Operation Sequence • Pellet appliance operation sequence is important to understand • when servicing pellet appliances. • Below are the steps our pellet appliances go through. The • • • • following page provides a detailed flow chart of what happens • in each step. START UP MODE RUN MODE SHUT DOWN MODE Until Heat Needs Are Satisfied FAULT COOL DOWN MODE Copyright © 4/20/2006 1 Travis Industries, Inc.
Operating Pellet Sequence START UP MODE • Exhaust Blower On High • Auger Feed On Medium • Ignitor Heats (Max. 30 Min.
Auger Feed Rate Timing • The feed rate of the pellets is determined by the ON/OFF • cycling of auger motor. Remember the auger motor turns • at a constant speed of 1 RPM. Therefore, to vary the pellet • feed, we control the on and off time of the auger motor.

Configuring the Control Board Overview The new AVR control board is the next generation control board that is compatible with all pellet stoves and inserts, large and small manufactured from 1997 to today. Circuitry on the board allows it to be programmed for either the large or small pellet heaters (these heaters use different voltage settings). See ““ for details. It also includes a diagnostic feature that allows a service person to diagnose a fault without having to inspect the wiring or components.
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 back of the control board next to the stock wire harness must be installed. This jumper replaces the diagnostic wires (see “”) that are present on the new wiring harness. The control board will work normally, but the diagnostic capabilities will not function.
Configuring the Control Board Diagnostic 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 Fault Fault light and #2 heat indicator blinking. This fault code indicates pressure/flow switch opened or broke its electrical connection during operation.
Configuring the Control Board Diagnostic Codes (Qualified Service Personnel Only) - Continued System Snap Disk Fault Fault light and #4 heat indicator blinking. This fault code is caused by a heat sensitive switch that tells the control board if the appliance is hot or cold. During operation if the unit runs out of pellets or looses its fire this switch will communicate to the control board that the stove is getting cold.
Configuring the Control Board Diagnostic 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 registering an over-heated appliance during operation. The control board then shuts down the auger and the convection and combustion blower will run at maximum output for a 40 minute safety cool down cycle.

Control Board Operation The Two Modes of Operation: Manual Manual mode requires the user to turn the heater on and off manually. Auto (requires a thermostat) Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turns on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. Once the stove reaches operating temperature, the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.
Control Board Operation 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 goes to a medium burn rate and high fan while the igniter starts the fire burning within 10 minutes. During this period the lowest “HEAT OUTPUT” light will flash. If the stove does not start in 30 minutes, the stove turns off.
Control Board Operation To Shut Down Move the mode switch to "OFF". The exhaust blower will still run until the heater cools down. To Adjust the Heat Press the "Heat” buttons to adjust the heat output. NOTE: During start-up you may adjust the heat setting. This heat setting will take affect once the start-up sequence is complete. Copyright © 4/20/2006 10 Travis Industries, Inc.
Control Board Operation Auto Mode Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turns on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. 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 the room is cooler than the setting, the stove will go through the start-up sequence for approximately 10 minutes.
Control Board Operation To Shut Down Move the mode switch to "OFF". The exhaust blower will still run until the heater cools down. Adjusting the Fan Speed NOTE: When you press the Fan speed buttons the “Heat Output” lights will indicate fan speed (not “Heat Output”). After a few seconds the “Heat Output” lights will go back to displaying the heat output setting. Copyright © 4/20/2006 12 Travis Industries, Inc.
Control Board Operation "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.

Pellet Wall Thermostat Thermostat Placement and Installation 1. Determine a location for the thermostat that is within range of the 20' length of thermostat wire. It should be centralized in the room and away from the heater. The wire may be routed externally on the wall or behind the wall (preferred). Run the thermostat wire to this location. Use nylon ties, if necessary to keep the wire from contacting any hot portions of the heater. 2.
