Newbie... Need Install Advice For Farenheit Endurance

Oh ok, I didn't know it went over the set temp. Now I understand! Thanks

 

If I had it set at 75 and at 75 it was still calling I think mine is #1 or #2 on your list. My lux is option #3, it cuts off as soon as it hits set temp. That's why I was like WHATTT?? Didn't know they vary like that.

 

Figured it out, thanks DEX. Pro1 stats swing same degree each way. So my 2 degree swing turns my stat on 2 degrees before and off 2 degrees after. I don't really like the after swing but it's what I have.

 

I saw for the first time the LCD said POT CHANGE. I looked in the manual but nothing about this.

I did have it in TSTAT mode last night. Thermostat set to 74 but all night it was only about 69. This morning it was 67 and it said POT CHANGE and I had no flame. Few minuts later it said SHUTDOWN LOSS OF FLAME.

 

the tweaking has begun. Wish you well on the troubleshooting.

 

I realized my draft and auger were on 1. Which cause the flame to eventually go out. But I put the draft to 3 and auger 3 and it's been fine for 24 hours. I was thinking about fuel savings, but Dex has a point. I am gonna give that a try, auger to 5.

I also bumped tstat to level 4 because 3 couldn't keep the house over 69 with these temps and it ran and ran because tstat called for heat. I had it set to 72. Now on level 4, it hits 74(have 2 degree swing) with no prob at least for now with temps in the 20's.

Let me know what you think of the flame and what it says about how it's running, still lots to learn!

What are you guys averaging per day or 24 hour period?
-My first day was level 5 manual and in 24 hours it ate 2 bags.
-Next day was hard to tell cause it went out and I don't know for how long or when.
-Last night it was almost empty so I put 1 bag in, this morning still had plenty but dumped a second bag till I get home. If it last till 5 then it's still at 2 bags average.

 

I would say the damper is 70 percent closed. It came screwed stopped at about 60 percent. I had to back the screw out a little to allow it to go down a tad more.

The new ones must be different, here is the flame on 4 or 5, can't remember. And damper full open the first night.

 

Oh ok, was wondering why the sudden change in color and intensity. When you say ash color, you mean check in the fire chamber or the ash pan?

 

Oh boy lol, have you bought an ash vac?

 

On days that aren't cold (30 or above during the day, 20 or so at night), I go through between 1 and 1.5 bags. When it stays in the teens for highs, I go through 2 bags. We've been keeping the house at 67 this season. Seems to keep the pellet usage down a bit and it's still comfortable for us.

Last January I burned 59 bags. So far for this month I'm at 35. Unless SHTF in the next 9 days I should end up less than a ton for the month.

 

That's great!! What's the swing on your tstat? 69 is comfy with a 1 degree swing. I leave the stat at 72, cause if I go lower than 70 it gets chilly. I have it set for 2 degree swing. But the house goes to 74 because of the swing also lol. So it's toasty!

 

I leave the stat at 67 with a 2 degree swing (on at 66 off at 68). The stat is in the hallway, and the family room/kitchen/dining area has cathedral ceilings, so the living room is usually a bit warmer than the hall. There is a ceiling fan than runs on low 24x7x365, but is reversed in the winter. That helps push the heat from the ceiling down.

When I use the wood burner, it'll jump up to 73 or so pretty quick, and that's when I start seeing windows get opened. I figure save some pellets and put on a sweatshirt rather than burn more and see a window cracked because someone got too warm.

In the summer, we usually have the AC set at 72 or so as neither of us like it much warmer than that. Guess that means I'm a true northerner.

There you go, northerner
