vacuum switch or proof of fire switch is tripped. Pushing the ON/OFF button until the board re-sets (usually 3-5
seconds) will re-establish the system and the fire will continue unless there is a failure in the electrical components.
When you push the ON/OFF button to start the unit, the green light will flash until the start
up sequence is done (app. 10-15 min.) During the start up sequence, the fuel heat setting will
be over ridden and the unit will feed at the #2 fuel setting. After the start up sequence is
established (app. 10-15 min.) the unit will burn at whatever fuel level is chosen. The number
2or3 heat level is recommended.
The auger light will flash when the auger is running. After the first minute of startup, you can
hold the auger button down to override the system and manually prime the auger.
The fan button will override the # 1 heat level fan speed and go to high speed. This will not
change the fan on the 2-5 heat settings
The auger trim button allows for low fuel setting fine tune adjustment on the # 1 heat setting
only. When pushing the auger trim button, if the # 4 heat level light is shown this indicates
the lowest fuel feed setting, when pushing the auger trim button again, if the # 5 heat level
light is shown this indicates the highest fuel setting. If no light is shown, this indicates the
normal programmed # 1 low heat setting.
Your Magnum Baby Countryside comes with the ability to use 3 separate programming features. This
programming must be done by a qualified factory trained technician. Contact your local dealer to set up an
appointment to have this done. The unit also has 3 separate modes of operation (switch located on top of
board). Manual setting allows operator to choose heat setting changes. T-STAT setting allows operator to
set the high setting and when the thermostat is satisfied, the unit will automatically go to the low setting.
AUTO setting allows the unit to shut completely off when the thermostat is satisfied and re-start when the
thermostat calls for heat. This setting can only be used with wood pellets.
The heat level button is a manual heat adjustment. Pushing the heat level button will
advance the heat settings on level each time that it is pushed. The LED light will
show which heat level that the unit is on. On start up, no matter where the heat level
button is set, the unit will feed on the number 2 heat level. Once the start up
sequence is established, the fuel feed will go to whatever level has been set.
During a short power outage, the board will detect if the proof of fire switch is
engaged. If it is still engaged (closed) the unit will auto re-start.
DIAGNOSTICS:
If the proof of fire switch does not close after 15 minutes, the board will shut down
the igniter, auger feed motor and put the unit into a shut down mode. The # 3 led
light will flash indicating that the proof of fire switch did not close. If the air pressure
switch opens during operation at any time, the system will auto disable the auger
motor and/or the igniter if during start up and the # 2 led light will flash indicating
that the air pressure switch is not closed. This will initiate a shut down mode. As of
5/1/07 the following error lights have been added to the DC control panel. Bad auger
motor is a #1 led light will flash and shut down the system, igintor drawing to many
ohms a #4 led light will flash but system will comtinue to work but must be checked,
high limit switch opens a #5 led light will flash and shut down the unit. If the start up
mode fails during the AUTO T-STAT mode, unit will shut down and require toggling
(on/off) of T-STAT to restart.
