Input Voltage Alternating Current (AC) Input provided by the local power company. This source of energy
must provide a 120 Volt input signal with a frequency of 60 Hertz and a maximum branch
current capacity of 15 Amperes. If other devices are connected to the branch, interference or
over current may cause circuit breaker to trip.
Fuse (fast acting) The AC fuse should be rated between 6 and 9 amperes.
Vacuum Sensor Ensures that no blockage of the combustion input or combustion exhaust air occurs. If the
vacuum sensor does not operate properly, the Control Board will not allow the stove to
operate.
Exhaust Temperature Sensor Presently, this sensor is a snap disk operating at 110 o F +/- 20 o F. This sensor ensures proper
exhaust temperature has been reached and that a fire is present in the burn pot before the
control system begins the burn cycle.
Overtemp Sensor Presently, this sensor is a snap disk operating at 250 o F +/- 20 o F. The purpose of this sensor
is to shut the entire system down in the event the firebox causes an overheat condition.
Fuel Control The fuel control is a signal provided from the Control Board to the Auger Feed Motor. The
Control Board controls the amount of time that the Auger Feed Motor is on and thereby
controls the amount of fuel fed to the fire pot.
Room Air Control The room air control is a signal provided from the Control Board to the Room Air Fan. The
Control Board controls the phase angle and thereby the amount and time an AC voltage is
applied to the Room Air Fan. This signal controls the speed of the room air passing over the
heat exchanger tubes and the amount of heat delivered to the living space.
Combustion Air Control The combustion air control is a signal provided from the Control Board to the Combustion
Fan. The Control Board controls the phase angle and thereby the amount and time an AC
voltage is applied to the Combustion Air Fan. This signal controls the speed of the
combustion air passing through the burn pot for the different heat settings
Stir Rod An AC device used to create turbulence in the burn pot. The stir rod reduces the potential of
a clinker thereby ensuring more efficient combustion process. The operator must remove and
clean the stir rod from time to time. Be careful not to damage or break the stir rod.
Thermostat (optional) A thermostat input is provided on the back of each Country Flame product. The Control
Board has individual personality modules that allow for stand-alone, semi automatic, or fully
automatic thermostat operation.
