C. Loss of Power
Minimizing Smoke During Loss of Power Using Battery
Back-up
Harman® strongly recommends installing battery back-
up to minimize entry of smoke into the room in the
event of power loss.
Your pellet/biomass burning appliance relies on a
combustion blower to remove exhaust. A power failure will
cause the combustion blower to stop. This may lead to
exhaustseepingintotheroom.Verticalriseintheventing
may provide natural draft. It is, however, no guarantee
against leakage.
There are two Harman® approved battery back-up
options for your appliance:
Uninterruptible Power Supply UPSbatteryback-upsare
availableonlineoratcomputerandofceequipmentstores.
Your Harman® appliance with Rev E or later software
available beginning in November 2010 may be plugged
directlyintoaHarman®approvedUPS:
• The APC (American Power Conversion) model
#BE750GandtheTrippLitemodelINTERNET750Uare
testedandapproved.Otherbrandsormodelsmaynot
be compatible.
Whenpowerislost,afullychargedUPSwillpowerasafe,
combustion blower only shut-down. Your appliance will
pulse the blower every few seconds to clear exhaust until
thereisout. NOTE: The UPS provides safe shut-down
only. It is not intended for continued operation.
• TheSurere512connectstoa12voltdeepcyclebattery
thatwill runyourappliance forupto eight(8)hours. It
includes a trickle charge feature that keeps your battery
chargedwhenpowerisavailable.NOTE:Ifthepoweris
outforlongerthanbatterylife,smokeleakagemaystill
occur unless your stove has been safely shut down.
Yourappliancewillrecognizewhenpowerisrestored.What
happens depends on ESP temperature and whether it is
equipped with automatic ignition:
• In “Automatic” Mode,unitsequipped with automatic
ignitionwillrespondtothesetpointandESPtemperature
and resume normal operation.
• In “Idle” Mode,orforunitswithoutautomaticignition:
• If the ESP is cool, the appliance will remain shut
down.
• IfthereisoutandtheESPisstillwarm,thefeeder
mayrestart.Sincethereisout,theESPtemperature
willnotrise.Theunitwillthenshut-down,andmay
ashasix-blinkstatuserror.(SeeESPerrorcodes)
• If the re is still burning, it will resume normal
operation.
Contact your dealer if you have questions about UPS
compatibility with your appliance.
Use only Harman
®
approved battery back-up devices.
Other products may not operate properly, can create
unsafe conditions or damage your appliance.
CAUTION
!
Always keep appliance doors and hopper lid closed
and latched during operation and during power
failures to minimize risk of smoke or burn-back.
