Heat
(this is provided by
the ignition element)
Fuel
(wood pellets are
introduced into the
pellet burner)
Ignition Stage 1
(hot air from the
ignition element is directed
at the pellets to initiate the
first stage of ignition)
Ignition Stage 2
(the flame is developed
from a weak early stage flame
to a more intense flame
by the addition of extra air
from the combustion fan )
Run Mode
(once the photocell reads enough light
and the flue gas temperature is above
a prescribed temperature the system
enters RUN mode)

Modulation Mode
(when the water temperature rises within
5 C of set point the boiler will start to
reduce to a lower power level that will
maintain the water temperature at just
below the set point)
Standby / Extinguishing
(if in Modulation mode the boiler still
reaches the set point it will extinguish
and enter STANDBY. If the controller
gets a signal to turn OFF the system
will extinguish and enter the OFF state)
