E. Room Sensor Installation
The room sensor is a small temperature sensor on the end of
a 60" wire. This sensor is installed much like a standard wall
thermostat. There is a remote room sensor port on the rear
of the unit for easy external connection. Use standard 18-2
thermostat wire to extend the sensor to the desired location
(50' maximum). The room sensor should be installed in the
location where you want to control the temperature.
NOTE:
Distances of more than 25 feet from the unit or in
another room are not recommended. The room sensor is
essential for the P43's excellent efficiency.
NOTE:
It is recommended that the room sensor be installed,
even if only installed on the rear of the unit as a return air
sensor.
F. Low Draft Voltage Adjustment
These units are pre-tested at the factory with exactly 120 VAC,
60 Hz. They are checked and adjusted for firebox tightness,
gasket leakage, motor operation and igniter operation. The
P43 is then factory set at a mid-point adjustment and in most
cases will not need any adjustments.
NOTE: The factory low draft setting may not be correct
for the unit's permanent installation conditions.
The control board on the P43 is equipped with a low draft
adjustment port located on the control face just to the right
of the igniter light. Figure 5.4. This voltage adjustment is
provided to allow the unit to be adjusted for the household
voltage where the unit is going to be in permanent operation.
NOTE: The line voltage varies from area to area and often
home to home.
The low draft voltage should be adjusted to achieve the most
efficient burn on low burn or "maintenance". This voltage
adjustment allows the installer to change the low voltage
set point approximately 10 volts. This adjustment should
be done by the installer during set up because a draft meter
reading is
required
to insure proper set up.

screwdriver slot is plastic;
therefore, the unit can
be adjusted while in
operation.
Draft Meter bolt hole location
On a P43 the draft test hole is under
the left rear corner of the firebox on
the pedestal base.
If the unit is not adjusted properly, it does not cause a safety
concern. If the unit is adjusted too high, only efficiency is lost.
If the unit is adjusted too low, the low draft pressure switch
will not allow the feed motor or the igniter to operate.
A simple draft test should be performed after completing the
flue pipe installation. To record the results for future reference:
1. Plug unit into a 120 VAC, 60 HZ outlet.
2. Close the hopper lid, front view door, and the ash pan
door. Neither pellets or a fire are required for this test.
3. With the mode selector in the “OFF” position, turn the feed
adjuster to “TEST”.
4. Record the high draft_____in W.C. (Normal is -.50 to
-.60) The control will be on the High Draft for a total of 2
minutes.
5. After 1 minute, the combustion motor will go down to low
draft and the distribution blower will go on high. Allow
approximately 15 seconds to pass for the combustion
motor to slow before checking the low draft.
6. If the low draft is between -.35 and -.45, record the reading
_____ in W.C. If the reading is higher, slowly turn the
set screw counter-clockwise until the draft lowers. If the
reading is lower, very slowly turn the set screw clockwise
until the draft increases.
NOTE: In some cases, the draft may not go as low as
-.35 to -.45 even with the set screw completely counter-
clockwise. Ideally, you should just set it as low as
possible.

Connect the power cord to a 120 VAC, 60Hz grounded receptacle.
(A surge protector is recommended to protect the circuit board.)
Also be sure that the polarity of the outlet that the stove is plugged
into is correct.
