St Croix SmartScan Maintenance
System
-
“Pre-emptive Monitoring”
is an innovative
way of detecting when the unit is burning incorrectly.
The following situations can affect the way a Pellet Stove burns:
Operator Error, Poor
Fuel Quality, a Plugged Venting System, a Plugged Stove, a Dirty Burn Pot, Worn
Door Gaskets, Worn Glass Gaskets or Weak Combustion Fan.
How does it work?
-
The area monitored is
inside the Firebox/Burnpot
area, directly
above the back edge of the burn pot.
The SmartScan Infra Red sensing system is very accurate. The monitoring takes place from a
remote location; it can sense an object as small as
one pellet
and does not depend on sensing
temperatures. Temperature sensing is difficult at this location, because it monitors an area that
fluctuates between extremely hot temperatures during High Burn and lower temperatures in the
pot during Low Burn.
By monitoring this area, the stove will shut down when conditions in the Burn Pot fall outside of
the Normal Operating range. Shutting the unit down when fuel reaches this level, will trigger a
diagnostic code that notifies the operator that the stove needs maintenance. The above list is
intended as a guide to determine where the problem may be.
