Overview

This control board is compatible with all large and small pellet heaters manufactured from 1997. Circuitry on the

board allows it to be programmed for either the large or small pellet heaters (these heaters use different voltage

settings). See “Configuring the Control Board“ for details. It also includes a diagnostic feature that allows the end

user to diagnose common problems without having to inspect the wiring or components. The indicator lights on

the control board will display a maintenance code after a problem has been detected. See “Diagnostic Codes” for

details. NOTE: the new wiring harness (250-00017) is required to utilize this feature.

Configuring the Control Board

Configuring for Large or Small Heaters

The control board is initially configured for the large heaters (Astoria, Yankee, Arbor, and Leyden). To change the

configuration the control board must be in the off position plugged into a cold stove, (no lights or running

components) with the jumper molex removed (see the illustration below). In this condition press and hold the

manual auger button down and press both fan up and fan down arrow keys at the same time. All heat output

lights will flash. One flash denotes the large pellet heater configuration. Two flashes denote the small pellet heater

configuration (Newport and Pioneer models). Repeat pressing the keys until the correct configuration is obtained.

Using this Control Board with Older Wiring Harnesses

When the control board is installed on an older wire harness the 4 pin molex jumper plug on the back of the

control board next to the stock wire harness must be installed. This jumper replaces the diagnostic wires (see

“Wiring Diagram”) that are present on the new wiring harness. The control board will work normally, but the

diagnostic capabilities will not function.

Pellet Heater Operating and Troubleshooting Instructions The Two Modes of Operation: Manual Manual mode requires the user to turn the heater on and off manually. Auto (requires a thermostat) Auto mode allows you to use a thermostat to control room temperature. The stove automatically turns on when the temperature drops below the thermostat setting. Once the stove reaches operating temperature, the stove then runs at the heat output setting selected.
