Connecting the Smart Sensors
Catalyst is equipped with three temperature sensing thermocouples.
Each sensor is plugged into the smart controller and help’s Catalyst to
smoothly regulate your burn.
Thermocouples
These thin wires monitor temperature at
their tip. They are very low voltage, and not
dangerous to touch, but are somewhat
fragile and should be handled with care.
The first two thermocouples are routed
through the back of the stove and above the
main baffle in Catalyst’s firebox. The thermocouples should be located
such that their tips are roughly an inch above the baffle, directly below
the catalytic combustor with roughly three inches between the two.
These thermocouples help Catalyst to monitor the fire temperature and
understand the emissions and efficiency of your fire.
The third thermocouple monitors room temperature. The tip should be
positioned as far away from Catalyst as possible and suspended in the
air, not touching any solid surfaces.
Initial Curing
During the first burn of your wood stove, the paint on the stove may
off-gas as part of its final curing process. This is to be expected. Open
windows and ventilation means are recommended. Please refer to the
Exterior Paint section for additional details.
