Electric Element - PSG -3000 Installation And Operating Instructions Manual

ELECTRIC ELEMENT

The WOOD / ELECTRIC combined model uses two separate thermostats: one thermostat controls the electric
heating, the other one controls the wood heating. With this system, the electric heating has priority over the wood
heating. When the thermostat activates the electric heating, the air inlet closes down (if opened), the blower starts and
the electric elements are successively activated per block of 5 kW. The system may be connected to an outdoor
sensor which will allow the last block of elements (5 kW) to start up only when the outside temperature is cold enough.
This will reduce the power of the systems by 5 kW during mild temperature for more economy and comfort.
When the call for electric heat is completed, the wood system will take over if the setting of the wood thermostat is
higher than that of the electric thermostat.
So, in normal bi-energy use, you should set the wood system thermostat 2
thermostat.
Take note furnaces equipped with the G10 blower have a four speed motor and furnaces equipped with the G-12
have 2 speed motot and an adjustable pulley.
If the temperature of the element exceeds the limit allowed, the thermostatic captor will disengage the elements. To
reactivate, press the red "manual reset" button on the L-170 thermodisk; find out why the temperature limit has been
exceeded (static pressure too high, fan breakage, dirty filter, etc.) before reactivating.
