How to adjust the Lincoln SCR for different Fuels?
The Lincoln SCR is approved for 6 fuels. They are Pellets, Cherry Pits, Corn, Wheat, Rye and
Distiller's Grain pellets. Read pages 38 and 39 for information on choosing the correct program
for the fuel of choice.
They are grouped in 2 categories:
1 – Pellets and Cherry Pits, lower in Moisture Content and easy to ignite.
2 – Corn, Wheat, Rye and Distillers Grain, these fuels are higher in Moisture Content and
therefore more difficult to start.
The Lincoln SCR basically has 2 operating modes:
1 - Manual Mode. In this mode the operator of the Lincoln SCR is involved with starting the
unit, and is available to monitor the start-up process of the Lincoln SCR. This mode includes the
Manual position and the T-Stat thermostat position. Only the ON/OFF button will start the unit
up or shut the unit down.
2 – SmartStat Mode is the Automatic Mode. In this mode the Thermostat controls the unit. The
Lincoln SCR starts as soon as the Thermostat calls for heat. The unit shuts off only after the unit
pilots for 1 hour with out calling for heat. If Operating in the SmartStat Mode, make sure the
Thermostat is not calling for heat when trying to shut the Lincoln SCR off at the Control
Board. Turning the Lincoln SCR off at the Control Board while the Thermostat is calling
for heat, will cause the Control Board to turn the unit right back on.
During the Break-In period and anytime a switch is made to a different Fuel Category, such as
switching from Pellets or Cherry Pits (which have a lower moisture content and starts quicker) to
burning Corn, Wheat, Rye and Distiller's Grain (which have a higher moisture content and start
slower), the Lincoln SCR must be set up and adjusted for proper ignition. This means the
Damper, Program, Feed and Draft Trim settings must be adjusted in such a manner that after the
ignition cycle finishes, the unit transitions to the fuel in the main hopper in a smooth manner
without overloading the pot.
How to use T-Stat and SmartStat Mode with the Revolution
Technology. (
Read page 28 and page 44 for more information on using a Thermostat)
SmartStat Mode is to be used when the temperatures are mild. Adjust the Control Board for mild
temperatures. Run the Lincoln SCR on the lower settings on the control board to prevent the unit
from cycling on and off needlessly. If the temperature is 50 degrees outside, it would make sense
to run the Lincoln SCR in SmartStat Mode but with the Heat Level set on #1.This way the unit
puts out less heat and will run longer before temperatures in the house rise above the Thermostat
setting. This also provides a more even temperature.
