AHS S130 Coal Gun : First fire

OK. Yanche, I'm asking. What is that all about?

So based on what you hear what do you think is going on?

What do you think about the wiring?

Assuming things are wired as the factory suggests, it's likely nothing is wrong except the learning curve. I did send "lsayre" a pdf of the factory wiring diagram weeks ago. Don't use setback thermostats, instead bank the extra heat produced in your rooms and be comfortable all the time.

I haven't a clue what an S250 is. A typo? A Connecticut Yankee pronunciation of S260?

This is what it looks like on mine.

One of your posts I believe you were talking with CoaledSweat and talking about this. I believe it was you that joked about the S250.

Blashak Bag note about Connecticut Coal Regulations

Where do the other S130 owners out there keep your L4006A and L4081B aquastats set at?

Latest update: Firing just fine and keeping the house toasty warm since I re-started it on Tuesday evening. Hoping for a "two match" heating season.

That is good news. Did you back down the ash setpoint a little? Time to put that thing to work and cure the paint!

I did drop it down to 130 degrees.

Update: Eight full days of fire in the pot since my restart and still going strong. I believe the entire matter of my out-fire may have been due to having my aquastats reversed. As I stated earlier in this thread I was initially using the right side of the L4081B as my operating limit, and the L4006A as my Hi Limit until Darren (or was it Shawn?) at AHS told me to reverse them.

Oddly enough, my L4081B is clearly factory stickered as "Operating Limit", and my L4006A is clearly factory stickered as "Hi Limit", but per Darren (or perhaps Shawn) that is incorrect. Go figure!

Is this how it is?

Valter, no that is not how I have mine set.

The right hand side of my L4081B is set to 200 degrees (and so is the left hand side, but that is my dump zone control). My L4006 is set to 180 degrees.

I'm set up pretty close to the way McGiever said to do it (see his post above).

Can you take a pic?

Yes, but it will only show what I have just stated so I'm confused at the need for taking a picture of a dual control with both pointers aimed at 200 degrees.

Ok I get it.

Interesting my Low is the dump at 200 and my 4006 is also a secondary dump.

Wonder what the differences in wiring and why?
