Pacific Energy VISTA D SERIES Installation And Operating Instructions Manual - page 9
Blower
The Insert comes equipped with a variable speed circulating
air blower. The blower system is thermostatically controlled
for automatic operation, as well manually with a convenient
bypass switch.
Blower Operation
Automatic: To operate the blower automatically, push the
rocker switch to the “0” or OFF position and set the fan speed
control to a desired setting.
This will allow the blower to turn on automatically once the
Insert has come up to operating temperature. It will also shut
the blower off after the fi re has gone out and the appliance
cooled to below a useful heat output range. On and Off times
will vary with installation and location of appliance.
Manual: To manually operate the blower, push the rocker
switch to the “1” or ON position and set the fan speed control
to a desired setting. This will bypass the temperature switch
and allow full control of the blower.
Suggested settings:
- Combustion air control setting of "L" (low), operate blower
speed control on “Low”.
- Combustion air control greater than "L" (low), operate
blower speed control at desired setting.
Electrical Supply
Circulating air blower electrical rating: 115V, 60 Hz, 80 Watts.
For your protection against shock hazard, use only a properly
grounded outlet that will accept a three-pronged plug. Do not
cut or remove the grounding prong.
Consult local codes or in the absence of local codes, with
the current CSA C22.1 Canadian Electrical Code and in the
USA with the National Electrical Code, ANSI/NFPA 70 (lat-
est edition).
Combustion Air
Consult local building codes regarding combustion air sup-
ply. Intake or combustion air can be supplied to the Insert in
one of two ways:
1) Direct outside air supply: Remove cover from ash clean
out in existing fi replace. Place a rodent screen in place of
the chimney cleanout cover. Install the Insert as described
in the "Installation" section, making sure not to cover the
opening of the air inlet. When installation is complete,
seal the surround to the fi replace with insulation. This will
ensure combustion air is drawn from outside the house
and into the 7"(178mm) x 2"(51mm) intake at the lower
rear of the appliance.
2) Room air supply: Remove the two screws securing the
blower to the front of the unit. One on either side of the
blower assembly(Fig. #12a).
•
Now remove the screw securing the room air cover plate
to the unit and remove the cover plate(Fig. #12b).
•
Reattach the blower assembly. The Insert will now draw
its air from the room through the front.
Note: The living space around the heater must be well
ventilated with good air circulation. Anything that may cause
a negative pressure can cause gases or fumes to be pulled
into the living area. During extremely cold weather, and es-
pecially when burning at very slow rates, the upper parts of
the exposed chimney may ice up, partially blocking the fl ue
gases. If blockage occurs, fl ue gases may enter living space.
