i will give that a try, Should feed be at 4 or 3 or does it matter when the Outside sensor is used
That's a question for ScotL. I have a Pinnacle pellet boiler.

The most pellets I've burned in a day is 2.5 bags, around 8.3 ton per year for the past 6 years heating 2200 sq. ft. and DHW all year, summer included for DHW. I dont use the outdoor sensor because using the sensor for DHW in the summer months didn't work out. When my boiler fires to maintain my settings the flame will wrap itself over the upper tubes and a couple of the lower ones, as the boiler is reaching the high limit setting, the fire will decrease. The feed rate somewhat determines how large the fire is in the burnpot. The feed rate, depending on the length of pellets being used, should be set so as unburned pellets are not being pushed into the ash pan. I found that less pellets will be consumed with a higher feed setting, a lower feed rate results in the boiler running longer with a small flame.How many pellets do you burn a day/week at your settings?
Last spring through this fall I burned Fireside Ultras to heat my DHW usage, I'm now burning Vermont Wood Pellets. The first 3 dip switches, only these 3 to be concerned with, control the quanity of pellets fed into the burnpot at start up before ignition. From left to right I have mine set #1 off, #2 on, #3 on, off is the down position. I don't know what your factory settings are, I have mine set to feed a smaller amount of pellets into the burnpot prior to ignition, fires quicker with less smoke.also i read something about dip switches what are these and should they be changed from factory setting?
Yes, shut the power off. My pellet boiler and the oil boiler, maybe a 5* difference in the temp guages. If the PB was up to 190* and the OB temp was at 135*, I would be concerned that something is wrong with the flow between the boilers.im assuming you need to shut the power off to the stove before tkaing the control panel off? Is your temperature on top accurate? I had mine set at 170 and i went down staiurs and it was readiung close to 190 but and the thermostat was set to 70 and it was 68 in here. Temp guage on oil boiler was reading 135
Do you have the low temperature setpoint set at 140 degrees F? If there is no call for heat, the boiler will not go to a high fire condition until it reaches the low setpoint. Set your deadband closer together by raising the low setpoint knob to a higher setting and closer to the hight temperature setpoint setting.Ok i had the temp on the boiler at 180, we left the house for a couple hours with no hot water running or heat on, we came home and the boiler temp was back to 140 and the boiler turned back on. What would of caused it to drop 40 degrees?
