Hi All,
I recently purchased an older 2006 Empress, and have gone through it and re-furbished everything. I also purchased a modern 50-2088 mother/daughter board combo.
Problem I am having is that I cannot adjust the auger feed rate. I am able to select feed rate 1-5 on the daughter board, but the mother board cycle time remains at 3 seconds on, 8 seconds off. So basically, the stove stays on low, with the fire height just about at the height of the pellet cup.
Everything is clean, and I have tried adjusting everything else. Start-up and shut-down cycles work fine. I have tested the auger motor, and pretty much everything else. After the start-up cycle is complete, I just cannot adjust the feed rates via the daughter board. I believe that the mother board is defective, or that it is not receiving some critical feedback signal to set the feed rate.
The only disclaimer is that I am using a standard 20-pin ribbon cable, not the official Enviro 50-2629 ribbon.
Any help would be appreciated, thanks -Frank
