pellet feed too high during startup on Ravelli RV80

[bdewolf]

i did a self install on my Ravelli RV80 a month ago. i performed the RDS procedure, but may have had the final combustion level a bit too low. i adjusted the % pellets to -4 and the % flow to +1 and it seems to be adjusted properly (sure wish i could find an English version of the RDS calibration procedure online).

so far everything seems to be working OK, but during startup, the firebox is overflowing with pellets waiting for the flame to ignite.
once running, pellet delivery seems fine.

is there a way to adjust pellet delivery during the waiting for flame stage?

thank you

RDS setup
If i remember correctly you can adjust the feed rate during start up through the installer menu

i'll take a look at it.

On the older stoves, it is Parameter #32, "Max Load Screw"
This is the max time the auger (screw) is allowed to run during a start-up sequence. Shortening this will reduce the total amount of pellets loaded into the burnpot during startup. I reduced mine too, for the same reason.

Perfect, that fixed it. I reduced the default time from 4 minutes to 3 minutes.

Good thread, very helpful. Can you share the key(s) required for accessing that parameter? The only key I have is "11" for default parameters setting.

Thank you. Once again, very helpful. My R80 is an older version, with fewer buttons to select from & different descriptors but the access code worked.
