Ok...just finished my PF100 install...working on a detailed install post for everybody. Fired it up yesterday and wow...awesome...
So...before I assume I have a hardware problem, let me see if I understand the operations of this unit correctly. As many have stated, the manual leaves quite a bit to be desired. I am running my unit on manual (automatic with manual-lite).
The thermostat controls the feed motor. Turn the thermostat set point above the ambient, feed motor ramps up to the setting you have selected, consequently heat output ramps up, and the fan/limit control kicks on the distribution blower. The blower is not controlled by the thermostat...which is why you don't hear the typical "click" when the setpoint is reached. Am I understanding this correctly?
Also...is it possible the thermostat could be off by 3-5 degrees? Ambient was 74 (based on my other thermostat), Harman thermostat was at 70 and calling for heat.
One last question...when the unit is "idling" (below the thermo setpoint) what is the consumption rate? Manual says 1 lb. per hour...is this close to correct?
Thanks...
