2. TECHNICAL DATA
The data plate or label is located on the rear part of the unit and shows all the characteristic data for the unit, including the details of the manufacturer, the serial number, and the CE marking.
A label that is missing or obscured makes the tasks of installing and repairing the unit more difficult because it may not be possible to identify the product. In the event of it becoming damaged,
request a copy from the Technical Support Service.
3. FUEL
The FERLUX wood pellet heater has been designed to burn wood pellets that comply with the requirements established in Regulation UNE-EN ISO 17225:2014 regarding Solid
biofuels and in Regulation ONORM M 7135.
PROPERTIES OF WOOD PELLETS
There are various types of wood pellet on the market and they are of varying quality and have different characteristics in their manufacturing processes and types of wood used.
As was stated previously, this heater is designed to operate with DINplus size wood pellets (marking obtained according to Austrian regulation Onorm M 7135) and ENplus (marking
obtained according to Regulation UNE-EN ISO 17225-2:2004). The main requirements of these aforementioned regulations are:
Requirement
Diameter
Length
Lower calorific value
Humidity
Ash
A wood pellet that has gained certification under either of these two regulations is the best way to assure the proper functioning of the FERLUX wood pellet heater.
If the wood pellet does not come suitably marked, the appropriate certificate must be requested.
If faced with an unidentified wood pellet, or one which, due to a variety of circumstances, could be deemed to have different characteristics, there are a series of criteria that can be
applied to judge whether or not it is suitable for use, for which you should be guided by the following advice:
•
DO NOT USE pellets with different dimensions than those stated in the previous table.
