Locating and Mounting the Thermostat

Mount the TS2BL thermostat at eye level, preferably on an interior wall. For proper operation the thermostat must either be in the same room as the stove, or must readily sense the diffuse heat from a heat discharge and return air duct system. Avoid the direct breeze of warm discharge air on the thermostat. To the side or rear, or across the room from a stove is good.
The TS2BL connects to the Control Module on the appliance with a RJ45 wire.
Choose either behind the wall wiring method or wall surface wiring method. Use the template included with your thermostat to assist in mounting.

QuickStart **

**

The TS2BL is compatible with the vast majority of forced air automatic coal stoker stoves on the market and in use. It can be used straight out of the box with no setup needed for users of Leisure Line and Hitzer brand stoker stoves. If you are using a Coal-trol Digital system on a Keystoker, Alaska, Reading, Harman, or other brand automatic stoker stove you will need to adjust your IDLE, MAX, and possibly your TRBN settings. The recommended settings for which are detailed in the Recommended Settings by Stove Brand section below. Applying those settings is detailed in the SETUP and ADVANCED menu sections below.

TS2BL DISPLAY

• If display is unlit, first button press turns it on.
• Round-robin is normal cycle between room temperature and fuel feed rate [FR].
• On powerup, display may flash “Power Loss”.
• Tap the Menu button to enable outputs. Display will show RUN and begin the Round-robin.
• TS2BL is shipped in Single Setpoint Mode.
• Full capabilities of TS2BL are detailed in the full user manual.

BUTTONS & STATUS LED

• Tap UP or DOWN button to adjust temperature setting. Display will show set temperature.
• Jump back to Round-robin – press and hold Menu button for 3 seconds. Fast feed fuel for 5 minutes – press and hold Menu for 5 seconds. Display will show FEED 5.
• Change warm air fan speed – Tap Menu. Use Up/Down adjust speed. Display will show AUTO FAN or MAN FAN % speed.

Button and Display Basic Description
Operation of the TS2BL thermostat is accomplished with two types of button presses. First is the “tap” which is a short duration press and release of a button lasting no more than one second. The second type of press is the “press and hold” where you press a button and hold it down for an extended period of seconds, releasing only after reaching a desired screen or result.
Upon power up from an extended loss of power, the thermostat will go through an initialization that displays the version number of the software, the manufacturer the thermostat is sold by, and then “PWR LOSS” with the LCD flashing. The Coal-trol Digital Control Module outputs will all be off in this power outage recovery mode. This is a safety that waits for the user to acknowledge the restart from complete loss of power before it will operate the stove’s feeder. This will prevent the Coal-trol system from dumping a hopper of coal into the ash pan after a power outage event that lasted long enough for the fire to have gone out.

Acknowledge the power up and get your stove running by tapping the MENU button. More information on how the TS2BL handles power outages and the four different restart modes is contained in the Power Outages section.
The thermostat comes pre-configured for Single Setpoint mode (SSP). In this mode there is only one setpoint used for all times and days of the week. Adjusting that setpoint is as simple as tapping the UP/ DOWN buttons (or pressing and holding them to make larger adjustments) while the unit is in the round-robin screens. The thermostat will adjust the stove’s fire to reach and maintain the set temperature. More details on the three available setpoint modes can be found in the Setpoint Modes and TS2 & TS2ES Compatibility section.
For many people, that’s all there is to it!
If you wish to use multiple setpoints, as were available with the TS2 or TS2ES; if you need to adjust settings for one of the above mentioned stove brands; if you have a dual stoker Coal-trol Digital system or other customized configuration; or if you wish to learn more about the capabilities and features of your new Coal-trol Digital TS2BL thermostat, please read on.

Recommended Settings by Stove Brand **

**

The TS2BL comes pre-loaded with settings appropriate for most Leisure Line and Hitzer brand automatic stoker stoves. If you have another brand stove please reference this table and adjust the TS2BL’s settings to the recommended defaults for your stove. These, like the pre-loaded settings, are our recommended starting points. Manufacturing differences, tolerances, and parts changes can result in the user needing to adjust from these recommendations to achieve the optimal range of operation for their stove.

Setting| Display| Leisure Line and Hitzer Stoves| Hitzer 710 Furnace| Keystoker 90/105/Koker| Reading (Tri-burner )| Reading (separate combustion blower)| Alaska (paddle)| Harman (Magnum)
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Idle Feed Rate| IDLE| 6| 6| 10| 50| 5| 4|
Maximum Feed Rate| MAX| 40| 30| 85| 99| 25| 30| 99
Triburn| TBRN| N| N| N| Y| N| N| N
Mechanical| | N/A| N/A| Set feeder screw to full clockwise.|

Set red nut to ⅝” from acorn nut.

| Set red nut to tight against the acorn nut, then back off 2 turns.| N/A| Set adjustment handle to 11/16” from the acorn nut.

Follow the instructions in the sections below for accessing the IDLE and MAX settings in the SETUP menu and, if necessary, the TBRN setting in the ADVANCED menu, to apply these recommended settings.

Adjusting IDLE and MAX Fuel Limits

The TS2BL thermostat uses values set by IDLE (formerly MIN) and MAX as limits to the minimum and maximum fuel feed allowed. IDLE sets the smallest fire size and MAX sets maximum fire size. The recommended settings, above, should be the starting point for any adjustment. The need for large adjustment from the recommended settings may indicate mechanical problems with the stove that will not be solved by IDLE/MAX adjustment. See Troubleshooting Your Stove.
While displaying IDLE or MAX, the TS2BL runs the fuel feeder at the IDLE or MAX value shown. It is NOT doing temperature control.
When finished making an IDLE or MAX adjustment, be sure to return to RUN so temperature control resumes.
To adjust the IDLE feed rate go to the IDLE setting in the SETUP menu. Observe the fire. Allow the fire to “settle into” its idle firing rate. Adjust IDLE value up or down to achieve a desired minimum fire size. Allow enough time between adjustments for fire to settle into a new value. IDLE values typically range between 2 and 12. If IDLE is set too low, the fire may go out. If too large, unnecessary heat may be produced on warm days.
To adjust the maximum fuel rate, go to MAX and observe the fire. Allow the fire to settle into its MAX rate setting. Adjust MAX value to the desired fire size. Allow enough time between adjustments for fire to settle into a new value. MAX values typically range between 17 and 85. If MAX is set too high, partially burned or glowing coal may be driven off the grate. Coal should be completely burned about 1 to 2 inches from the discharge edge of the grate.

WARNING – The Coal-trol Digital™ is capable of regulating a fire smaller than required to maintain proper chimney draft. Follow all manufacturers recommendations for minimum draft pressures and temperature. The use of mechanical means such as a draft inducer fan may be required to ensure proper draft at low fire. Installation of a carbon monoxide detector is highly recommended.

Setpoint Modes and TS2 & TS2ES Compatibility

As mentioned in the QuickStart section above, the Coal-trol Digital TS2BL thermostat comes with the Single Setpoint, or SSP, mode of operation pre- loaded from the factory. In this mode there is only one setpoint and it is adjustable directly from the round-robin screens by using the UP/DOWN buttons.
The TS2BL offers two additional modes of operation:
The TS2 mode provides the setpoint experience of the original TS2 thermostat by providing 2 programmable set points, one for daytime and one for nighttime. These two setpoints are used on all days of the week. You get to control the time of the setpoint as well as the temperature setting. While in this mode, on the round-robin screens, you can perform a temporary override of the currently programmed setpoint by using the UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the temperature setting. When the next programmed setpoint time comes, the programmed setpoint will take over. In this mode, you will need to set the thermostat’s time setting in the SETUP menu. Setpoint programming is also available in the SETUP menu, detailed in the SETUP menu section below.
Lastly, there is the ES mode, which replicates the setpoint programming capability of the original TS2ES thermostat. In this mode, you have 8 programmable setpoints, 4 for weekdays
(morning, day, evening, and night) and 4 more for weekends. Like with the TS2 mode, setpoint programming is accomplished in the SETUP menu. You will have to set a time as well as the day, also done in the SETUP menu. Temporary overrides of setpoint temperatures is accomplished by using the UP/DOWN buttons from the round-robin screens. An override will revert to the programmed setpoint temperature when the next programmed setpoint time is reached.
If you wish to make a long-term override of programmed setpoints, such as for a vacation, it is recommended you switch the thermostat back into Single Setpoint (SSP) mode and set the temperature where you want it. Any programmed setpoints you have set up while in TS2 or ES mode will be remembered and reinstated when you return the TS2BL back to the TS2 or ES mode.

Power Outages

The TS2BL has a new feature that better handles power outage situations. In the event of a power outage, one of four things will happen.

Nothing will Happen| Less than 4 minutes| If power is removed for less than 4 minutes the TS2BL will restart and operate normally as if nothing has happened. Time will be kept during the outage and the clock adjusted accordingly if using TS2 or ES mode, but there will be no
---|---|---
| | change in the operation of the stove from before the power outage.
“PRW IDLE”| 4 to 6 minutes| If power is removed for between 4 and 6 minutes, the TS2BL will restart into an idling mode and flash “PRW IDLE” on the screen. This is to attempt to maintain a fire, but allow you time to check on the fire condition before normal operation resumes. Normal operation will not resume until you acknowledge the warning by tapping the MENU button.

While in this power outage recovery mode the stove will operate at the IDLE feed rate. Normal temperature control will not happen until you acknowledge the warning. Time is kept during the outage and will be adjusted automatically when power is restored, if using TS2 or ES mode.

“PRW OUT”| Greater than 6 minutes| If power is removed for more then 6 minutes, but not long enough for the thermostat’s backup power to be depleted, the TS2BL will restart into a power out mode and flash “PRW OUT” on the screen. In this mode the stove motors will be turned off and the control will wait for you to acknowledge the warning screen by tapping the MENU button, when it will resume normal operation. This mode assumes that the fire has gone out after 6+ minutes and will prevent coal being dumped into the ash bin. Time is kept during the outage and will be adjusted automatically when power is restored, if using TS2 or ES mode.
“PWR LOSS”| 1 hour or more| If power is removed for more than about an hour the TS2BL’s backup power will likely be depleted. When power is restored the control will startup in the power loss mode and flash “PWR LOSS” on the screen. Tap the MENU button to start normal operation. This is the mode the thermostat will start up in when you first power it up after installation. Time will not be kept during this outage duration, so you will need to manually adjust the time setting as needed if you are using TS2 or ES mode.

Test Mode

When setting up your stove, after reconnecting it from the off-season, or when you’re troubleshooting a problem it is often useful to run the TEST mode of the thermostat, to cycle through the outputs of the control module. The TEST mode is located in the SETUP menu under the TEST action item.
To enter the TEST mode:

• Press and hold the MENU button for 10 seconds, until the screen reads “SETUP”, then release.
• Tap the MENU button until you see the word “TEST” on the display.
• To start the TEST mode cycle, tap the UP or DOWN button.

If you go past the TEST item, you can keep tapping MENU to loop through the SETUP menu, until you get back to it.
While in the TEST mode cycle, the display will show what stage of the test is being run. These stages will auto-advance in a continuous cycle, changing every 10 seconds.
The stages and what it’s doing are:

“SV” or “SFV”, see ADVANCED menu for more information.
“SUPP FAN”| Turn on only the supplemental/aux fan output. Only shown if the CMT mode is set to “SF” or “SFV”.
“ALL ON”| Turn on all outputs at the same time.

The cycle will repeat until you turn off the mode by tapping any button.
If you are using a CMT setting of “D” (Dual Stoker) please see below in the Control Module Type, SETUP, and ADVANCED sections for more details on how to use Dual Stoker features in the TS2BL thermostat and to find out how TEST mode and its cycle stages when Dual Stoker mode is set.

Menus

In this section you’ll learn all about the menus of the TS2BL. Here are some general principles to help you navigate around.

1. Tapping any button while the backlight is off will turn the backlight on. This tap to turn on the backlight will not modify any setting or influence the menus. The backlight will turn off after 2 minutes of no button presses.
2. In almost all menu screens if you wait for 60 seconds the TS2BL will return to the round-robin display. This is called round-robin auto-return. If you do not want to wait, you can exit from most menu screens back to the round-robin by pressing and holding MENU for about 3 seconds (you will see the current temperature screen show up on the display). This is called jumping to the round-robin. The few menu screens where these two behaviors do not work will be noted in the descriptions below.
3. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust menu settings. Tap for minimum increments. Press and hold to move faster through the available setting range.
4. Some items in the menus are sub-menus or action locations. To enter the sub-menu or activate the action, tap the UP or DOWN button.

Round-Robin / Home
The round-robin screens auto-advance on a timed loop to show important information quickly, at a glance.

“TS2” or “ES” mode (see ADVANCED menu section).
| | In TS2 or ES modes this will show “MOR”, “DAY”, “EVE”, “NIT”, “OVR” for Morning, Day, Evening, Night, or Override as is appropriate for the mode and the current setpoint setting being used.
“FR    99%”| Feed Rate| Displays the current fuel feed rate.

That’s the end of the round-robin screens. If you use the UP/DOWN buttons while in the round-robin screens, you will be brought to the Change Setpoint screen.

“SET “OVR “NIT| 76°F”
73°F”
62°F”| Change Setpoint| By using UP/DOWN buttons from any round-robin screen, you will be put into this screen where you can adjust the setpoint. You will notice that the display flashes rapidly to help indicate you are in temperature adjustment mode.
---|---|---|---
| | | In SSP this screen will read “SET” followed by the setpoint setting. This setting will be maintained until you change it again.
| | | In TS2 or ES modes this adjustment is a temporary override until the next programmed setpoint time is reached. When the setpoint temperature does not match the currently programmed setpoint, it will read “OVR” followed by the temperature setting. If the setting matches the currently programmed setpoint, it will show the currently programmed setpoint name – “MOR”, “DAY”, “EVE”, or “NIT” – followed by the temperature setting.
| | | Tap the MENU button to return to the round-robin, or wait 5 seconds.

Lastly, if the thermostat detects a temperature higher than 95℉, it will go into a “HITEMP” alarm mode where the control will shut down all outputs and flash “HITEMP” on the screen. To exit this alarm state you must wait until the room temperature has fallen below 95℉ and then tap the MENU button to acknowledge the condition and allow the control to start operating normally again.
The round-robin screens will look like this when you’re in “SSP” (Single Setpoint) mode  (default):

These screens will look like this in “TS2” mode:

In “ES” mode the screens will look like this:

Quick Menu
Enter the quick menu by tapping MENU once while in any of the round-robin screens. Tap MENU to move through each screen. Tap MENU again on the last screen to return to the round-robin screens.

“AUTO FAN” when the fan is being controlled by the TS2BL’s logic. It will read “FS” followed by a percentage value between 1 and 99% when you have it in manual fan speed mode.
You can adjust from auto control to manual by using the UP/DOWN buttons. Reset it to AUTO mode by trying to set a value of 0% or 100%.
“     5:10AM” “THU 10:13PM”| Current Day and Time| Displays the current day and time. This screen is not shown if the SPM setting (see ADVANCED section) is set to “SSP” (default). If set to “TS2” then only the time will be shown. If set to “ES” then both day and time will be shown.
If you tap UP or DOWN while on this screen you will be able to adjust your time and day settings. The display initially show just the time and it will flash rapidly to indicate you are in adjustment mode. Press and hold UP/DOWN to make large adjustments.
Once time is set, tap MENU. If you are in “TS2” SPM mode the control will return to the normal time display. If you are in “ES” SPM mode you will see the day setting flashing rapidly. Use the UP/DOWN buttons to adjust the setting. Tap MENU to return to the day/time display.

Press and Hold MENU Sequence
To reach the menus described in the sections below you need to press and hold the MENU button. As you press and hold the menus will show up in sequence at roughly the number of seconds listed.

ADVANCED
WARNING: You can modify settings in this menu that can make your stove and the thermostat behave unexpectedly. It is highly suggested that you write down current settings before making adjustments, so you can return back to the prior setting if an adjustment does not work the way you expect. This menu is intended for infrequent use and only by those who have a specific need to do so.
To access the ADVANCED menu press and hold the MENU button for 20 seconds, until the screen reads “ADVNCD”, then release the button. Tap the MENU button to move through the various settings. Use the UP and DOWN buttons to make adjustments to settings. Exit via the EXIT item at the end of the menu set, or press and hold MENU for 3 seconds, or wait for 60 seconds to auto-return to the round-robin.

temperature reading calibration. If you notice that the TS2BL’s temperature readings do not match with another thermostat. Tap or press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons to adjust to the value you believe the temperature should read. The temperature will change in the smallest increments the TS2BL is able to work in, but you will notice that it is not a consistent change of 0.1℉. There are roughly 7 UP/DOWN taps per degree Fahrenheit of resolution available.
“DEG    F”| Degree Mode| Use this screen to change the thermostat between degrees Fahrenheit and Celcius.
“SPM SSP”| Setpoint Mode| Use this screen to select the Setpoint Mode the thermostat will use. By default, it is shipped in Single Setpoint Mode (SSP). In this mode, there is only one
| | setpoint and it is used all the time. Changes to it carry forward until you change it again. There are also the “TS2” and “ES” settings. These modes are described in the Setpoint Modes and TS2 & TS2ES Compatibility section of this manual.
“TBRN OFF”| Tri-burn Mode| Use this screen to adjust the control to operate a

“Tri-burn” equipped coal stove. These stoves operate both the stoker and convection air blower with a single motor. When set to “ON” this stoker output will operate using a hybrid speed controlled and time-proportioned scheme, in order to supply more consistent combustion air at lower feed rates. In “OFF” mode (default) the stoker output is time-proportioned only and combustion air blower is always running to provide for the most efficient burn. Please read the Tri-burner Stoves section for more information on this setting and using the Coal-trol Digital system with Tri-burner style stoves.

“CMT S ” “CMT SFV”| Control Module Type| Use this screen to set what kind of control module you have connected to the thermostat. The options include: “S” – Stoker (default and used by 95% of users)
“SF” – Stoker & Aux Fan (used if you had an optional Aux-Fan “dry contact” output added to your system). “SV” – Stoker & Vent (used in some OEM configurations that include an integrated motorized exhaust vent) “SFV” – Stoker, Aux-Fan, Vent“D” – Dual Stoker (used on select OEM configurations that feature thermostat controlled dual stoker feeder selection and control)

For more details on this setting please look below in the Control Module Type section.

“SFT  15”| Supplemental Fan Threshold| Use this screen to control the minimum feed rate your Aux-Fan output will engage at. Aux-Fan is most typically used to integrate the Coal-trol system with a central air furnace blower, for whole-house heated air circulation.
This is an optional add-on feature available with Coal-trol control modules. This will only be shown if you are using a CMT setting of “SF” or “SFV”.
“CFMN  18”| Convection Fan Minimum| Use this screen to set the slowest speed your convection fan will turn at. In other words, the speed the motor will turn when a manual fan speed of 1% is used. This is useful if you have a “sticky” convection blower fan, that hums but doesn’t turn at minimum speed (increase the setting). Likewise, if you have a very easy-to-turn convection blower, you may find you can lower this setting to get an even slower minimum fan speed.
| | In general you should not adjust this setting unless there is a problem with the fan turning at low speed settings, or you are guided to adjust it during a customer service contact.
Use with care, it is possible to set this low enough that your convection blower will not turn, but will generate heat in the motor.You should always use a CFMN setting that reliably turns the motor.On prior versions of the Coal-trol thermostat, this was called the CFM setting.
When on this screen the convection fan control will be overridden and it will be run at the speed associated with the setting value.
This number should not be thought of as a percentage. It is an electrical timing control value. The lower it is, the less power will be applied at minimum fan speed settings.
“CFMX  80”| Convection Fan Maximum| Use this screen to set the maximum speed your convection fan will turn at. In other words, the speed the motor will turn when a manual fan speed of 99% is used. This is useful if your fan is noisy at maximum speed and you wish to set a quieter maximum speed setting.
This is a new setting that wasn’t available on prior Coal-trol thermostats.
Like CFMN, when on this setting screen the convection fan control will be overridden and the fan will be run at the speed associated with the setting value.
Also like with CFMN, this number should not be thought of as a percentage. It is an electrical timing control value. The higher it is, the more power is applied to the motor at maximum fan speed settings.
“PVM 15”| Power Vent Minimum| Use this to control how fast the power vent motor spins at a PVS setting of 1%. This is only shown when CMT is set to “SV” or “SFV”.
It is very similar to the CFMN setting, but applied to the vent motor output, if your control module is so equipped.
All the same warning apply about modifying the setting.
It is used to overcome “sticky” vent motors to ensure reliable fan turning at minimum speed.
| | When on this setting the vent output will be overridden to run at the speed associated with the setting value. And this should not be thought of as a percentage, rather it is an electrical timing value.
“PLM  ON“| Power Loss Modes| This defaults to “ON”. Use this to disable the power outage recovery modes of “PWR IDLE” and “PWR OUT”. Total power loss, which depletes the reserve power of the thermostat, will still still start up in “PWR LOSS” mode where you have to acknowledge the screen to get into the running mode. All other power outage scenarios will restart into a running state without waiting for a user MENU button acknowledgement.
“MF  60”| Manual Fan Safe Threshold| This and the following setting, MT, are used together to control under what conditions the thermostat will take fan speed control back to AUTO FAN when the user has it set for a manual fan speed.
“MT  60”| Manual Fan Safe Time|
“EXIT”| Exit the ADVANCED menu| Tap the UP or DOWN button on this menu screen to exit the ADVANCED menu back to the round-robin screens. Tapping MENU on this screen will cycle you back to the top of the ADVANCED menu screen set.

RESET
WARNING! Activating this action item is irreversible. Use only as a last resort.
The RESET entry is an action item. To reach it press and hold MENU for 30 seconds, then tap UP or DOWN to activate it. Doing so will factory reset your thermostat to default settings and then reinitialize the control as if it had been powered up for the first time.
All settings modifications that you have made since first powering it up will be lost. If your stove dealer or manufacturer modified the default settings, those settings will also be reset to Automation Correct factory settings.
This is useful if you get into a configuration that isn’t working and you don’t know how to fix it. This should be a last resort step. Please contact Automation Correct customer support before taking this action.

Advanced Topics

Control Module Type
Both through optional customized orders of our standard control module and the various stove OEM manufacturer configurations that we support for different styles of stove equipment, we have supported a variety of features over the years. In the prior TS2 and TS2ES thermostats, these different kinds of systems have required purpose specific firmware to be loaded that’s intended for use with those system configurations. With the TS2BL, this is no longer the case. The new thermostat supports many of these configurations with a single firmware and an ADVANCED menu setting called “CMT”, or Control Module Type.
By adjusting CMT to match your control module’s supported features, you or your stove dealer can take advantage of all the enhanced functionality your Coal-trol Digital system and heating equipment have to offer.
The options supported by the CMT setting are:

• “S” – Single Stoker: This is the default setting and applies to the vast majority of users and stove OEM configurations. This supports the standard single stoker and combustion blower (both Tri-burn single motor setups and the more standard 2 motor setups), and a speed controlled convection blower.
• “SF” – Single Stoker & Aux-Fan: Select this if your control module has the “dry contact” option as an add-on, which is typically used to integrate with and control a central air furnace fan. Selecting this option will cause the “SFT” setting in the ADVANCED menu to become available. The “SUPP FAN” output in the TEST mode will also be enabled.
• “SV” – Single Stoker & Vent: Select this if your control module has support for a speed controlled power vent output. Control modules of this type are only available to stove OEMs and only used on specific models. When selected, both the “PVS” setting in the SETUP menu and the “PVM” setting in ADVANCED menu will become available. The “VENT” output in the TEST mode will also be enabled.
• “SFV” – Single Stoker & Aux-Fan & Vent: Select this if your control module has support for both an Aux-Fan dry contact output and a speed controlled power vent. Control modules of this type are only available to stove OEMs and only used on specific models. This setting combines the effect of “SF” and “SV” settings of CMT. When selected, the “PVS” setting in the SETUP menu and the “SFT” and “PVM” settings in the ADVANCED menu will become available. The “SUPP FAN” and “VENT” outputs in the TEST mode will be enabled.
• “D” – Dual Stoker: Select this if your control module has support for independent control of the motors on each stoker. There will be two individual stoker motor output receptacles available on your control module (not plugged into a Y-Splitter cord) and two combustion blower motor receptacles, as well. Control modules of this type are only available to stove OEMs and only on specific models of dual stoker furnaces. Selecting this will make the “FDR” setting in the SETUP menu available. It will also modify the TEST mode sequence to: “ALL OFF”, “COMB 1”, “STOKER 1”, “COMB 2”, “STOKR 12”, “CONVCTN”, “ALL ON”. COMB 2 and STOKR 12 phases will only be included in the cycle if the FDR setting in SETUP is set to 2.

In general almost all users have a Single Stoker “S” type of control module. These have a stoker, combustion, and convection plug/receptacle on or attached to the control module. They may also include an “Igniter” output, that was for a now discontinued feature. Those that optionally purchased an Aux-Fan dry contact set should generally select the “SF” setting. If the Coal-trol Digital control module has a vent plug/receptacle on it, you should use the “SV” setting. Select “SFV” if you have both dry contact outputs and a vent output on or attached to the Coal-trol Digital control module. Lastly, if your control module has two independent outputs for two stokers, and another two for two combustion blowers, and one for a convection blower (or convection blower pair, supported by a Y-Splitter cord) select setting “D” for Dual Stoker.
If you happen to have one of our early “Advanced” system control modules that are labeled either “CM1”, “PB1”, or “CM1-4” that had five three prong power receptacles, as well as two 2 prong receptacles for safety switch support, and a aux-fan dry contact set on the side: Thank you for your early support of our products! Your control module supports the features of “SF” for the CMT setting. However, if you were using your original thermostat still, not an upgrade to the TS2 or TS2ES, you should contact Automation Correct customer support. Particularly if you hear a buzzing or chattering sound from the control module while running it with the TS2BL. Your control module may need a modification to be fully compatible with the TS2BL control.
If you are unsure of what kind of control module you have and have reason to believe your control module may support options besides those offered by the “S” setting, please consult the documents included with your stove, contact your stove dealer or manufacturer, or contact Automation Correct customer support.

Dual Stoker
In addition to the details provided in the Control Module Type, SETUP, and ADVANCED sections above, please consult the original documentation that came with your stove. If you have questions or are having a problem using the dual stoker features with your stove with the TS2BL, please contact your stove dealer, stove manufacturer, or Automation Correct customer support for one-on- one support.

Tri-burner Stoves
Tri-burner style stoves use a single motor to drive both the stoker mechanism and the combustion air blower, instead of the more common arrangement of a motor driving the stoker and a separate motor turning the combustion blower. The Coal-trol Digital system does run these stoves (see TBRN setting in the ADVANCED menu) and we do have a recommended mechanical setup to go along with our recommended IDLE and MAX settings in the Recommended Settings by Stove Brand section. The nature of the single motor driving both stoker and combustion air results in a less efficient low fire system than what is capable with a 2 motor arrangement. Tri-burn stoves have limited turn down potential at IDLE. While the Coal-trol Digital can and does run Tri-burner style stoves and furnaces, we do recommend people convert to two separate motors to drive the stoker and combustion blower to get the best range of low fire and high fire performance from your stove with the Coal-trol Digital system.
There are some coal fired heating appliances that, similarly to Tri-burn stokers, also utilize one motor to drive both stoker and combustion air, but they also employ a solenoid to disengage the stoker linkage from the motor. This allows the motor to run continuously to drive combustion air, while the stoker is switched on and off as needed. Unfortunately, the Coal-Trol Digital control system is not designed to work with this style of stoker system, at least not without modifications. If you have one of these stoker systems, please contact Automation Correct for support.

Manual Fan Safe Threshold and Time Settings
When using the Manual Fan speed setting, Man Fan, the thermostat is still regulating room temperature. If the manual fan setting is a slower speed the stove body may become quite hot if the fire is or is commanded to become large (FR > 50%). To prevent this overheating situation the TS2BL will automatically change from Man Fan setting to Automatic Fan control.
Two settings, MF (Manual Fan Safe Threshold) and MT (Manual Fan Safe Time) act together to provide a safety against running the stove at a consistently high feed rate for an extended period of time while the control is in manual fan mode.
Most people use Manual Fan mode to run the convection fan at a fixed, slow speed, to keep a constant light, low noise circulation in the room the stove is in. We discovered that some lower cost, lower quality stoves were experiencing damage to their convection fans, particularly units with the fans mounted relatively high on the back of the stove body. The damage was the result of overheating due to users running low manual fan speeds while the stoves were running on the higher end of the feed rate capability of their stove. The fans were not moving enough air to cool themselves nor the stove body.
To combat this problem the Manual Fan Safe system was added to the Coal-trol Digital thermostats several years ago.
These two values, MF and MT (located in the ADVANCED menu), when multiplied together cannot exceed a value of 3600. If you increase one of the two so that the value of 3600 would be exceeded, the control will automatically reduce the other setting to maintain a maximum multiplied value of 3600. Why 3600? Because the two numbers when multiplied in effect represent a BTU type of value. Through trial and error we arrived at 60 minutes running at a FR of 60 being a sweet spot for total heat generation before this fan overheating effect became a concern. This 3600 value serves as a target total heat output value we want to protect against exceeding without automatic fan control kicking in to run the fan at an appropriate speed to get rid of the heat in the stove body and convection fan motor.
The way these values are used is that if feed rate is over the MF setting, the control will start a timer. As long as the FR remains over the MF setting and manual fan speed is still in use, the timer will continue until it reaches MT minutes. At that point AUTO FAN mode will be reinstated. Any dip in feed rate below MF or the user setting fan control back to AUTO FAN will result in the timer being reset.
TIP: If you like to run a constant low fan speed, even when the stove is at IDLE feed rate, instead of using manual fan speed, try this: set a CFT setting of 0 (SETUP Menu) and then adjust the CFMN setting (ADVANCED menu) to suit your desired, always-on low fan speed. And use the new CFMX setting (also in ADVANCED menu) to set a top fan speed that you can live with and that will move enough heat off of the stove in a high feed rate condition. Then run the fan speed in AUTO FAN. This will allow the control to ramp up when needed to meet a high FR condition, but keep a constant low fan speed going when in lower feed rate, and set a fan speed range that is acceptable to you from both a noise level and safety perspective.

Where did HLF go?
HLF (Heat Loss Factor) in the TS2 and TS2ES thermostats was a good idea that was poorly implemented. We’ve discontinued it for now while we work on an alternative setting that will allow users to adjust the tuning of the control to better match some particular installation needs.
We’ve found that most people are able to address the problem HLF was intended to solve by using a combination of increasing air circulation, increasing the IDLE setting, or mounting their thermostat in a better location.
If you find you are having trouble with far too sluggish response, please contact our support through phone or email so we can help troubleshoot your situation and try to get you satisfied with your Coal-trol Digital coal stove control system.

The Temperature Keeps Overshooting Way Above Setpoint
Some Coal-trol users run into a problem where the temperature in the house or room overshoots significantly past the setpoint. This can happen due to external heating (dramatic outside temperature swing upward, swings caused by the sun and the particular construction of the house, etc.) or due to a setpoint change upward and the space being heated much more quickly than the control’s tuning is set up to expect.
Like with the HLF setting discussed above, we are working on a new setting that will help address the need for faster response to externally generated temperature swings and situations where upward setpoint changes result in large overshoots past setpoint. For now, our recommendations are to make sure your thermostat has good air circulation around it. If it is in an alcove or otherwise insulated from registering temperature changes in the dwelling, it will be slower than normal to react. You can also try adjusting your MAX setting down. The better insulated and air sealed the house is (particularly the case in newer construction or recently updated houses) the faster the air space will heat up. Similarly, if you “oversized” your coal stove for your dwelling size or average heat loss you may encounter the same situation of overshooting target temperature setting. In both cases lowering your MAX setting, even going so far as to cut it in half, can dramatically help the problem. Sometimes this adjustment is seasonal, where in the Fall and early Spring you may need to use a lower MAX setting, but as colder days set in you can adjust it upward toward the original setting.

Generator and Off-Grid Power
Most Coal-trol Digital users operating with generator and other off-grid power supply options have success. The power supply should be a pure sine-wave, 60 hz, 120VAC type. Modified sine-wave and other power supply distortions can cause problems for both the time keeping circuit and the speed control circuits of the Coal-trol Digital system. Even with non-inverter, pure-sine wave generators, if the generator has dirty or worn brushes or other
mechanical/electrical issues, the output can be quite “noisy” and result in erratic behavior by the Coal-trol Digital system. Because of the wide variability in power output type and condition of the output power from non- grid sources, we offer no guarantees as to how the Coal-trol will function with these alternative power sources. If you encounter a problem using the Coal-trol with an alternative power generation system, please contact customer support for assistance.

Boiler, Biomass, Gasifier, and Other Heating Appliance Types
The Coal-trol Digital is designed to run forced air automatic stover stoves and furnaces. We do offer controls to manufacturers for other types of heating appliances, such as corn and pellet furnaces, biomass and coal boilers, and wood gasifier appliances, but we do not currently sell these control types directly to end users. These are only sold to manufacturers for use as an OEM component.
There is too much variation in installation enclosures, motor types, feed system types, etc. to make a good, low cost, general purpose control that most users would be able to install and configure properly.
If you’re interested in such a control to retro-fit to your heating appliance, please let us know. If there’s enough interest to support making a product it may just happen.

Troubleshooting Your Stove

The Coal-trol Digital System is only the command and control component of a properly operating appliance.
