1. GENERAL INFORMATION
Read carefully the user’s manual before activating burner.
PellasX burner requires installation according to this user’s manual. Following advice included in
this USER’S MANUAL will guarantee safe functioning and installation of the device. All doubts and
ambiguities as to condition of equipment or given functions of parts of burner should be reported
to the seller in order to get explanations.
Installation of burner should be carried out by a service person who is authorized and trained by
the producer.
Improper installation may lead to loss of guaratee.
Every user of heating boiler devices should know and comply to all local rules of law.
Particularly before activating a heating installation in accordance with construction
law. The seller does not bear any responsibility for burner installation which is not in
accordance to valid local regulations and for lack of required protocols and permissions.
1.1. Transportation
PellasX burner (with mounting flange and a feeder) is shipped in wooden crate on a 1200x800mm
pallet. Electronic parts (controller and sensors) are packed in separate box. The device must be
carried in packaging, according to markings on the parcels. During transportation it should be
protected against unfavorable environmental conditions (snow, rain, dust) and it should not be
exposed to shocks, hits and the packaging should be protected against damages.
Loading and unloading must be carried out in a way which does not expose the devices to shocks.
Improper loading, unloading and transportation (throwing, rapture sliding, crushing with other
heavy goods) can be a cause of damage to the product.
In case of damage of the packaging or product, the device should be subjected to control in
operation. In case when improper work of a fan or feeder motor is observed (loud work, rubbing),
possibly other faults, e.g. electronics (vanishing of characters on display of LCD display) the burner
should be sent to the service team in order to carry a reparation.
Consignments delivered by forwarding companies should be checked in presence of the courier
when the goods are delivered. In case of any incompatibilities a protocol should be prepared.
1.2. Storage
PellasX burner should be stored in environmental conditions in accordance to following
guidelines:
•Dry and draughty rooms, free from substances like gases, corrosive liquids and fumes, which
are harmful to burner. Burner and feeder can not be stored in rooms where artificial
fertilizers, chlorinated lime, acids, chemicals etc. are kept.
•Best storage temperature +5OC to +40OC. Relative humidity should not exceed 70%.
•During storage, the device can not have direct contact with the floor. PellasX burner
until final assembly should be kept in carton and on a pallet. Burners can be stored and
transported in three layers maximum.
•In case when a burner is stored for over 2 years from its production date or in
environmental conditions not similar to above description, before installing it should be
subject to activating - test by an authorized service person. To testify proper quality and
safety of a burner, the above inspection will be documented by service person in the
guarantee card.

1.3. Control of burner’s delivery
Before commencing assembly activities check the following: condition of packaging, make sure
that there are no visible damages and if delivery is complete and not damaged. Possible
reservations and problems should be reported to the supplier immediately. He is responsible for
insuring the merchandise.
1.4. Free space around burner
According to local safety regulations referring to heating devices, provide free space around burner,
at least 1 m around boiler and space for service of burner.
The boiler room should be clean, dry and well aired. Airflow to the boiler should be at least equal
to exhaust of fumes through the chimney.
ATTENTION!
Controller and all devices cooperating with it should be installed on the boiler or its
area, in places where the temperature is the lowest (below 50⁰C). Electronic devices
operating at high temperature may be damaged or not work properly.
2. PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
PellasX is a brand under which since 2001 burners for biomass have been produced. These products
are characterized with stepless regulation of settings allowing for usage in all types of ovens or
heating boilers. In case when exchange of burner is done in an old boiler, then it is not necessary
to make changes in existing installation. Firing up, sustaining fire after reaching preset
temperature and feeding fuel is automatic.
The uniqueness of the M solution is the number of the design improvements used as compared to
the burners available previously with the movable combustion chamber. This makes the operation
of M line burners reliable and free of technical problems. Significant changes in the technological
parameters and the components used have been introduced which makes the economic
attractiveness and the environmental usability of the technology considerably better with the burner
being one of the most modern solutions in the world.
Movable combustion chamber allows the automatic and constant removal of ash being the residue
of the combustion process to ensure high stability of the combustion itself. With such a solution not
just the pellets, but also oat* or fruit stones are high-efficiency fuels. The chamber structure
ensures higher durability of the bearings and facilitates the quick bearings replacement.
ATTENTION!
In order to minimize the risk of fire
is not allowed to store flammable
materials near the burner (minimal
length 1m).

The unique solutions employed in the M line burners include:
•Mesh Furnace System – the system of modular heat-resistant plates forming the furnace
ensures the self-cleaning process through the reciprocating movement of the grate. It is
possible to adjust the stroke depending on the type of fuel burned;
•Hybrid Drive System– Fuel and air are supplied in a synchronized manner i.e. the fuel is
supplied according to the air supply rate and vice versa;
•Cell Feeder System – provides precize dose of fuel at a given burner power. Moreover
provides protection against flashback thanks to the three-section feedeng chamber;
•Overpressure Combustion System –Air is supplied into the combustion chamber at the
central point to increase the flame spin and reduce the backfire.
•Lambda probe –available for all units to improve the combustion process and reduce the
fuel consumption.
PellasX burners are used in households, bakeries, hotels, public utilities, schools and production
halls or warehouses. They are made of heat-resistant acid-proof steel and are equipped in best
quality parts available on the market. The product which you have at your disposal is the highest
quality, most technologically advanced burner available on the market.
*Using oat fuel reduce burner power and result in increased fuel consumption (up to 50%) and
increased ash production.
2.1. Construction of M350 and M500 burners.
Pic. 1. Construction of M350 and M500 burners.
The burner is composed of the following subassemblies:
•combustion chamber consisting of inCrox cast steel grate (1) and ceramic insulation (2);
•blower assembly with steel cover (3) and X.PLUG socket (4) where the controller plug is to
be connected;
•Blowing system (5) located between the blower assembly and the combustion chamber, with
stub pipe (6) where polyurethane pipe from external feeder is to be connected.
The cover of burner does not have any protruding nor sharp parts. It does not threat one’s health.
The temperature of burner’s cover during operation should not exceed 60ºC with exception of places
of raised temperature, i.e. bakery.
ATENTION!
The manufacturer reserves the exclusive right
to implement any modifications in construction
of burner and feeder, its software and wiring,
otherwise it is released from any liability to the
buyer.

2.2. Quality requirements for pellets fuel
In table below given requirements as to quality of pellet fuel are shown. Using fuel which complies
to DIN 51731 or DIN PLUS certification or meet the rules of EN-14961-2 norm, extends longevity
of burner. The pellet storage location should be dry and well-ventilated. It is important that prior to
the hopper filling the pellet temperature is equal to the boiler room temperature.
