Idea is working
« on: October 29, 2011, 02:29:30 PM »

On my new Legend, I installed a new light just like the one that came with the unit, only I added a red bulb.  I tied it into the fan motor so when the fan runs, the light comes on. That way  I can look out the window and see how often and how long the fan runs.  My unit is set at 180/170 degrees and today it was 45 degrees outside
 and it took 10 minutes to raise the water temp 10 degrees.

I liked the idea about the light. Just modified mine:

 I HAD A SHAVER THAT I PUT ELECTRICAL OFF/ON SWITCH WITH LIGHTS ON IT. IT WORK REALLY GOOD, SOLD MY PIECE OF crap SHAVER AND BOUGHT ME ACCMEFURANCE AND GOING TO DO THE SAME THING ON IT WHEN I FINE SOME LIGHTS

GREEN-----MEANS POWER ON TO STOVE AT ALL TIMES
YELLOW-- MEANS POWER TO BLOWER
RED--------MEANS BLOWER ON, THAT I CAN SHUT BLOWER OFF TO FILL STOVE SO I WON'T GET A BACK DRAFT WHEN I OPEN THE DOOR, WORKS REALLY WELL

I love the stack light I installed on my stove when I built it.
mine is set up.
blue-power 115 volts
Green- blower is on, damper actuater on
red-  low water level
Clear- blower bypassed ready to load firebox
amber- not yet used
I can see it from the house which is real nice.

Good ideas, I may install a blue light or something on mine to show me when it's on.
