The Cyclomatic Pellet Transport and Filtering System has been designed to allow for the effortless
re-fuelling of the E-Compact range of wood pellet boilers. It offers the Customer the flexibility to
decide on how to plan the installation of a wood pellet heating systems without the usual
constraints associated with automatic auger feed systems and also deciding on where to locate
ones fuel store. The Cyclomatic system also utilises dust filtering technology which captures the
dust in the airflow during transportation and does not recycle the dust back into the fuel store
which can lead to issues with blocked augers and heavy duty electrical loads on both auger motors
and vacuum motors. The Cyclomatic is an essential accessory to our next generation renewable
heating products packed with cutting edge technology which makes it one of the most advanced
automated wood pellet heating systems on the market today.
In order to fully understand the operation of the Cyclomatic system let us explain the main system
components.
• (A) Cyclomatic unit – This contains the control system, vacuum motor and dust filter.
• (B) Cyclone- the cyclone separates the pellets from the airflow and once the vacuum
cycle is complete the pellets exit the cyclone into the boiler hopper.
• (C) Auger – An auger, whether it is a standard auger from a fabric silo or a floor track
system, is used to draw a consistent quantity of fuel to the vacuum suction pipe where
the pellets are transported to the cyclone on the boiler via special earth bonded suction
hoses.

Basic Operating Principles - The purpose of the Cyclomatic system is to draw wood pellets from a
remote fuel store and deposit the pellets into the boiler hopper as required. When the level of fuel
in the boiler hopper falls below sensor 1 the vacuum cycle is initiated. The vacuum motor P2 is
activated. The auger P3 draws pellets into a vacuum suction pipe, which is connected to the suction
hose, and from here the pellets are transported into a separating cyclone where the they are
collected until the vacuum motor stops. The pellets are then released into the boiler hopper. The
cycles are repeated until enough of batches are transferred until the pellets reach Sensor 2. At the
start of each cycle sensor 3 indicates that the cyclone door is closed so that the pellets can be
transported in suspension. At the end of each cycle the cyclone door opens allowing the pellet to
fall into the boiler hopper. At this stage also the filter cleaning motor P4 is activated allowing the
cleaning paddles in the filter to clean the surface of the filter membrane.
Detailed Operation
Hopper Loading
• If the pellets in the boiler hopper fall below the low level sensor S1 the Loading Cycle Starts.
• The pellets must reach sensor S1 within a period of time (TIM000)
• Once sensor 1 is reached the cycles continue until the pellets reach the high level sensor 2.
• Once sensor 2 is reached the loading cycles stop until the pellets drop below sensor 1 again.
Loading Cycle
Each cycle includes the loading of the boiler hopper from the bulk hopper via the cyclone. This is
done in batches.
• Vacuum motor (P2) starts.
• TIM002 verifies the closing of the flap door (sensor 3)
• At the end of TIM002 if sensor 3 is closed the auger motor (P3) is activated
• TIM003 counts the time to load the cyclone. Once TIM003 is reached the auger motor P3 is de-
activated and the vacuum motor continues to run for a time TIM004
to allow for the emptying of the vacuum hose.
• Once TIM004 is reached the vacuum motor P2 is de-activated. TIM005 is a time delay to allow the
cyclone to empty and start the next cycle.

2. INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
Time spent carefully planning the transportation route from the bulk fuel store to the boiler and
the location of the Cyclomatic at an early stage will overcome any un-foreseen difficulties during
the installation and assembly of the various components. Below are guidelines on how a successful
installation may be achieved:
Min. bend radius 600 mm
Max .2000mm
Ensure the hose is securly clipped to walls and ceiling to avoid sagging in areas of high ambient
temperatures such as plantrooms
There are various types and forms of pellet storage from Purpose Built Silo Systems to
Underground Silos to Home Built Storage Rooms. The storage solutions illustrated below can all be
used in conjunction with the Cyclomatic system.

(base raises as the silo empties)
Home built silos or storage rooms are a good alternative where a bespoke solutions is required. The
following illustrations may be used as a guide when planning and building a home built storage
room.

The Cyclomatic unit can be either wall mounted, using the fixing holes provided in the back frame,
a wall bracket or a floor bracket can also be supplied to allow the unit to be free standing. In all
cases the Cyclomatic unit must be secured to prevent movement during operation. The
Cyclomatic unit must be within 2000mm of the cyclone to achieve maximum performance.
The cyclone lid is designed to be easily fitted by replacing the existing hopper lid.
• Disconnect the gas strut from the hopper lid and allow the strut to extend fully.
Exercise caution as the gas strut is pressurised and may cause injury
• Remove the hinge nuts holding on the lid and remove the lid from the boiler.
• Fit the lid containing the cyclone and secure to the hinge with the four M6 nuts
• Tilt back the lid and refit the gas strut.
• Fit the round Inductive Sensor (sensor 3) to the cyclone unit leaving a 3mm gap
between the sensor tip and door when fully closed.
• Fit the lower level sensor (sensor 1) approx 25mm above the boiler sensor.
• Fit the upper level sensor (sensor 2) 250mm above sensor 1.
• Fit the sensor socket to the lid using the clip flange and screws provided.

The main components in the Cyclomatic unit are pre-wired. The only electrical connection to be
made on site are the mains power supply into the isolation switch and the connection of the auger
at the bulk fuel store. The power supply shall be 230V 60Hz fused with an 13A circuit breaker.

Augers should be fitted as per manufacturers instructions. Always make sure that the auger is fully
secured to prevent movement while operating. Always check before filling the bulk fuel store with
fuel that the auger rotation is correct. Refer to manufacturers instructions for correct rotation and
safe electrical connections.
Always make sure that only anti-static hoses is used and that an earth bonding wire is inbuilt into
the hose.
It is essential that the earth wire in the vacuum hose is properly bonding both at the
bulk store auger, the cyclone and at the Cyclomatic unit. This will prevent static
electricity and reduce the risk of dust explosions.
Once the auger is fixed in position and all the vacuum hoses are connected and bonded and the
electrical connections are complete, a test of the inputs and outputs (I/O’s) can be undertaken
through the Cyclomatic controller.
• Press the SET button on the controller to enter the USER MENU.
• Scroll down to INSTALLER MENU and press SET.
• Enter the Password (provided by Wood Energy Solutions)
• Select OUTPUTS TEST and press SET.
• Select which output you wish to test from the list below and press SET.
• Press SET and select ON and press SET again. The output should activate.
• Press ESC to stop the Output Test.
• Repeat the procedure for the next Output.
• Once the outputs have been checked and are working correctly the inputs can now
verified.
• Hold an object in front of sensor 1 and observe if the pellet line move between 1 and 2.
• With sensor 1 still covered cover sensor 2 and observe if the pellet line moves above
sensor 2.
• Close the cyclone door and observe if the graphic at sensor 3 indicates the closing of the
door.
• Closing the cylclone door without the vacuum motor on will cause an error so press ESC
to clear the error.
If the I/O tests are successful fuel can now be added to the bulk fuel store.. The Cyclomatic unit
can now be turned ON by holding key F1 for three seconds. The vacuum motor should
immediately start and ON should indicate on the display. The graphic will indicate which I/O’s are
operational and their status.

Observe to make sure that the vacuum cycle is being followed according to the flow chart. Wait
until all the cycles have finished to fill the boiler hopper with pellets above sensor 2. The vacuum
cycle to re-start once the pellet level falls below sensor 1.
In the event that the vacuum cycle stops and alarm A03 is display this indicates that the cyclone
door has not been able to close due to an obstruction by pellets and sensor 2 has not been
reached. The height of sensor 2 may have to be adjusted in order to avoid an obstruction in
future. After adjustment repeat the cycles until sensor 2 is covered without alarm. The system is
now fully calibrated and ready for use.
The Cyclomatic system contains a diagnostic system that will alert the Customer in the event of a
system fault. The error codes and their explanation are listed below.
If a fault occurs an exclamation symbol will appear on the display. By pressing the key the
alarm code in the form A0x will be displayed. Once the issue has been rectified the alarm can be
cleared by pressing the ESC key and the system will restart.
