St Croix Digital Control Board – How to Program & Setup
The Newest Style St Croix Digital Control Board replaces the previous digital control boards used on both freestanding and insert pellet and corn stove models.
The SCF-050 and Revolution Furnace models will use a different control board. If you have an early St Croix with a rotary turn knob and rocker switch control board, you will require a retro-fit control board kit when replacing your control board. There are different kits based on the model and serial number. We do carry all St Croix control boards and kits; as with all of our parts we guarantee the lowest price with the fastest shipping. If you require assistance please contact us.
If you are replacing an existing digital control board in a freestanding or insert model St Croix, the programming of the board will need to be completed after it has been installed. The program will vary depending on your model and fuel type used.
The video here is designed to be a helpful visual guide as you set the programming on your new digital control board. If you need to purchase a new St Croix Digital Control Board Please Click Here.
hi i would like to know how to change the control board so instead of it running for an hour with no call for heat only run it for 30 min is there any way to do this ???
Thanks for contacting us. I am not aware of anyway to adjust the programming of the circuit board to shorten the amount of time the unit is in the pilot fire in the smart stat operating mode. Here’s an additional video on the operation of the St. Croix board. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X4VpjN6Bq9s&t=16s. Best I can say here is to manually shut the unit off if your room isn’t calling for heat after that 30 minute mark.
ok in that vid guy talks about fan trim works 2 different ways i have the scf revolution 2008 model do i need the upgraded one that hes talking about to change main blower speed (not combustion blower)
Thanks for contacting us Rick. The SCF-050 will have it’s own control board and the Revolution Furnace will have it’s own control board. They operate slightly different than the FS and insert control board in our videos. Both of these boards will have the fan trim buttons. The fan trim allows a high fan over ride option; your overall blower CFM is controlled/programmed with your heat settings for best efficiency. Here are links to each of the control boards, any questions let us know.

Thanks,
I want to start off by saying thank you for doing this video, it has me closer to an answer to my problem than any of the other online or manufacturer tools.
I purchased a used SCF 050 this year. The previous owner had replaced the control board last year, but I would swear this unit is stuck in pilot mode, no matter what I do. This theory is further bolstered by the fact that a continuous 30+ hour burn has only consumed 1.5 bags of pits. This is my third St. Croix, but my first “furnace”, so I am still sorting it out.
I took a look at the 2 links you provided and the board you show for the 050 does not have a pig tail, but the one for the revolution does. In the video your demo board has the small pig tail and you referenced that it replaces all boards, but the comment appears to correct that. My new board has the pig tail. I have inferred from your response to the prior question posting the links that I probably have the wrong board. Any clarification would be really helpful.
Thank you again for the video.
Thanks for contacting us, glad the videos provided some assistance. Here are all of the videos we currently have on St. Croix and we’ll be adding more in the future. https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL8nTwC36jCbmFtyALgeE5MljznDFrpcFX
The SCF-050 will have a control board of it’s own. The Revolution furnace will have it’s own board, and most of the FS and Insert models will use the board shown in the videos here. The board shown in our videos is not the control board for the SCF-050. Here is a link to the OEM SCF-050 control board. https://pellethead.com/product/st-croix-scf-050-furnace-circuit-control-board-oem/ As you will see there is no pigtail on this replacement board. Please let us know if you have any other questions or need further assistance. Happy to get you taken care of.
Thanks,
Trying to see what program my new control board is set to go through process of pressing auger and the 2 fan trim buttons all 5 red led lights are blinking release. And try again and only the five stay blinking any suggestions
Thanks for contacting us John. There’s many little things that come into play here. Stove off, plugged in, toggle on manual. Let’s follow the steps closely and give it another try. Watch the video here starting at the 3:50 mark and let us know. Happy to help. https://youtu.be/ljpBV4zUxIE?si=vtXnXVOfOKYEhYPL&t=230
Thanks,
After your answer to my above question, I was sure I had the wrong board for my SCF 050 so I ordered the one from the link you provided. I installed it when it arrived, programmed it to cherry pits, and lit the stove. Glad to say it works like a St. Croix should now and is kicking out the BTU’s. Thank you for all your help and getting me to a solution.
