Advanced 12 Vdc Burner Control
Description / Applications
The Beckett GeniSysTM 12V Advanced Burner Control is a
12 Vdc primary safety control for oil burners used in special
applications including, but not limited to, water heaters,
pressure washers, crack sealers and portable heaters having
fi ring rates less than 5.5 GPH. The GeniSys
with a suitable cad cell fl ame sensor to control the oil burner
motor, igniter, and optional solenoid valve. It has 12 volt enable
input compatible with mechanical and high limit switches. It
can provide interrupted or intermittent duty ignition, and it has
a 15 second lockout time on fl ame failure.

WARNING
Maintain Specifi ed
Voltage
A low or erratic power supply could result
in impaired burner operation, severe
delayed ignition or an explosion inside the
heat exchanger resulting in a burn and/or
asphyxiation hazard.
Beckett DC Burners require a continuous
•
supply of 11 to 16 volts DC (at 15 amps for
Model ADC or 25 amps for Model SDC),
measured at the burner during operation.
Consult other DC burner manufacturers’
•
specifi cations for the correct voltage range.
Special Note: The 7556 Control shuts the
•
burner down if the input voltage drops to
a sustained level of 10 volts DC, or below.
Operation resumes at a sustained input
voltage of 11 volts DC, or above.
An automotive or small engine charging
•
system that is capable of supplying the
required continuous voltage/amperage is
recommended with certain road equipment,
such as asphalt hot patchers and similar
applications.
This is especially true while maintaining
•
nominal load temperatures during idle periods.

Installation/Operation/Maintenance
WARNING
Incorrect installation or misuse of this control
could result in severe personal injury or death
from heavy smoke, explosion or fi re.
Please read and understand the manual supplied
with this control. This control must be installed,
adjusted and put into operation only by a qualifi ed
individual or service agency that is:
•
Licensed or certifi ed to install and provide
technical service to oil heating systems.
•
Experienced with all applicable codes,
standards and ordinances.
•
Responsible for the correct installation and
commission of this equipment.
Skilled in the adjustment of oil burners using
•
combustion test instruments.
The installation must strictly comply with all
applicable codes, authorities having jurisdiction and
the latest revision of the National Fire Protection
Association Standard for the Installation of OilBurning Equipment, NFPA 31 (or CSA-B139 and
CSA-B140 in Canada) for stationary equipment.
Regulation by these authorities take precedence
over the general instructions provided in this
installation manual.
Professional
Service Required.
WARNING
All heating equipment must have
HIGH LIMIT controls to protect
against excessive temperature
interrupt electrical power and shutdown the
burner, if operating or safety controls fail and
cause a runaway condition.

and/or pressure. The control must
Follow the equipment manufacturer’s wiring
diagrams and note all required safety controls.
Typical safety controls include high
temperature or pressure limits, low water
cutoffs, pressure relief valves and blocked fl ue
sensing switches.
Verify all limit and safety controls are installed
and functioning correctly, as specifi ed by the
manufacturer, applicable safety standards,
codes and all authorities having jurisdiction.
Insure that the equipment is free of oil and oil
vapor before starting or resetting the burner.
Do not wire power directly to the burner
motor. Only wire the motor as shown in
Figure 2. If instant burner heat is required
by the application, purchase or program
a control with a long motor-off delay time,
which will ensure instant heat if a new call
for heat is received within the motor-off
delay time.
Explosion, Fire,
Scald, & Burn
Hazard
WARNING
Electrical shock can cause severe personal
injury or death.
•
Disconnect ALL electrical power to the
equipment/burner circuit before installing or
servicing this control.
Provide ground wiring to the equipment, burner
•
and metal control mounting box.
Perform all wiring in compliance with the
•
National Electrical Code ANSI/NFPA 70
(Canada CSA C22.1).

Mounting:
Mount the control on a 4” x 4” junction box
on the burner, or inside the equipment
cabinet. In replacement applications,
mount the new control in the same location
as the old control. In some replacement
applications, it may be necessary to rotate
the control on the 4” x 4” box for best fi t.
Mounting orientation: any orientation is
acceptable with the exception of up-side
down.
