Pre-installation check-
list
Protect Against Stray
Light Lockout
Failure to follow these instructions could cause
loss of burner operation resulting in no heat, an
unplanned process interruption, work stoppage
and the potential for frozen plumbing or other
cold weather property damage.
The control must detect a dark, no-fl ame condition in
y
order to start the burner or it will hold in the stray light
lockout mode.
Shield the burner view window from direct exposure to
y
intense light.
Protect Against Dust and
Moisture
Wet, dusty environments could lead to blocked
air passages, corrosion damage to components,
impaired combustion performance and result in
asphyxiation, explosion or fi re.
This burner is designed for clean, dry installations.
y
Electrical controls are not protected against rain or
y
sprayed water.
Keep the installation clear of dust, dirt, corrosive va-
y
pors, and moisture.
Protective covers and more frequent maintenance may
y
be required.
Adequate Combustion
and Ventilation Air Supply
Required
Failure to provide adequate air supply could se-
riously affect the burner performance and result
in damage to the equipment, asphyxiation, explosion or fi re hazards.
The burner cannot properly burn the fuel if it is not sup-
y
plied with a reliable combustion air source.
Follow the guidelines in the latest editions of the NFPA
y
31 and CSA-B139 regarding providing adequate air for
combustion and ventilation.
Form 6104 BCF10-R06

Page 6
Combustion air supply
The burner requires combustion air and ventilation air for
y
reliable operation. Assure that the building and/or combustion air openings comply with National Fire Protection Standard for Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31. For
appliance/burner units in confi ned spaces, the room must
have an air opening near the top of the room plus one near
the fl oor, each with a free area at least one square inch per
1,000 Btu/hr input of all fuel burning equipment in the
room. For other conditions, refer to NFP A 31 (CSA B1139M91 in Canada).
If there is a risk of the space being under negative pres-
y
sure or of exhaust fans or other devices depleting available
air for combustion and ventilation, the appliance/burner
should be installed in an isolated room provided with outside combustion air.
Clearances
With the burner installed in the appliance, there must be
y
adequate space in front of and on the sides of the burner
to allow access and operation. Verify that the clearance dimensions comply with all local codes and with the appliance manufacturer’s recommendations.
Fuel supply
Nozzle pressure
Correct Nozzle and Flow
Rate Required
Incorrect nozzles and fl ow rates
could result in impaired combustion,
under-fi ring, over-fi ring, sooting,
puff-back of hot gases, smoke and
potential fi re or asphyxiation haz-
ards.
Use only nozzles having the brand, fl ow rate (gph), spray
angle and pattern specifi ed by the appliance manufac-
turer.
Follow the appliance manufacturer’s specifi cations for
the required pump outlet pressure for the nozzle, since
this affects the fl ow rate.
Nozzle manufacturers calibrate nozzle fl ow rates at 100
y
psig.
This burner utilizes pressures higher than 100 psig, so
y
the actual nozzle fl ow rate will be greater than the gph
stamped on the nozzle body. (Example: A 5.00 gph nozzle at 150 psig = 6.12 gph and at 300 psig = 8.66 gph)
The fuel supply piping and tank must provide #1 or #2 fuel
y
oil at pressure or vacuum conditions suitable for the fuel
unit (oil pump) on the burner. Refer to fuel unit literature in
the literature envelope in the burner carton to verify allowable suction pressure.
Oil Supply Pressure Control Required
Damage to the pump, fi lter or other compo-
nent seals could cause possible oil leakage
and potential fi re hazard.
The oil supply inlet pressure to the fuel unit cannot ex-
y
ceed 3 psig.
Do NOT install valves in return line.
y
y
Ensure that a pressure-limiting device is installed in accordance with the latest edition of the NFPA 31.
If fuel supply is level with or higher than fuel unit —
When the fuel unit is not required to lift the oil, the instal-
y
lation is usually suitable for either a one-pipe or two-pipe
oil system. The oil pressure at the inlet of the fuel unit must
not exceed 3 psig.
See Figure 8 for one-pipe fuel supply installations. See
y
Figure 9 for two-pipe fuel supply installations.
If fuel supply is below the fuel unit —
Use a two-pipe oil system when the fuel unit must lift the
y
oil more than 8 feet if burner is equipped with a B fuel unit,
or more than 2 feet if burner is equipped with an H fuel
unit. The return line provided by the two-pipe system is
needed to purge the air from the fuel lines and minimize the
likelihood of air-related problems during operation.

mendation sheet or refer to OEM Spec Guide). Find the
required fi ring rate in the 300 psig column (factory-set fuel
unit pressure). Select the corresponding nozzle from column 1 (Rated gph @ 100 psig).
Verify fi ring rate
y
Refer to appliance manufacturer’s instructions (if available)
for fi ring rate and nozzle selection. Otherwise, the maximum
recommended fi ring rate for the burner depends on the
length of the fi ring chamber and the distance from the
burner center to the chamber fl oor. Verify that the chamber
dimensions are at least as large as the minimum values
given in Figure 1. If the appliance dimensions are smaller
than recommended, reduce the fi ring rate accordingly.

Connect Fuel Lines
Fuel unit by-pass plug
Oil supply/return lines
Install the oil tank and oil lines in accordance with all
y
applicable state and local codes.
Size the oil supply and return lines using the guidelines
y
given in the fuel unit literature included in the literature
envelope. Oil line fl ow rate will equal the burner rate for
one-pipe systems. For two-pipe systems, refer to Table 3
for the fuel unit gear set capacity - the rate at which fuel
is recirculated when connected to a two-pipe system. Size
two-pipe oil lines based on this fl ow rate.
Use continuous lengths of heavy-wall copper tubing, routed
y
under the fl oor where possible. Do not attach fuel lines to
the appliance or to fl oor joists if possible. This will reduce
vibration and noise transmission problems.
Install an oil fi lter sized to handle the fuel unit gearset fl ow
y
capacity (Table 3) for two-pipe systems. Size the fi lter
for the fi ring rate for one-pipe systems. Locate the fi lter
immediately adjacent to the burner fuel unit.
Install two high-quality shut-off valves in accessible
y
locations on the oil supply line. Locate one valve close
to the tank. Locate the other valve close to the burner,
upstream of the fuel fi lter.
Do Not Install By-pass
Plug with 1-Pipe System
Failure to comply could cause immediate pump
seal failure, pressurized oil leakage and the potential for a fi re and injury hazard.
The burner is shipped without the by-pass plug in-
y
stalled.
Intall the by-pass plug in two-pipe oil supply systems
y
ONLY.
Use a two-pipe system, one-pipe system with by-pass
y
loop, or remove the by-pass plug when using with a
one-pipe system and no by-pass loop

Sequence of Oper ation
Prepare the burner for
(typical)
1
Standby — The burner is idle, waiting for a call for heat.
1.
When a call for heat is initiated, there is a 3-10 second delay
while the control performs a safe start check.
V alve-on delay — As applicable, the ignition and motor are
2.
turned on for a 15-second prepurge.
Trial for ignition (TFI) — The fuel valve is opened, as
3.
applicable. A fl ame should be estalished within the 15-
second lockout time.
Lockout — If fl ame is not sensed by the end of the TFI,
4.
the control shuts down on safety lockout and must be
manually reset. If the control locks out three times in a row,
the control enters restricted lockout. Call a qualifi ed service
technician.
Ignition carryover — Once fl ame is established, the
5.
ignition remains on for 10 seconds to ensure fl ame stability.
It then turns off.
Run — The burner runs until the call for heat is satisfi ed.
6.
The burner is then sent to burner motor-off delay, as
applicable, or it is shut down and sent to standby.
Recycle — If the fl ame is lost while the burner is fi ring, the
7.
control shuts down the burner, enters a 60-second recycle
delay, and then repeats the ignition steps outlined above. If
the fl ame is lost three times in a row, the control locks out
to prevent continuous cycling with repetitious fl ame loss
caused by poor combustion.
Burner motor-off delay — If applicable, the fuel valve
8.
is closed and the burner motor is kept on for the selected
postpurge time before the control returns the burner to
standby.

Explosion and Fire
Hazard
Failure to follow these instructions
could lead to equipment malfunction
and result in heavy smoke emission,
soot-up, hot gas puff-back, fi re and
asphyxiation hazards.
Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has
y
accumulated in the appliance, the appliance is full of
vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very hot.
Do not attempt to re-establish fl ame with the burner
y
running if the fl ame becomes extinguished during start-
up, venting, or adjustment.
V apor-Filled Appliance: Allow the unit to cool off and
y
all vapors to dissipate before attempting another start.
Oil-Flooded Appliance: Shut off the electrical power
y
and the oil supply to the burner and then clear all accumulated oil before continuing.
If the condition still appears unsafe, contact the Fire De-
y
partment. Carefully follow their directions.
Keep a fi re extinguisher nearby and ready for use.

Starting the burner and venting air
Hot Gas Puff-back and
Heavy Smoke Hazard
Failure to bleed the pump properly
could result in unstable combustion,
hot gas puff-back and heavy smoke.
Do not allow oil to intermittently spray into a hot com-
y
bustion chamber while bleeding.
Install a gauge in the nozzle discharge port tubing or
y
fully open the pump bleed valve to prevent oil spray
from accumulating in the combustion chamber when
venting air from the fuel pump.
Ensure that all bubbles and froth are purged from the
y
oil supply system before tightening the pump air bleed
valve.
Verify that the air adjusting plate (Figure 12, item m) has
1.
been set to the initial air position as described on page 14
under Initial air settings.
Open the oil shut-off valves in the oil supply (and return)

switch (if so equipped) and press the reset switch of the
burner primary control.
V ent the fuel unit as soon as the burner motor starts rotating.
6.
To vent —
Attach a clear plastic tube to the air bleed valve (Figure
8 or 9 as applies, item p).
Place the end of the tube in a container to catch the oil.
Then loosen the fuel unit air vent valve.
Tighten the air vent valve after all air has been purged.
IF burner stops during venting —
The burner primary control will lockout if fl ame is not
y
established within its time limit. This is typically 15
seconds for R7184B primary controls, but may be less
for other fl ame supervisory controls.
The burner may lockout several times during the period
y
needed to purge all the air. Press the red reset button
for ½ second during the prepurge cycle to extend air
venting time.
IF burner stops after fl ame established —
Additional venting is probably required. Repeat the
y
air venting procedure.
7. Once fl ame is steady, proceed to Set air adjusing plate.
Set air adjusting plate (Figure 12)
Allow the burner to run until the appliance has warmed
1.
suffi ciently.
Visually check the fl ame. The fl ame should not be dark
2.
orange or smoky. If the fl ame appears to be smoking,
increase the amount of air by re-adjusting the damper
indicator to a higher number.
Once the appliance has warmed, the air setting can be
3.
checked and adjusted.
Use combustion test instruments to adjust the burner.
4.
a. Adjust the air until a trace of smoke is achieved with
CO2 level as high as possible (lowest possible O2).
Example: 13.5% CO2 (2.5% O2) with a trace of
smoke.
b. Increase the air to reduce CO
at a zero smoke level. (Increase O
points at a zero smoke level.)
Example: Reduce CO
zero smoke (or increase O2 from 2.5% to 5.5%).
c. This procedure provides a margin of reserve air to ac-
commodate variable conditions.
Check the breech draft pressure against the appliance
If the breech pressure is higher or lower than recommend-
6.
ed level, adjust the appliance breech damper to achieve
the specifi ed setting. Recheck the smoke and CO2 levels.
Adjust burner air if necessary and tighten the air adjusting plate screw securely.

Annual Professional
Service Required
Tampering with or making incorrect
adjustments could lead to equipment
malfunction and result in asphyxiation, explosion or fi re.
Do not tamper with the burner or controls or make
y
any adjustments unless you are a trained and qualifi ed
service technician.
To ensure continued reliable operation, a qualifi ed
y
service technician must service this burner annually.
More frequent service intervals may be required in dusty
y
or adverse environments.
Operation and adjustment of the burner requires technical
y
training and skillful use of combustion test instruments
and other test equipment.
Annual service — by qualifi ed service techni-
cian
Have the burner inspected, tested and started at least annually
by a qualifi ed service technician. This annual test/inspection
should include at least the following:
Replace the oil supply line fi lter. The line fi lter cartridge
must be replaced to avoid contamination of the fuel unit
and nozzle.
Inspect the oil supply system. All fi ttings should be leak-
tight. The supply lines should be free of water, sludge and
other restrictions.
Remove and clean the pump strainer if applicable.
Replace the nozzle with the exact brand, pattern, gph, fl ow
rate and spray angle.
Clean and inspect the electrodes for damage, replacing any
that are cracked or chipped.
Check electrode tip settings. Replace electrodes if tips are
rounded.
Clean the cad cell lens surface, if necessary.
Inspect all gaskets. Replace any that are damaged or would
fail to seal adequately.
Inspect the combustion head and air tube. Remove any car-
bon or foreign matter. Replace all damaged units with exact
parts.
Clean the blower wheel, air inlet, air guide, and burner
housing of any lint or foreign material.
If motor is not permanently lubricated, oil motor with a few
drops of SAE 20 nondetergent oil at each oil hole. DO NOT
over oil motor. Excessive oiling can cause motor failure.
Check motor current. The amp draw should not exceed the
nameplate rating.
Check all wiring for secure connections or insulation
breaks.
Check the pump pressure and cutoff function.
Check primary control safety lockout timing.
Check ignition system for proper operation.
Inspect the vent system and chimney for soot accumulation
or other restriction.
Clean the appliance thoroughly according to the manufac-
turer’s recommendations.
Check the burner performance. Refer to the section “Set
combustion with test instruments”.
It is good practice to make a record of the service performed
and the combustion test results.
