Before you begin . . .
The following resources will give you additional information
for your installation. We suggest that you consult these
resources whenever possible. Pay particular attention to the
appliance manufacturer’s instructions.
Appliance manufacturer’ s instructions — Alw ays follow
the appliance manufacturer’s instructions for burner
installation, equipment and setup.
• The burner requires combustion air and ventilation air for
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 confined spaces, the room must have
an air opening near the top of the room plus one near the
floor, 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 pressure
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
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.
❏ Vent system
• The flue gas venting system must be in good condition
and must comply with all applicable codes.
❏ Electrical supply
• Verify that the power connections available are correct for
the burner. All power must be supplied through fused disconnect switches.
❏ Verify burner components —
• Burner box, Model CF2300A
• Air tube assembly (selected per following)
• Mounting flange kit
• Pedestal mounting assembly kit (recommended)
• Oil nozzle, per Table 1 — Use only 45° to 70° solid pat-
tern nozzles unless otherwise shown by appliance manufacturer.
Find the required firing rate in the 300 psig column (high
fire rate).
Select the corresponding nozzle from column 1 (Ratedgph @ 100 psig).
❏ Fuel supply
• The fuel supply piping and tank must provide #1 or #2
fuel 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 b urner carton to verify
allowable suction pressure.
When fuel supply is level with or higher than burner
fuel unit —
• When the fuel unit is not required to lift the oil, the installation 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.
• The fuel unit is shipped with the by-pass plug installed.
Leave the by-pass plug installed for all low/high firing
burners, regardless whether one-pipe (with by-pass loop)
or two-pipe. See Figure 8 for installation of the by-pass
loop required for one-pipe fuel supply installations. See
Figure 9 for connections to the fuel unit for two-pipe fuel
supply installations.
When fuel supply is below the burner fuel unit —
• Use a two-pipe oil system when the fuel unit must lift the
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.
Note: 10% turndown indicates sufficient reserve air to reduce th e CO2 in the
flue to 90% of its value.
Note:
The above ratings may vary 5% due to variations in actual job conditions.
❏ Verify firing rate
• Refer to appliance manufacturer’s instructions (if available) for firing rate and nozzle selection. Otherwise, the
maximum recommended firing rate for the burner depends
on the length of the firing chamber and the distance from
the burner center to the chamber floor . 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 firing rate accordingly.
❏ Verify air tube
• The information in this section may be disregarded if the
air tube is supplied by the appliance manufacturer.
• Two tube arrangements are available –
Tube KG — 7.0 to 19.9 GPH per Table 2
Tube KS — 10.0 to 19.9 GPH per Table 2
• Maximum firing capacity depends on the firebox pressure.
Use Table 2 to verify the correct air tube type for the firing
rate required. Use Tube KS only when Tube KG cannot
provide the firing rate required.
• See Figure 2 to verify the correct air tube length and air
tube combination code.

• Install the oil lines using the following
guidelines. Failure to comply could lead
to equipment damage and present a risk of
severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage due to leakage of oil
and potential fire hazard.
• Use only flare fittings at joints and connections. Never use compression fittings.
• Install fittings only in accessible locations
to assure any leak will be detected.
• Where joint sealing is needed, use only
pipe dope. Never use Teflon tape. Tape
strands can break free and damage the fuel
unit.
• Never use a one-pipe oil system with a lift
in excess of 8 feet with a B fuel unit, or 2
feet with an H fuel unit. On two-pipe oil
systems, verify that the suction line vacuum
does not exceed the fuel unit manufacturer’ s
recommendation.
❏ Fuel unit by-pass plug
• The CF2300A burner is shipped with a by-pass plug installed in the fuel unit. For low/high operation, the by-
pass plug must be left in the fuel unit
the fuel system used (one-pipe with by-pass loop or twopipe). Do not remove the by-pass plug.
, regardless of
Figure 8a – One-pipe oil flow, low fire, “H” pump
Figure 8b – One-pipe oil flow, high fire, “H” pump
Do not operate the burner unless a return line
or by-pass loop is installed. Failure to follow
this guideline will cause damage to the fuel
unit seals and consequent fuel leakage. This
could result in severe personal injury, death
or substantial property damage.
❏ One-pipe oil system by-pass loop
• Refer to Figure 8 (item m). Note the addition of a fieldinstalled by-pass loop (use
fuel unit Return port to the Inlet port. This line is required
for low/high operation. It simulates the flow of a two-pipe
system at the fuel unit. Figures 8a and 8b are for type H
fuel units. Figure 8c is for a type B fuel unit.
❏ Oil supply/return lines
• Install the oil tank and oil lines in accordance with all
applicable codes.
• Size the oil supply and return lines using the guidelines
given in the fuel unit literature included in the literature
envelope. Oil line flow rate will equal the burner rate for

Do not by-pass any safety control.
By-passing a safety control could result in
severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
See Figure 10 for a typical wiring diagram, with R8184 oil
primary, for reference purposes only. The CF2300A burner is
available with many different wiring configurations. Refer to
the wiring diagram shipped with the burner for the actual
wiring applying to your burner.
NOTE: The wiring in Figure 10 is for an R8184 primary
control and a type B fuel unit (using internal by-pass pressure
regulator as shown in Figures 8c and 9c). The difference in
fuel units is the connection of by-pass oil valve S2 to the
damper-motor end switch. When using a type H fuel unit, the
by-pass oil valve wire is connected to terminal “W” instead of
terminal “B” on the end switch because the by-pass pressure
regulation is external to the fuel unit.
Form 6104 BCF-23-R0399
Page 11
Instruction Manual – Model CF2300A Oil Burner
Sequence of operation — typical
NOTE: The following sequence is based on using a type B
fuel unit, with pump-mounted by-pass valve. The by-pass valve
operation is reversed for a type H fuel unit. That is, the bypass valve is powered at low fire instead of being powered at
high fire.
1. On call for heat from the appliance operating controls (and
the circuit from T to T of the R8184 closed), power is
applied to the R8184 black wire (BK).
2. The R8184 applies 120 volts to the orange wire (OR), activating the burner motor (M1) and the ignition transformer
(TR). The oil pump is operated by the burner motor, so oil
pressure is delivered to the oil valve inlets.
3. Power is applied to the oil valve circuit. If optional timer,
(TM), is installed, oil flow will be delayed for the timer
duration, thus providing a prepurge period. When the timer
times out, oil valves (S1 and S3) are activated, allowing
oil to flow to the nozzle.
4. With the low-fire hold switch (LFHS) in the “IN” position,
the burner will remain at low fire. W ith no power applied to
the by-pass valve (S2), oil by-passes internally in the fuel
unit, reducing the pressure sent to the oil nozzle.
5. When the low-fire hold switch is moved to the “OUT”
position, the damper motor (DM) will be activated. This
will begin opening the air damper.
6. When the damper motor end switch is tripped, oil valve
(S2) is activated, stopping by-pass flow inside the fuel
unit and providing full pressure (300 psig) at the oil nozzle.
The burner is now at high fire. The damper motor end switch
is set to operate before the damper has reached full open
to assure a smooth transition to high fire.
7. If a high/low-fire control is installed at H/L, this control
will cycle the firing rate automatically during an operating cycle.
8. At the start of the cycle, the R8184 begins checking for
flame signal between F and F. Flame must be established
within 15 seconds of initiation. If no flame is sensed after
15 seconds, the R8184 will terminate all power to the
blower and oil circuits, shutting the burner down. The control will electrically lock out.
• To reset the control after lockout, wait 2 to 3 minutes
after lockout to give the internal switch time to cool.
Then push the reset button on the primary control, al-
lowing the burner to operate in normal sequence.
• Troubleshoot the reason for flame sense failure.
9. When the call for heat signal terminates (at the black wire
of the R8184), the R8184 terminates power to all circuits,
closing the oil valves and stopping the burner motor.

❏ Z dimension
• Should be set per these instructions (see page 7). The top
acorn nut (Figure 11, item d) should never be loosened
once the Z dimension is initially set.
❏ Adjusting plate assembly (Figure 11)
• Make sure spline nut (item b) and bottom acorn nut (item
c) are loose.
❏ Initial head position (Figure 11)
• The indicator plate assembly (item e) markings correspond
to head position settings.
• Slide the secondary adjusting plate (item f) toward the rear
of the burner until the number on the indicator plate corresponds to the initial head setting given in Table 4 for the
desired firing rate (high-fire).
• Figure 11 shows a typical example, with a head setting of
5.
• When the head position has been set, tighten the bottom
acorn nut (item c) and the spline nut (item b).
❏ Initial air settings (Figure 12)
• Loosen the screw holding the air adjusting plate (item m).
Set the air to the desired low-fire rate. (The numbers on this
plate correspond to the approximate firing rate settings
given in Table 5.)
• Rotate the air adjusting plate until the lower edge of the
pointer is opposite the number from T able 5 corresponding
to the desired low-fire rate.
• This initial setting should be adequate for starting the
burner at low fire. Once the burner is in operation, the air
setting will be adjusted for best performance as discussed
later in this manual.
• The damper moves to high-fire position as the damper rod
(item d) rotates the damper linkage arm (item f). You will
adjust the setting of the damper linkage arm when setting
the high-fire air as discussed on page 14 in Start the
burner
• Follow the procedures given later in this manual for fine
tuning the air settings.

Instruction Manual – Model CF2300A Oil Burner
Start the burner
Do not proceed unless all prior steps in this
manual have been completed. Failure to
comply could result in severe personal injury,
death or substantial property damage.
Do not attempt to start the burner when excess
oil has accumulated, when the appliance is
full of vapor or when the combustion chamber
is very hot. Do not attempt to reestablish flame
with the burner running if the flame should be
extinguished during start-up, venting or
adjustment. Allow the unit to cool off and all
vapors to dissipate before attempting another
start. Failure to comply with these guidelines
could cause an explosion or fire, resulting in
severe personal injury, death or substantial
property damage.
Damper motor and motor arm assembly - Do
not attempt to adjust the cam setting in the
damper motor. It is factory preset. Do not mov e
the ball joint assembly further out on the
motor arm assembly. This would change the
timing of damper opening versus fuel rate.
The damper linkage arm screw must be
tightened securely to assure the damper will
provide sufficient air at high fire. Failure to
comply could cause unreliable combustion
or flame failures, leading to possible severe
personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
❏ Start burner and vent air from oil line
1. Move the low-fire hold switch to the “IN” position (to
hold burner in low fire when started).
2. Verify that the air adjusting plate (Figure 12, item m) has
been set to the initial low-fire air position as described on
page 12 under Initial air settings.
3. Loosen the screw on the damper linkage arm (Figure 12,
item f) and allow the damper indicator (Figure 12, item k)
to rest on the air adjusting plate (Figure 12, item m).
4. Open the oil shutoff valves in the oil supply (and return)
line(s) to the burner.
3. Set the thermostat (or operating control) to call for heat.
4. Close the line switch to the burner. The burner motor
should start immediately.
5. If the burner motor does not start, reset the motor overload
switch (if so equipped) and press the reset switch of the
burner primary control.
6. Vent the fuel unit as soon as the burner motor starts
rotating. To vent —
❏ Attach a clear plastic tube to the air bleed valve (Figure
8a, 8b, 9a or 9b
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 flame
is not established within its time limit.
This is typically 15 seconds for R8184 primary
controls, but may be less for other flame
supervisory controls.
•The burner may lockout several times during the
period needed to purge all the air. Reset the
primary control each time in order to continue
purging.
•If the burner is equipped with an R8184 primary,
you will need to wait about 2 minutes after each
lockout to allow time for the reset switch to cool.
•Squeeze off the air bleed tubing or close the air
vent valve when the pump stops running to prevent
air from flowing back into the oil line.
If the fuel unit air vent valve is completelyopen, assuring no flow of oil to the burner oil
nozzle, you can temporarily jumper the F-F
terminals of an R8184 primary during the
purge period to allow enough time for all air
to purge. Never leave the burner unattendedwhen doing this. Remove the jumper when
purging is completed. This procedure should
only be used by a qualified burner technician,
experienced in burner operation and
control. Improper application of this method
can cause combustion chamber explosion, fire
hazard or fuel leakage, resulting in severe
personal injury, death or substantial property
damage.
❏ IF burner stops after flame established —
•Additional venting is probably required. Repeat
the air venting procedure.
7. Once flame is steady , proceed to Set high-fire air.
❏ Set high-fire air
1. Allow the burner to run at low fire until the appliance has
warmed sufficiently.
2. Visually check the flame. The flame should not be dark
orange or smoky. If the flame appears to be smoking, increase the amount of air by readjusting the damper indicator to a higher number.
3. Once the appliance has warmed, the high-fire setting can
be checked and adjusted.
4. Locate the approximate air adjusting plate setting for highfire in Table 5, page 13.
5. Place the low-fire hold switch in the “OUT” position.
The damper motor will begin to rotate.
a. At the same time, loosen the screw securing the air
adjusting plate (Figure 12, item m) as the damper begins to move.

Instruction Manual – Model CF2300A Oil Burner
b. Slowly rotate the air adjusting plate (increase the
amount of air) as the damper drives to high-fire.
c. Lock down air adjusting plate at the high-fire air set-
ting found in Table 5 for the high-fire rate.
6. Use combustion test instruments to adjust the burner.
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 CO2 by 2 percentage points
at a zero smoke level. (Increase O2 by 3 percentage
points at a zero smoke level.)
Example: Reduce CO2 from 13.5% to 11.5%, with zero
smoke (or increase O2 from 2.5% to 5.5%).
c. A margin of reserve air has been added to accommo-
date variable conditions.
7. Check the breech draft pressure against the appliance
manufacturer’s recommended setting (typically + 0.1"
W.C.).
8. If the breech pressure is higher or lower than recommended
level, adjust the appliance breech damper to achieve the
specified setting. Recheck the smoke and CO2 levels.
Adjust burner air if necessary.
9. Once all settings are complete and satisfactory, rotate the
damper linkage arm (Figure 12, item f) until it touches
the damper rod (Figure 12, item d) and tighten the damper
linkage arm screw securely.
❏ Set low-fire air
1. Loosen the air adjusting plate (Figure 12, item m) screw
and set the air adjusting plate at the low-fire air setting
found in Table 5, page 13. The damper should stay at the
high-fire setting. The damper linkage will prevent movement of the damper plate.
2. Move the low-fire hold switch from the “OUT” to the
“IN” position.
a. The damper will return to the low-fire air setting.
3. Check the smoke and CO2 (O2) levels.
a. Pull a smoke sample from the flue.
b. The sample should be clean (zero smoke level).
c. Check the CO2 (O2) level:
CO2 should be at 11 to 12% (O2 at 5.9 to 4.5%).
If the CO2 is less than 11% (O2 more than 5.9%), decrease
the air and check the smoke level.
4. Operate the burner from low fire to high fire and back to
verify operation.
5. Turn the b urner off. Wait one or two minutes (for chamber
to clear) and then turn on again to verify starting characteristics.
6. Perform limit circuit performance test specified by appliance manufacturer to verify operation of burner/appliance combination.
Maintenance and service
The burner must be serviced at least annually by a qualified service technician to assure continued reliable
operation. Operation and adjustment of the burner requires technical knowledge and the use of combustion test
instruments. Do not tamper with the burner or controls. Failure to comply could result in failure of the burner or
system, resulting in severe personal injury, death or substantial property damage.
Annual service
— by qualified service technician
Have the burner inspected, tested and started at least annually
by a qualified service technician. This annual test/inspection
should include at least the following:
❏ Replace oil nozzle.
❏ Clean burner and blower wheel (if needed to remove lint
or debris).
❏ Test ignition and combustion at low and high fire and
verify air damper settings.
❏ Test oil supply line vacuum - verify that it is within al-
lowable range indicated in fuel unit literature.
❏ Check pump pressure to nozzle at low and high fire.
❏ Inspect fuel system (including tank, lines and all connec-
tions).
❏ Inspect combustion air and vent systems.
❏ Replace oil filter.
❏ Oil motor (if not permanently lubricated).
Monthly maintenance
— by owner
❏ Observe combustion air openings and vent system for
integrity . Openings must be clean and free of any obstructions.
❏ Check the oil lines and fittings to verify there are no leaks.
❏ Observe burner ignition and performance to verify smooth
operation.
❏ Shut the system down if you observe abnormal or ques-
tionable operation. Call a qualified service agency for
professional inspection and service.
