Page 4 6104 BCF3 R02
Page 5
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 NFPA 31 (CSA
B1139-M91 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
y
100 psig.
y
This burner utilizes pressures higher than 100 psig, so
the actual nozzle fl ow rate will be greater than the gph
stamped on the nozzle body. (Example: A 2.00 gph
nozzle at 150 psig = 2.45 gph.
y
For typical nozzle fl ow rates at various pressures
see accompanying chart.
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
y
exceed 3 psig.
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.
Refer to the Mount the Burner Section of this manual for
y
one-pipe or two-pipe fuel supply installation instructions.
If fuel supply is below the fuel unit —
The fuel unit nozzle port pressure is factory set at 140
y
psig. Some original equipment manufacturer burner applications may call for a lower pressure to obtain a required
fi ring rate. Do not change this pressure unless directed to
do so by the appliance manufacturer.
Vent system
The fl ue gas venting system must be in good condition and
y
must comply with all applicable codes.
Electrical supply
Verify that the power connections available are correct for
y
the burner. All power must be supplied through fused disconnect switches.
Verify burner components —

y
Air tube assembly
y
Mounting fl ange kit
y
Oil nozzle, per Table 1 — Only 45° to 70° solid pattern
y
nozzles are recommended unless otherwise specifi ed by
appliance manufacturer. (See specifi c appliance recom-
mendation sheet or refer to OEM Spec Guide). Find the
required fi ring rate in the 150 psig column (factory-set fuel
unit pressure). Select the corresponding nozzle from column 1 (Rated gph @ 100 psig).
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. 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.

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.
The information in this section may be disregarded if the
y
air tube is supplied by the appliance manufacturer.
Two tube arrangements are available –
y
Tube A — 1.65 to 2.00 GPH
Tube B — 2.00 to 3.75 GPH
Maximum fi ring capacity depends on the fi rebox pressure.
y
Use Table 2 to verify the correct air tube type for the fi r-
ing rate required. Use Tube B only when Tube A cannot
provide the fi ring rate required.

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 2
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,
y
routed 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 2) 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.

equence of operation — typical
1. Standby — The burner is idle, waiting for a call for heat.
When a call for heat is initiated, there is a 2- to 6-second
delay while the control performs a safe start check.
2. Valve-on delay — As applicable, the ignition and motor are
turned on for a 15-second prepurge.
3. Trial for ignition (TFI) — The fuel valve is opened, as applicable. A fl ame should be established within the 15-sec-
ond lockout time (30-second lockout time is available).
4. Lockout — If fl ame is not sensed by the end of the TFI, 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.
5. Ignition carryover — Once fl ame is established, the igni-
tion remains on for 10 seconds to ensure fl ame stability. It
then turns off.
6. Run — The burner runs until the call for heat is satisfi ed.
The burner is then sent to burner motor-off delay, as applicable, or it is shut down and sent to standby.

Start the Burner
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.
y
Do not attempt to re-establish fl ame with the burner
running if the fl ame becomes extinguished during start-
up, venting, or adjustment.
y
V apor-Filled Appliance: Allow the unit to cool off and
all vapors to dissipate before attempting another start.
y
Oil-Flooded Appliance: Shut off the electrical power
and the oil supply to the burner and then clear all accumulated oil before continuing.
y
If the condition still appears unsafe, contact the Fire
Department. Carefully follow their directions.
y
Keep a fi re extinguisher nearby and ready for use.
Repeat the previous steps if needed, until the pump is
y
fully primed and the oil is free of bubbles. Then terminate the call for heat, and the control will resume
normal operation.
Resetting from restricted lockout
If the control locks out three times in a row without a
y
complete heat cycle between attempts, the lockout becomes restricted. A qualifi ed service technician should
be called to inspect the burner.
Disable function
Any time the motor is running, press and hold the reset
y
button to disable the burner. The burner will remain off
as long as the button is held and will return to standby
when released
CAD cell resistance check
While the burner is fi ring, and after the ignition has
y
been turned off, press and release the reset button (hold
1/2 second or less) to check the cad cell resistance. The
LED will fl ash 1 to 4 times, depending on the cad cell
resistance (refer to the table below).
Starting the burner and venting air
Priming the pump
Initiate a call for heat
y
While the ignition is on, press and release the reset but-
y
ton on the R7184 control (hold 1/2 second or less). If
the control has not locked out since it’s most recent
complete heat cycle, the lockout time will be extended
to 4 minutes (45 seconds in earlier units), and the ignition will remain on the entire heat cycle.
Bleed the pump until all froth and bubbles are purged.
y
If prime is not established within the extended lockout
time, the control will lock out. Press the reset button to
reset the control and return to the functions listed in the
previous step.
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.
y
Install a gauge in the nozzle discharge port tubing or
fully open the pump bleed valve to prevent oil spray
from accumulating in the combustion chamber when
venting air from the fuel pump.
y
Ensure that all bubbles and froth are purged from the
oil supply system before tightening the pump air bleed
valve.

Follow these four steps to properly adjust the burner:
Maintenance and Ser-
vice
Step 1: Adjust the air shutter/band until a trace of smoke
is achieved.
Step 2: At the trace of smoke level, measure the CO
(or O2) . This is the vital reference point for further
adjustments. Example: 13.5% CO
Step 3: Increase the air to reduce the CO2 by 1.5 to 2
percentage points. (O2 will be increased by approximately 2.0 to 2.7 percentage points.) Example: Reduce CO2 from 13.5% to 11.5% (2.6% to 5.3% O2).
Step 4: Recheck smoke level. It should be Zero.
This procedure provides a margin of reserve air
y
to accommodate variable conditions.
If the draft level has changed, recheck the
y
smoke and CO
if necessary
Once combustion is set, tighten all fasteners on air band,

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.
y
To ensure continued reliable operation, a qualifi ed
service technician must service this burner annually.
y
More frequent service intervals may be required in
dusty or adverse environments.
y
Operation and adjustment of the burner requires
technical 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:
Check the breech draft pressure against the appliance
6.
manufacturer’s recommended setting (typically + 0.1”
W .C.). If the breech pressure is higher or lower than recommended level, adjust the appliance breech damper to
achieve the specifi ed setting. Recheck the smoke and
CO
levels. Adjust burner air if necessary.
2
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.
Inspect the igniter spring contacts.
Clean the cad cell len’s 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
carbon or foreign matter. Replace all damaged units with
exact parts.
Clean the blower wheel, air inlet, air guide, burner housing and static plate 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.
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 accumula-
tion 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 per-
formed and the combustion test results.
Monthly maintenance
Observe combustion air openings and vent system
for integrity. Openings must be clean and free of
obstructions.
Check oil lines and fi ttings to verify there are no leaks.
Observe burner ignition and performance to verify smooth
operation.
Shut the system down if you observe abnormal or
questionable operation. Call a qualifi ed service agency for
professional inspection and service.
