SEQUENCE OF OPERATION FOR BLAZE 400 D/G

FOR THERMOSTAT OPERATION FLIP SELECTOR SWITCH TO “STAT ON” POSITION. IF YOU ARE NOT

With “Selector Switch” in “ON” position and selector switch in “STAT ON” position and remote
thermostat plugged into receptacle:

1: Remote Thermostat senses a drop in temperature and the ignition control module is energized.
2: The module performs a safe start check and the burner and spark generator start. Burner lights, ignition
stops, and flame current is sensed.

For oil: the Genisys primary control contacts close, the burner motor and ignitor are
energized after a 15 second delay. The primary control energizes the pump solenoid valve and flame is
established. The cad cell senses flame and the burner continues to fire.

3: Temperature controller thermocouple heats up to factory set point (90F) OR after Time Delay of 1
minute and circulating air blower starts.
4: When the remote thermostat senses space temperature at set point, the burner shuts down.
5: The circulating blower continues to operate until the air in the unit cools to the factory set point (80 ºF)
then turns off.

With selector switch in “BYPASS” position:

1: The module performs a safe start check and the burner and spark generator start.
2: Burner lights, ignition stops, and flame current is sensed.
3: Temperature controller thermocouple heats up to factory set point (90F) and circulating air blower starts.
4: When the selector switch is placed to the off position the burner shuts down.
5: The circulating blower continues to operate until the air in the unit cools to the factory set point (80F)
then turns off.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR BLAZE 400 D/G

STARTING HEATER

1.) ENSURE HEATER IS ON FLAT, LEVEL GROUND BEFORE STARTING, CANOPY AND FAN GUARDS
MUST BE CLOSED.

2.) MAKE SURE “SELECTOR SWITCH” IS IN “OFF” POSITION.

3.) WIRE IN SUPPLY CORD TO 120V SUPPLY WITH GROUND.

INSTALLATION
12/3 AWG UPTO 50FT
10/3 AWG BEYOND 50FT

4.) TURN “SELECTOR SWITCH” TO “ON” POSITION.

5.)
USING A THERMOSTAT FLIP SELECTOR SWITCH TO “BYPASS” POSITION.

Please Note: When using a generator for electrical supply, make sure the generator is properly grounded and
is running at a 60HZ frequency. In the event that a generator is being used and the generator runs out of fuel,
make sure the heater “SELECTOR SWITCH” is in the “OFF” position before restarting generator, failure to do
so may damage heater.

STOPPING HEATER

1.) Close main gas supply valve while heater is operating or if operating heater with oil skip to # 2.)

2.) Flip “SELECTOR SWITCH” to “OFF” position. The supply fan will continue to operate until the heat exchanger
has sufficiently cooled. Do not disconnect main power until supply fan has stopped running and “SELECTOR
SWITCH” is on “OFF” position.

3.) Disconnect heater from gas supply OR disconnect fuel oil lines.

Do not operate the unit in partly ventilated areas without a flue pipe or in close proximity to
combustible surfaces or materials. Non Combustible floor must extend 6 feet on all sides of
the unit.

FLUE PIPE CONNECTIONS

VENT TO OUTDOORS

FOR INSTALLATION ON NON-COMBUSTIBLE FLOORS ONLY

When the heater is connected to a flue pipe the flue pipe shall terminate in a vertical section at
least two feet long. Horizontal runs should have rise ratio of 1 in 10 away from the heater. Where

down drafts are liable to occur a vent cap should be used. All venting should correspond with the
CSA B139 standard or local codes.

CAUTION: HEATER FLUE TEMPERATURES CAN REACH 700 °F TO 900 °F THEREFORE IT IS
A RANGE THAT IS BOTH HAZARDOUS TO HUMANS AND HIGHER THAN THE AUTO­IGNITION TEMPERATURES OF MANY MATERIALS. THEREFORE EXERCISE CAUTION IN
HEATER PLACEMENT AND THE USE OF AN INSULATED GUARD AND STACK IS HIGHLY
RECOMMENDED.

Horizontal venting runs shall always terminate with a minimum 24” vertical.

NOTE: FOR OPTIMAL COMBUSTION PERFORMANCE A 30” C-VENT FLUE EXTENSION WITH
RAIN CAP IS RECOMMENDED AT ALL TIMES.

TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER AND THERMOCOUPLE

The temperature controller protocols should be checked every heating season to ensure the burner will shutdown if
temperature exceeds 280F at the outlet duct. This can be accomplished by restricting the air flow through the unit.
After tests are complete, remove restrictors as both inlet and outlet ducts must be open for proper operation.

The temperature controller setting of 90F and time delay of 1 minute has been selected to allow for preheating of the
heat exchanger to ensure that only heated air is allowed to enter the space. Upon satisfying the need for heat, the
temperature controller will continue to run the supply fan until the heat exchanger has cooled sufficiently. This feature
will help prolong the life of the heat exchanger. The temperature controller must be replaced if the fan motor does not
shut off after the heat exchanger has cooled down.

Temperature Controller Protocols

Fan Turns on at 90 F OR time delay of 1 minute

Out # 2 is set at 275º (This will cycle the burner off 280º and back on at 275º.) If the burner reset light goes on; you
need to go to the control panel. For the Beckett CG10A and CF375 the controller must be reset by pressing the reset
button. For the Riello G400 and F10 burners the primary controller located on the burner must be reset.

There is a redundant 150F high limit switch.

During cool down the unit cools to 80F and then shuts down.

ELECTRICAL

Ensure all conduit (BX) connectors are tight. Open control panel door and burner compartment and check connections
are tight and no frayed wires exposed.

FAN

Check for dust or dirt build up on blades. Run heater to check for fan vibration. Replace fan blade if vibration is
noticeable. The flow of combustion and ventilation air must not be obstructed. Be sure to check the fan assembly and
ensure that the motor and blade are operating properly.

MOTOR

No lubrication is necessary since the bearings are the sealed type. Clean motor of existing dust or dirt.

GAS TRAIN (annual basis)

Connect gas supply to gas train with gas safety shut-off valves closed. Spray all of gas train components including
safety shut-off valves with soap and water solution to check for leaks. Open safety shut off valves on gas train and
spray with soap and water solution to check for leaks.

HEAT EXCHANGER

If a smoky condition continues even after adjusting the air assembly, the heat exchanger should be thoroughly
cleaned.

FUEL FILTER (OIL OPERATION)

Replace cartridge every six months of normal usage.

NOTE: FLOW OF COMBUSTION AND VENTILATION AIR CANNOT BE OBSTRUCTED

FLAME DETECTOR (OIL OPERATION)

When doing maintenance, turn on machine and run. After having machine run for a few minutes, press red button on
primary control. Hold for one second and then release. If light flashes once or twice or three times, cad cell is
functioning properly. If flashes four times, check alignment and proper flame. If correct a cleaning of the face of the

AFTER INSPECTION, A COMPLETE COMBUSTION TEST MUST BE PEFORMED AFTER EACH ANNUAL

SERVICE OF THE UNIT TO MAINTAIN OPTIMUM PERFORMANCE AND RELIABILITY.

WARNING: TURN OFF THE FUEL SUPPLIES AND POWER BEFORE PERFORMING
SERVICE WORK. THE 120V CIRCUIT IS A POTENTIAL ELECTROCUTION HAZARD.

BURNER (OIL OPERATION)

The electrode spacing must be checked and adjusted, if necessary after every nozzle change. Nozzle should be
replaced annually or sooner if burner cannot be set up to operate properly. Nozzle size and type are marked on the
