2.8 COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY

VENTILATION

AND

WARNING

Poisonous carbon monoxide gas hazard.
Comply with NFPA 31 (U.S.) and CSA B139 (Canada)

standards for the installation of Oil Burning
Equipment and applicable provisions of local building
codes to provide combustion and ventilation air.

Failure to provide adequate combustion and
ventilation air can result in death, bodily injury and/or
property damage.

Oil furnaces must have an adequate supply of combustion
air. It is common practice to assume that older homes
have sufficient infiltration to accommodate the combustion
air requirement for the furnace. However, home
improvements such as new windows, doors, and weather
stripping have drastically reduced the volume of air
infiltration into the home.

Refer to oil furnace installation codes relative to
combustion and ventilation air requirements. Consult
Section 2.2 in this manual, specifically for units installed in
an enclosed space.

Home air exhausters are common. Bathroom and kitchen
fans, power vented clothes dryers and water heaters all
tend to create a negative pressure condition in the home.
Should this occur the chimney becomes less and less
effective and can easily downdraft. In certain cases,
mechanically supplied air, by way of a blower, interlocked
with the unit, is necessary. It is the installer’s responsibility
to check that.

2.8.1 Contaminated Combustion Air

Installations in certain areas or types of structures will
increase the exposure to chemicals or halogens that may
harm the furnace. These conditions will require that only
outside air be used for combustion.

The following areas or types of structures may contain or
be exposed to certain substances, potentially requiring
outside air for combustion:

a. Commercial buildings;
b. Buildings with indoor pools;
c. Furnaces installed near chemical storage areas.

Exposure to the following substances:
a. Permanent wave chemicals for hair;
b. Chlorinated waxes and cleaners;
c. Chlorine based swimming pool chemicals;
d. Water softening chemicals;
e. De-icing salts or chemicals;
f. Carbon tetrachloride;

8

g. Halogen type refrigerants;
h. Cleaning solvents (such as perchloroethylene);
i. Printing inks, paint removers, varnishes, etc. ;
j. Hydrochloric acid;
k. Solvent based glue;
l. Antistatic fabric softeners for clothes dryers;
m. Acid based masonry cleaning materials.

2.8.2 Burner with Outdoor Combustion Air Kit

Certain burners are designed to function with combustion air
taken directly from the outside. Follow the instructions provided
with the burner, the fresh-air supply kit or the side-wall venting
kit.

2.9 OIL TANK

WARNING

Fire and explosion hazard.
Use only approved heating type oil in this furnace.

DO NOT USE waste oil, used motor oil, gasoline or
kerosene.

Use of these will result in death, bodily injury and/or
property damage.

CAUTION

When a 0.75 USGPH or smaller nozzle is used, a 10 micron or
finer filter, must be installed on the oil supply line to the
furnace inside the building where the unit is located.

This is a requirement in order for the heat exchanger warranty
to remain in force.

Check your local codes for the installation of the oil tank and
accessories.

At the beginning of each heating season or once a year, check
the complete oil distribution system for leaks.

Ensure that the tank is full of clean oil. Use No.1 or No.2
Heating Oil (ASTM D396 U.S.) or in Canada, use No.1 or No.2
Furnace Oil.

A manual shut-off valve and an oil filter shall be installed in
sequence from tank to burner. Be sure that the oil line is clean
before connecting to the burner. The oil line should be
protected to eliminate any possible damage. Installations
where the oil tank is below the burner level must employ a two­pipe fuel supply system with an appropriate fuel pump. A rise
of 2.4 m (8') and more requires a two stage pump and a rise
greater than 4.9 m (16') an auxiliary pump. Follow the pump
instructions to determine the size of pipe needed in relation to
the rise or to the horizontal distance.

2.10 DUCTING

WARNING

Poisonous carbon monoxide gas hazard.
DO NOT draw return air from inside a closet or utility

room. Return air MUST be sealed to the furnace
casing.

Failure to properly seal ducts can result in death,
bodily injury and/or property damage.

The ducting must be designed and installed according to
approved methods, local and national codes as well as
good trade practices.

When ducting supplies air to a space other than where the
furnace is located, the return air must be sealed and also
be directed to the space other than where the furnace is
located.

2.10.1 Air filter

A properly sized air filter must be installed on the return air
side of the unit. Refer to the Technical Specifications,
table 6, for the correct dimensions. Also refer to Section

2.2 and the instructions supplied with the filter.

turn, can result in death, bodily injury and/or property
damage.

A clearance of 15 cm (6") is required between the bottom of
the coil drain pan and the top of the heat exchanger. If a heat
pump is installed, a “dual-energy” thermostat, or other control
is recommended, in order to prevent the simultaneous
operation of the furnace and the heat pump. It also prevents a
direct transition from heating by way of the heat pump to
heating with oil. Refer to the thermostat instructions or those of
another control used for the proper wiring.

3 OPERATION

3.2 OPERATING SEQUENCE

HEATING MODE

OIL

1. The W-R contact closes;

2. The burner motor starts up to pre-purge the

combustion chamber for a period of 10 to 15
seconds. During that time a spark is established on
the electrodes;

3. The solenoid valve opens and a flame is established.

Shortly after, the electrodes cease to spark;

4. Then the blower runs up to full speed. The delay

depends on the adjustments that were made on the
electronic board, which controls the blower motor.
Refer to Sections 2.11 and 2.12, as well as the CFM
table 7 for more details.

5. When the call for heat is satisfied, the solenoid valve

closes, the flame goes out and the burner motor
stops (after post purge delay, if applicable).

6. The blower stops shortly after the burner. The delay

depends on the adjustments that were made on the
electronic board that controls the blower. Refer to
Sections 2.11 and 2.12, as well as the CFM table 7
for more details.

Note: A detailed operating sequence of the oil burner is
outlined in the instructions provided with the burner.

3.3 CHECKS AND ADJUSTMENTS

3.1 START-UP

Before starting up the unit, be sure to check that the following
items are in compliance:

1. The electrical installation, the oil supply system, the

venting system, combustion air supply and ventilation;

2. The blower access door is in place and the blower rail

locking screws are well tightened;

3. The Blocked Vent Shut-Off (BVSO) is installed according

to instructions (for chimney venting);

4. The oil supply valve is open;

5. The burner ‘’Reset’’ button is well pushed in or re-armed;

6. The preliminary air adjustments on the burner comply

with the technical specifications in this manual;

7. The blower speed adjustments for heating and air

conditioning are appropriate and according to the
specifications in this manual;

8. The blower start/stop delays are satisfactory;

9. The thermostat of the room is in the heating mode and is

set higher than the ambient temperature.

To start the unit, turn the main electrical switch on.

3.3.1 Purging the oil line

Open the bleed port screw and start the burner. Allow the
oil to drain into a container for at least 10 seconds. The oil
should flow absolutely free of white streaks or air bubbles
to indicate that no air is being drawn into the suction side
of the oil piping and pump. Slowly close and tighten the
bleed screw. Once closed, the flame will light up.

3.3.2 Pressure adjustment

The oil pressure must be adjusted according to the
Technical Specifications of this manual. An adjustment
screw and a connection for a pressure gauge are located
on the oil pump for that purpose. Also refer to the burner
instruction manual.

11

3.3.3 Combustion Check

IMPORTANT

The heat exchanger metal surfaces may have oil and the
baffle insulation also contains binders. These products will
burn or evaporate when the unit operates for the first time.
Because of that, the smoke reading may be skewed during the
first minutes of operation. Therefore, the unit must operate
during at least 60 minutes before taking any readings to adjust
the combustion quality. Let the unit cool down before making
any adjustments.

IMPORTANT

The combustion check verification MUST be performed after
the nozzle replacement or the burner cleaning. After these
manipulations, the combustion parameters are necessarily
modified. Refer also to the burner instruction manual.

1. Pierce a test hole in the flue pipe, approximately 18 inches

from the furnace breech. Insert the smoke test probe into
the hole. For installation using a sidewall venting, use the
orifice provided on the breech plate;

2. From a cold start, let the unit operate for about 5 minutes;

3. Set the burner air setting until you have between 0 and 1

on the Bacharach Scale (or a ‘’trace’’);

4. Take a CO

#1 smoke reading was taken and make note of it.
Example: 13.8% of CO

5. Adjust the burner air setting to obtain a CO

lower (or a O
associated with the ‘’trace’’ of smoke. Example: 12.3% of
CO

or 4.5% of O2;

2

6. This method of adjusting the burner will result in clean

combustion (Bacharach smoke scale between 0 and a
‘’trace’’) and ensure the proper functioning of the system.
The optimum CO

5.0% of O

3.3.4 Draft Regulator adjustment

On chimney installations only, a barometric draft regulator
(supplied with the furnace) must be installed, in order to ensure
proper draft through the furnace. The barometric damper must
be mounted with the hinge pins in a horizontal position and the
face of the damper vertical for proper functioning (see
instructions included with the damper.) After the furnace has
been firing for at least five minutes, the draft regulator should
be set to between -0.025" and -0.060" W.C.

3.3.5

Overfire pressure test

The overfire draft that is taken through the observation port,
located above the burner, is a measurement necessary to
determine if there is a blockage in the heat exchanger or the
flue pipe. Refer to the Technical Specifications in this manual
for overfire pressure values. A high pressure condition may be
caused by excessive combustion air, due to the air band being
too wide open, or a lack of flue draft (chimney effect) or some
other blockage, such as soot in the secondary section of the
heat exchanger or the use of an oversize nozzle input or high
pressure pump.

3.3.6 Vent Temperature Test

1. After having adjusted the burner combustion, insert a

thermometer into the test hole in the breech pipe;

sample at the same test location where the

2

or 2.5% of O2;

2

reading 1.5%

reading 2.0% higher) than the reading

2

level is around 12% to 13% (or 3.5% to

2

).

2

2

2. The total vent temperature should be between 204

and 302°C (400 and 575°F). If not, check for improper
air temperature rise, pump pressure, nozzle size or a
badly sooted heat exchanger.

CAUTION

Low flue gas temperatures increase the risk of
condensation. Adjust the total

temperature at or higher
then 204°C (400°F) in order for the heat exchanger
warranty to remain in force.

3.3.7 Supply Air Temperature Rise Test

1. Operate the burner for at least 10 minutes;

2. Measure the air temperature in the return air plenum;

3. Measuring the air temperature in the largest trunk

coming off the supply air plenum, just outside the
range of radiant heat from the heat exchanger. 0.3 m
(12") from the plenum of the main take-off is usually
sufficient;

4. The temperature rise is calculated by subtracting the

return air temperature from the supply air
temperature;

5. If the temperature rise is lower or exceeds the

temperature specified in Table 6, change to the next
lower or higher blower speed tap, until the
temperature rise falls to the target. If the excessive
temperature rise cannot be increased or reduced by
changing fan speed, investigate for ductwork
obstructions, dirty or improper air filter, improper firing
caused by improper pump pressure or nozzle sizing.

3.3.8 Limit Control Check

After operating the furnace for at least 15 minutes, restrict
the return air supply by blocking the filters or the return air
register and allow the furnace to shut off on High Limit.
The burner will shut off but the blower will continue to run.

Remove the obstruction and the burner should restart
after a few minutes. The time required for the restart also
depends on the adjustment of the blower “OFF” delay.

3.3.9 Restart after Burner Failure

1. Set the thermostat lower than room temperature;

2. Press the reset button on the burner primary control

(relay);

3. Set the thermostat higher than room temperature;

4. If the burner motor does not start or ignition fails, turn

off the disconnect switch and CALL A QUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN.

CAUTION

Do not attempt to start the burner when excess oil has
accumulated, when the furnace is full of vapour or when
the combustion chamber is hot.

4 MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Electrical shock hazard.
Turn OFF power and fuel to the furnace before any

disassembly or servicing.
Failure to do so can result in death, bodily injury and/or

property damage.

Preventive maintenance is the best way to avoid unnecessary
expense and inconvenience. Have your heating system and
burner inspected by a qualified service technician at regular
intervals.

To maintain the reliability and optimal performance of the
furnace, have a complete combustion check done after the
annual maintenance call. Do not attempt to repair the furnace
or its controls. Call a qualified service technician.

Before calling for repair service check the following points:

1. Check the oil tank gauge and make sure that the valve is
open;

2. Check fuses and the circuit breaker;

3. Check if the main disconnect switch is ON ;

4. Set the thermostat above room temperature;

5. If ignition does not occur, turn off the disconnect switch
and call a qualified service technician.

When ordering replacement parts, please specify the
complete furnace model number and serial number.

4.1 CLEANING THE HEAT EXCHANGER

It is not generally necessary to clean the heat exchanger or
flue pipe every year, but it is advisable to have the oil burner
service technician check the unit before each heating season
to determine whether the cleaning or replacement of parts is
necessary.

If a cleaning is necessary, the following steps should be
performed:

1. Turn OFF all utilities upstream from the furnace;

2. Disconnect the flue pipe;

3. Remove the flue collar panel located at the front of the
furnace;

4. Remove the heat exchanger baffles;

5. Disconnect the oil line and remove the oil burner;

6. Clean the secondary tubes and the primary cylinder with a
stiff brush and a vacuum cleaner;

7. Before re-assembling the unit, the heat exchanger and
combustion chamber should be inspected to determine if
replacement is required;

8. After the cleaning replace the heat exchanger baffles, flue
collar plate and oil burner;

9. Readjust the burner for proper operation.

13

4.2 CLEANING THE BLOCKED VENT
SHUT-OFF

For continuous safe operation, the Blocked Vent Shut-off
device (BVSO) must be inspected and maintained annually
by a qualified service technician.

1. Disconnect power to the appliance;

2. Remove the two screws holding on the BVSO

assembly cover;

3. Remove the cover;

4. Remove the two screws holding the control box to the

heat transfer tube assembly. Sliding the control box in
the appropriate direction will unlock it from the heat
transfer tube assembly;

5. Carefully remove any build-up from the thermal switch

surface;

DEVICE (BVSO)

CAUTION

Do not dent or scratch the surface of the thermal switch. If
the thermal switch is damaged it MUST be replaced.

6. Clean and remove any build-up or obstruction inside

the heat transfer tube;

7. Re-mount, lock and fasten the control box with the 2

screws removed in step 4;

8. Re-attach the assembly cover with the screws removed

in step 2;

9. Re-establish power to the unit.

4.3 CLEANING OF THE BURNER HEAD

Once annually, remove the retention head and electrodes
from the drawer assembly and remove all foreign matter, if
necessary. Also clean the extremity of the burner tube, if
necessary.

4.4 CHANGING THE NOZZLE

Change the nozzle once a year with the one specified in
Table 6.

4.5 CHANGING THE OIL FILTER

Tank Filter

The tank filter should be changed as required. Follow the
manufacturer’s instructions.

Secondary Filter

The 10 micron, or finer, filter cartridge should be changed
annually. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions.

4.6 CHANGING THE AIR FILTER

Dirty filters have an impact on the efficiency of the furnace
and increase fuel consumption.

Air filters should be changed at least once a year. Very
dusty conditions, the presence of animal hair and the like
will require more frequent changing or cleaning.
