The R7284B,P,U,G Electronic Oil Primary is a line
voltage, safety rated, interrupted and intermittent ignition
oil primary control for residential oil fired burners used in
boilers, forced air furnaces and water heaters. The
R7284B,P,U,G used with a cad cell flame sensor
operates an oil burner, spark igniter, and optional oil
valve. The control works with a low voltage and optional
high voltage thermostat. The primary controls fuel oil,
senses flame, controls ignition spark (either interrupted
or intermittent) and notifies through the EnviraCOM™
bus a remote alarm circuit when in lockout.
The R7284 Series of Oil Primary Controls can be used
with both hydronic and forced air systems. When used
with hydronic systems, line voltage switching Aquastat®
Controllers normally provide for the starting and stopping
of the combustion sequences. With forced air systems,
both mechanical and electronic low voltage thermostats
control the starting and stopping of the combustion
process.
Some hydronic and forced air systems require a delayed
valve-on and burner motor-off delay. The R7284
operates an oil valve that prevents the flow of oil when
the burner motor is running prior to combustion (delayed
valve-on) and when the burner motor is running after
combustion (burner motor-off delay).
The R7284 models are intended for use only on oil
burning appliances which do not require prepurge and
post-purge as a safety related function as defined in
UL296. The valve-on delay and burner motor-off delay in
this control are intended only to help establish draft and
reduce oil after-drip related problems.
EnviraCOM™ enabled R7284’s can be used with
EnviraLink® remote monitoring systems and hand-held
diagnostics. Use only R7284P and U models for
networking with other EnviraCOM™ enabled devices.
FEATURES
The advanced interface has a two-line display used to
configure device parameters, retrieve diagnostic
information, and display system status.
The basic interface has a single LED used to display
error codes and system status.
In general, the “i” button cycles through the display
options and acts as an “enter” key (in setup modes).
Thermostat(s)
The oil primaries are compatible with both standard
thermostats and EnviraCOM™ communicating
thermostats.
Limited Recycle
This feature limits the number of recycle trials (for each
call for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If the flame is
lost three times and does not successfully satisfy a call
for heat, the R7284 locks out.
Pump Priming Cycle
To facilitate purging air from the oil lines and filters, the
R7284 can be placed in a purge routine by pressing and
releasing the up arrow button during the Trial For
Ignition.
In the advanced interface “PUMP PRIME” is displayed
on the display along with the time left on the Trial for
Ignition (TFI). Pressing the up arrow button adds a
minute to the TFI time for a maximum of 10 additional
minutes (press the up arrow button 10 times). Pressing
the down arrow button subtracts a minute from the TFI
time.
There is no visual indication for the basic interface
control and the purge timing is limited to five minutes.
Disable Function
Pressing and holding the “i” button will disable all control
functions until 3 seconds after the button is released.
User Interface
There are two user interfaces: basic and advanced. Both
interfaces consist of three buttons: , , and “i.”
Lockout Modes
The R7284 has three types of lockout modes that are
entered when an error is encountered:
• Soft Lockout: Caused by a temporary internal error
such as low voltage. The control recovers
automatically after the error is no longer detected.
• Hard Lockout: Caused by a failure internal to the
control or by a system fault such as flame out of
sequence. A Hard Lockout will result in a no heat
condition. To reset from Hard Lockout press and hold
the “i” button for 2 seconds.
• Restricted Lockout: Caused by a number of
consecutive hard lockouts on the same heat cycle. To
reset from a Restricted Lockout press and hold the “i”
button for ten seconds.
Cad Cell Resistance
Cad cell resistance can be checked without using an ohm
meter.
Basic Interface:
Press and release the “i” button. The resulting flashes
indicate the resistance. See Table 3.
Advanced Interface:
The cad cell resistance is shown on the display.
Valve-on Delays/Blower Motor-off
Delays
Select models may have fixed or adjustable delays for
valve open or blower motor off. The safety circuits will
check for flame during these delays and, if a flame is
present, will switch the control to lockout.
SPECIFICATIONS
Models:
Table 1 lists the major features for the R7284.
Timing :
Valve-on Delay: 0–30 seconds
Burner Off Delay: 0–8 minutes
1. Mount on a 4 in. by 4 in. junction box, directly on the
main burner, or inside the appliance cabinet. In
replacement applications, mount in the same
location as the old control. See Fig. 1. Make sure
the operating temperatures are within the ambient
temperature range (see Specifications section).
2. Before mounting the control, make line voltage connections as shown in Fig. 2 through 10. Splice lines
with solderless connectors. Do not exceed load ratings shown on the device label.
3. If necessary, use the control as a template to mark
and drill new mounting holes.
4. Mount the device using No. 6 screws (not included).
WIRING
Electrical Shock Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property
damage.
Disconnect power supply before beginning wiring
to prevent electrical shock or equipment damage.
More than one disconnect may be involved.
1. Make sure wiring complies with all local codes and
ordinances.
2. Check to make sure that line voltage wiring is
properly connected. Refer to oil primary label and
appliance wiring diagram for color codes.
3. After mounting make low voltage connections to the
screw terminals (see Fig. 2 through 10).
4. Strip leads 3/8 in. (10 mm) and insert under terminal
screw.
5. Connect thermostat leads to T-T (or 1, 2, 3 if
EnviraCOM™ is present), if required by installation.

CHECKOUT
Start System
Fire or Explosion Hazard.
Can cause severe injury, death or property
damage.
Make sure the combustion chamber is free of oil
and/or oil vapor before starting system.
1. Open hand valve in oil supply line.
2. Make sure system is powered. Check circuit
breaker or fuse and close system switch, if
provided.
3. Set thermostat to call for heat.
4. Make sure burner lights and operates until call for
heat ends. Note cad cell resistance while running.
5. Verify that burner turns off when thermostat call for
heat is satisfied.
