R8184G PROTECTORELAY
OIL PRIMARY
APPLICATION
The TRADELINE intermittent ignition oil primary control
operates the oil burner, oil valve (if desired) and the ignition
transformer in response to a call for heat from the thermostat. Through a C554 Cad Cell Flame Sensor, the R8184
monitors the burner flame and shuts down the system on
ignition failure or on flame failure during the run cycle. A light
emitting diode (LED) on the terminal strip lights when the
safety switch opens to provide safety shutdown indication.
A manual reset button is provided to reset the safety switch
after lockout.
For convenience in system maintenance, the safety
switch can be manually opened using a lever on the front of
the control. Clock thermostats that power the clock through
the primary control transformer will lose time during lockout
unless backup batteries are installed.
R8184G is component recognized by Underwriters Laboratories Inc. and meets their flammability test requirements
for a final enclosure.

LOCATION
1. Mount on a 4 x 4 inch junction box, directly on the main
burner, or inside the appliance cabinet. In replacement
applications, mount in the same location as the old control.
2. Ensure the operating temperatures are within the ambient temperature range. Ambient temperature ranges are
either -40° to 130° F [-40° C to 54° C] or -40° F to 150° F
[-40° C to 66° C] (Refer to box label).
MAKE WIRING CONNECTIONS AND MOUNT CONTROL
Wiring must comply with all local codes and ordinances.
Before mounting the control, make line voltage connections as shown in Fig. 1 or 2. Splice leads with solderless
connectors. Do not exceed load ratings shown on the device
label.
If cad cell leads are run with line voltage wires, breakout
knockout at the bottom of the low voltage terminal strip and
thread can cell leads through the hole.
If necessary use control as a template to mark and drill new
mounting holes. Mount using No. 6 screws (obtain locally).

Mount control as shown in Fig. 1 or 2. After mounting,
make low voltage connections to the screw terminals. Strip
leads 3/8 in. [10 mm] and insert under terminal screw. See
Fig. 1 or 2. Connect cad cell leads to F-F terminals and
thermostat leads to T-T terminals. See Fig. 3 or 4.
CHECKOUT
START SYSTEM
WARNING
Fire hazard.
Can cause severe burns.
Make sure combustion chamber is free of oil or oil
vapor before starting system.
1. Push in and release red reset button.
2. Open hand valve in oil supply line.
3. Make sure system is powered. Check circuit
breaker or fuse and close system switch, if
provided.
4. Set thermostat to call for heat.
5. Burner should light and operate until call for
heat ends.
CHECK SAFETY FEATURES
Simulate flame failure:
1. Follow starting procedure to turn on burner.
2. Close hand valve in oil supply line.
3. Safety switch should lock out approximately in safety
switch timing indicated on label. Indicator light should come
on. Ignition and motor should stop and oil valve should
close.
Simulate ignition failure:
1. Follow starting procedure to turn on burner, except do
not open oil supply hand valve.
2. Safety switch should lock out in safety switch timing
(see label). Indicator light should come on. Ignition and
motor should stop and oil valve should close.
Simulate power failure:
1. Follow starting procedure to turn on burner.
2. With burner running, trip circuit breaker or remove
fuse to turn off power to the system.
3. Burner should stop.
4. Restore power. Burner should restart.
If system does not operate as described, proceed to
Troubleshooting.
TROUBLESHOOTING AND
MAINTENANCE
This control contains no field-serviceable parts. Do
not attempt to take it apart. Replace entire control if
operation is not as described.
PRELIMINARY STEPS
1. Check wiring connections and power supply. Make
sure power is on to the controls, burner motor, and ignition
transformer.
2. Make sure limit control is closed.
CHECK OIL PRIMARY RELAY
NOTE: You’ll need an insulated jumper wire with both ends
stripped.
1. Disconnect cad cell leads from F-F terminals.
2. Reset safety switch and set thermostat to call for heat.
Burner should start.
3. Within safety switch timing, jumper F-F terminals with
insulated jumper wire. Burner should continue to run.
4. After safety switch timing, remove jumper. Burner
should shut down in safety switch timing.
5. If operation is not as described, replace oil primary
control.
