ST7997
Oil Burner Mounted Electric Fan Timer
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
The ST7997 Oil Burner Mounted Electric Fan Timer
integrates control of burner and circulator fan operations in
an oil furnace and is the central wiring point for most
electrical components in the furnace. The ST7997 mounts
on a standard four-inch by four-inch junction box typically
located on the oil burner. When used with the R7997
Integrated Oil Primary Controller and Ignitor, it provides
simplified wiring and field serviceability. The basic
purposes of the ST7997 are to monitor the thermostat for
heat, cool and fan demands, run the oil burner primary
control and run a two-speed circulating fan, as required.
The ST7997 also monitors a limit switch string that
energizes the circulating fan when the limit switch opens.
The ST7997 provides electronic air cleaner (EAC) and
humidifier (HUM) terminal connections for field installation
convenience.

IMPORTANT
Timer typical installation.
The ST7997 requires a mechanical or electronic
(power-stealing or battery-powered) five-wire
thermostat with independent heat/cool circuits
(R, W, Rc, Y, G).
Wiring
All wire must comply with local codes and ordinances.
Refer to Fig. 3 for standard wiring connections and Fig. 4
for units with pre- and post purge.
Make wiring connections within the oil burner junction box
for applications requiring power-venting. Add a 4 in. by
4 in. (102 mm by 102 mm) junction box, at least 1/2 in.
(13 mm) deep between the ST7997 and the oil burner
junction box. See Fig. 5 for wiring diagram showing airflow
switch and power vent motor.
