ST9103A
Electronic Fan Timer
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
APPLICATION
The ST9103A Electronic Fan Timer integrates control of all
burner and circulator fan operations in an oil furnace. This
control is the central wiring point for most of the electrical
components in the furnace. The basic purposes of the
ST9103A are to monitor the thermostat for heat, cool, and fan
demands and run the oil burner primary control and up to a
two-speed circulating fan as required. The ST9103A also
monitors a limit switch string, which energizes the circulating
fan whenever the limit switch opens.
Electronic air cleaner and humidifier convenience terminal
connections may be provided as an option. A means for
operating continuous indoor air circulation is also available as
an option.

Location and Mounting
The ST9103A is mounted in the appliance wiring
compartment using four No. 6 screws (obtained locally)
through standoffs on the corners of the board.
Wiring
All wiring must comply with local codes and ordinances.
Disconnect power before making wiring connections. Refer to
Fig. 1 for standard wiring connections. Refer to Fig. 2 for an
internal schematic.
Setting the Heat Fan Off Delay Switches
Set the heat fan off delay switches to either 60, 90, 120, or
150 seconds, as shown in Fig. 3. The off delay time starts
when the burner motor is de-energized at the end of a
thermostat call for heat.
CHECKOUT
Envrionmental Ratings:
Temperature: -40 to +150° F [-40° to +66° C].
Humidity: 95% maximun, noncondensing.
INSTALLATION
When Installing this Product...
1. Read these instructions carefully. Failure to follow them
could damage the product or cause a hazardous
condition.

Assure the system operates properly by operating the system
through at least one complete heating cycle and cooling
cycle, if applicable. Troubleshoot by checking for appropriate
voltages at the ST9103A terminals controlling the burner
motor and heat and cool speed circulating fan. The ST9103A
schematic shows internal switching to clarify operation and
assist in troubleshooting. See Fig. 2.

ST9103 Operating Sequence.
Action System Response
Thermostat calls for heat.
(W terminal is energized.)
• ST9103A closes oil primary control T-T connections.
• Ignition system and oil primary control start the furnace. Oil flows as long as
oil primary control senses flame.
• Burner motor is energized and heat fan on delay timing begins. When timing
is complete, the circulating fan is energized at heat speed and warm air is
delivered to the controlled space.
Thermostat ends call for heat.
(W terminal is de-energized.)
• Oil primary control is de-energized, terminating the burner cycle.
• Heat fan off delay timing begins. When timing is complete, the circulating
fan is de-energized.
• ST9103A returns to standby mode (oil primary control and circulating
fan are off).
Burner fails to light. • Oil primary control locks out within lockout timing (timing depends on oil
primary control).
• Burner motor is de-energized.
• If heat fan has started, it continues through the selected delay off period.
Established flame fails. • Burner motor is de-energized and oil primary control goes into recycle mode.
• If selected heat fan off delay is longer than the recycle delay timing, the
heat fan continues to run through the next trial for ignition.
Thermostat begins call for cool.
(G and Y terminals are energized.)
Thermostat ends call for cool.
• Circulating fan is energized at cool speed.
• Cooling compressor turns on immediately.
• Circulating fan and cooling compressor turn off immediately.
(G and Y terminals are de-energized.)
Thermostat begins call for fan.
(G terminal is energized.)
• Circulating fan is energized immediately at cool speed.
• ST9103A maybe factory-configured to operate heat speed in this mode.
