WARNING
This boiler is suitable for installation on combustible ooring. Do not install boiler on carpeting.
Installation is not complete unless a pressure relief valve is installed into the tapping located on top left
corner of rear section - See Piping and Trim Sections of this manual for details.
This boiler is designed to burn No. 2 fuel oil only. Do not use gasoline, crankcase drainings, or any oil
containing gasoline. Never burn garbage or paper in this boiler. Do not convert to any solid fuel (i.e.
wood, coal). Do not convert to any gaseous fuel (i.e. natural gas, LP). All ammable debris, rags, paper,
wood scraps, etc., should be kept clear of the boiler at all times. Keep the boiler area clean and free of
re hazards.
This boiler needs fresh air for safe operation and must be installed so there are provisions for adequate
combustion and ventilation air.
This boiler must be connected to an approved chimney in good condition. Serious property damage
could result if the boiler is connected to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of the chimney ue
must be inspected and cleaned before the start of the heating season for any obstructions. A clean and
unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to allow noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss of life to
vent safely and will contribute toward maintaining the boiler's efciency.
Inspect ueways at least once a year - preferably at the start of the heating season. The inside of
the combustion chamber, the vent system and boiler ueways should be cleaned if soot or scale has
accumulated.
When cleaning this boiler, do not damage combustion chamber liner and/or rear target wall. If damaged,
combustion chamber insulation must be replaced immediately.
This boiler requires regular maintenance and service to operate safely. Follow the instructions contained
in this manual. Installation, maintenance, and service must be performed only by an experienced, skilled
and knowledgeable installer or service agency.
It is the responsibility of the installing contractor to see that all controls are correctly installed and
are operating properly when the installation is completed. Do not tamper with or alter the boiler or
controls.
Do not operate unit if any control, switch, component, or device has been subject to water.
Oil Burner and Controls must be checked at least once a year or as may be necessitated.
All boilers equipped with burner swing door have a potential hazard which if ignored can cause severe
property damage, personal injury or loss of life. Before opening swing door, turn off service switch to
boiler to prevent accidental ring of burner outside the combustion chamber. Be sure to tighten swing
door fastener completely when service is completed.
Appliance materials of construction, products of combustion and the fuel contain alumina, silica, heavy
metals, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxides, aldehydes and/or other toxic or harmful substances which
can cause death or serious injury and which are known to the state of California to cause cancer, birth
defects and other reproductive harm. Always use proper safety clothing, respirators and equipment when
servicing or working nearby the appliance.
High water temperatures increase the risk of scalding injury. If this boiler is equipped with a tankless
heater for domestic water supply, a ow regulator and automatic mixing valve must be installed properly
in tankless heater piping. See Piping and Trim Sections of the manual for details.

1. Remove all fasteners at crate skid.
2. Lift outside container and remove all other
inside protective spacers and bracing. Remove
miscellaneous water trim carton.
3. Using hand truck or pipe rollers under skid, move
boiler into position along side installation site.
B. REMOVAL OF BOILER FROM SKID
1. Boiler is secured to base with 4 carriage bolts, 2 on
left side and 2 on right side. See Figure 3. Remove
all bolts.
Figure 3: Removal of Boiler From Skid
2. Tilt boiler to right and to rear. Using right rear leg
as pivot, rotate boiler 90° in a clockwise direction,
and lower left side of boiler to oor. Tilt boiler
and remove crate skid. Care should be exercised to
prevent damage to jacket or burner.
C. MOVE BOILER TO PERMANENT POSITION by
sliding or walking.
D. INSPECT COMBUSTION TARGET WALL AND
COMBUSTION CHAMBER LINER
1. OPEN FLAME OBSERVATION DOOR AND/
OR BURNER SWING DOOR on front of boiler.
Use ashlight to inspect target wall secured to
rear section with silastic sealant. Inspect ceramic
ber blanket secured to oor of boiler with water
glass adhesive. If either is damaged they must be
replaced.
E. INSTALL TRIM AND CONTROLS, AS REQUIRED
(see Figure 1a or 1b)
1. Install return piping supplied with boiler. Apply
Teon or Sealant to all joints prior to assembly.
Thread 1½" NPT x 5" Lg. return nipple into 1½"
NPT tapping located in lower left corner of front
8
section. Thread 1½" x ¾" x 1½" NPT tee onto
5" nipple. Thread ¾" drain valve into ¾" NPT
connection on tee. Tighten all joints with wrench
until water tight and 1½" NPT return connection on
tee is facing away from boiler horizontally to allow
for proper burner swing door clearance, see Figures
1 and 4.
NOTE: Vertical piping will prevent door from opening
fully for service and cleaning of boiler.
2. Thread relief valve onto factory installed ¾" NPT
x 7¼" nipple located in left rear corner on top of
boiler as shown in Figure 1a or 1b. Valve spindle
must be in vertical position. Tighten with wrench.
Pipe discharge as shown in Figure 4. Installation
of the relief valve must be consistent with ANSI/
ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section IV.
F. CONNECT SUPPLY AND RETURN PIPING TO
HEATING SYSTEM.
1. CLEARANCES — Hot water pipes shall have
clearances of at least ½” from all combustible
construction.
2. See Figure 4 FOR PIPING. Also, consult
Residential Hydronic Heating Installation and
Design I=B=R Guide.
3. Use a boiler water bypass if the boiler is to be
operated in a system which has a large volume
or excessive radiation where low boiler water
temperature may be encountered (i.e. converted
gravity circulation system, etc.).
Install a pipe tee between the circulator and boiler
return along with a second tee in the supply piping
as shown in Figure 4. The bypass should be the
same size as the supply and return lines. Locate
valves in the bypass and supply outlet as illustrated
in Figure 4 for regulation of water ow to maintain
higher boiler water temperature.
Set the by-pass and boiler supply valves to a half
throttle position to start. Operate boiler until the
system water temperature is a normal operating
range.
Adjust the valves to provide 180° to 200°F supply
water temperature. Opening the boiler supply
valves will raise the system temperature, while
opening the bypass valve will lower the system
supply temperature.
4. If this boiler is connected to heating coils located
in air handling units where they may be exposed to
refrigerated air the boiler piping must be equipped
with ow control valves to prevent gravity
circulation of boiler water during the operation of
the cooling system.
Figure 4: Recommended Boiler Piping for Series Loop Hot Water System
5. If this boiler is used in connection with refrigeration
systems, the boiler must be installed so that the
chilled medium is piped in parallel with the heating
boiler using appropriate valves to prevent the
chilled medium from entering the boiler, see Figure
6. A hot water boiler installed above radiation level
must be provided with a low water cutoff device as
part of the installation. See Section X, Low Water
Cut-Off for additional details.
7. Oxygen Contamination:
a. There are many possible causes of oxygen
contamination such as:
i.Addition of excessive make-up water as a
result of system leaks.
ii. Absorption through open tanks and ttings.
iii. Oxygen permeable materials in the
distribution system.
b. In order to insure long product life, oxygen
sources should be eliminated. This can be
accomplished by taking the following measures:
i.Repairing system leaks to eliminate the need
for addition of make-up water.
ii. Eliminating open tanks from the system.
iii. Eliminating and/or repairing ttings which
allow oxygen absorption.
iv. Use of non-permeable materials in the
distribution system.
v. Isolating the boiler from the system water by
installing a heat exchanger.
See Section VI, Paragraph B for additional details.

Heating & Cooling (Refrigeration) Systems
CAUTION
Oxygen contamination of the boiler water
will cause corrosion of iron and steel boiler
components, and can lead to boiler failure. RRO's
Standard Warranty does not cover problems
caused by oxygen contamination of boiler water
or scale (lime) build-up caused by frequent
addition of water.

during “off” periods when it is possible for heat
to be conducted back through the supply line. The
ow regulator also limits the ow of supply water
regardless of inlet pressure variations in the range of
20 to 125 psi.
2. TEMPERING OF HOT WATER — Installation
of an automatic mixing valve will lengthen the
delivery of the available hot water by mixing some
cold water with the hot. This prevents excessive
and possibly scalding hot water at the xtures. In
addition, savings of hot water will be achieved since
the user will not waste as much hot water while
seeking water temperature to his liking. Higher
temperature hot water required by dishwashers and
automatic washers is possible by piping the hot
water from the heater prior to entering the mixing
valve. The mixing valve should be “trapped” by
installing it below the cold water inlet to heater to
prevent lime formation in the valve.

Figure 6: Schematic Tankless Heater Piping
THE FOLLOWING GUIDELINES SHOULD BE FOLLOWED WHEN PIPING THE TANKLESS HEATER:
1. FLOW REGULATION — If ow through the heater
is greater than its rating, the supply of adequate hot
water may not be able to keep up with the demand.
For this reason a ow regulator matching the heater
rating should be installed in the cold water line to
the heater. The ow regulator should preferably be
located below the inlet to the heater and a minimum
of 3’ away from the inlet so that the regulator is not
subjected to excess temperatures that may occur
WARNING
Install automatic mixing valve at tankless heater
outlet to avoid risk of burns or scalding due to
excessively hot water at xtures. Adjust and
maintain the mixing valve in accordance with the
manufacturer's instructions.
3. FLUSHING OF HEATER — All water contains
some sediment which settles on the inside of the
coil. Consequently, the heater should be periodically
backwashed. This is accomplished by installing
hose bibs as illustrated and allowing water at city
pressure to run into hose bib A, through the heater,
and out hose bib B until the discharge is clear. The
tees in which the hose bibs are located should be
the same size as heater connections to minimize
pressure drop.
4. HARD WATER — A water analysis is necessary to
determine the hardness of your potable water. This
is applicable to some city water and particularly to
well water. An appropriate water softener should
be installed based on the analysis and dealer’s
recommendation. This is not only benecial to the
tankless heater but to piping and xtures plus the
many other benets derived from soft water.
10
WARNING
Vent this boiler according to these instructions. Failure to do so may cause products of combustion to
enter the home resulting in severe property damage, personal injury or death.
Insufcient Combustion Air Supply may result in the production and release of deadly carbon
monoxide (CO) into the home which can cause severe personal injury or death.
Improper venting may result in property damage and the release of ue gases which contain deadly
carbon monoxide (CO) into the home, which can cause severe personal injury, death, or substantial
property damage.
Inspect existing chimney and vent connector for obstructions and deterioration before installing
boiler. Failure to clean or replace perforated pipe or chimney liner will cause severe injury or death.
Do not de-rate the appliance. Failure to re the boiler at it's designed input may cause excessive
condensation upon the interior walls of the chimney. In addition, the lower input may not create
enough draft to adequately evacuate the by-products of combustion.
H. CHIMNEY VENTING
1. Chimney venting is an important part of a safe
and efcient oil red appliance system. Contact
your local re and building ofcials on specic
requirements for restrictions and the installation of
fuel oil burning equipment. In addition, consult with
a professional knowledgeable on the requirements of
NFPA 31 – Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning
Equipment and NFPA 211 - Standard for Chimneys,
Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances
for installations in the United States. Installations
in Canada must be reviewed with a professional
knowledgeable on the requirements of CSA B139 –
Installation Code for Oil-burning Equipment.
2. The safe venting of oil red boilers is dependant on
many factors. Some of these factors include:
a. sufcient draft during the entire heating season
to allow for the safe discharge of combustion byproducts and;
b. suitable corrosion protection in the event of
condensing ue gases. Only a trained and qualied
contractor may install this product.
3. The RRO shall be vented into any of the following:
a. Masonry or metal chimney. Build and install in
accordance with local buildings codes; or local
authority having jurisdiction; or “Standards
for Chimney, Fireplace, Vents, and Solid Fuel
Burning Appliances”, ANSI/NFPA 211 and/or
National Building Code of Canada. Masonry
chimney must be lined with listed chimney
system. Listed clay ue lined masonry chimneys
meet venting requirements.
• External chimneys are more susceptible to
ue gas condensation due to colder outside
air temperatures. To prevent corrosion
due to ue gas condensation, use a listed
corrosion-resistant metal liner in chimney.
Figure 7: Recommended Smokepipe Arrangement
and Chimney Requirements
• Oversized chimneys are more susceptible
to ue gas condensation. To reduce the
likelihood of ue gas condensation and
ensure proper draft, use a properly sized
listed metal liner in oversized chimney.
4. Chimney Inspection – Prior to the installation of
any new or replacement fuel burning equipment the
chimney shall be inspected by a qualied installer.
The chimney shall be inspected for integrity as
well as for proper draft and condensate control.
Some jurisdictions require the use of a liner when
changing fuel types. Some jurisdictions require
the use of a liner even when the same fuel is used.
At a minimum, the chimney shall be examined
by a qualied person in accordance with the
requirements of Chapter 11 of NFPA 211, Standard
for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid FuelBurning Appliances.
11
a. Loose Mortar – Loose mortar could be an indication
of a prior history of condensing ue gases upon
the inside walls of the chimney. Colder climates
are more susceptible to this condition. Under no
circumstances shall a chimney of this condition be
used until it meets the requirements of NFPA 211
or CSA B139.
b. Unlined Chimney – Under no circumstances shall
a chimney constructed of brick only be used. Only
approved clay liners or listed chimney lining systems
shall be used as specied in NFPA 31 or CSA B139.
c. Abandoned Openings – Openings through the
chimney wall that are no longer used shall be sealed
in accordance to NFPA 211. Often abandoned
openings are improperly sealed and usually covered
by a gypsum wall covering.
d. Clean Chimney – Chimney shall be free of all loose
debris.
5. Draft Regulator – a draft regulator is not supplied with
the boiler. A draft regulator must be used with this
appliance. Refer to Figures 7 and 8.
CHIMNEY CONNECTOR
1. A chimney connector (vent pipe) is used to connect
the boiler to the base of the chimney. The chimney
connector should be kept as short as possible. The
horizontal length of the chimney connector shall not
be greater than 10 feet.
DANGER
The chimney and connector shall be inspected
annually for signs of debris and corrosion. Loose
mortar at the base of the chimney may be a sign
of condensate damage to the chimney. A chimney
professional shall be contacted immediately to
examine the damage and recommend a solution.
Long term operation while in this condition may
cause a venting failure and force ue gases into
the living space. If the chimney is to be re-lined
use the recommendations in NFPA 31, Appendix E
or CSA B139.
2. Vent Connector shall be any of the following and of
the same size as the outlet of boiler.
a. Type L or a factory built chimney material that
complies with the Type HT requirements of
ANSI/UL 103. Install in accordance with listing
and manufacturer’s instructions.
b. Steel pipe having resistance to corrosion and
heat with a minimum wall thickness of 24 Gauge
(0.024”).
12
Figure 8: Proper and Improper Locations of Draft Regulator
DANGER
Any signs of condensate seepage at the base of
the chimney shall be inspected immediately. The
discoloration may be a sign of chimney damage
and must be remedied immediately.
DRAFT
1. The natural draft generated through a chimney is
dependent on several factors including, chimney
height, temperature of ue gases, cross section area of
chimney, chimney wall insulation value, dilution air and
total volume of ue gases, to name a few. Make sure
that the boiler has been running for at least 5 minutes
before measuring the draft.
2. Minimum Draft Overre – The draft induced by a
chimney must create at least a pressure of -0.02 inches
water column (“ w.c.). The pressure at the canopy
cannot be positive since this could create a condition
that allows ue gas by-products to escape from the
draft regulator. A negative pressure reading up to -.03
inches water column is acceptable for proper operation.
STACK TEMPERATURE
1. The temperature of the ue gases has a signicant effect
on the amount of draft created in a vertical chimney as
well as the propensity to create condensate. The higher
the stack temperature, the greater the amount of draft
that can be generated. A lower stack temperature not
only reduces the amount of draft that can be created
but it also increases the possibility that the ue gases
could condense in the chimney connector or stack.
2. NFPA 31 and CSA B139 have information to help
the installer make an appropriate choice of venting
materials. In some cases a chimney may have to be lined
to create sufcient draft. In other cases, the chimney
may have to be lined to prevent the corrosion of a
masonry chimney. Consult with a chimney specialist
knowledgeable on the requirements for chimney
requirements in your area.
CAUTION
Any doubt on the condition of a chimney or it’s
ability to prevent the generation and accumulation
of ue gas condensate, must be relined according
to NFPA 31 (United States) or CSA B139 (Canada).
CAUTION
Use the chimney venting tables as a guide. It
is highly recommended that any borderline
application should result in the relining of
the chimney with a suitable liner that creates
sufcient draft and to protect against corrosion
caused by ue gas condensate.
I. INSPECT NOZZLE, ELECTRODES INSERTION

J. FUEL UNITS AND OIL LINES
SINGLE-PIPE OIL LINES Standard burners are
provided with single-stage 3450 rpm fuel units with the
by-pass plug removed for single-pipe installations.
The single-stage fuel unit may be installed single-pipe
with gravity feed or lift. Maximum allowable lift is 8
feet. See Figure 10.
IMPORTANT
Single-pipe installations must be absolutely
airtight or leaks or loss of prime may result. Bleed
line and fuel unit completely.
TWO-PIPE OIL LINES For two-pipe systems
where more lift is required, the two-stage fuel unit is

5. CHECKOUT
Put the system into operation and observe at least
one complete cycle to make sure that the controller
operates properly. See Troubleshooting Section to
use LED to assist in determining system operation.
E. ADJUST OIL BURNER BEFORE STARTING.
1. CHECK BURNER SETTINGS and readjust if
necessary, see Table 13 in Section X.
a. Inspect burner head setting on left side of burner
housing by insuring the blue line MD(V1) or the
line on the label MB(L1) are aligned, readjust if
necessary. Refer to Figure 16 and Table 13 in
Section X.
b. Check burner air band and air shutter settings.
Readjust if necessary, see Burner Specications
Table 13 in Section X.
c. OPEN ALL OIL LINE VALVES.
d. Attach a plastic hose to fuel pump vent tting
and provide a pan to catch the oil.
e. OPEN FLAME OBSERVATION PORT
COVER on burner swing door.
CAUTION
Air Band is set for maximum input and must be
readjusted prior to starting burner, if nozzle was
changed to a lower ring rate.
F. START OIL BURNER.
1. Open vent tting on fuel pump.
2. TURN ‘ON’ BURNER service switch and
allow burner to run until oil ows from vent
tting in a SOLID stream without air bubbles for
approximately 10 seconds.
3. Close vent tting and burner ame should start
immediately after prepurge is completed. Prepurge
prevents burner ame until 10 seconds has elapsed
after initial power is applied to burner. During
prepurge the motor and igniter will operate but the
oil valve will remain closed. Refer to Oil Primary
Control Instructions for more details.
4. Adjust oil pressure.
a. When checking a fuel unit's operating pressure, a
reliable pressure gauge may be installed in either
the bleeder port or the nozzle port. For Beckett
burner refer to Figure 14.
Figure 14: Adjusting Fuel Pump Pressure
b. Locate oil pressure adjusting screw and turn
screw to obtain proper pump pressure, refer to
Table 13 in Section X.
c. To check the cutoff pressure, deadhead a reliable
pressure gauge onto the copper connector tube
attached to the nozzle port. Run the burner for
a short period of time. Shut the burner off. The
pressure should drop and hold.
d. Remove the gauge and install bleeder port and/or
reconnect the nozzle port line.
G. ADJUST OIL BURNER WHILE OPERATING.
(ame present)
1. SET ROOM THERMOSTAT about 10°F below
room temperature.
2. PRESS RED RESET BUTTON on Oil Primary
Control and release.
3. READJUST THE HEAD SETTING only if
necessary.
a. RRO080 thru RRO111:
Beckett MB(L1) Head burners have a xed head
which are non-adjustable.
b. RRO151 thru RRO179:
Beckett MD(V1) (variable) Head burners have
the ability to control air by moving the head. It
might be necessary to move the head forward
or back one position at a time to optimize the
smoke and CO2 readings. See Figure 16 and
Table 13 in Section X.
4. READJUST THE AIR DAMPER SETTING (air
Band/Air Shutter/Air Gate) on the burner for a
light orange colored ame while the draft over
the re is -0.02”. Use a smoke tester and adjust
air for minimum smoke (not to exceed #1) with a
minimum of excess air. Make nal check using
suitable instrumentation to obtain a CO
of 11.5
2
21
to 12.5% with draft of -0.02” (water gauge) in re
box. These settings will assure a safe and efcient
operating condition. If the ame appears stringy
instead of a solid re, try another nozzle of the same
type. Flame should be solid and compact. After all
adjustments are made, recheck for a draft of -0.02”
over the re.
5. ONLY READJUST THE HEAD/TURBULATOR
SETTING if necessary.
a. Move the setting forward or back one position at
a time to optimize the smoke and CO2 readings.
b. Steps outlined in Paragraph 3 and 4 above must
be repeated every time the Head/Turbulator or
Air Damper Setting is readjusted.
WARNING
DO NOT loosen or remove any oil line ttings
while burner is operating.
6 FLAME FAILURE
The RRO boiler controls operate the burner
automatically. If for unknown reasons the burner
ceases to re and the reset button on the primary
control has tripped, the burner has experienced
ignition failure. Refer to Oil Primary Control
features, Paragraph D, Step 2 of this Section and
Section VIII, Troubleshooting, Paragraph B. If
the failure re-occurs, call your heating contractor
immediately before pressing the reset button.
WARNING
DO NOT attempt to start the burner when excess
oil has accumulated, when the boiler is full of
vapor, or when the combustion chamber is very
hot.
7. CAD CELL LOCATION AND SERVICE
The burner is supplied with a cadmium sulde ame
detector mounted at the factory, mounted on the
bottom of the electronic ignitor. See Figure 15. To
service cad cell or to replace the plug in portion,
swing open the ignitor. After service is complete, be
sure to fasten down the ignitor.
H. CHECK FOR CLEAN CUT OFF OF
BURNER.
1. AIR IN THE OIL LINE between fuel unit and
nozzle will compress when burner is on and will
expand when burner stops, causing oil to squirt from
nozzle at low pressure as burner slows down and
causing nozzle to drip after burner stops. Usually
cycling the burner operation about 5 to 10 times will
rid oil line of this air.
2. IF NOZZLE CONTINUES TO DRIP, repeat
Paragraph H, Step 1 above. If this does not stop the
dripping, remove cut-off valve and seat, and wipe
both with a clean cloth until clean, then replace
and readjust oil pressure. If dripping or after burn
persist replace fuel pump.
I. TEST CONTROLS.
1. Check thermostat operation. Raise and lower
thermostat setting as required to start and stop
burner.
WARNING
Before installation of the boiler is considered
complete, the operation of all boiler controls must
be checked, particularly the primary control and
high limit control.
2. VERIFY OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
FEATURES using procedures outlined in
Instructions furnished with control or instructions as
follows:
GeniSys 7505 Control Features, see Figure 17.
a. The GeniSys 7505 is a microprocessor-based
control. The indicator light provides diagnostic
information for lockout, recycling and cad cell
status. There is a manual reset button to exit the
Lockout Mode.
b. Pump Priming Cycle: To facilitate purging air
from the oil lines and lters, the 7505 can be
placed in a purge routine by:
• After the burner starts, press and hold the
reset button for 15 seconds until the
yellow light turns on. This indicates that
the button has been held long enough.
• Release the reset button. The yellow
light will turn off and the burner will start
up again.
• At burner start up, click the reset button
while the igniter is till on. This will
transition the control to a dedicated Pump
Prime mode, during which the
motor, igniter, and valve are powered for
four (4) minutes. The yellow light will be on.
22
Figure 15: Cad Cell Location
Figure 16: "L1" and "V1" Head Electrode Positioning and Gun Setting
23
Figure 17: GeniSys 7505 Oil Primary Terminals,
LED's and Reset Button
• At the end of four (4) minutes, the yellow light
will turn off and the control will automatically
return to standby mode.
c. Limited Recycle: This feature limits the number
of recycle trials (for each call for heat) to a
maximum of three trials. If the ame is lost
three times and does not successfully satisfy a
call for heat, the 7505 locks out.
d. Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order to
limit the accumulation of unburned oil in the
combustion area, the control can only be reset
three times. The reset count returns to zero each
time a call for heat is successfully completed.
e. T-T Jumper: Select models have pre-installed
T-T jumper. DO NOT remove jumper.
Note:DO NOT remove "T-T" jumper unless
wiring diagram indicates a direct connection
from thermostat and/or tankless heater aquastat
control to the oil burner primary control's "T-T"
terminal. Refer to appropriate wiring diagram,
see Figure 11a or 11b.
f. Diagnostic LED: The indicator light on oil
primary control provides lockout, recycle and
cad cell indications as follows:
• Flashing at 1 Hz (½ second on, ½ second off):
system is locked out or in Restricted Mode.
• Flashing at ¼ Hz (2 seconds on, 2 seconds
off): control is in Recycle Mode.
• On: cad cell is sensing ame.
• Off: cad cell is not sensing ame.
vii. Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper
operation it is important that the cad
cell resistance is below 1600 ohms. During
a normal call for heat, the cad cell leads
can be unplugged from the control and the
resistance measured with a meter in the
conventional way.
Conduct these tests with ame present, see
chart below.
Flame Detection Range
Normal (0 - 1600 ohms)
Limited (1600 ohms to lockout)
3. CHECK OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
CAUTION
Due to the potential hazard of line voltage, only a
trained, experienced service technician should
perform the following safety checks.
This control contains no eld-serviceable parts.
DO NOT attempt to take it apart. Replace entire
control if operation is not as described.
a. Preliminary Steps
• Check wiring connections and power supply.
• Make sure power is on to the controls.
• Make sure limit control is closed.
• Check contacts between ignitor and the
electrodes.
• Check the oil pump pressure.
• Check the piping to the oil tank.
• Check the oil nozzle, oil supply and oil lter.
b. Check Safety Features
Safe Start:
• Place a jumper across cad cell terminals.
• Follow procedure to turn on burner. Burner
must not start, indicator light turns on and
control remains in Idle Mode.
• Remove jumper.
c. Simulate Ignition or Flame Failure:
• Follow procedure to turn on burner.
• Check cad cell resistance. If resistance is
below 1600 OHMS and burner runs beyond
safety cut-out time, cad cell is good.
• If safety switch shuts down burner and
resistance is above 1600 OHMS, open line
switch to boiler. Access cad cell under ignitor,
clean face of cad cell and see that cell is
securely in socket. Check gasket around
24
perimeter of ignitor lid for proper seal. If
gasket is missing or damaged, replace gasket.
Room light can effect cad cell resistance. Reset
safety switch.
• Close line switch to boiler. If burner starts
and runs beyond safety switch cut-off
time, cell is good. If not, install new cell.
• Close hand valve in oil supply line.
• Failure occurs, device enters Recycle Mode.
• Device tries to restart system after
approximately 60 seconds.
• After third Recycle Mode trial, safety
switch locks out within safety switch
timing indicated on label and control
enters Restricted Mode. Ignition and
motor stop and oil valves closes.
d. Power Failure Check: After Flame is
established, turn the power off to the control/
burner. The burner should shut down safely.
When power is restored a normal ignition
sequence should be started.
4. CHECK HIGH LIMIT
a. Adjust system thermostat(s) to highest setting.
b. Allow burner to run until boiler water
temperature exceeds high limit setting. The
burner should shut down and circulators continue
running.
c. Allow the temperature to drop below control
setting. The burner must restart.
d. Boiler installation is not considered complete
until this check has been made.
5. CHECK LOW WATER CUT-OFF CONTROL
See Appendix "A" for Low Water Cut Off
Installation.
6. CHECK OPERATING CONTROL on boiler
applications equipped with tankless heater(s). With
burner off, draw hot water until burner starts, then
turn off hot water and check burner shut-down.
J. IF CONTROLS MEET REQUIREMENT
outlined in Paragraph I, allow boiler to operate for
approximately 30 minute, conrm the boiler and system
have no leaks.
WARNING
Cad Cell Jumper must be removed after this
check.
K. IF CONTROLS DO NOT MEET
REQUIREMENTS outlined in Paragraphs I-1 thru
I-6, replace control and repeat checkout procedures.

V: OPERATING
A. WATER BOILERS SEQUENCE OF
OPERATION
1. Water Boilers Without Tankless Heaters (Cold Start), Sequence Of Operation:
a. The RRO Boiler is equipped with an Intelligent
Oil Boiler Control (Cold Start Boiler Control).
The boiler control replaces the traditional
electronic aquastat and circulator relays and adds
energy saving thermal purge features. Energy is
saved by starting the circulator and delaying the
burner start when there is residual heat available
in the boiler.
b. The boiler’s sequence of operation is shown as
Status Codes on Boiler Control display. See
Table 6 and Figure 18.
c. When the thermostat calls for heat the boiler
control starts the system circulator and the
thermal purge (circulator pre-purge time) begins.
If the time is completed or boiler temperature is
less than the Start Temperature (140 F default)
the start sequence continues by energizing the
oil primary to operate the following sequence:
blower is started and operates for pre-purge
time; spark is energized and fuel valve is opened
for ignition trial time; burner res until the
thermostat is satised.
d. If the thermostat is not satised and the
Operating Setpoint (SP) is reached the system
circulator will continue to operate and the burner
will stop. When the boiler water temperature
drops below the setpoint less the differential
setting the burner will restart.
e. After the thermostat is satised the burner and
circulator are stopped.
f. When an indirect water heater aquastat call for
heat is wired to the “ZR” terminal the Boiler
Control starts a domestic hot water circulator
connected to the “ZC” terminal and when the
boiler temperature is less than Operating Setpoint
(SP), the boiler control energizes the oil primary
to turn on the burner without circulator pre-purge
delay.
g. On burner start, if the CAD cell does not see
ame within approximately 15 seconds, primary
control will shut down the burner and enter into
a lockout mode. A lockout is reset by pressing
the reset button located on the primary control.
If the ame is lost while the burner is ring, the
primary control shuts down the burner, enters a
60 second recycle delay, and repeats the ignition
sequence. If after three (3) trials for ignition,
ame is not detected, primary control will enter
into restricted mode. Restricted mode is reset by
holding down the reset button for 15 seconds.
26
Figure 18: Intelligent Oil Boiler Control
2. Water Boilers with Tankless Heaters (Warm
Start), Sequence Of Operation:
a. The RRO Boiler is equipped with a Warm Start
Intelligent Oil Boiler Control (Warm Start
Boiler Control). The Warm Start Boiler Control
replaces the traditional high and low limit
aquastat and circulator relays.
b. The boiler’s sequence of operation is shown as
Status Codes on Boiler Control display. See
Table 6 and Figure 18.
c. When the thermostat calls for heat the boiler
control starts the system circulator and the
start sequence continues by energizing the oil
primary to operate the following sequence:
blower is started and operates for pre-purge
time; spark is energized and fuel valve is
opened for ignition trial time; burner res until
the thermostat is satised. Optionally, the
thermal purge (circulator pre-purge time) maybe
added adjusting the Circulator Pre-purge time
parameter. This feature saves energy by starting
the circulator and delaying the burner start when
there is residual heat available in the boiler .

b. Call for heat detected and boiler
temperature higher than 140 F and
Pump Pre-Purge Time has not
expired.
The burner runs until the call for heat is
satised.
d. If the thermostat is not satised and the
Operating Setpoint (SP) is reached the system
circulator will continue to operate and the burner
will stop. When the boiler water temperature
drops below the setpoint less the differential
setting the burner will restart.
e. After the thermostat is satised the burner and
circulator are stopped.
f. The Warm Start Boiler Control also includes
a low limit control function. When the boiler
water temperature falls below the Low Limit
Setpoint less the Low Limit Differential the
“ZC” terminal and System Circulator outputs
are de-energized and the oil primary is energized
to start the burner. As temperature rises above
the Low Limit Setpoint the burner is stopped,
the “ZC” output is energized and the System
Circulator is enabled to run in response to a call
for heat.
g. On burner start, if the CAD cell does not see
ame within approximately 15 seconds, primary
control will shut down the burner and enter into
a lockout mode. A lockout is reset by pressing
the reset button located on the primary control.
If the ame is lost while the burner is ring, the
primary control shuts down the burner, enters a
60 second recycle delay, and repeats the ignition
sequence. If after three (3) trials for ignition,
ame is not detected, primary control will enter
into restricted mode. Restricted mode is reset by
holding down the reset button for 15 seconds.
3. Using Boiler ControlThe Boiler Control is located on front of boiler.
The Boiler Control display, along with Up ñ,
Down ò, and “I” keys may be used to view boiler

6. More Information about Adjustable Parameters
a. High Limit (HL_)
The Boiler Control is factory programmed with
a High Limit Setpoint of 180°F. The boiler turns
"off" when the boiler water temperature (bt)
is above this value. The High Limit setpoint
is adjustable between 140° and 240°F. The
Operating Setpoint (P) will equal the High
Limit Setpoint.
b. High Limit Differential (HdF)
i.The Cold Start Boiler Control is factory
programmed with a Differential of 15°F.
The Differential is the number of degrees
the boiler temperature must decrease below
the Operating Setpoint before the boiler
can restart. The differential is adjustable
between 10° and 30°F.
ii. On Warm Start Boiler Control the High
Limit Differential is not adjustable and is
xed at 10°F.
c. Low Limit (LL_)
The Warm Start Boiler Control is factory
programmed with a Low Limit Setpoint of
110°F. On falling temperature the boiler
turns “on” and the “ZC” terminal and System
Circulator outputs are de-energized when the
boiler temperature is less than the Low Limit
Setpoint less the differential. On a rising
temperature when the boiler temperature is above
the Low Limit Setpoint the boiler turns “off”,
the “ZC” terminal output is energized and the
System circulator is enabled to respond to a call
for heat. The Low Limit Setpoint is adjustable
between 110°F and 220°F.
d. Low Limit Differential (Ldf)
The Warm Start Boiler Control is factory
programmed with a Low Limit Differential
Setpoint of 10°F. The Low Limit Differential
is the number of degrees the boiler temperature
must decrease below the Low Limit Setpoint
before the Warm Start Boiler Control takes
actions to warm the boiler. These actions include
starting the burner and stopping water ow
through the boiler. The Low Limit Differential is
adjustable between 10°F and 25°F.
e. Circulator Overrun Time (OR_)
Circulator Overrun Time (also called “circulator
off delay” or “circulator post purge”) continues
circulator operation after a call for heat has
ended, sending excess heat from the boiler into
the priority zone. Ensure system piping and zone
panel settings allow water ow to the priority
zone after the call for heat ends. The Circulator
Overrun Time has a factor setting of 0 minutes
and is eld adjustable between 0 and 10 minutes.
f. Circulator Pre-Purge Time (PP_)
When the boiler is warm [boiler water
temperature higher than 140°F (adjustable using
Start Temperature parameter)] and there is a
thermostat call for heat, the system circulator
is started and boiler ring is delayed pre-purge
minutes. If the temperature drops below 140°F or
there is a DHW Call for Heat the boiler is started
without delay. Additionally, the boiler is started
without delay if the thermostat call for heat is
initiated when the boiler water temperature is
less than 140°F. This feature helps save energy
by satisfying home heating needs with residual
boiler heat rather than cycling the boiler. The
Circulator Pre-purge time has a factory setting of
2 minutes and is eld adjustable between 2 and
20 minutes. Refer to Table 7.
The Warm Start Boiler Control Pre-purge Time is
factor set to 0 minutes.

ZR = onZC_ = DH<140Start with no delay
ZR = onZC_ = DH>140Start with no delay
g. Start Temperature (t_)
The amount of “Heat available” is calculated by
taking the difference between measured boiler
water temperature and the Start Temperature
setting. Useful “Heat Available” is dependent
on the type of heating emitter installed in the
home. Heat emitters require a certain minimum
temperature to operate effectively. Our default
settings reect cast iron radiators. Fan Coils
may require a start temperature setting of 180°F
or 160°F before providing heat to the home. The
Start Temperature has a factory setting of 140°F
and is eld adjustable between 140°F and 180°F.
h. Priority Time (Pt_)
When the Priority Time parameter is set to “on”
and Domestic Hot Water (DHW) call for heat is
“on” the DHW demand will take “Priority” over
home heating demand and the system circulator
will be forced “off”. Priority Time ends and
the system circulator is released to service home
heating demand when Domestic Hot Water call
for heat is over. When Priority Time parameter
is set to “Off” the DHW call for heat does not
force “off” the system circulator. The Priority
Time has a factory setting of “On” and is eld
adjustable between “On” and “Off” Refer to
Table 8.

i. ZC and ZR Terminal Function (ZC_)
The boiler control allows conguration of the ZC
output functionality to help the RRO integrate
into each installation more effectively. The ZC
output can be connected to a domestic hot water
circulator or a second heating zone circulator
or be used to enable pumps in a warm start
application. These applications are selected as
follows:
i. When ZC_ is set equal to Domestic Hot
Water Demand (dh)
When there is an Indirect Water Heater
(IWH) the boiler control provides a “ZR”
input terminal for the IWH Aquastat
and “ZC” output terminal for the DHW
Circulator. When there is a DHW call
for heat, the System Circulator is “forced
off”, the DHW Circulator terminal is
energized and the circulator pre-purge time
delay control logic is bypassed to allow
the boiler to re without delay. When
DHW demand ends the System Circulator
“force off” is removed, the circulator can
respond normally, and the DHW Circulator
is de-energized. The DHW call for heat
is detected by a voltage on to the "ZR"
terminal. When a Priority Time parameter
is set to “off” the System Circulator is not
forced off for a DHW call for heat. Refer to
Table 8.
ii. When ZC_ is set equal to Zone Request (ZR)
When there is no IWH the Cold Start Boiler
Control “ZC” output may be congured
to control a second heating zone. This is
particularly helpful when the home uses
only two heating zones. The boiler control
replaces the need for a two circulator zone
panel. When DHW Terminal Function
(dh_) is set to ZR the boiler control’s two
circulator outputs are used to control two
independent heating zones. Refer to Table
9. A "TT" input causes a call for heat and
energizes the System Circulator output to
service heating zone 1. A second zone’s
thermostat may be wired to the "ZR" input
to energize heating zone 2 circulator wired
to the "ZC" output. Both outputs function

independently, "TT" input controls only the
System Circulator output and the "ZR" input
controls only the "ZC" output. Both inputs
cause a boiler call for heat.
The Warm Start Boiler Control with ZC_
set equal to Zone Request (ZR) energizes
the "ZC" terminal while the boiler is warm
as described earlier in this section (refer to
Paragraph A,2,f). The "ZR" input is a call
for heat that starts the boiler.
iii. External Low Limit, Parameter ZC = ELL
The Cold Start Boiler Control is capable of
functioning as a warm start control when
external limit control is installed that closes
a contact when boiler water temperature
falls below a setpoint. When an external
limit contact closes (boiler water is cold)
the boiler is started and the "ZC" and "C1"
output terminals are de-energized. When
the "ZR" terminal is de-energized (boiler
water temperature is above setpoint) the call
for heat is ended and the "C1" terminal is
released to operation and the "ZC" terminal
is energized. An External Low Limit
Request is detected by sensing a voltage on
the "ZR" terminal. The Warm Start Boiler
Control does not have the External Low
Limit Option. Refer to Table 10.

VI. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS
A. WATER BOILERS
1.Filling of boiler and system.
GENERAL — In a hot water heating system, the
boiler and entire system (other than the expansion
tank) must be full of water for satisfactory
operation. Water should be added to the system until
the boiler pressure gauge registers 12 psi. To insure
that the system is full, water should come out of all
air vents when opened.
2. BOILING OUT OF BOILER AND SYSTEM. The
oil and grease which accumulate in a new hot water
boiler can be washed out in the following manner:
a. Remove relief valve using extreme care to avoid
damaging it.
b. Add an appropriate amount of recommended boil
out compound.
c. Replace relief valve.
d. Fill the entire system with water.
e. Start ring the boiler.
f. Circulate the water through the entire system.
g. Vent the system, including the radiation.
h. Allow boiler water to reach operating
temperature, if possible.
i. Continue to circulate the water for a few hours.
j. Stop ring the boiler.
k. Drain the system in a manner and to a location
that hot water can be discharged with safety.
l. Remove plugs from all available returns and
wash the water side of the boiler as thoroughly as
possible, using a high-pressure water stream.
m. Rell the system with fresh water.
3. Add appropriate boiler water treatment compounds
as recommended by your qualied water treatment
company.
4. Make pH or Alkalinity Test.
After boiler and system have been cleaned and
relled as previously described, test the pH of
the water in the system. This can easily be done
by drawing a small sample of boiler water and
testing with hydrion paper which is used in the
same manner as litmus paper, except it gives
specic readings. A color chart on the side of the
small hydrion dispenser gives the reading pH.
Hydrion paper is inexpensive and obtainable from
any chemical supply house or through your local
druggist. The pH should be higher than 7 but lower
than 11. Add some of the washout chemical (caustic
soda), if necessary, to bring the PH within the
specied range.
5. Boiler is now ready to be put into service.
IMPORTANT
IF, DURING NORMAL OPERATION, IT IS
NECESSARY TO ADD MORE WATER THAN
INDICATED BELOW, CONSULT A qUALIFIED
SERVICE TECHNICIAN TO CHECK YOUR
SYSTEM FOR LEAKS.

B. EXCESSIVE MAKE-UP WATER
A leaky system will increase the volume of make-up
water supplied to the boiler, which can signicantly
shorten the life of the boiler. Entrained in makeup water are dissolved minerals, salts and oxygen.
When the fresh, cool make-up water is heated in the
boiler, the minerals fall out as sediment, the salts
coat the inside of the boiler, and the oxygen escapes
as a gas. The accumulation of sediment eventually
isolates the water from contacting the cast iron.
When this happens the cast iron in that area gets
extremely hot and eventually cracks. The presence
of free oxygen or chloride salts in the boiler
corrodes the cast iron from the inside. More makeup water and higher concentrations of contaminants
damage the boiler sooner. Our warranty does not cover corrosion and sediment-related damage.
Clearly it is in everyone’s best interest to prevent
this type of failure. You can do your part by ensuring
that your system is leak-free, keeping leakage to less
than 2 percent of the total water volume each month.
C. HINTS ON COMBUSTION
1. NOZZLES — Although the nozzle is a relatively
inexpensive device, its function is critical to the
successful operation of the oil burner. The selection
of the nozzle supplied with the RRO boiler is the
result of extensive testing to obtain the best ame
shape and efcient combustion. Other brands of the
same spray angle and spray pattern may be used but
may not perform at the expected level of CO2 and
smoke. Nozzles are delicate and should be protected
from dirt and abuse. Nozzles are mass-produced
and can vary from sample to sample. For all of
those reasons a spare nozzle is a desirable item for a
serviceman to have.
Gallons Per
Year
31
2. FUEL LEAKS — Any fuel leak between the pump
and the nozzle will be detrimental to good combustion
results. Look for wet surfaces in the air tube, under
the ignitor, and around the air inlet. Any such leaks
should be repaired as they may cause erratic burning
of the fuel and in the extreme case may become a re
hazard.
3. AIR LEAKS — Any such leaks should be repaired,
as they may cause erratic burning of the fuel and in
extreme cases may become a re hazard.
4. SUCTION LINE LEAKS -
Whatever it takes, The Oil Must Be Free of Air. This
can be a tough problem , but it must be resolved. Try
bleeding the pump through a clear tube. There must be
no froth visible. There are various test kits available to
enable you to look at the oil through clear tube. There
must be no froth visible. There are various test kits
available to enable you to look at the oil through clear
tubing adapted to the supply line at the pump tting.
Air eliminators are on the market that have potential.
Also, electronic sight glasses are being used with good
success. At times, new tubing must be run to the tank
or new ttings put on. Just make sure you get the air
out before you leave.
Any air leaks in the fuel line will cause an unstable
ame and may cause delayed ignition noises. Use
only are ttings in the fuel lines.
5. GASKET LEAKS — If 11.5 to 12.5% CO
smoke cannot be obtained in the breeching, look for air
leaks around the burner mounting gasket, observation
door, and canopy gasket. Such air leaks will cause a
lower CO2 reading in the breeching. The smaller the
ring rate the greater effect an air leak can have on
CO2 readings.
6. DIRT — A fuel lter is a good investment. Accidental
accumulation of dirt in the fuel system can clog the
nozzle or nozzle strainer and produce a poor spray
pattern from the nozzle. The smaller the ring rate, the
smaller the slots become in the nozzle and the more
prone to plugging it becomes with the same amount
of dirt.
7. WATER — Water in the fuel in large amounts will stall
the fuel pump. Water in the fuel in smaller amounts
will cause excessive wear on the pump, but more
importantly water doesn’t burn. It chills the ame
and causes smoke and unburned fuel to pass out of
the combustion chamber and clog the ueways of the
boiler.
8. COLD OIL — If the oil temperature approaching the
fuel pump is 40°F or lower poor combustion or delayed
ignition may result. Cold oil is harder to atomize at
the nozzle. Thus, the spray droplets get larger and the
ame shape gets longer. An outside fuel tank that is
above grade or has fuel lines in a shallow bury is a
good candidate for cold oil. The best solution is to bury
the tank and lines deep enough to keep the oil above
40°F.
2
32
with a #1
9. FLAME SHAPE — Looking into the combustion
chamber through the observation door, the ame should
appear straight with no sparklers rolling up toward the
crown of the chamber. If the ame drags to the right
or left, sends sparklers upward or makes wet spots on
the target wall, the nozzle should be replaced. If the
condition persists look for fuel leaks, air leaks, water
or dirt in the fuel as described above.
10. HIGH ALTITUDE INSTALLATIONS
Air settings must be increased at high altitudes. Use
instruments and set for 11.5 to 12.5% CO2.
11. START-UP NOISE — Late ignition is the cause of
start-up noises. If it occurs recheck for electrode
settings, ame shape, air or water in the fuel lines.
12. SHUT DOWN NOISE — If the ame runs out of air
before it runs out of fuel, an after burn with
noise may occur. That may be the result of a faulty
cut-off valve in the fuel pump, or it may be air trapped
in the nozzle line. It may take several ring cycles for
that air to be fully vented through the nozzle. Water in
the fuel or poor ame shape can also cause shut down
noises.
NOTICE
CHECK TEST PROCEDURE. A very good test for
isolating fuel side problems is to disconnect the
fuel system and with a short length of tubing,
re out of an auxiliary ve gallon pail of clean,
fresh, warm #2 oil from another source. If the
burner runs successfully when drawing out of the
auxiliary pail then the problem is isolated to the
fuel or fuel lines being used on the jobsite.
D. ATTENTION TO BOILER WHILE NOT IN OPERATION
1. IMPORTANT:
IF BOILER IS NOT USED DURING WINTER TIME,
IT MUST BE FULLY DRAINED TO PREVENT
FREEZE DAMAGE.
2. Always keep the manual fuel supply valve shut off if
the burner is shut down for an extended period of time.
WARNING
This boiler contains controls which may cause the
boiler to shut down and not restart without service.
If damage due to frozen pipes is a possibility, the
heating system should not be left unattended
in cold weather; or appropriate safeguards and
alarms should be installed on the heating system
to prevent damage if the boiler is inoperative.
3. To recondition the heating system in the fall season
after a prolonged shut down, follow the instructions
outlined in Section IV, Paragraphs A through K.
VII. BOILER CLEANING
WARNING
All boiler cleaning must be completed with burner service switch turned off.
A. CLEAN THE FLUEWAYS (See Figure 20).
1. Disconnect oil line(s) and remove burner and burner
mounting plate. See Figure 1a or 1b.
2. Lay protective cloth or plastic over combustion
chamber blanket.
3. Remove the smokepipe as necessary to gain access
to the boiler canopy.
4. Remove the jacket top panels.
5. Remove the canopy being careful not to damage the
canopy gaskets.
6. Using a 1¼” diameter wire or bre bristle brush
(30” handle) clean the ueways. Brush from the top
using diagonal strokes for best results. DO NOT
allow brush to strike the target wall or liner in the
chamber.
B. CLEAN TOP OF BOILER SECTIONS.
1. Brush and vacuum the tops of the boiler sections.
C. CLEAN THE FIREBOX.
1. Using wire or bre bristle brush, clean crown
of boiler and inside of water legs. DO NOT
allow brush to strike target wall or blanket in the
combustion chamber.
D. AFTER CLEANING, remove protective cloth with
debris and vacuum as necessary, but be careful not
to damage blanket. Inspect target wall, combustion
chamber blanket and burner mounting plate insulation
for signs of damage. If damaged, replace as needed.
E. REASSEMBLE BOILER.
CAUTION: Do not start the burner unless canopy,
smokepipe and burner swing door are secured in place.
1. Install the canopy taking care to align the gaskets
without blocking the ueways. If gasket is damaged,
replace as needed.
2. Close and secure burner swing door to front section
with fasteners.
3. Reconnect oil line(s).
4. Reinstall Top Panels and secure with sheet metal
screws.
5. Reinstall smokepipe on canopy and secure to collar
with sheet metal screws.
Figure 20: Cleaning of Boiler Flueways
WARNING
The boiler must be connected to an approved
chimney in good condition. Serious property
damage could result if the boiler is connected
to a dirty or inadequate chimney. The interior of
the chimney ue must be inspected and cleaned
before the start of the heating season and
should be inspected periodically throughout the
heating season for any obstructions. A clean and
unobstructed chimney ue is necessary to allow
noxious fumes that could cause injury or loss
of life to vent safely and will contribute toward
maintaining the boiler's efciency.

Error detected with AC power supply frequency or boiler control failure. Cycle power to
the control. Replace control if problem persists.
B1 output sensed powered during safety output relay check sequence or un-powered
during running, or powered in idle in combination with water temperature above 264°F
limit. Cycle power to the control. Replace control if problem persists.
Internal fuse is blown or missing. The fuse protects the Aquastat from miswiring the L1
and L2 on Oil Primary. When the Oil Primary is correctly wired the fuse is useless and
not detected. If Primary is wired incorrectly the fuse is blown out and Aquastat report
error 6. EnviraCOM message is sent when the wiring is xed and the error disappears
to indicate the end of the error state. Check wiring and replace fuse.
Warning: Generated if user adjustments are lost and the device uses factory default
values. Error is cleared by entering and exiting the Adjustment mode. Replace control
if problem persists.
Set if Err 4 was invoked four times in a row. Check wiring and clear Lockout by
pressing all three user keys for 30 seconds.

APPENDIX A - AFTERMARKET LOW WATER CUT OFF (LWCO)
WARNING
DO NOT ATTEMPT to cut factory wires to install an aftermarket Low Water Cut Off (LWCO). Only use
connections specically identied for Low Water Cut Off.
In all cases, follow the Low Water Cut Off (LWCO) manufacturer's instructions.
When
A low water cutoff is required to protect a hot water
boiler when any connected heat distributor (radiation)
is installed below the top of the hot water boiler (i.e.
baseboard on the same oor level as the boiler). In
addition, some jurisdictions require the use of a LWCO
with a hot water boiler.
Where
The universal location for a LWCO on oil hot water
boilers is above the boiler, in either the supply or return
piping. The minimum safe water level of a water boiler
is at the uppermost top of the boiler; that is, it must be
full of water to operate safely.
It is recommended that the LWCO control is installed
above the boiler to provide the highest level of
protection. However, where the LWCO control is
approved by the LWCO control manufacturer for
installation in a high boiler tapping of a water boiler,
the use of the listed LWCO control is permitted when
it is installed according to the LWCO manufacturer’s
instructions
What Kind
Typically, in residential applications, a probe type
LWCO is used instead of a oat type, due to their
relative costs and the simplicity of piping for a probe
LWCO.
Select the appropriate size tee using the LWCO
manufacturer’s instructions. Often, the branch
connection must have a
prevent bridging between the probe and the tee. Also,
the run of the tee must have a minimum diameter to
prevent the end of the probe from touching or being
located too close to the inside wall of the run of the tee.
Ideally, manual shutoff valves should be located
above the LWCO and the boiler to allow for servicing.
This will allow probe removal for inspection without
draining the heating system. Many probe LWCO
manufacturers recommend an annual inspection of the
probe.
minimum diameter to
How to Wire
LWCO’s are available in either 120 VAC or 24 VAC
congurations. The 120 VAC conguration must be
applied to oil boilers by wiring it in the line voltage
service to the boiler (after the service switch, if so
equipped). Refer to Figure A2.
The presence of water in a properly installed LWCO
will cause the normally open contact of the LWCO to
close, thus providing continuity of the 120 VAC service
to the boiler.
It is recommended to supply power to the probe LWCO
with the same line voltage servicing the boiler as shown
below.
How to Pipe
A “tee” is commonly used to connect the probe LWCO
in the supply or return piping, as shown below.
Figure A1: LWCO Location
Figure A2: Wiring of Typical LWCO
45
How to Test
Shut off fuel supply. Close shut-off valves in system
supply and return piping located in near boiler piping
above LWCO as shown in Figure A1. Open drain valve
to lower water level until water is below the LWCO
probe. It may be necessary to open relief valve seat to
allow air into system for the water to drain, close drain
valve and relief valve once completed. Generate a
boiler demand by turning up thermostat. Boiler should
not attempt to operate. Open ll valve to increase the
water level by lling the system. It may be necessary
to open relief valve to allow air to escape during lling
process. The boiler should attempt to operate once the
water level is above the LWCO.
