CAUTIONS
Disconnect power supply from the oil furnace when making wiring connections and servicing the SS1R. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. LED #6 (RED) should be off with power removed.
1. The SS1R must be installed by a qualified installer (an individual properly licensed and/or trained) in accordance with all local
codes. In the absence of local codes, USA installations should be in accordance with the latest editions of the applicable
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) code. These are NFPA 31 (Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment), and NFPA 211
(Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel burning Appliances). In addition, USA installations must comply with the National
Electrical Code. In the absence of local codes in Canada, installations must comply with CSA Std 139 (The National Building
Code of Canada) and CSA Std 22.1 (The Canadian Electrical Code).
2. Plan the vent layout so that the code required clearances are maintained from plumbing, wiring and combustible materials.
3. The SS1R motor shaft must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper operation of the Fan Proving Switch and prevent
motor bearing wear.
4. Flue gas temperatures must not exceed 575oF at SS1R inlet. Ambient temperature must not exceed 104oF.
5. Make certain the power source is adequate for the SS1R requirements. Do not add the SS1R to a circuit where the
total electrical load is unknown.
6. "Safety Inspection of a Previously installed Appliance" must be completed when replacing a conventional chimney
venting system or when SS1R is installed on Rheem, Ruud, Weatherking or Heat Controller oil fired furnaces.
7. The SS1R vent system, including vent pipe, must be inspected annually by a qualified individual.
*SAFETY INSPECTION OF A PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED OIL APPLIANCE
(Perform prior to SS1R installation)
The following procedure is intended as a guide to aid in determining that an appliance is properly installed and is in safe condition
for continuing use.
This procedure is based on central furnace installations and it should be recognized that generalized procedures cannot anticipate
all situations. Accordingly, in some cases deviation from this procedure may be necessary to determine safe operation of the
equipment.
a. Install the SS1R only on specified Rheem, Ruud, Weatherking & Heat Controller oil fired furnaces.
b. Complete this procedure prior to any attempt at modifications of the appliance or installation of the SS1R.
c. If there is a condition which could result in unsafe operation, shut off the appliance and advise the owner
of the unsafe condition.
Improper installation, adjustment, alterations, service or maintenance can cause injury, property damage or death. Refer to this
manual. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency or the equipment supplier.
Do not exceed the recommended input range of the SS1R. Under no circumstances shall the minimum draft adjustment be used
for the larger input range of this product. Improper adjustment may result in the dispersion of flue products (carbon monoxide)
into the building interior causing carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
If oil nozzle is changed or other equipment is added perform “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on page 14 again.
The following steps should be followed in making the safety inspection:
1. Visually inspect the venting system and determine there is no blockage or restriction, leakage, corrosion or other deficiencies
which could cause an unsafe condition.
2. Inspect burner and primary control for proper operation.
3. Inspect heat exchanger for cracks, openings or excessive corrosion. Check both the limit control and fan control for proper operation.

LED #4 Flashes 5 Times* Fan Prover opened for more than 10 seconds during burner cycle but closed within 10 minutes.
* Investigate causes of Fan Prover not making, i.e; Firing burner at capacities or temperatures exceeding Venter limits, excessive
vent pipe runs, high winds, plugged / kinked Fan Prover sensing tube or a faulty Fan Prover. Reset SS1R High Limit. If Limit
was tripped and SS1R fires, investigate cause of high heat.
tripped and SS1R fires, investigate cause of high heat.
CHECKING MEMORY FOR LAST FAULT CODE
IMPORTANT: Prior to accessing the fault code memory, note the settings of the dip switches so that they can be returned to their
original Pre / Post-Purge positions. When power is supplied to the UC1 use caution when moving dip switches.
The last fault code can be retrieved at any time by setting all dip switches 1-8 to the up, or “on” position. The last fault code, or
lack there of, will be indicated by counting the number of times LED #4 flashes. By moving any of the dip switches back to their
original position, the fault code will be cleared. NOTE: The UC1 board must have its 115 VAC power supply present when any of
the (1-8) dip switches are moved back to their original position for the fault code to clear.
IMPORTANT: Fault codes will automatically be displayed after a fault condition occurs. If the call for heat interlock signal
or 115 VAC power is removed, the UC1 board will reset and the fault will be stored in memory instead of displayed. Any
new fault will replace any previous fault.

PRE / POST PURGE AND PROVER STATUS CHECK DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Remove power to SS1R and heating equipment when installing, servicing or changing dip switch settings. Failure to do so may result in
personal injury and/or equipment damage. LED #6 (RED) should not be on if 115 VAC supply power is removed from the control.
Pre-purge
Used for longer vent runs to get draft fully established throughout the vent system prior to burner ignition. Also beneficial for negative pressure prone environments. IMPORTANT: Nuisance equipment lockouts may occur if our pre-purge is running in conjunction with and is longer than any equipment timing circuit. Pre-purge settings must be shorter than burner control lockout time
unless wired prior to burner control timing circuit (i.e. aquastat / thermostat).
Post-purge
A Venter post-purge has been factory set at 2 minutes. Confirm that dip switch #5 is in the up or "on" position. Oil fired equipment
requires that the post-purge be long enough to eliminate post cycle nozzle drip odor. A longer post-purge may be necessary for
longer vent runs or high heat retention, refractory lined combustion chambers.
