DESCRIPTION
The SS1C is a mechanical vent system designed and listed for use with natural draft oil heating equipment. It is factory assembled and wired. The SS1C automatically vents the flue gases from heating equipment to the outdoors. By combining outside air
with high-tech insulation, surrounding combustible materials and the Vent Hood exterior remain at safe temperatures. After each
burner cycle the SS1C will continue to operate in post-purge mode to purge the heater and vent of residual flue gases. A factory
post-purge time is set at 2 minutes and is adjustable up 16 minutes, see “Pre / Post-purge Settings” on page 5. The SS1C features a safety system consisting of the integral UC1 Universal Control, a Fan Proving Switch and a High Limit temperature control.
These devices monitor the SS1C’s performance and will interrupt the main burner if a venting malfunction is detected.
APPLICATION TABLE
Verify that the total BTU/hr. input of the heating appliance(s) fall within the proper category listed below. All BTU/hr. capacity
ranges are based on a maximum of 15.2 equivalent meters (50 feet). To determine equivalent meters, add the total length of
straight vent pipe plus 3.1 meters (10 feet) for each 90 degree elbow and 1.5 meters (5 feet) for each 45 degree elbow. Vent
runs of over 4.5 linear meters (15 linear feet) should use an approved, insulated vent connector to prevent problems related to
sulfur condensation.

8. "Safety Inspection of a Previously Used Appliance", below must be completed when replacing a conventional chimney venting
system or when SideShot is installed on used heating equipment.
SAFETY INSPECTION OF A PREVIOUSLY USED APPLIANCE
(Perform prior to SideShot 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 and boiler 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. This procedure should be performed prior to any attempt at modifications of the appliance or installation of the SS1C.
b. If it is determined there is a condition which could result in an unsafe operation, the appliance should be shut off and the owner
advised of the unsafe condition.
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. Applicable only to furnaces:
Inspect heat exchanger for cracks, openings or excessive corrosion. Check both the limit control
and fan control for proper operation.
4. Applicable only to boilers:
Inspect for evidence of water or combustion product leaks. Determine that the water pumps are in
operating condition. Test low water cutoffs, automatic feed controls, pressure and temperature limit controls and relief valves in
accordance with the manufacturer's recommendations to determine that they are in operating order.

LED FAULT INDICATORS
Fault conditions are indicated by counting the number of times LED #4 (Red) flashes.
LED #4 Flashes 2 Times Fan Prover was in electrically closed position prior to venter operation.
LED #4 Flashes 3 Times* Fan Prover does not close within 60 seconds after call for heat.
LED #4 Flashes 4 Times* Fan Prover did not re-close after 10 minutes of Venter 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 SS1C High Limit. If Limit
was tripped and SS1C 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.
PRE / POST PURGE AND PROVER STATUS CHECK DIP SWITCH SETTINGS
Remove power to SS1C 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 #5 (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 Venter 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.
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.
