Owner’s Manual • Foreman
A. Heating Mode Operation
When the selector switch is positioned to heat and
the thermostat is calling for heat, a set of green
lights will illuminate (power ON and thermostat
ON). The burner fan motor will pre purge for 45
seconds. After the burner fan has pre purged, the
igniter will spark and ignition will occur. The main
blower has a time delay of 30 seconds before
operation. The thermostat will cycle the heater ON
or OFF based upon temperature setting. The high
limit LED will flash during pre/post purge cycle.
Note:
When the thermostat cycles the heater off
or selector switch is switched to OFF, the
main fan motor will continue to run for an
additional 3 minutes to cool down the heat
exchanger.
B. Vent Mode Operation
When the selector switch is positioned to vent, only
the fan motor light will illuminate. The fan motor will
start, but the burner motor will not, nor will ignition
occur. This feature is used typically when heat
is not needed, but air circulation is required. The
heater will not cycle on its thermostat setting.
To discontinue the ventilation feature, position
the switch to midpoint O or heat If you desire to
use the ventilation feature, the fuel source is not
needed.
C. Off O
Position the switch to midpoint O
Safety Lock-Out
This heater is equipped with the Beckett GeniSys
Advanced Burner Control. The GeniSys is used
with a suitable cad cell flame sensor to control the
oil burner motor, igniter, and oil solenoid valve.
■ The GeniSys Burner controller has one ignition
trial. If ignition is not achieved, the GeniSys
burner control will enter a “soft lock-out” mode.
Soft lockout – the control has shut down for one of
the following safety reasons:
a) The trial for ignition fail.
b) The cad cell did not detect flame.
c) Flame is lost during ignition trial.
d) Burner control will retry ignition in 60 seconds.
TO RESET THE CONTROL BOX
Push the reset button on the GeniSys controller for
1-second and verify the red light in the reset button
shut off.

(1) Recurrence of a soft lockout- to reset, push and hold the
reset button for 15 seconds until the yellow light turns on.
(2) Ignition failure, cad cell did not detect flame, or flame lost-
to reset, push and release the reset button.
(3) Control has entered a 60 second delay, and will repeat the
ignition sequence.
(4) Purging air out of the fuel line.
The controller will only provide the diagnostics when
the selector switch is set to HEAT
■ It is normal for air to be trapped in the fuel line on
new installations. The heater may require several
trials for ignition before air is finally purged from line
and ignition takes place.
