Check wiring connections and power supply. Make
sure power is on to the controls, burner motor, and
ignition transformer.
2.
Make sure limit control is closed.
Check Oil Primary Relay
NOTE:
You’ll need an insulated jumper wire with both
ends stripped.
1.
Disconnect cad cell leads from F-F terminals.
2.
Reset safety switch and set thermostat to call for
heat. Burner should start.
3.
Within safety switch timing, jumper F-F terminals
with insulated jumper wire. Burner should continue
to run.
4.
After safety switch timing, remove jumper. Burner
should shut down in safety switch timing.
5.
If operation is not as described, replace oil primary
control.
Check Cad Cell
1.
Disconnect power at system switch, circuit breaker
or fuse.
2.
Clean cell face with soft cloth.
3.
Make sure cell is seated securely in socket. Be
careful not to disturb socket position.
4.
Reconnect cad cell leads to F-F terminals.
5.
Reset safety switch, turn on power and set
thermostat to call for heat.
6.
If burner does not operate, or if safety switch trips,
replace cad call. Order part no. 130367.
Trip Safety Switch Before
Performing Burner Maintenance
CAUTION
Tripping the safety switch shuts down the burner
but does not disconnect the power supply. Turn
off power at system switch or circuit breaker
before servicing the control system, burner motor,
oil valve or ignition to avoid electric shock.
To trip the safety switch, move the safety switch lever
down until the red reset button pops out and the
indicator light comes on. See Fig. 4. Burner will not
operate until safety switch is reset by pushing in the red
reset button.
