p.

   Adjust  the  low  fire  input,  using  the  fuel  cam  and  air 

damper adjustments.  If the burner is equipped with FGR, 

adjust the NOx level according to the type of system (limit-

ing potentiometer or matching gas).

q.

  Re-adjust the midfire points for the correct O2 levels.  

The linkage may need to be readjusted to obtain the cor-

rect relationship between the fuel valve and air damper.  

(Figure F-1)

r.

  If equipped with FGR, adjust the NOx levels at low and 

midfire rates to be about 10% under the guaranteed levels 

or as required for the gas firing.

s.

   The  burner  should  be  operating  at  low  fire  to  adjust 

the air proving switch.  Turn the adjusting screw cw (in) 

until the burner trips out (shutdown caused by the air flow 

switch).  Turn the adjustment screw ccw (out) 1 ½ turns 

from the point of shutdown.  Check the operation at higher 

rates.

t.

  Adjust the oil pressure switch to trip and shutdown the 

burner at a pressure that is 10% lower than the supply oil 

pressure.

11.   Air Atomized, #2 oil Setup

The air atomized oil system has the potential for a large 

turndown range similar to gas and has the potential to be 

adjusted to different low fire rates.  See the burner name-

plate for details on actual rates for this burner.

If the burner is equipped with FGR and is a linkage sys-

tem,  the  type  of  FGR  control  must  be  determined  prior 

to starting.  If this is a dual fuel burner, the FGR rate is 

determined by the NOx performance on gas.  A 60 ppm 

burner will operate with the same FGR rate on gas and oil.  

A 30 ppm unit will use the limiting potentiometer to slightly 

reduce the FGR rate on oil firing.  For Oil only combustion, 

the NOx level will be given on the burner detail sheet, and 

should be used to set the FGR control valve.

a.

  Place the burner switch in the “OFF” position.

b.

  Place the “Auto-Manual” switch in the manual position.  

If this is a combination fuel burner, make sure the fuel se-

lector switch is on “OIL”.

c.

    Place  the  manual  flame  control  potentiometer  in  the 

min (low fire) position.

d.

  Turn the electrical power for the burner, boiler and re-

lated components on.

e.

  Verify that the oil metering valve is at the nearly closed 

position.

f.

  Turn the burner switch on.  This will start the blower mo-

tor and initiate the purge cycle.

g.

  When the prepurge sequence is complete and the low 

fire start switch is made, the pilot valve will open and the 

pilot flame should be visible through the burner sight port.

h.

    When  the  pilot  flame  is  established,  the  flame  safe-

guard will energize the main oil valves (indicated with the 

Fuel Valve Light), and the burner should ignite at low fire.  

This  operation  of  the  main  fuel  valves  must  be  visually 

checked  by  observing  the  valve  stem  moving  up  with  a 

motorized valve or hearing the clicking noise from a sole-

noid valve. 

NOTE:

 If the burner is not operating as indicated, follow 

the troubleshooting steps to determine the problem and 

corrective action.

WARNING

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE BURNER WHEN EX-

CESS OIL HAS ACCUMULATED, WHEN THE UNIT IS FULL 

OF VAPOR, OR WHEN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER IS 

HOT.

i.

  After a few seconds, the combustion analyzer should 

have an accurate reading of the O2 in the stack.  The O2 

level should be between 4% and 8% (see Figure F-3 for 

O2 rates), and the nozzle oil press should be between 5 

and 15 PSIG (see Figure F-4).  Do not attempt to fine tune 

combustion until the high fire input has been set.

If the burner is equipped with FGR, the FGR control valve 

or limiting potentiometer should be set for the approximate 

NOx level required.

•  Turning the cam screw in will add fuel, making it richer 

and reducing the O2 level.

•   Turning  the  cam  screw  out  will  reduce  the  fuel  input, 

increasing the O2 level.

•  The air damper should be positioned for the correct low 

fire settings.

•  The atomizing air pressure can be adjusted using the air 

bleed valve.

j.

  Operate the burner until the boiler is warmed up, and 

near the operating pressure or temperature. 

k.

  Increase the firing rate, using the manual potentiome-

ter, while monitoring and adjusting the O2 level.  Adjust the 

cam, oil pressure and atomizing air pressure as needed to 

reach the high fire input.

l.

  If the burner is equipped with FGR, adjust the FGR con-

trol valve or potentiometer as required to maintain the NOx 

level.

m.

  At high fire (end of the modulating motor travel), adjust 

the high fire input to match the maximum input listed on 

the rating label.  Using a flow meter, the fuel input may be 

measured using the following equation,
 

Oil GPH = 

 

[Gal end – Gal start] x [3600 sec/hr] /

 

[measured sec]

 

Where  Gal end = meter gallons at end of test

 

Gal start = gallons at start of the test

 

Measured sec = measured time of test

 

GPH = Gallons of oil per hour

n.

  If equipped with FGR, adjust the NOx level to be about 

10% below any guaranteed NOx performance or if perfor-

mance guarantee exists adjust the FGR to provide some 

added turbulence but not high enough to impact flame sta-

bility.  A balance of the FGR control valve and air damper 

are required to obtain the final result, as each can impact 

the other.  If this is a 30 ppm system, the FGR limiting pot 

should be adjusted to reduce the FGR rate for stable com-

bustion, with the FGR control valve set when firing gas.  If 

this is a 60 ppm system, no adjustment is necessary.

o.

  Modulate the burner to low fire, adjusting the O2 level 

as the burner modulates.

p.

   Adjust  the  low  fire  input,  using  the  fuel  cam  and  air 

damper adjustments.

q.

  If the burner is equipped with FGR, adjust the NOx level
