ELECTRICAL WIRING OF SS1R ON OIL EQUIPMENT
All wiring from the SS1R to the appliance must be appropriate Class 1 wiring as follows: installed in rigid metal conduit, intermedi-
ate metal conduit, rigid non-metallic conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Type MI Cable, Type MC Cable, or be otherwise
suitably protected from physical damage.
PREPARATION FOR SYSTEM WIRING
MAKE SURE ALL POWER IS DISCONNECTED FROM THE FURNACE BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO INSTALL THE SS1R.
FAILURE TO DO SO CAN CAUSE ELECTRICAL SHOCK RESULTING IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
INSTALLATION OF OIL SOLENOID VALVE
On "D" series oil furnaces (-OBD-XXX, -OPD-XXX and etc.) (DIAGRAM P)
1. Apply pipe sealant to the elbows and attach the
elbows to the valve in the positions shown.
2. Place the ½" chase nipple through the cad cell
housing with the 7/8" grounding lock-washer on
the outside of the housing as shown.
3. Thread the chase nipple into the valve passing the
wires of the valve through the chase nipple.
4. Connect one 8” Tube Assy. from the pump to the
Valve and the remaining 8” Tube Assy. from the
Valve to the Nozzle Line paying attention to the
direction of flow as shown.
5. Thread wires (2) from solenoid valve to cad cell
housing of burner and out through the opposite
side of the burner on to the exit hole drilled in the
furnace wall.
On "F" series oil furnaces (-OBF-XXX, -OPF-XXX
and etc.)
The solenoid valve supplied with the SS1R kit will not
be installed on Rheem/Ruud/Weatherking -OBF-XXX
or -OPF-XXX models. These model furnaces come
equipped with a solenoid valve already mounted to
the burner. The valve is controlled by the furnace pri-
mary control. This existing solenoid will be wired into
the SS1R UC1 control. See Diagram R for wiring schematic.
MAKE SURE THAT ALL POWER IS DISCONNECTED AND TURNED OFF COMPLETELY BEFORE PROCEEDING TO
INSTALL THE SS1R POWER VENTER. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH.
THE FOLLOWING INSTRUCTIONS PERTAIN ONLY TO RHEEM, RUUD, OR WEATHERKING "D" (-OBD-XXX, -OPD-XXX and
etc.) and "F" (-OBF-XXX, -OPF-XXX and etc.) SERIES OIL BURNING FURNACES.
1. All wiring from the SS1R to the oil furnace must be appropriate Class 1 wiring as follows: installed in a rigid metal conduit,
intermediate metal conduit, rigid non-metal conduit, electrical metallic tubing, Type MI Cable, Type MC Cable, or be otherwise
suitably protected from physical damage while complying with the latest revision of the National Electric Code.
2. Always route wires neatly around the front of the burner and wire tie them to the burner in a way so that the wires will never
touch a hot part of the furnace (such as the center panel).
3. Remove the screws that secure the primary control to the junction box.
On "D" series oil furnaces (-OBD-XXX, -OPD-XXX and etc.),
the primary control module (Honeywell R8184-M) is located on
the main junction box mounted to the interior wall of the furnace.
On "F" series oil furnaces (-OBF-XXX, -OPF-XXX and etc.),
the primary control module (Honeywell 7184B) and junction box
is mounted directly to the oil burner assembly.
4.
For "D" series oil furnaces (-OBD-XXX, -OPD-XXX and etc.):
Remove the primary control from the main junction box and
push the wires inside to the side so that the holes on the back of the junction box can be seen. Once these holes are located,
choose one of these holes and trace its pattern onto the furnace wall. Once the hole is traced, remove the main junction
box/primary control assembly from the wall of the furnace and drill out the newly traced hole with a 1" drill. Use caution when
drilling into the furnace so existing wiring and components are not damaged. The four wires connecting the Rheem, Ruud or
Weatherking oil-fired furnace to the SS1R power venter must be routed through this new hole. When the hole is complete,
install a 1" diameter bushing. If electrical conduit is not going to be used, then a mechanical strain relief must be used where
wires pass through the furnace wall. Next, replace the junction box to the wall of the furnace, but leave the primary control detached.
