GENERAL INFORMATION
These units have been factory tested and rated in accordance with AMCA standard 210, Test Code for Air Moving Devices and
also rated in accordance with the following Canadian Standards: CAN/CSA - B140.0-M87 General Requirements For Oil Burning
Equipment; CAN/CSA - B139-M91 Installation Code For Oil Burning Equipment; CAN3 - B255-M81 Mechanical Flue - Gas Exhausters.
Each SS1R is electrically factory line tested before shipment. After opening carton, inspect thoroughly for hidden damage. Wheel
should rotate freely. If any damage is found notify freight carrier and your distributor immediately and file a concealed damage claim.
INSTALLATION RESTRICTIONS
1. Do not install on condensing appliances. Use this device only on specified oil fired Rheem, Ruud, Weatherking & Heat
Controller furnaces. Do not use with more than one furnace.
2. A barometric draft control must be used with the SS1R.
3. Do not use single wall vent pipe in unconditioned or unheated spaces.
4. The SS1R shall not be installed where flue gas temperatures exceed 575oF at its inlet. Flue gas temperature verification:
Measure temperature of flue gases at the inlet to the SS1R at time of installation. Measure the temperature after the appliance
and SS1R operate for at least 15 minutes, allowing flue gas temperature to stabilize.
CAUTIONS
Disconnect power supply from the oil furnace when making wiring connections and servicing the SS1R. Failure to do so may
result in personal injury and/or equipment damage. LED #6 (RED) should be off with power removed.
1. The SS1R must be installed by a qualified installer (an individual properly licensed and/or trained) in accordance with all local
codes. In the absence of local codes, USA installations should be in accordance with the latest editions of the applicable
National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) code. These are NFPA 31 (Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment), and NFPA 211
(Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and Solid Fuel burning Appliances). In addition, USA installations must comply with the National
Electrical Code. In the absence of local codes in Canada, installations must comply with CSA Std 139 (The National Building
Code of Canada) and CSA Std 22.1 (The Canadian Electrical Code).
2. Plan the vent layout so that the code required clearances are maintained from plumbing, wiring and combustible materials.
3. The SS1R motor shaft must be mounted horizontally to ensure proper operation of the Fan Proving Switch and prevent
motor bearing wear.
4. Flue gas temperatures must not exceed 575oF at SS1R inlet. Ambient temperature must not exceed 104oF.
5. Make certain the power source is adequate for the SS1R requirements. Do not add the SS1R to a circuit where the
total electrical load is unknown.
6. "Safety Inspection of a Previously installed Appliance" must be completed when replacing a conventional chimney
venting system or when SS1R is installed on Rheem, Ruud, Weatherking or Heat Controller oil fired furnaces.
7. The SS1R vent system, including vent pipe, must be inspected annually by a qualified individual.
*SAFETY INSPECTION OF A PREVIOUSLY INSTALLED OIL APPLIANCE
(Perform prior to SS1R 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 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. Install the SS1R only on specified Rheem, Ruud, Weatherking & Heat Controller oil fired furnaces.
b. Complete this procedure prior to any attempt at modifications of the appliance or installation of the SS1R.
c. If there is a condition which could result in unsafe operation, shut off the appliance and advise the owner
of the unsafe condition.
Improper installation, adjustment, alterations, service or maintenance can cause injury, property damage or death. Refer to this
manual. For assistance or additional information consult a qualified installer, service agency or the equipment supplier.
Do not exceed the recommended input range of the SS1R. Under no circumstances shall the minimum draft adjustment be used
for the larger input range of this product. Improper adjustment may result in the dispersion of flue products (carbon monoxide)
into the building interior causing carbon monoxide poisoning or death.
If oil nozzle is changed or other equipment is added perform “Draft Adjustment Procedure” on page 14 again.
