NOTICE: It is important to confirm that the operating voltage of the humidifier or EAC being installed matches the output of this control. If not, a field supplied relay or transformer may be necessary to provide the proper control and supply voltage for the accessory being installed. Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions for the humidifier or EAC for additional information.

Contents Page Contents SECTION I. SAFETY INFORMATION Page IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THESE INSTRUCTIONS EXACTLY, A FIRE OR EXPLOSION MAY RESULT CAUSING PROPERTY DAMAGE, PERSONAL INJURY, OR LOSS OF LIFE Waterproof type connectors must be used when connecting electrical power and control wiring to the unit to prevent moisture from being drawn into the unit during operation For initial start-upof the appliance after installation, it may be necessary to purge the air out of the oil line. A qualified heating contractor should do this 1.This appliance shall be used with only the type of fuel oil for which it is approved. Refer to the appliance-ratinglabel for the required type of fuel III.GENERAL INSTALLATION II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONSa.Combustible material A. Codes and Clearancesb.Non-combustiblematerial B.Selection of Installation Location The unit is manufactured with runner supports that raise the unit, about 1.25 inches above the mounting base, allowing air circulation beneath the metal surfaces. This clearance helps to promote air circulation under the base that allows the unit to be mounted on combustible materials. This clearance also helps to reduce metal corrosion caused by a buildup of moisture under the appliance C.Venting of Combustion Products FIGURE 2 Vent Terminal Mounting Position D. Condensate DrainE. Oil Tank and Piping 5.A readily accessible, design-certified,manual oil shutoff valve, with a non- displaceable rotor member, shall be installed in the fuel oil supply piping within 6 feet of the appliance G. Burner Specifications And Performance F. Oil FilterOil Pump H. Airflow Requirements and Sizing of Duct Work 6.The following method can be used to size ductwork when air velocities are low to moderate h.The resistance of the take-offand the outlet register or return grill should then be summed together to determine the total pressure drop for each branch. This value should be close to the assumed value for the pressure drop of the system. If it is not close, then flowrates for each branch must be adjusted, or the design of the duct system must be altered, to give the proper pressure drops. Usually, the cross-sectionalarea of the ductwork should be changed in order to adjust the pressure drop to a suitable value 7.The supply and return air ducts, or flexible joints, should be carefully secured and sealed to the appliance housing to prevent air leakage from, or into, the duct system. For best performance, insulate the outside surfaces of the ducts to reduce heat loss from, or heat gain to, the ducts. The insulation system should be carefully selected and installed to minimize water and moisture absorption by the insulation I.Air Filters 1.Filter Installation J. Electrical Wiring Typically, control wiring between the outdoor appliance and the indoor thermostat, and if used, electronic air cleaner or humidifier, will be required. Field wiring of control circuits should consist of copper conductors rated for at least 240 VAC with an insulation temperature rating conforming to Type T wire, 35C temperature rise. Depending upon code requirements, rigid or flexible conduit is recommended, and may be required. Make connections between the thermostat, and electronic air cleaner or humidifier if used, and the fan control module, inside the burner compartment. Consult the wiring diagram for the appropriate connection points on the thermostat and the fan control module 3.All wiring sizes must comply with local codes or the National Electrical Code. To minimize voltage drop to the appliance, the next larger size wire should be used when long wiring runs, in excess of 100 ft., are employed. Refer to the wiring diagrams when wiring or servicing Figure 4 The Fan Control Module 2. Thermostat Anticipator Setting Figure 5 Heat Anticipator Adjustment ScalePreferred method of adjustment 3.

It is possible to achieve readings of up to 14% CO2 or 2% O2 , but it is better to have a slightly lower CO2 or higher O2 reading with zero smoke measured. To achieve a lower CO2 reading, open the air band, or shutter, on the burner until zero smoke is measured 3.Adjustment Of Heat Input Rate 4.Setting Supply Air Temperature Rise 5.Checkout Procedure Page B.Cooling Section 1.Initial Startup 2.Definition of Subcooling 3.Condenser Subcooling 4.Definition of Superheat5.Evaporator Superheat V.

When removing the clean-outcovers, special care must be taken not to damage the gaskets. Should any of the gaskets separate, show evidence of cracks or breaks, or otherwise be unable to provide the necessary seal, the gasket must be replaced before reattaching the clean-outcovers, refer to Figure Burner Operation section Figure 10 View of OPB Heat ExchangerC.Electrical System 1.Filter maintenance procedure 2.Filter replacementD.
