WIRING SYSTEM CHANGES

Beckett burners have taken advantage of the changes in the R7184 controls to improve the wiring system. Component and power cord wires, now color-coded to match the terminal colors on the control, are terminated with 0.25-inch flag terminals (QCs) to fit the spade connectors (QCs) on the control. During the time required to convert all components and controls to the new wiring system, some adaptations may be required when replacing individual components on the burner.

CHANGING COMPONENTS — When changing components, the type of connection that you need to make depends on the way the components (motor, valve, igniter), power cord and control are terminated. Where all the leads / connections are the same, no modifications are required. Where the two ends of a connection are dissimilar, see the options in the following table:
