These controls were selected for their proven high quality, dependability, and serviceability. With proper maintenance this burner assembly will provide many years of reliable service.
All units are shipped with the oil burner installed, and with high rate oil nozzle installed designed for use with No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil. Inspect firepot refractory before firing to be sure it has not been jarred out of position in shipment. Burner air tube must not extend beyond inside surface of firepot. Burner head should be centered on the combustion chamber opening. See Figures 19 and 20.
WARNING
Never attempt to use gasoline in your furnace. Gasoline is more combustible than fuel oil and could result in a serious explosion causing damage, injury or death.
The following is a detailed explanation of each control included in the Becket AFG Oil Burner, how each operates, how to set up the burner, and how to troubleshoot problems should they occur.
BECKETT “CLEANCUT” OIL PUMP
This oil pump is equipped with an oil solenoid valve installed in the pump housing. This feature provides quick cutoffs resulting in reduction in smoke after the burner shuts down. This is a time proven pump design and is capable of both one and two pipe systems. This pump requires a
BECKETT SOLID STATE IGNITER
This igniter differs from the traditional iron core transformer in that it produces a 14,000 volt spark instead of a 10,000 volt spark of the iron core transformer. This hotter spark provides for cleaner, faster ignitions. Being solid state technology this igniter is less susceptible to problems caused by voltage variations. It also has a greater ability to ignite cold and/or inconsistent oil. The solid state igniter is wired to the primary control the same as an iron core transformer.
BECKETT R7184B PRIMARY CONTROL
The R7184B Interrupted Electronic Oil Primary is a line voltage, safety rated, interrupted ignition oil primary control for residential oil burners. The R7184B used with a cad cell flame sensor, operates the oil burner and oil valve. The primary controls fuel oil, senses flame, controls ignition spark and is designed to notify a remote alarm circuit before going into lockout when equipped with a flame monitoring system.
This primary control possesses the latest technology, is a very simple control to operate and provides additional troubleshooting features to ease service and reduce down time. The operational guide for the R7184B primary control is provided following on
