Pre-installation checklist
Combustion air supply
The burner requires combustion air and ventilation air
for reliable operation. Assure that the building and/or
combustion air openings comply with National Fire
Protection Standard for Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA
31. For appliance/burner units in confined spaces, the
room must have an air opening near the top of the room
plus one near the floor, each with a free area at least one
square inch per 1,000 Btu/hr input of all fuel burning
equipment in the room. For other conditions, refer to
NFPA 31 (CSA B1139-M91 in Canada).
Ifthereisa risk of the space beingundernegativepressure
or of exhaust fans or other devices depleting available
air for combustion and ventilation, the appliance/burner
should be installed in an isolated room provided with
outside combustion air.
Clearances
With the burner installed in the appliance, there must be
adequate space in front of and on the sides of the burner
to allow access and operation. Verify that the clearance
dimensions comply with all local codes and with the
appliance manufacturer’s recommendations.

Owner’s Responsibility:
Follow These
Instructions Exactly
Contact a professional, qualified service agency for the
installation, adjustment and service of your oil burning system.
Thereafter, have your equipment adjusted and inspected at
least annually to ensure reliable operation. This work requires
technical training, trade experience, licensing or certification
in some states and the proper use of special combustion test
instruments.
Please carefully read and comply with the following
instructions:
Never store or use gasoline or other flammable
liquids or vapors near this burner or appliance.
Never attempt to burn garbage or refuse in this
appliance.
Never attempt to light the burner by throwing

y
Failure to follow these instructions,
misuse, or incorrect adjustment of
the burner could lead to equipment
malfunction and result in asphyxia-
tion, explosion or fire.
50 Hz Motors - The burner ratings, air settings and nozzle
ratings are based on standard 60 Hz motors (at 3450 rpm).
Derate all ratings 20% when using 50 hz motors. Consult fac-
tory for specific application data.
NOTICE
High altitude installation - Accepted industry practice requires
no derate of burner capacity up to 2000 feet above sea level.
For altitudes higher than 2000 feet, derate burner capacity 2%
for each 1000 feet above sea level.
NOTICE
The burner cannot properly burn the fuel if it is not sup-
plied with a reliable combustion air source.
Follow the guidelines in the latest editions of the NFPA
31 and CSA-B139 regarding providing adequate air for
combustion and ventilation.

Form 6104 BCF23-R05
Nozzle pressure
The fuel unit nozzle port pressure is factory set at 300
psig. Some original equipment manufacturer burner
applications may call for a lower pressure to obtain a
required firing rate. Do not change this pressure un-
less directed to do so by the appliance manufacturer.
Electrical supply
Verify that the power connections available are correct
for the burner. Refer to Figure 1. All power must be
supplied through fused disconnect switches.

y

Fuel supply
The fuel supply piping and tank must provide #1 or #2
fuel oil at pressure or vacuum conditions suitable for
the fuel unit (oil pump) on the burner. Refer to fuel unit
literature in the literature envelope in the burner carton to
verify allowable suction pressure.
When fuel supply is level with or higher than burner
fuel unit —When the fuel unit is not required to lift the
oil, the installation is usually suitable for either a one-
pipe or two-pipe oil system. The oil pressure at the inlet
of the fuel unit must not exceed 3 psig.
The fuel unit is shipped with the by-pass plug installed.
Leave the by-pass plug installed for all low/high firing
burners, regardless whether one-pipe (with by-pass
loop) or two-pipe. See Figure 9 for installation of the by-
pass loop required for one-pipe fuel supply installations.
See Figure 10 for connections to the fuel unit for two-
pipe fuel supply installations.
When fuel supply is below the burner fuel unit —Use
a two-pipe oil system when the fuel unit must lift the oil
more than 8 feet. The return line provided by the two-pipe
system is needed to minimize the effects of air-related
problems during operation.

The oil supply inlet pressure to the burner cannot
exceed 3 psig.
Insure that a pressure limiting device is installed in
accordance with the latest edition of NFPA 31.
Gravity Feed Systems: Always install an anit-siphon
valve in the oil supply line or a solenoid valve (RWB
Part # 21789) in the pump/nozzle discharge tubing to
provide backup oil flow cut-off protection.

Damage to the filter or pump seals could cause
oil leakage and a fire hazard.
Oil Supply Pressure
Control Required
Use only nozzles having the brand, flow rate (gph), spray angle
and pattern specified by the appliance manufacturer.
Follow the appliance manufacturer’s specifications for the
required pump outlet pressure for the nozzle, since this affects
the flow rate.
Nozzle manufacturers calibrate nozzle flow rates at
100 psig.
This burner utilizes pressures higher than 100 psig,
so the actual nozzle flow rate will be greater than the
gph stamped on the nozzle body. (Example: A 8.00
gph nozzle at 150 psig = 9.80 gph and at 300 psig
= 13.86 gph)
For typical nozzle flow rates at various pressures see
accompanying chart.

Vent system
The flue gas venting system must be in good condition
and must comply with all applicable codes.
Verify burner components —
Burner box, Model CF1400 or CF2300A
Air tube assembly
Mounting flange kit
Pedestal mounting assembly kit (recommended)
Oil nozzle, per Table 1 — Use only 45° to 70° solid
pattern nozzles unless otherwise shown by appliance
manufacturer or on the burner nameplate rating
label.
Find the required firing rate in the 300 psig column (high
fire rate).
Select the corresponding nozzle from column 1 (Rated
gph @ 100 psig).
Verify firing rate
Refer to appliance manufacturer’s instructions (if avail-
able) for firing rate and nozzle selection. Otherwise, the
maximum recommended firing rate for the burner de-
pends on the length of the firing chamber and the distance
from the burner center to the chamber floor. Verify that
the chamber dimensions are at least as large as the mini-
mum values given in Figure 2. If the appliance dimen-
sions are smaller than recommended, reduce the firing
rate accordingly.

Models CF1400 and CF2300 are shipped with the
pump bypass plug installed.
Do not remove the bypass plug from the pump. It is
required for step-firing (Lo/Hi) operation.
Do not operate the burner unless a return line
or bypass loop is installed or the pump seal will
rupture.
Carefully comply with the following instructions
provided in this section of the manual.
y

Failure to follow these guidelines will cause
the fuel pump seals to rupture and result in oil
leakage, burner malfunction and potential fire
and injury hazards.
Factory-Installed Pump
Bypass Plug
Connect fuel lines
Fuel unit by-pass plug
The burner is shipped with a by-pass plug installed in the
fuel unit. For low/high operation, the by-pass plug must
be left in the fuel unit, regardless of the fuel system used
(one-pipe with by-pass loop or two-pipe). Do not remove
the by-pass plug.
Oil supply/return lines
Install the oil tank and oil lines in accordance with
all applicable codes.
Size the oil supply and return lines using the
guidelinesgiveninthefuelunitliteratureincludedin
the literature envelope. Oil line flow rate will equal
the burner rate for one-pipe systems. For two-pipe
systems, refer to Table 3 for the fuel unit gearset
capacity - the rate at which fuel is recirculated when
connected to a two-pipe system. Size two-pipe oil
lines based on this flow rate.
Use continuous lengths of heavy-wall copper
tubing, routed under the floor where possible. Do
not attach fuel lines to the appliance or to floor
joists if possible. This reduces vibration and noise
transmission problems.
Install an oil filter sized to handle the fuel unit
gearsetflowcapacity (Table3)fortwo-pipesystems.
However, size the filter for the firing rate for one-
pipe systems. Locate the filter immediately adjacent
to the burner fuel unit.
Install two high-quality shutoff valves in accessible
locations on the oil supply line. Locate one valve
close to the tank. Locate the other valve close to the
burner, upstream of the fuel filter.
Burner fuel flow
One-pipe systems – See Figure 9 for the fuel flow paths
for high-fire and low-fire operation. The low-fire by-pass
regulation is done internally for type B fuel units. Oil
supply connects to one of the fuel unit Inlet ports.
Two-pipe systems – See Figure 10 for the fuel flow
paths for high-fire and low-fire operation. The low-fire
by-pass regulation is done internally for type B fuel units.
Oil supply connects to one of the fuel unit Inlet ports. Oil
return connects to the fuel unit Return port.
Low-fire/high-fire operation – The fuel unit nozzle port
pressure is factory set at 300 psig.
At high fire, full pressure (300 psig) is applied at the
oil nozzle, causing full input.
At low fire, the by-passing is done inside the fuel
unit when the by-pass valve operates.
This by-passing of oil reduces the oil pressure at the
nozzle (to between 125 psig and 175 psig), reducing
the input.

One-pipe oil system by-pass loop
Refer to Figure 9 (item m). Note the addition of a field-
installed by-pass loop (use 3/8” copper tubing) from the
fuel unit Return port to the Inlet port. This line is required
for low/high operation. It simulates the flow of a two-
pipe system at the fuel unit.

Install Oil Supply To
Specifications
Carefully install the oil supply lines, fittings and
components using the guidelines provided in this
section.
The oil supply must comply with the latest edition
of NFPA 31 (Canada CSA B139) and all applicable
codes.
Do NOT install valves in the return line.
If the oil supply inlet pressure to the pump exceeds 3
psig or for gravity feed systems, install an oil safety
or pressure reducing valve (Webster OSV, Suntec
PRV or equivalent).

Install the burner and all wiring in accordance with the National
Electrical Code and all applicable local codes or requirements.
Wire the burner in compliance with all instructions provided by
the appliance manufacturer. Verify operation of all controls in
accordance with the appliance manufacturer’s guidelines.
Sequence of operation — typical
1. Standby — The burner is idle, waiting for a call for heat.
When a call for heat is initiated, there is a 3- to 10-second
delay while the control performs a safe start check.
2. Valve-on delay — As applicable, the ignition and motor are
turned on for a 15-second prepurge.
3. Trial for ignition (TFI) — The fuel valve is opened, as
applicable.Aflame should be establishedwithin the 15-second
lockout time (30-second lockout time is available).
4. Lockout — If flame is not sensed by the end of the TFI, the
control shuts down on safety lockout and must be manually
reset. If the control locks out three times in a row, the control
enters restricted lockout. Call a qualified service technician.
5. Ignitioncarryover— Once flame is established, the ignition
remains on for 10 seconds to ensure flame stability. It then
turns off.
6. Run— The burner runs until the call for heat is satisfied.The
burner is then sent to burner motor-off delay, as applicable,
or it is shut down and sent to standby.
7. Recycle — If the flame is lost while the burner is firing, the
control shuts down the burner, enters a 60-second recycle
delay, and then repeats the ignition steps outlined above. If
the flame is lost three times in a row, the control locks out to
prevent continuous cycling with repetitious flame loss caused
by poor combustion.
8. Burner motor-off delay — If applicable, the fuel valve
is closed and the burner motor is kept on for the selected
postpurge time before the control returns the burner to
standby.

Initial air settings
The following steps outline the procedure for initially
setting the damper. Refer to Figures 13A and 13B and
Tables 4a or 4b for this procedure.
1. Remove the cover screw (A) then the cover (B) and
place to one side.
2. Using the wrench (C) supplied with the damper
motor, adjust the blue low fire cam (D) to the initial
setting listed in Tables 4a or 4b.
3. Using the same wrench, adjust the red high fire cam
(H) to the initial settings listed in Tables 4a or 4b.
4. Ensure the damper plate is in the correct position.
The cam notch (E) should align with the low fire
setting on the damper motor scale (F).
5. If the damper plate is not in the correct position,
disengage the motor by pushing in on the motor pin
(G), then rotating the damper plate until the cam
notch and motor scale setting are aligned. Re-engage
the pin.
6. To adjust the high fire transition, use a small straight
edge screw driver, turn the white adjustment screw,
located in the orange transition cam, either clockwise
or counterclockwise until the cam indicator is half
way between the high and low settings on the scale.
Rotate the air adjusting plate until the lower edge
of the pointer is opposite the number from Tables
4a or 4b corresponding to the desired low fire
rate.
This initial setting should be adequate for starting
the burner at low fire. Once the burner is in
operation, the air setting will be adjusted for best
performance as discussed later in this manual.
Follow the procedures described later in this
manual to fine tune the air settings.

The damper plate is attached by screws to its shaft, and bears
against a flat on the shaft for alignment. The shaft is secured
to the damper motor by a sleeve coupling with two setscrews
bearing against the damper shaft and two more against the
motor shaft. The motor shaft has a flat matching the one on
the damper shaft. The flats on the damper shaft and the motor
shaft should be aligned so that the position indicator in the
damper motor reads accurately. The best way to align the
flats is to tighten the setscrews that bear against the flats on
the shafts first, and then tighten the ones that bear against the
round surface of the shafts afterward.
The test for proper alignment is to disengage the damper motor
from its shaft using the disengaging pin (Item Gin Figure
13B) and rotate the damper plate to its full closed position. The
position indicator should point to 0° within + 5° tolerance.

Start burner and vent air from oil line
Move the low-fire hold switch to the low fire hold
position (to hold burner in low fire when started).
Verify that the air adjusting cam (Figure 13b, item
d) has been set to the initial low-fire air setting as
described under Initial air settings.
Open the oil shutoff valves in the oil supply (and
return) line(s) to the burner.
Set the thermostat (or operating control) to call for
heat.
Close the line switch to the burner. The burner motor
should start immediately.
If the burner motor does not start, reset the motor
overload switch (if so equipped) and press the reset
switch of the burner primary control.
Vent the fuel unit as soon as the burner motor starts
rotating. To vent —
Attach a clear plastic tube to the air bleed valve
(Figure 9 or 10 as applies, item p).
Place the end of the tube in a container to catch the
oil. Then loosen the fuel unit air vent valve.
Tighten the air vent valve after all air has been
purged.
IF burner stops during venting —
The burner primary control will lockout if
flame is not established within its time limit.
This is typically 15 seconds for R7184B
primary controls, but may be less for other flame
supervisory controls.
The burner may lockout several times during the
period needed to purge all the air. To extend air
venting time, press the red reset button for 1/2
second during the prepurge cycle to continue
purging.
IF burner stops after flame established —
Additional venting is probably required. Repeat
the air venting procedure.
Once flame is steady, proceed to Set high-fire air.
Set high-fire air
Allow the burner to run at low fire until the appli-
ance has warmed sufficiently.
Visually check the flame. The flame should not be
dark orange or smoky. If the flame appears to be
smoking, increase the amount of air by readjusting
the damper indicator to a higher number.

Once the appliance has warmed, the high-fire setting
can be checked and adjusted.
Locate the approximate air adjusting plate setting for
high fire in Table 4a or 4b.
Place the low-fire hold switch in the high-fire
position. The damper motor will begin to rotate after
four seconds.
6. Use combustion test instruments to adjust the burner.
a. Adjust the air by moving the red cam to a lower
number until a trace of smoke is achieved with
CO2level as high as possible (lowest possible O2).
Example: 13.5% CO2(2.5% O2) with a trace of
smoke.
b. Increase the air by increasing the red cam number to
reduce CO2by 2 percentage points at a zero smoke
level. (Increase O2by 3 percentage points at a zero
smoke level.)
Example: Reduce CO2from 13.5% to 11.5%, with
zero smoke (or increase O2from 2.5% to 5.5%).
c. A margin of reserve air has been added to
accommodate variable conditions.
Check the breech draft pressure against the appliance
manufacturer’s recommended setting (typically +
0.1” W.C.).
If the breech pressure is higher or lower than
recommended level, adjust the appliance breech
damper to achieve the specified setting. Recheck the
smoke and CO2levels. Adjust burner air if necessary.
Once all settings are complete and satisfactory,
proceed to ‘Set low-fire air’.
Set low-fire air
Move the low-fire hold switch from the “High Fire
position” to the “Low Fire Hold” position.
a. The damper will return to the low-fire air setting.
Check the smoke and CO2(O2) levels.
a. Pull a smoke sample from the flue.
b. The sample should be clean (zero smoke level).
c. Check the CO2(O2) level:
CO2 should be at 11 to 12% (O2at 5.9 to 4.5%).
If the CO2is less than 11% (O2more than 5.9%),
decrease the air and check the smoke level.
Operate the burner from low fire to high fire and back
to verify operation.
Turn the burner off. Wait one or two minutes (for
chamber to clear) and then turn on again to verify
starting characteristics.
Perform limit circuit performance test specified by
appliance manufacturer to verify operation of burner/
appliance combination.
