IMPORTANT:  
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS FOR FUTURE REFERENCE  
1. INTRODUCTION  
All models are shipped assembled and pre-wired. The  
furnace should be carefully inspected for damage when  
being unpacked.  
Please read these instructions completely and carefully  
before installing and operating the furnace.  
The furnace must be installed and set up by a qualified  
contractor  
2. HEAT LOSS  
MODEL 80F  
To determine the correct furnace and firing rate for an  
application, it is necessary to calculate the maximum  
hourly heat loss of the building based on local design  
conditions. In new construction, the heat loss should be  
calculated on a room-by-room basis to enable proper  
sizing of the trunk and branch ducts. In retrofit  
Model 80F is an oil-fired upflow forced air furnace, with  
an output capacity range of 58,100 BTU/Hr. to 78,900  
BTU/Hr. The 80F furnace equipped with a direct drive  
blower may be installed in both horizontal positions.  
applications,  
calculation may be used.  
a
building shell (overall) heat loss  
MODEL 120F  
Model 120F is an oil-fired upflow forced air furnace, with  
an output capacity range of 87,700 BTU/Hr. to 113,400  
BTU/Hr. The 120F furnace equipped with a direct drive  
blower may be installed in both horizontal positions.  
In the United States, Manual J. titled, "Load  
Calculation" published by the Air Conditioning  
Contractors of America, describes a suitable procedure  
for calculating the maximum hourly heat loss.  
NOTE: Furnace models equipped with belt drive blowers  
are not suitable for horizontal applications.  
In Canada, the maximum hourly heat loss may be  
calculated in accordance with the procedures described  
in the manuals of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air  
Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), or by other  
method prescribed by authorities having jurisdiction that  
are suitable for local conditions.  
Both 80F & 120F Model furnaces are listed with the  
Canadian Standards Association, (CSA), complies with  
both Canadian and American (U.S.) standards for use  
with No. 1 (Stove) and No. 2 (Furnace) Oil. Please refer  
to the tables in the appendix for performance and  
dimensional data.  
3. LOCATION OF UNIT  
The furnace should be located such that the flue  
connection to the chimney is short, direct and consists of  
as few elbows as possible. When possible, the unit  
should be centralized with respect to the supply and  
return air duct work. A central location minimizes the  
trunk duct sizing. All models may be installed on  
combustible floors.  
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANK CASE OIL,  
OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.  
In the United States of America, the installation of the  
furnace and related equipment shall be installed in  
accordance with the regulations of NFPA No. 31,  
Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, as well as in  
accordance with local codes.  
Minimum installation clearances are listed in Table 1.  
Table 1: Clearance to Combustibles  
HO-B – All Models  
In Canada, the installation of the furnace and related  
equipment shall be installed in accordance with the  
regulations of CAN/CSA - B139, Installation Code For

In the upflow position, the heat exchanger support screw  
shown in picture may be removed. This may be  
preferable if the furnace rear panel will be inaccessible  
after installation. The screw must be removed if the heat  
exchanger must be removed from the cabinet. Do not  
remove this screw if installing furnace in a horizontal  
position.  
NOTE: The recommended installation clearances do not  
take into consideration the clearances necessary to  
replace the air filter or perform other routine  
maintenance.  
UP-FLOW INSTALLATION  
Both furnaces models have been assembled for  
installation in the up-flow position. Maintain all clearances  
to combustibles as outlined in Table 1. Suggestion; as a  
measure to prevent fuel oil from accumulating in  
locations other than the fire pot, as could be the case in  
the event of nozzle drip, install the furnace with an  
approximate 2 degree slope from the oil burner casing  
towards the fire pot. Use shims made of noncombustible  
material.  
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION  
The furnaces are assembled and shipped ready for  
installation in the up-flow position. The direct drive  
equipped furnace may be installed in either of the  
horizontal positions; warm air discharging left or warm  
air-discharging right by following these steps:  
1. Rotate the furnace 90° to the desired position.  
2. Remove the three nut and washer sets fastening the  
oil burner assembly to the furnace (Beckett Burner)  
or loosen the burner mount Allen screw (Riello  
burner). Rotate the oil burner assembly to be in the  
normal upright position.

specifically approved for such service.  
NON-SUSPENDED INSTALLATION  
The blower speed must be checked and adjusted to  
compensate for the pressure drop caused by the  
evaporator coil. Refer to Appendix B for recommended  
wiring and electrical connections of the air conditioning  
controls.  
Maintain clearances to combustibles as outlined in Table  
1. Installation on a combustible floor requires a clearance  
of 1 inch. This can be done by using a noncombustible  
material such as one-inch thick channel iron or similar  
material. The furnace must be supported in such a way  
as to not allow twisting or sagging of the cabinet.  
Suggestion; as a measure to prevent fuel oil from  
accumulating in locations other than the fire pot, as could  
be the case in the event of nozzle drip, install the furnace  
with an approximate 2 degree slope from the oil burner  
casing towards the fire pot. Use shims made of  
noncombustible material.  
5. COMBUSTION AIR  
When a furnace is installed in the full basement of a  
typical frame or brick house, infiltration is normally  
adequate to provide air for combustion and draft  
operation. If the furnace is installed in a closet or utility  
room, two (2) ventilation openings must be provided  
connecting to a well ventilated space (full basement,  
living room or other room opening thereto, but not a  
bedroom or bathroom). One opening shall be located 6"  
from the top and bottom of the enclosure at the front of  
the furnace. For furnaces located in buildings of  
unusually tight construction, such as those with high  
quality weather stripping, caulking, windows and doors, or  
storm sashed windows, or where basement windows are  
well sealed, a permanent opening communicating with a  
well ventilated attic or with the outdoors shall be provided,  
using a duct if necessary. Size all of the openings and  
associated ductwork by the standards provided in the  
latest Oil Installation Code editions; NFPA 31 in the  
United States, CAN/CSA B139 in Canada. Take all fuel  
burning appliances in the area into consideration when  
calculating combustion and ventilation air requirements.  
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION  
Refer to Figure 1. Maintain clearances to combustibles  
as outlined in Table 1. The furnace may be suspended by  
field fabricating a cradle of angle iron and threaded rod.  
Secure the furnace with 2 inch minimum slotted angle or  
equivalent, as shown in Figure 1. The furnace must be  
supported in such a way as to not allow twisting or  
sagging of the cabinet. Position the supports so as to not  
interfere with accessing the burner and blower  
compartments. Suggestion; as a measure to prevent fuel  
oil from accumulating in locations other than the fire pot,  
as could be the case in the event of nozzle drip, install  
the furnace with an approximate 2 degree slope from the  
oil burner casing towards the fire pot.  
4. AIR CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS  
The Model CAS-2B-90E Furnace Boot manufactured by  
Field Controls, Inc. may be used with the furnace to  
obtain combustion air directly from outdoors. Use of this  
device does not alter the need for ventilation air;  
however, it does provide a good direct source of  
combustion air and is connected directly to the oil burner.  
If the furnace is used in conjunction with air conditioning,  
the furnace shall be installed in parallel with or upstream  
from the evaporator coil to avoid condensation in the heat  
exchanger. In a parallel installation, the dampers or air  
controlling means must prevent chilled air from entering  
the furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, there  
must be a means of control to prevent the operation of  
either system unless the dampers are in the full heat or  
full cool position. The air heated by the furnace shall not  
pass through a refrigeration unit unless the unit is

7. BAROMETRIC DAMPER CONTROL  
This device is used in conjunction with conventional  
chimney venting. This control (or draft regulator)  
automatically maintains a constant negative pressure in  
the furnace to obtain maximum efficiency. It ensures that  
proper pressures are not exceeded. If the chimney does  
not develop sufficient draft, the draft control cannot  
function properly. The draft regulator, must be installed  
within the same room or enclosure as the furnace, and  
should not interfere with the combustion air supplied to  
the burner. The control should be located a minimum of 3  
flue pipe diameters from the furnace breeching and  
IMPORTANT: The chimney must be capable of providing  
sufficient draft at all times for the safe removal of the  
products of combustion.  
The chimney should be tested under “winter” conditions;  
doors and windows closed, all other fossil fuel burning

installed in accordance to the instructions supplied with  
the regulator.  
8. FURNACE CONTROLS  
The furnace is controlled by either of two systems,  
depending on the oil primary control and electronic fan  
timer combination. System 1, used with Beckett burners,  
includes the blower mounted Honeywell ST9103  
ELECTRONIC FAN TIMER (EFT) combined with the R7184  
OIL PRIMARY CONTROL. System 2, used with Riello  
burners, includes the blower mounted Honeywell ST9103  
ELECTRONIC FAN TIMER (EFT) combined with  
a
transformer / burner relay mounted internally on the 40F3  
burner housing to operate the oil burner.  
Figure 4: ST9103 EFT  
condition is detected, one or both limit switches will  
interrupt power to the oil primary control, which will shut  
of the oil burner. The circulating fan will continue to  
operate. The high limit switches will automatically reset  
when the furnace returns to a safe temperature.  
9. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS  
Figure 3: R7184 Oil Primary  
The furnace is listed by the Canadian Standards  
Association (CSA). It is factory wired and requires  
minimal field wiring. In the United States, the wiring must  
be in accordance with the National Fire Protection  
Association NFPA-70, National Electrical Code, and  
with local codes and regulations. In Canada, all field  
wiring should conform to CAN/CSA C22.1 Canadian  
Electrical Code, Part 1, and by local codes, where they  
prevail.  
The furnace functions are controlled by either System 1  
or System 2, and bi-metallic snap disc limit switches.  
These groupings also provide control for add-on air  
conditioning. The ST9103 EFT is located in a control box  
mounted to the blower support rails.  
The circulating fan is controlled by the ST9103 EFT. The  
heat delay-on time is fixed, at 30 seconds. This provides  
a delay between the start of the burner and the start of  
the circulating fan to reduce the amount of ambient  
unheated air flowing through the ductwork. The end of  
the circulating fan cycle is also delayed to remove  
residual heat from the furnace. There are four delay-off  
choices, 60, 90, 120 and 150 seconds, which are field  
adjustable by manipulating the DIP switches on the  
ST9103 EFT board.  
The furnace should be wired to a separate and dedicated  
circuit in the main electrical panel; however, accessory  
equipment such as electronic air cleaners and humidifiers  
may be included on the furnace circuit. Although a  
suitably located circuit breaker can be used as a service  
switch, a separate service switch is advisable. The  
service switch is necessary if reaching the circuit breaker  
involves becoming close to the furnace, or if the furnace  
is located between the circuit breaker and the means of  
entry to the furnace room. The furnace switch (service  
switch) should be clearly marked, installed in an easily  
accessible area between the furnace and furnace room  
entry, and be located in such a manner to reduce the  
likelihood that it would be mistaken as a light switch or  
similar device.  
The cooling delay-on and delay-off times are fixed at 30  
seconds.  
The furnace is protected against over-heating by fixed  
high temperature limits. These controls are factory set  
and are not field adjustable. If an over temperature

high voltage from the auto-generating windings of the  
direct drive motor.  
11. OIL TANK  
Oil storage tanks must be selected and installed in  
compliance with applicable codes; in the United States,  
NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning  
Equipment, Chapter 2. Observe all local codes and by-  
laws. And in Canada, CAN/CSA-B139, Installation Code  
for Oil Burning Equipment, Section 6  
Thermostat wiring connections and air conditioning  
contactor low voltage connections are shown in the wiring  
diagrams. Some micro-electronic thermostats require  
additional controls and wiring. Refer to the thermostat  
manufacturer's instructions.  
In general, the oil tank must be properly supported and  
remain stable in both empty and full condition. The oil  
tank must be fitted with vent and supply pipes to the  
outdoors. Refer to the above-mentioned codes for sizing.  
The vent pipe must be no less than 1¼ inches I.P.S., and  
terminate with an appropriate vent cap in a location  
where it will not be blocked. The fill pipe must be no less  
than 2 inches I.P.S., and terminate with an appropriate  
cap in a location where debris will not enter the fill pipe  
during oil delivery.  
The thermostat should be located approximately 5 feet  
above the floor, on an inside wall where there is good  
natural air circulation, and where the thermostat will be  
exposed to average room temperatures. Avoid locations  
where the thermostat will be exposed to cold drafts, heat  
from nearby lamps and appliances, exposure to sunlight,  
heat from inside wall stacks, etc.  
If located indoors, the tank should normally be in the  
lowest level, (cellar, basement, etc.). It must be equipped  
with a shut-off valve at the tank outlet used for the oil  
supply. The oil tank must be located as to not block the  
furnace / room exit pathway. Observe all clearances  
specified in the above-mentioned codes.  
Normal heat anticipator setting: 0.1 A. For more precise  
adjustment, the heat anticipator may be adjusted to the  
amperage draw of the heating control circuit as  
measured between the "R" and "W" terminals of the  
thermostat. To reduce the risk of damaging the heat  
anticipator, do not measure circuit without first removing  
one of the two wires first. To determine the heating circuit  
amperage draw:  
12. PIPING INSTALLATION  
In the United States the installation must be in  
accordance with the requirements of NFPA No. 31 and  
local codes and regulations.  
1. Disconnect one of the “R” or “W” wires from the  
thermostat terminal.  
In Canada, the entire fuel system should be installed in  
accordance with the requirements of CAN/CSA B139,  
and local regulations. Use only approved fuel oil tanks  
piping, fittings and oil filters.  
2. Connect an ammeter between the wire and the  
thermostat terminal to which it was attached.  
3. Note the amperage reading when the heating  
contacts are closed. (System switch must be on  
HEAT” if so equipped.  
Ensure that all fittings used in a copper oil line system are  
high quality flare fittings. Do not use compression fittings.  
4. Re-connect the thermostat wire. If the thermostat is  
serving a combination heating and air conditioning  
system, pay particular attention to polarity.  
Do not use Teflon tape on any fittings.  
5. When the thermostat is reconnected and re-  
plumbed, adjust the heat anticipator setting to match  
the observed amperage reading.  
Pressurized or gravity feed installations must not exceed  
3 PSIG. Pressures greater than 10 PSIG may cause  
damage to the shaft seal. If the height of the oil stored in  
a tank above the oil burner exceeds 11½ feet, it may be  
necessary to use a pressure-regulating device approved  
for this purpose.  
10. HUMIDIFIER  
A humidifier is an optional accessory available through  
most heating supplies outlets. Installation should be  
carried out in accordance with the humidifier  
manufacturer's installation instructions. Water or water  
droplets from the humidifier should not be allowed to  
come into contact with the furnace heat exchanger.  
Terminals (115 v) are provided on the ST9103 EFT

The furnaces may be installed with a one-pipe system For additional information, see the installation information  
with gravity feed or lift. The maximum allowable lift on a sheet included in the documents envelope or affixed to  
single line system is 8 feet. Lift should be measured from the oil burner.  
the bottom (outlet) of the tank, to the inlet of the burner.  
Sizing a single line system is complex because of the  
difficulty estimating the pressure drop through each  
fitting, bend and component in the line. In general, keep  
single line systems short as possible. If the furnace is to  
be installed in a suspended position, a two-pipe system  
may be the better alternative. 2-stage oil pumps are not  
available for either the Beckett or Riello burner. The  
following chart shows the allowable line lengths  
(horizontal + vertical) for single and two stage oil pumps.  
All distances are in feet.  
NOTE: Both the Beckett and Riello oil burners require the  
use of a bypass plug when converting from single-pipe to  
two-pipe oil piping systems. See burner manufacturer’s  
instructions.  
NOTE: The Riello oil burner is manufactured with British  
Parallel Thread pump ports. Adapters are supplied with  
the oil burner to convert from British Parallel Thread to  
NPT (National Pipe Thread). Direct connection of NPT  
fittings to the Riello oil burner ports will result in damage  
to the pump body. This also applies to pressure and  
vacuum gauges. (See Riello manual)  
In retrofit applications, where an existing oil line system is  
in place, a vacuum check will help determine the efficacy  
of the existing oil line system The vacuum in a system  
featuring a Beckett burner should not exceed 6” Hg. for a  
single pipe system, nor 12” Hg. for a two-pipe system.  
The vacuum in a system featuring a Riello burner should  
not exceed 6” Hg. for a single pipe system, nor 11.44”  
Hg. for a two-pipe system.  
13. OIL FILTER  
All fuel systems should include an oil filter between the  
fuel oil storage tank and the oil burner. For best results,  
install the oil filter as close to the burner as possible.  
When using an indoor oil tank, the oil filter may be  
installed at the tank downstream from the shut-off valve.  
If firing the furnace under the 0.65 gph rate, a 7 to 10  
micron line filter should be installed as close to the oil  
burner as possible.

build-up throughout the heat exchanger passages.  
Excess combustion air causes a bright roaring fire and  
high stack temperatures resulting in poor fuel efficiency.  
CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COMBUSTION  
CHAMBER AND OIL BURNER BEFORE FIRING. IT  
IS POSSIBLE FOR THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER  
TO SHIFT IF SUBJECTED TO ROUGH HANDLING  
DURING TRANSIT.  
PREPARATIONS:  
Drill a ¼” test port in the venting, ideally at least 2 flue  
pipe diameters away from the furnace breeching, if  
venting horizontally from the furnace, or from the flue  
pipe elbow if venting vertically before reaching the  
furnace. (see Figures 5 and 6).  
The cerafelt combustion chamber is quite soft initially.  
After firing, it becomes very brittle. Be sure to do all  
alignment and positioning adjustments before the first  
firing.  
The test port will allow flue gas samples to be taken and  
stack temperatures to be measured.  
The combustion chamber should be inspected for  
damage or carbon build up whenever the oil burner is  
removed for repairs or routine maintenance.  
Before starting the burner, check the burner alignment  
with the combustion chamber (fire pot), check that the  
correct nozzle is tightened into place, and that the burner  
electrodes are properly positioned. The Beckett burner  
bulk air band is should be closed, and the air shutter  
initial setting should be approximately 7.00.

16. BURNER ELECTRODES  
Correct positioning of the electrode tips with respect to  
each other, to the fuel oil nozzle, and to the rest of the  
burners is essential for smooth light ups and proper  
operation.  
Beckett Oil Burner:  
The electrode tips should be adjusted to a gap of 5/32”,  
1/16” ahead of the nozzle, 5/16” above the centerline of  
the nozzle. The “Z” dimension (front edge of the burner  
head to the front face of the nozzle is 1-1/8 inches.  
Riello Oil Burner:  
The electrode tips should be adjusted to a gap of 5/32”,  
3/32” ahead of the nozzle, 13/64” above the centerline of  
the nozzle.  
The electrode porcelains should be free of cracks, the  
electrode tips should be tapered and free of burrs, and  
the contact rods must be clean and be in firm contact  
with the ignition transformer contact springs. The  
electrodes must not come into contact with the burner  
head.  
Note A: Locate hole at least 6 inches on the furnace side  
of the draft control.  
Note B: Ideally, hole should be at least 12 inches from  
breeching or elbow.  
17. OIL BURNER SET UP  
The burner air supply is adjusted to maintain the fuel to  
air ratio to obtain ideal combustion conditions. A lack of  
air causes "soft" and "sooty" flames, resulting in soot  
12  
29733 R2 06/01/2003

Check the oil pump pressure. Refer to Table A1, page  
18, for pump pressure settings.  
Figure 6: Test port location for smoke test vertical.  
After reaching steady state, take a smoke test. If not  
indicating a trace, set the combustion air controls to  
provide a trace.  
Typically, the CO2 reading will range between 11.5% to  
13.5%.  
After the air adjustments have been completed, and the  
air shutter or air adjustment plate has been secured, take  
another smoke test to ensure that the values have not  
changed.  
NOTE: Riello Oil Burners - When taking final test  
readings be sure that the burner cover is in place.  
SMOKE TEST NOTE:  
If oily or yellow smoke spots are found on the smoke test  
filter paper, it is usually a sign of unburned fuel. This  
indicates poor combustion. This type of problem may be  
caused by excess draft, excess air, or contaminated fuel.  
Do not ignore this indicator.  
PROCEDURE:  
Start the burner and allow it to run at least ten minutes.  
Set the air shutter to give a good flame visually. On  
Beckett burners, the combustion air supply to the burner  
is controlled by manipulating the air shutter on the left  
side of the burner, and, if necessary, the bulk air band.  
To adjust, loosen the bolt on the movable shutter. Move  
the shutter gradually until a good flame (visually) has  
been achieved. Re-snug the bolt.  
STACK TEMPERATURE:  
Stack temperature will vary depending on fuel input,  
circulating air blower speed, and burner set up, etc. In  
general, stack temperature should typically range  
between 380°F to 550°F, assuming that the combustion  
air is approximately room temperature (65°F - 70°F). In  
general, lower stack temperature indicates greater  
efficiency; however, excessively low stack temperature  
can lead to condensation forming in the chimney and / or  
venting. Sulphur and similar contaminants in the fuel oil  
will mix with condensation to form acids. Acids and  
resultant chemical salts will cause rapid deterioration of  
the chimney and venting components, and may attack  
the furnace.  
Refer to the Riello Oil Burner Manual for setting the air  
adjustment plate.  
Figure 7: Checking Over-Fire Draft.  
If the flue gases are below the range, it may be  
necessary to slow down the blower fan. If the flue gases  
are above the range, the blower fan may require  
speeding up. Stack temperature varies directly with the  
system temperature rise. System temperature rise is the  
difference between the furnace outlet temperature and  
furnace inlet temperature as measured in the vicinity of  
the connection between the plenum take-offs and the  
trunk ducts. Typical temperature rise values range  
between 60° and 90°F for the Model 80F, 55°F and 85°F  
for the Model 120F.  
If the venting from the furnace to the chimney is long, or  
exposed to cold ambient temperatures, it may be  
necessary to use L-Vent as the vent connector to reduce  
stack temperature loss to prevent condensation. The  
venting should be inspected annually to ensure that it is  
intact.  
Check the initial draft setting as the furnace warms up.  
The draft may be measured at the test port. The breech  
draft should be approximately - 0.05” w.c. to obtain an  
over fire draft reading of - 0.02 inches w.c.

DO NOT CONNECT POWER LEADS BETWEEN  
MOTOR SPEEDS. THE NEUTRAL WIRE MUST  
ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO THE MOTOR'S  
DESIGNATED NEUTRAL TERMINAL.  
IF THE FURNACE FAILS TO IGNITE, CHECK THE  
OIL TANK FUEL GAUGE. IF THE FUEL GAUGE  
SHOWS THAT OIL IS PRESENT, PRESS THE  
RESET BUTTON ONCE ONLY. IF THE BURNER  
FAILS TO IGNITE, CONTACT YOUR SERVICE  
CONTRACTOR.  
It is possible and acceptable to use a single blower speed  
for both heating and cooling modes. The simplest  
method to connect the wiring from both modes is to use a  
"piggy-back connector" accommodating both wires on a  
single motor tap. It is also acceptable to connect the  
selected motor speed with a pigtail joined to both heating  
and cooling speed wires with a wire nut. As a safety  
precaution against accidental disconnection of the wires  
by vibration, it is advisable to secure the wire nut and  
wires with a few wraps of electricians tape.  
ALL FURNACE CONTROLS ARE SENSITIVE AND  
SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO TAMPERING. IF  
PROBLEMS PERSIST, CALL YOUR SERVICE  
CONTRACTOR.  
If the joining of the blower speed wiring is done in the  
furnace junction box, tape off both ends of the unused  
wire.  
BELT DRIVE  
18. CIRCULATING AIR BLOWER  
The HO-B Models are available with an optional belt drive  
blower assembly. Belt drive blower systems can be  
modified for a variety of speeds and air delivery by  
adjusting the variable speed motor pulley, and / or by  
changing the blower pulley.  
DIRECT DRIVE  
The HO-B furnaces may be equipped with a direct drive  
blower system. Direct drive blower speed adjustments  
are not normally required in properly sized extended  
plenum duct systems. The motor RPM and air CFM  
delivery will vary automatically to accommodate  
conditions within the usual range of external static  
pressures typical of residential duct systems. Under-sized  
duct systems may require a higher blower speed to  
obtain a reasonable system temperature rise. Some older  
duct systems were not designed to provide static  
pressure. They typically feature special reducing fittings  
at each branch run and lack block ends on the trunk  
ducts. These systems may require modification to  
provide some resistance to the airflow to prevent over-  
amping of the direct drive blower motor. Selecting a lower  
blower speed may correct this problem.  
The variable speed motor pulley may be adjusted by  
loosening the 5/32 Allen set screw in the outer sheave,  
and turning the outer sheave clockwise to increase  
blower speed; counter clockwise to reduce blower speed.  
Ensure that the setscrew is tightened at one of the "flat  
spots", failure to do so will convert the variable speed  
pulley to a fixed speed pulley by ruining the threads.  
Changing the blower pulley can also modify the blower  
speed. A smaller blower pulley will cause the blower to  
turn faster; a larger pulley will reduce blower speed.  
Large increases in blower speed will increase power  
requirements. Check the amperage draw of the blower  
motor after changes have been made. If the amperage  
draw is greater than the value listed on the motor rating  
plate, replace with a motor with a higher horsepower  
rating.  
Direct drive blower speeds are adjusted by changing the  
"hot" wires to the motor winding connections. Please  
refer to wiring diagram in Appendix B or the wiring The fan belt tension is very important. There should be a  
deflection of between ¾ of an inch to 1 inch. Less  
deflection places a strain on the blower bearings, and  
increases start up amperage draw. More deflection  
allows excess slippage and causes premature motor  
pulley wear. Automotive belt dressings are not  
recommended. A hard soap such as Sunlight® soap will  
work well as a belt dressing, for the purpose of reducing  
belt squeaks, etc. If used, the soap should be applied to  
the sides of the belt only.

19. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE  
A: Routine Maintenance By Home Owner  
Other than remembering to arrange for the annual  
professional servicing of the furnace by the service or  
installation contractor, the most important routine service  
performed by the homeowner is to maintain the air filter  
or filters. A dirty filter can cause the furnace to over-heat,  
fail to maintain indoor temperature during cold weather,  
increase fuel consumption and cause component failure.  
The furnace filter(s) should be inspected, cleaned or  
replaced monthly. The furnace is factory equipped with a  
semi-permanent type filter. If the filter is damaged,  
replace with filters of the same size and type.  
During the routine service, inspect the general condition  
of the furnace watching for signs of oil leaks in the vicinity  
of the oil burner, soot forming on any external part of the  
furnace, soot forming around the joints in the vent pipe,  
etc. If any of these conditions are present, please advice  
your service or installation contractor.

A) The oil burner must be set up following the  
procedures outlined in section 17: Oil Burner Set Up.  
B: Annual Service By Contractor  
B) The 80F should operate within a temperature rise of  
60°F to 90°F, the 120F; 55°F to 85°F. To determine the  
temperature rise, measure the supply air and return air  
temperatures when the furnace has reached steady state  
conditions. This is the point at which the supply air  
temperature stops increasing relative to the return air  
temperature. The furnace may have to run 10 to 15  
minutes to reach steady state conditions. The  
measurements may be made with duct thermometers or  
thermocouples used in conjunction with multi-meters with  
temperature measurement capabilities.  
THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER (FIREPOT) IS  
FRAGILE. USE CARE WHEN INSPECTING AND  
CLEANING THIS AREA.  
The heat exchanger should be inspected periodically and  
cleaned if necessary. if cleaning is necessary, SHUT  
OFF POWER TO THE FURNACE and remove the  
burner. Using a stiff brush with a wire handle, brush off  
scale and soot from inside the drum and flue pipe. To  
clean the radiator, remove the round covers on the inner  
radiator access pipes located on the front panel between  
the oil burner and the flue pipe.  
The return air should be measured at a point where the  
thermometer will be well within the air stream near the  
furnace return air inlet. Actual location is not particularly  
critical; however, avoid locations where the temperature  
readings could be affected by humidifier bypass ducts,  
the inside radius of elbows, etc.  
A wire brush can be used to loosen dirt and debris on the  
inside surfaces of the radiator. Clean out all accumulated  
dirt, soot and debris with a wire handled brush and an  
industrial vacuum cleaner. Replace the clean-out covers.  
The supply air temperature should be measured at a  
point where the thermometer will be well within the air  
stream near the furnace supply air outlet. Usually, the  
side mid-point of the supply air plenum take-off is ideal,  
providing it is out of the line of sight to the heat  
exchanger. If the thermometer is within the line of sight of  
the heat exchanger, the supply air readings may be  
skewed by radiant heat from the heat exchanger. If the  
plenum take-off is unsuitable, the supply air temperature  
may be measured within the first 18 inches of the first  
segment of supply air trunk duct.  
Most circulating fan motors are permanently lubricated by  
the motor manufacturer. These motors will have no oil  
ports. If the blower motor does contain oil ports, under  
normal operating conditions it will not require oiling for the  
first two years. Oil sparingly; a few drops in each oil port  
with SAE 20 non-detergent oil. Oiling is most easily done  
with a "tele-spout" oiler. This oilier has a long flexible  
plastic spout. DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE. Excess oil  
may result in premature electric motor failure.  
If the temperature rise is outside the recommended  
range, it may be adjusted on direct drive equipped units  
by selecting alternate circulation fan motor speeds, or on  
belt drive equipped units, by adjusting the variable speed  
motor pulley or by blower pulley changes. If the  
temperature rise is too high, speed the fan up. If the  
temperature rise is too low, slow the fan down.  
Inspect the blower fan. Clean it if necessary.  
Oil Burner Maintenance: Follow the instructions of the oil  
burner manufacturer. (See oil burner manufacturer's  
instructions supplied with furnace). The oil burner nozzle  
should be replaced annually. We recommend that the oil  
filter be changed on an annual basis.  
C) Keep in mind that the stack temperature varies  
directly with the temperature rise. The higher the  
temperature rise, the higher the stack temperature will  
be, resulting in lower efficiency. The lower the  
temperature rise, the lower the stack temperature will be,  
which, in some cases, may allow condensation to form in  
the chimney and other vent parts.  
The venting system should be cleaned and inspected for  
signs of deterioration. Replace pitted or perforated vent  
pipe and fittings. The barometric damper should open  
and close freely.  
All electrical connections should be checked to ensure  
tight connections. Safety controls such as the high limit  
controls should be tested for functionality. The fan control  
functions should be checked to ensure that all fan speeds  
are operating properly.  
D) Test the high limit control to ensure that it is  
operating correctly. This may be done by temporarily  
removing the circulator fan heating wire or neutral wire.  
On furnaces equipped with belt drive blowers, the fan belt  
may be temporarily removed. Turn of electrical power to  
the furnace before working with the motor wires. Be sure  
to protect any removed wires from shorting out on metal  
furnace parts. If the high limit test is successful, shut off  
the electrical power to the furnace, restore the proper

power to the furnace.  
120 or 150 seconds after the oil burner has stopped,  
depending on the dip switch settings.  
E) Operate the furnace through a minimum of three full  
heating cycles. During this time, check for fuel oil leaks,  
gross air leakage from the supply air ductwork, unusual  
noises originating anywhere within the heating system  
which may cause some concern or annoyance to the  
home owner, etc.  
To Shut Down Unit  
Set the thermostat to the lowest possible setting.  
Set the manual switch (if installed) in the Electrical Power  
Supply Line to "OFF".  
NOTE: If the furnace is to be shut down for an extended  
period of time, close the oil supply valve to the oil burner.  
F) Be sure that the homeowner is familiar with the  
furnace. The homeowner should be aware of the location  
of electrical circuit breaker or fuse, the location of any  
electrical switches controlling the furnace, the location of  
the oil tank shut-off valve and how to operate the valve.  
The homeowner should know where the oil tank gauge is  
located and how to read it.  
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE BURNER WHEN  
EXCESS OIL HAS ACCUMULATED, WHEN THE  
FURNACE IS FULL OF VAPOUR, OR WHEN THE  
COMBUSTION CHAMBER IS VERY HOT. NEVER  
BURN GARBAGE OR PAPER IN THE FURNACE, AND  
NEVER LEAVE PAPER OR RAGS AROUND THE UNIT.  
It would be beneficial to review safety issues with the  
home owner, such as the danger of storing combustibles  
too close to the furnace, hanging anything on the furnace  
vent pipe, and especially the dangers of indiscriminately  
pressing the burner reset button.  
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the home owner knows where  
the burner reset switch is located, and is aware that the  
reset switch is not to be activated more than once without  
a look for the cause of the problem, (lack of fuel, etc.). Be  
sure that the homeowner knows when to quit trying to  
start the furnace during these conditions and who to call  
for emergency service.  
21. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS  
Before Lighting  
Open all supply and return air registers and grilles.  
Open all valves in oil pipes.  
Turn on electric power supply.  
To Light Unit  
Set the thermostat above room temperature to call for  
heat. The burner will start. NOTE: If the furnace has been  
off for an extended period of time, it may be necessary to  
press the RESET button on the primary combustion  
control relay, (once only). If pressing the reset button  
does not start the furnace, refer to Appendix C,  
Troubleshooting.  
After 30 or 45 seconds (depending on EFT), as the  
furnace becomes warm, circulation fan will start.  
The furnace will continue to run until the thermostat call  
for heat is satisfied.  
Set the thermostat below room temperature. The oil  
burner will stop.

WIRING NOTES:  
NOTE: It is seldom advisable to operate an electronic air  
cleaner at the continuous low speed because of the  
potential for excess ozone generation.  
HO-B SERIES OIL FURNACE  
CONTINUOUS FAN OPERATION:  
The HUM terminals provide power to a line voltage  
humidifier or humidifier step down transformer when the  
oil burner motor is operating.  
The ST9103 EFT has provisions to run the blower motor  
continuously on a speed lower than the cooling or heating  
speeds. On a call for cooling, the fan motor will switch to  
cooling speed, and on a call for heating, the fan will  
switch to heating speed, each over-riding the continuous  
low speed fan.  
THERMOSTAT HEATING CONNECTIONS:  
The thermostat connections “R” and “W”, or “RH” and  
“W” connect to the “R” and “W” screw terminals shown  
on the left hand side of Figure 10, on the ST9103 EFT  
located in the control box mounted to the blower  
mounting rails.  
To obtain continuous low speed fan, route a 16 gauge  
stranded, type TEW, 105°C wire from the CONT Terminal  
on the ST9103 EFT to the low speed or medium low  
speed motor terminal. Both wire ends will require ¼ inch  
quick connects, (also known as “Faston” connectors or  
¼” spade connectors). For additional control over the  
continuous low speed fan circuit, a SPST toggle switch  
may be wired in series between the motor terminal and  
the ST9103 terminal. The continuous low speed fan  
operation operates at 115 vac. Use appropriate wiring  
methods to prevent electrical shock.  
Figure 9: Thermostat Connections ST9103  
TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE  
FURNACE WHEN SERVICING OR ALTERING  
FURNACE WIRING.  
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE  
PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR  
DEATH.  
NOTE: All thermostat wires for both heating and cooling  
connect to the furnace at this point. A factory installed  
wiring harness connects the heating control functions to  
the R7184 oil primary control.  
ACCESSORIES:  
The ST9103 EFT has provisions for supplying 115 volt  
power to an electronic air cleaner (EAC) as well as 115  
volts to a line voltage humidifier or humidifier step down  
transformer. Both sets of terminals are ¼ inch quick  
connect type, rated at 1 A each.  
Figure 8, page 14, shows the detail of the timed “Blower  
Off” dipswitch settings. Figure 10 shows the dipswitch  
location along the bottom edge of the control board, just  
above the “Honeywell” label.  
The EAC terminals provide power to an electronic air  
cleaner whenever the heating or cooling speeds are  
activated. Power is not provided when the continuous  
speed is activated. If the electronic air cleaner must run  
during continuous low speed fan operation, wire the EAC  
into the furnace L1 terminal.

Power is applied to unit. The R7184 completes a self-diagnostic procedure. If no light or flame is present, and unit  
passes its self-diagnostic procedure, the control enters into the idle mode.  
Thermostat calls for heat:  
A. Safety check is made for flame (4 second delay).  
1. When flame is not present, the R7184 will apply power to the burner motor and igniter.  
2. When flame is present, the control remains in the idle state.  
B. Unit enters and completes a pre-purge period of 15 seconds, then applies power to the solenoid valve.  
C. Control enters the trial for ignition state.  
D. Control monitors the burner flame.  
1. When flame is present, the control enters ignition carryover state. (Continues to spark for 10 sec.).

R7184 LED DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT  
Troubleshooting  
The LED diagnostic light has several functions. It  
indicates the state or mode in which the oil burner is  
operating. It will also indicate fault conditions, and help  
determine cad cell resistance while the burner is  
operating.  
IMPORTANT:  
Due to the potential hazard of line voltage,  
only a trained, experienced service  
technician should perform the  
troubleshooting procedure.  
NORMAL CONDITIONS:  
PRELIMINARY STEPS:  
The LED diagnostic light will turn on when the burner  
enters the carryover state; the point at which ignition  
spark is on, and will remain on through the run state,  
where the ignition spark is terminated but the burner  
continues to fire.  
Check the diagnostic light for indications of burner  
condition. Refer to R7184 LED DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT  
section for details.  
The LED diagnostic light will turn off at the end of the  
burner cycle as the R7184 enters the idle state, and  
will remain off until the next heating cycle.  
FAULT CONDITIONS:  
When simulating a call for heat at the R7184,  
disconnect at least one thermostat lead wire from the  
T1 - T2 terminals to prevent damage to the thermostat.  
Neglecting this procedure may burn out the heat  
anticipator of a standard 24 VAC thermostat, or cause  
If the LED diagnostic light is flashing quickly; 1 Hz (½  
second on / ½ second off), the R7184 is in the lockout  
state or in restricted mode. To exit the lockout state,

harm to components within  
thermostat.  
a
micro-electronic  
If the LED diagnostic light is flashing slowly; ¼ Hz (2  
seconds on / 2 seconds off), the R7184 is in the  
recycle state. This indicates that flame sensing was  
lost after the lockout timer expired during the ignition  
carryover state. The R7184 will return to the idle state  
within 60 seconds.  
Before checking the oil primary control, perform these  
preliminary checks, (repair or replace controls as  
necessary):  
CAD CELL CONDITION:  
If the LED diagnostic light is off, the cad cell is not  
sensing flame.  
Sꢀ check the power supply; fuse box or breaker, any  
service switches, all wiring connections, and  
burner motor reset button (if equipped).  
Sꢀ check the limit switches to ensure that the switch

contacts are closed.  
Sꢀ check the electrode gap and position.  
The resistance of the cad cell may be checked while  
the R7184 is in the run state by pressing the reset  
button. The LED diagnostic light will flash the following  
code:  
Sꢀ check the contacts between the oil primary control  
and the electrodes.  
Sꢀ check oil supply (tank gauge).
