Heating Sequence - Actions & Responses
1. Action: Thermostat calls for heat (W terminal is en
ergized)
Response:
Oil primary control is energized. Heat fan on timing
D
(1 to 30 seconds - non-adjustable) begins. When
timing is complete, the indoor blower is at heat
speed.
After 15-second prepurge, power is sent to the oil
D
delay valve, ignition occurs and flame is
established.
Ignition sequence continues for 10 seconds after
D
flame is sensed. Oil will continue to flow as long as
cad cell senses flame.
2. Action: Thermostat ends call for heat (W terminal is
de-energized)
Response:
After the thermostat is satisfied, the thermostat
D
circuit opens. The oil delay valve and burner are
de-energized.
Burner is de-energized.
D
Heat fan off timing (60 to 120 seconds) begins.
D
When timing is complete, indoor blower is de-en
ergized.
Blower control returns to standby mode (oil prima
D
ry control and indoor blower are off).
3. Action: Burner fails to light
Response:
D
Oil primary control enters soft lockout after ignition
failure (15 seconds without flame being sensed).
Push reset button on primary control for one sec
ond to reset soft lockout.
D
After soft lockout reset, oil primary control allows
second ignition attempt. Primary control enters
hard lockout after second ignition failure (15 sec
onds without flame being sensed). Push reset but
ton on primary control for 15 seconds until light on
control turns yellow to reset hard lockout.
Burner motor is de-energized.
D
4. Action: Established flame fails
Response:
Burner motor is de-energized and oil primary con
D
trol goes into recycle mode.
If the fan off delay is longer than the recycle timing,
D
the indoor blower continues to run on heating
speed through the next trial for ignition.
5. Action: Limit Switch Opens
Response:
Oil primary control de-energizes burner.
D
Indoor blower is energized immediately at cool
D
speed.
Oil primary control is de-energized.
D
Indoor blower runs as long as limit stays open.
D
6. Action: Limit Switch Closes
Response: If there is a heating demand, oil primary
control is energized and ignition sequence begins.
Troubleshooting
Burner failure or improper operation can result from a num
ber of different causes. Often the cause can be pinpointed
by observing the different types of failure or by the process
of elimination. The following troubleshooting charts list
some failures, causes and a sequence of steps to isolate
the point of failure. Check the simplest and most obvious
items before progressing to other items.
