It is possible and acceptable to use a single blower speed
4.
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
5.
single motor tap. It is also acceptable
to connect the
6.
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
7.
by vibration, secure the wire nut and wires with a few
wraps of electricians tape.

SPEEDS.
THE

WIRE
MUST

BE
CONNECTED
TO
THE
MOTOR'S
DESIGNATED NEUTRAL TERMINAL.
If the joining of the blower speed wiring is done in the
furnace junction box or control box, tape off both ends of
the unused wire.

19. INITIAL START
UP
Once
the furnace
flue
pipe,
electrical
and oil line
connections
have
been
made,
use
the
following
instructions to set up the furnace:
1.
Shut off the electrical power to the furnace.
=
Install an oil pressure gauge to the pressure port on
the oil pump. (Refer to the oil pump specification
sheet included with the burner instructions).
3.
Restore electrical power to the furnace.
=
=
10.
Start the furnace and bleed all air from the fuel oil
lines.
Close the purge valve and fire the unit.
Follow the procedures outlined in 17. - Oil Burner Set
Up, (page 10).
Check the system temperature rise with a pair of duct
thermometers.
The temperature rise is the difference
between the return air temperature
measured at a
point near the return air inlet, and the supply air
temperature
measured near the furnace outlet. The
system temperature
rise will typically range between
65°F and 95°F. If the temperature rise is too high, the
airflow must be increased. If the temperature
rise is
too low, the fan should be slowed down.
Turn
off
the
oil
burner.
Observing
the
duct
thermometer
in the supply
air stream,
note the
temperature
at which the blower fan stops. The fan
adjustments
are made by manipulating
the FAN ON
and FAN OFF levers. EXAMPLE:
If the "FAN OFF"
setting is observed to be 100°F, and the actual "fan
off"
temperature
as
indicated
by
the
duct
thermometer
is 110°F, the "FAN OFF" setting on the
fan / limit control can be reset to 90 ° (one notch
clockwise),
to cause an actual
fan shutdown
at
100°F. Normally, the 'FAN ON" setting is set to be
approximately
30 ° higher than the "FAN OFF" setting.
Some
downflow
applications
require
a
greater
difference; 40 ° - 50°F.
To check the operation of the limit switch, shut off
power to the furnace. Temporarily remove the neutral
wire from the direct drive blower motor. Restore the
electrical power to the furnace and set the thermostat
above room temperature. After three or four minutes
of burner operation, the limit control should turn the
burner off. Progress towards a high limit shut down
can be monitored by watching the dial on the fan /
limit control. When the limit function test is complete,
first, shut off electrical power to the furnace, replace
the neutral wire to the blower fan motor, then restore
power. The blower fan will start
up immediately.
Once the temperature has dropped, the oil burner will
resume and continue until the thermostat is satisfied.
Restore
the thermostat
setting
to a comfortable
temperature.
Set the thermostat heat anticipator to 0.3 A, or follow
the procedure outlined in 9. Electrical Connections,
(page 8).
NOTE: THE FURNACE SHOULD BE RUN THROUGH
AT LEAST THREE
FULL CYCLES
BEFORE
LEAVING THE INSTALLATION,
TO ENSURE
THAT
ALL
CONTROLS
ARE
OPERATING
PROPERLY AND AS EXPECTED,
