OIL BURNER SPECIFICATIONS The oil burner nameplate decal includes a series code which identifies the major features of the oil burner. The series number is the last three digits of the burner code number. Table 3 below describes the oil burner characteristics for each series number.
• The discharge opening of the relief valve should always be piped to an open drain. • Choose the point of major hot water usage, fuel supply and chimney. • Try to make hot water and oil piping as short as possible. •...
MULTIPLE HEATER FLUES When two or more oil-fired water heaters are connected to a single chimney or vent there shall be sufficient draft available for safe combustion and removal of combustion products to the outdoors from each heater. Refer to local codes for connection details. Only one oil-fired water heater should be connected to any one type L venting system.
A TYPICAL HEATER INSTALLATION - FIGURE 9 Refer to pages 2, 3, and 4 in this manual for more information about burner series numbers and characteristics for adaptability to the following systems. SYSTEM TYPES Single Stage, Supply Line Only: The bottom of the oil storage tank must be above the level of the fuel unit, fig.
GENERAL All heaters are shipped with the pump pressure set at 100 psig except the GPO 86-199 which is set at 110 psig. All oil pumps are fitted for installation on single fuel line systems. The pump may be adapted for two line service by using the by-pass Plug and pump manufacturer's instructions packed with the burner.
OPERATION GENERAL Never operate the heater unless the tank is filled with water and a temperature and pressure relief valve is installed. FILLING 1. Oil burner electrical disconnect switch should be in the "OFF position 2. Close the heater drain valve. 3.
DUAL-BULB THERMOSTAT (COVER REMOVED) FIGURE 17 BURNER CERTIFICATE (COMBUSTION TEST) The Commercial Standard CS75 Oil Burner Certificate form must be filled in and posted in the vicinity of the water heater. Instructions for filling in certificate are on the back of the certificate. This must be done by the installer at the time the heater is first operated.
SEDIMENT REMOVAL Water borne impurities consist of fine particles of soil and sand which settle out and form a layer of sediment on the bottom of the tank. For convenience, sediment removal and lime scale removal should be performed at the same time. LIME SCALE REMOVAL The amount of calcium carbonate (Lime) released from water is in direct proportion to water temperature and usage, see chart.
• Observe interior through opening - a small flashlight may be used effectively. • If the interior still shows water scale, the deliming process should be continued. • To check UN•LIME® for continued use or reuse, place some lime scale or white chalk into a glass with a small amount of the solution. If the material is vigorously dissolved by the solution, the UN•LIME®...

TWO TEMPERATURE-ONE HEATER HIGH TEMPERATURE STORAGE NOTE 1: TOGGLE SWITCH CONTROLS 180°F WATER CIRCULATION. INSTALL ON OR CLOSE TO DISHWASHING MACHINE . TOGGLE SWITCH MUST BE CLOSED (ON) DURING THE RINSE OPERATION AND OPEN (OFF) WHEN DISHWASHER IS NOT OPERATING. NOTE 2: INSTALL LINE TEMPERATURE CONTROL IN AN UNINSULATED TEE BEYOND THE DISHWASHING MACHINE TAKEOFF IN THE SANITIZING LOOP.
MANIFOLD KIT COMMERCIAL OIL FIRED WATER HEATERS Precision cut type "L" all copper State manifold kits assure water flow balance of all units. Without this balance, the full water heating and storage potential of the system cannot be achieved. Plus, the units with the higher water flow may have a shortened life.
If the problem is not getting a spark to ignite the oil, check for the following: 1. Loose wiring. 2. Red ignition transformer. 3. Low voltage. 4. Crack in electrode porcelain insulators. 5. Electrodes carboned or out of adjustment. 6. Weak or no contact between bus bars and terminals of transformer. NORMAL START, BUT LOCKS OUT ON SAFETY When the thermostat calls for heat and the burner starts normally but then locks out on safety after about 15 seconds:...
TROUBLE CAUSE Oil level below intake line in supply tank. Clogged strainer or filter. Clogged nozzle. Air leak in intake line. Restricted intake line. (High vacuum reading). No Oil Flow A two line pipe system that becomes air bound. at Nozzle A single line pipe system that becomes air bound.
