Interrupted Ignition Series Oil Primary Control • Controls oil burner, oil valve (if desired) and the ignition transformer in response to a call for heat. • ICM patented energy transfer technology ensures fuel valve and pump will only be energized if the control is properly functioning • LED to indicate system lockout • Enclosed safety switch with external reset button • Direct replacement for popular competitive models Application Guide & Installation Instruction for ICM1511*, ICM1512*, ICM1513*, ICM1514* For more information on our complete range of American-made products – plus wiring diagrams, troubleshooting tips and more, visit us at www.icmcontrols.com...
Application ICM’s Interrupted Ignition Oil Primary Control is ideal for residential oil-fired burners used in boilers, forced air furnaces, and water heaters. The oil primary: • Controls fuel oil • Senses the flame • Commands ignition spark • Triggers a remote alarm circuit when in lockout The ICM Interrupted Ignition Oil Primary Control can be used with hydronic and forced air systems.
Features • Thermostat Compatibility • Limited Recycle: – Number of recycle trials is limited to three per heat call – Lockout results when flame extinguishes three times without a successful heat call • Pump Priming Cycle: – Place the oil primary control in purge cycle by pressing and releasing the unit’s reset button when in delayed valve-on, safety check, ignition, or carry-over periods.

– Every time there is a successful heat call, the count will return to zero – From restricted mode, reset by pressing and holding the reset button for 30 seconds. When the LED flashes twice, reset has been accomplished • T-T Jumper: Remove a factory-installed T-T jumper resistor by cutting it with side- cutting pliers •...

Troubleshooting and Maintenance Due to the potential hazard of line voltage, only a trained, experienced service technician should preform the troubleshooting procedures. This control contains no field-serviceable parts. Do not attempt to take it apart. Replace entire control if operation is not as described. T o completely troubleshoot an oil burner installation, check the burner and oil primary control for proper operation and condition.
