Page 3: Safety Section
See Page 28 WARNING: Velocity oil furnaces are designed to burn No. 1 or No. 2 distillate fuel oil. NEVER USE GASOLINE OR A MIXTURE OF OIL AND GASOLINE. A biofuel mixture may be used but the mixture is not to exceed a B5.
Page 5: Codes And Clearances
The entire text of these instructions must be read and understood, before installing the appliance. It is the installer's responsibility to do the following: 1. Inform and demonstrate to the user, the correct operation and maintenance of the appliance, as explained in the Homeowner/User Information and Routine Maintenance section of this manual.
Page 6: Make-Up Air
The Velocity Make-Up-Air Control, installs quickly and easily on any warm air heating system, delivers controlled, fresh air automatically during the winter and a constant supply of clean, fresh air for...
Page 7: General Instructions
II. GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS - READ BEFORE START OF INSTALLATION 1. The heating output capacity of the furnace proposed for installation should be based on a heat loss calculation made according to the manuals provided by the Air Conditioning Contractors of America (ACCA) or the American Society of Heating, Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Engineers, Inc.
Page 8: Chimney
The following are common chimney requirements necessary for the furnace to operate correctly: A masonry chimney serving a Velocity oil fired furnace must comply with local codes and NFPA Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents, and Solid Fuel Burning Appliances (NFPA211-1996 or latest edition).
Page 9 2. PROPER CHIMNEY HEIGHT: The chimney shall terminate at least 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building and at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within a horizontal distance of 10 feet. (See Fig.
Page 10 4. PROPER CHIMNEY BOTTOM LEVEL: In cases where the chimney extends to the basement floor, the draft can usually be improved by filling the base of the chimney with sand to within 12 inches of the vent connector pipe after relocating the clean-out door.
Page 11 Fig. 7: Alternate constructions that allow reduced clearances to combustible materials. REDUCTION OF CLEARANCES WITH SPECIFIED FORMS OF PROTECTION: Type of protection applied to and covering all surfaces of combustible material within the distance specified as the required clearance with no protection unless otherwise noted, all dimensions in inches, refer to Fig.
Page 12: Venting
B. VENTING: NOTE: On the VCH8FA119* it is possible to rotate the flue elbow (which is factory installed for vertical discharge) 90° counter clockwise or clockwise from the vertical position to adapt to various venting systems. Notice: Blocked Vent Switch Installation The blocked vent switch kit must be installed to comply with CAN STD B140.4 where applicable.
Page 13: Draft Regulators
C. DRAFT REGULATORS: Note: Do not use with Direct Vent application. A draft regulator is supplied with the furnace and should be installed according to the regulator manufacturers recommendations. With the burner operating, use a draft gauge to adjust the regulator to the proper setting.
Page 14: Air Filter(S)
E. Air Filter Mounted External to Furnace: On highboy furnaces, it is necessary to cut the return air opening in the side, rear casing or base, depending upon the needs of the specific installation. The filter rack provided with the furnace, refer to Fig.
Page 15 * The supplied filter can be cut to size to fit other filter retention systems as long as maximum air velocity of the filter is not exceeded. NOTICE: Any internal stiffeners used in the filter must not be removed, although...
Page 16: Limit Position And Location
F. LIMIT POSITION AND LOCATION WARNING: The predetermined limit locations on all of the Velocity oil-fired furnaces have been tested and approved. Any attempt to relocate these safety controls or replace these safety controls with a control that is not approved, or is incompatible, may result in personal injury, substantial property damage or death.
Page 17: Burner Specifications And Applications
Fig. 12: Burner insertion illustration (Top view) When mounting the burner, the mounting plate (Fig. 11) must be removed to provide access to the area in front of the combustion chamber. A fiber insulating sleeve or amulet is provided on the burner tube of specific burners.(see Fig.
Page 18: Oiltank And Piping
I. OIL TANK AND PIPING: : All local codes and ordinances take precedence with regard to selection and installation of oil storage tank and oil supply (and return) lines. In the absence of local codes, all tanks and lines must be selected and installed according to the instructions in this manual and the Standard for the Installation of Oil-Burning Equipment, NFPA 31-1997, or the latest edition.
Page 19 Wire size selections in Table 7 are based upon Table 310-16 of the National Electrical Code for three copper conductors, with insulation rated for 75 degrees Celsius, contained in raceway at 30 degrees Celsius. For other wire insulation temperature ratings and ambient conditions, refer to the National Electrical Code for the minimum wire sizing requirements.
Page 20: Blower Setup
The proper thermostat heat anticipator setting is 0.1 ampere. To increase the length of the cycle, increase the setting of the heat scale; to decrease the length of the cycle, decrease the setting of the heat scale. Thermostat models having a scale as shown in Figure 14 on the next page, must be adjusted to each application.

Page 24 A. Inputs Power supplies Line voltage is applied between the “S1” and “N1” quick connect terminals. 24 VAC Class II Transformer secondary voltage supplied to X and C Limit switch The 120 VAC optically isolated limit switch input is connected on pin P2-1 & 9. Refer to the Heat Mode section for the control operation.
Page 25 EAC (electronic air cleaner) The control provides a 120 VAC output for an electronic air cleaner. This output is energized whenever the fan motor is energized (either low, heat or cool speed). Connection is made via male quick connect terminal labeled “EAC”. Humidifier The control provides a 120 VAC output for a humidifier.
Page 26 Heat Mode When a call for heat (“W”) is received from the thermostat, if the “Cool” mode is not already active, the “T-T” terminal is energized and the blower on delay is started. The on-off pattern of DIP switch SW2 (positions 1 and 2) select one of four blower on delay values (see Table 11).
Page 27 PSC AND CTM TROUBLE SHOOTING DIAGNOSTIC FEATURES The control board is equipped with 4 green Input Status LEDs and 1 red Board Status LED. These are intended to provide a quick view into furnace performance without requiring a voltmeter. The green Input Status LEDs are driven by the “Y”, “W”, “G”, and “DEHUM” inputs and are located directly below those inputs.
Page 28: Startup Procedures
N. STARTUP PROCEDURES: A. Heating System 1. Initial Startup: : Turn off power to furnace. Before the oil piping system is placed into service, it must have been leak tested by a qualified heating contractor. : For initial start-up of the appliance after installation, it may be necessary to purge the air out of the oil line.
Page 29 NOTICE: Read the burner operation and service instructions, Model AFG Oil Burner Instruction Manual, before continuing. To initially adjust and successfully service the oil burner in the appliance heating section, the following test instruments are required: • A smoke density measuring and rating device, •...
Page 30: Users Information Section
III. USERS INFORMATION SECTION A. OIL SUPPLY: Do not allow the fuel tank to run completely empty. During the summer, keep the tank full to prevent condensation of moisture on the inside surface of the tank. If the fuel tank runs completely dry, it may be necessary to purge the lines of trapped air.
Page 31: Starting The Burner
D. STARTING THE BURNER: 1. Turn the main service switch to "OFF" position. 2. Set thermostat substantially above room temperature. 3. Open shut-off valves in oil supply line to burner. 4. Turn service switch to furnace "ON". If burner starts and runs, but stops again on lockout, it may be necessary to bleed the lines or make burner combustion air adjustments.
