2 INSTALLATION
The unit is shipped with a burner and its controls. It requires a
115VAC power supply to the control panel and thermostat hook-up as
shown on the wiring diagram, one or more oil line connections,
suitable ductwork and connection to a properly sized vent.
All local and national code requirements governing the installation of
oil burning equipment, wiring and the flue connection MUST be
followed. Some of the codes that may apply are:
CSA B139:
Installation code for oil burning equipment.
ANSI/NFPA 31:
Installation of oil burning equipment.
ANSI/NFPA 90B:
Warm air heating and air conditioning systems.
ANSI/NFPA 211:
Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents and solid fuel
burning appliances.
ANSI/NFPA 70:
National Electrical Code.
CSA C22.1 or
CSA C22.10:
Canadian Electrical Code.
Only the latest issues of these codes may be used.
2.1
POSITIONING THE FURNACE
WARNING
Fire and explosion hazard.
The furnace must be installed in a level position, never where it will
slope toward the front.
Do not store or use gasoline or any other flammable substances near
the furnace.
Non-observance of these instructions will potentially result in death,
bodily injury and/or property damage.
CAUTION
This furnace is not watertight and is not designed for outdoor
installation. It must be installed in such a manner as to protect its
electrical components from water. Outdoor installation will lead to a
hazardous electrical condition and to premature failure of the
equipment.
The minimum clearances from combustible material for each of
the positions are specified in Table 10.
If the furnace is installed in a basement or on a dirt floor, in a crawl
space for example, it is recommended to install the unit on a cement
base 2.5 cm to 5.0 cm (1" to 2") thick.
The unit must be installed in an area where the ambient and return air
temperatures are above 15°C (60°F). In addition, the furnace should
be installed as closely as possible to the vent, so that the connections
are direct and kept to a minimum. The heater should also be located
close to the centre of the air distribution system.
2.1.1
Installation in an enclosure
The unit can be installed in an enclosure such as a closet. However, 2
ventilation openings are required for combustion air. The openings
should be located in front of the furnace approximately 15 cm (6")
above the floor and 15 cm (6") below the ceiling. Figure 1 indicates
the minimum dimensions required and the location of the openings.

openings in a closet door
2.2
ELECTRICAL SYSTEM
CAUTION
The exterior of the unit must have an uninterrupted ground to
minimize the risk of bodily harm, if ever an electrical problem
develops. A green ground screw is supplied with the control box
for that purpose.
The appliance must be installed in accordance with the current
ANSI/NFPA 70 National Electrical Code, CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code Part 1 and/or local codes.
The control system depends on the correct polarity of the power
supply. Connect "HOT" wire (H) and "NEUTRAL" wire (N) as
shown in Figures 7 and 8.
A separate line voltage supply should be used, with fused
disconnect switch or circuit breaker, between the main power
panel and the unit.
Only copper wire may be used for the 115V circuit on this unit. If
wires need to be changed, the replacements must have the
same temperature resistance as the originals.
2.3
installation of the thermostat
A thermostat must be installed to control the temperature of the
area to be heated. Follow the instructions supplied with the
thermostat. Also refer to the wiring diagrams provided with the
heating/air conditioning unit. The connections must be made as
indicated on the following diagrams and the wiring diagrams.
