OPERATORS RESPONSIBILITY Installation and adjustment of the burner requires technical knowledge and the use of combustion test instruments. Do not tamper with the unit or any safety controls. Call your qualified service technician. Incorrect operation of the burner could result in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
PRE-INSTALLATION CHECKLIST COMBUSTION AIR SUPPLY The burner requires combustion air and ventilation air for reliable operation. Assure that the Building and/or combustion air openings comply with National Fuel Gas Code NFPA 54/CSA B149. For appliance/burner units in confined spaces, the room must have an air opening near the top of the room plus one near the floor, each with a free area at least one square inch per 1000 Btu/hr input of all fuel burning equipment in the room.
VENT SYSTEM The flue gas venting system must be in good condition and must comply with all the applicable codes. OUTDOOR INSTALLATIONS: For outdoor installation, a vent cap must be installed and fastened. INDOOR INSTALLATIONS: Must be done in accordance to NFPA 54 (or CSA B139) with local authorities having jurisdictions. 1.

ELECTRICAL SUPPLY Verify that the power connections available are correct for the Unit. All power must be supplied through the disconnect. INSTALLING THE OPTIONAL THERMOSTAT Plug the thermostat directly into the receptacle. WARNING: THE RECEPTACLE IS ONLY USED FOR INSTALLING THE THERMOSTAT! THIS IS NOT A POWER SOURCE. CONNECT THE FUEL LINE(S) - REFER TO CHART BELOW FOR FUEL LINE LENGTH Install the oil lines using the following guidelines.

140-300 psig SEQUENCE OF OPERATION – TYPICAL 1. Turn the unit switch to manual. 2. Power is applied to the Genisys black (BK) and red (RD) wires. 3. After 5 seconds, the Genisys applies 120 volts to the orange wire (OR), activating the burner motor (M1) and the ignition transformer (TR).
PUMP PRESSURE The pump pressure is 150 PSI for the IHS 600 and 140 PSI for the IHS 700. The pump pressure is adjusted on the side of the pump. (See page 8 Two-pipe oil flow)

AIR SETTING The air settings should be set to 6 on the band and 8 on the air shutter. In some cases, these air-settings need to be adjusted. To do this insert your flue gas analyzer into the flue, 6 inches above the top of unit. Measure you excess O2% and CO2% levels. Set your air shutter to bring your O2% levels between 4-5%.
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE Operation and adjustment of the burner requires technical knowledge and the use of combustion test instruments. Do not tamper with the burner or controls. Failure to comply could result in failure or the burner or system, resulting in severe personal injury, death, or substantial property damage.
INSTALL NOZZLE Install the oil nozzle in the nozzle adaptor. Use a ¾” open-end wrench to steady the nozzle adaptor and use a 5/8” open-end wrench to turn the nozzle. Tighten securely but do not overtighten. Verify that the oil tube assembly and electrodes are in good condition, with no cracks or damage. Failure to properly set and maintain the electrode and nozzle spacing dimensions can cause incorrect burner ignition or poor combustion.
BEARING INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE NOTE: To prevent premature failure – please ensure greasing instructions below are applied. As well, tighten bearing set screws, collars, and wheel lugs every four to six months. ENGINEERING – BALL & ROLLER BEARINGS LUBRICATION For bearings that are equipped with a hydraulic grease fitting threaded into the housing for ease of lubrication, the proper amount of lubricant in the bearing is important.

TABLE I. RECOMMENDED LUBRICATION Ball Bearings Roller Bearings Shaft Size Grease Charge Shaft Size Grease Charge (inches) (ounces) (inches) (ounces) 1 – 1 ½ 1 – ½ to 1 – 1 1/16 0.15 0.32 Frequency of re-lubrication depends upon operating conditions. The bearing operating temperature is the best index for determining a re-lubrication schedule.
TENSIONING V-BELT DRIVES 1. Ideal tension is the lowest tension at which the belt will not slip under peak load conditions. 2. Check tension frequently during the first 24-48 hours of operation. 3. Over-tensioning shortens the belt and bearing life. 4.
SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 1. SYSTEM SWITCH “MANUAL” After a forty-five second purge period, the burner fires. Thirty seconds after the burner fires the supply fan starts. 2. SYSTEM SWITCH “THERMOSTAT” (the Heat Switch is inoperative in this mode) On a call for heat from the thermostat, after a forty-five second purge period, the burner fires. Thirty seconds after the burner fires the supply fan starts.
Sequence of Operation for Genisys Controller urner States Standby: The burner is idle, waiting for a call for heat. Valve-On Delay: The igniter and motor are on while the control delays turning on the oil solenoid valve for 45 seconds. Trial For Ignition: The oil solenoid valve is energized.
TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE ALWAYS DOUBLE CHECK FOR SUFFICIENT POWER, GAUGE OF CORD (SEE TOP OF PAGE #5) AND PROPER FUEL SUPPLY. POWER AND FUEL SUPPLY MUST BE SHUT OFF/DISCONNECTED BEFORE REMOVING OR REPLACING ANY COMPONENTS ON THE HEATER. Unit is turned on; nothing happens after 5 second safe start. a.

TROUBLE SHOOTING GUIDE d. Wires between cad cell and primary control should be checked to see that they are not pinched or crimped.. e. Prime fuel pump by loosening bleeder screw till steady stream of fuel comes out to ensure no air or bubbles in fuel line. If unit locks out three times in succession, it will go into restricted lock out mode.
