FAN TIMER BOARD AND LIMIT
CONTROL
The Electronic Fan Timer integrates con-
trol of all burner and circulator fan opera-
tions. This control is the central wiring
point for most of the electrical
compo-
nents
in the furnace.
The
Honeywell
ST9103 has a fixed fan delay on time of
30 seconds after the burner ignites. The
United Technologies
1158-120 has an
adjustable fan on time that is set by se-
lecting
the dipswitch
combination
dis-
played in Table 6. This fan on delay can
be set at 30, 60, 90 or 120 seconds. This
provides
a delay
between
the burner
ignition and blower start-up to eliminate
excessive
flow
of cold air when
the
blower
comes
on.
The
Honeywell
ST9103 has an adjustable fan off time of
60, 90, 120 and 150 seconds that is set
by selecting a dipswitch combination
on
the control board displayed
in Table 5.
Similarly
the
United
Technologies
1158-120 have an adjustable fan off time
of 2, 3, 4 or 6 minutes displayed in Table
6. The fan off delay time starts when the
burner motor is de-energized
at the end
of a call for heat. Blower shutdown
is
delayed
to remove
any residual
heat
from the heat exchanger
and improve
the annual efficiency of the furnace.
The electronic fan timer board works in
conjunction
with snap disc limit controls,
which
perform
a safety
function,
and
breaks power to the oil burner primary
control, which shuts off the burner if the
furnace over-heats.
The limit control is
thermally
operated
and
automatically
resets. The limit control
is factory
in-
stalled, pre-set and is not adjustable.
If a limit control opens, the Honeywell
ST9103 wilt energize the circulating fan.
When the limit control closes the burner
is re-energized
and the heating
cycle
begins again.
If the limit control opens with the United
Technologies
1158-120
electronic
fan
control, the circulating fan will be ener-
gized as welt. When the limit closes, the
control
initiates a two
minute
delay.
When this delay is finished, the fan off
timer will begin. At the end of the fan off
time cycle the burner will be energized,
initiating a normal burner cycle.

Note: It is advisable
not to set the
fan on delay time for a time period
longer
than
90 seconds
on the

Longer fan on delay

may result in nuisance

trips.
CIRCULATING
AIR BLOWER
All 04MD-091A-12-FA
AND 04MD-140A-
16-FA furnace models are equipped with
a direct drive blower system. Direct drive
blower speed adjustments
are not nor-
mally required in properly sized extended
31enum duct systems.
The motor RPM
and air CFM delivery will vary automati-
cally to accommodate
conditions within
the usual range of external
static pres-
sures typical of residential duct systems.
Under-sized duct systems may require a
higher blower speed to obtain a reason-
able
system
temperature
rise.
