Pilot Flame Characteristics; Thermostat Operation - Empire Heating Systems SR-10T-3 Installation Instructions And Owner's Manual

The correct flame will be blue and will extend beyond the thermo-
couple. The flame will surround the thermocouple just below the
tip. A slight yellow flame may occur where the pilot flame and main
burner flame meet.
Oxygen Depletion Sensor Pilot (Figure 14)
When the pilot has a large yellow tip flame, clean the Oxygen
Depletion Sensor as follows:
1. Clean the ODS pilot by loosening nut B from the pilot tubing.
When this procedure is required, grasp nut A with an open end
wrench.
To ignite main burner, turn gas control knob counterclockwise to-
ward HI setting. To shut down main burner, turn gas control knob
clockwise toward LO setting.
The SR-10T has an input of 10,000 BTUH (2.9KW/H). The hydraulic
thermostat bulb is located at the casing assembly bottom. When the
hydraulic thermostat bulb senses the need for heat, the unit cycles
"ON" at a full input rate of 10,000 BTUH (2.9KW/H). The unit remains
at this full input rate until the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied."
When the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied" the burner will shut
"OFF" with the pilot flame remaining "ON."
The SR-18T has an input of 18,000 BTUH (5.3KW/H). The hydraulic
thermostat bulb is located at the casing assembly bottom. When the
hydraulic thermostat bulb senses the need for heat, the unit cycles
"ON" at a full input rate of 18,000 BTUH (5.3KW/H). The unit remains
at this full input rate until the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied."
When the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied" the burner will shut
"OFF" with the pilot flame remaining "ON."
NOTICE: The burner does not modulate between "ON" and the
pilot flame. When the SR-18T is "ON," all three ceramic plaques
will "glow." There will never be a time when only one or two ceramic
plaques are "glowing."
The SR-30T has an input of 30,000 BTUH (8.8KW/H). The hydraulic
thermostat bulb is located at the casing assembly bottom. When the
hydraulic thermostat bulb senses the need for heat, the unit cycles
"ON" at a full input rate of 30,000 BTUH (8.8KW/H). The unit remains
at this full input rate until the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied."
When the hydraulic thermostat bulb is "satisfied" the burner will shut
"OFF" with the pilot flame remaining "ON."

2. Blow air pressure through the holes indicated by the arrows.
This will blow our foreign materials such as dust, lint and spider
webs. Tighten nut B also by grasping nut A.

Never use needles, wires, or similar cylindrical objects to
clean the pilot to avoid damaging the calibrated ruby that
controls the gas flow.
NOTICE: The burner does not modulate between "ON" and the
pilot flame. When the SR-30T is "ON," all five ceramic plaques will
"glow." There will never be a time when only one or three ceramic
plaques are "glowing."
The LO and HI setting has temperature range of approximately 55°F
(12.78°C) to 90°F (32.22°C), respectively. This is the temperature at
the hydraulic thermostat bulb not the room temperature. The owner
is advised to determine the particular heat setting that is desired for
comfort, as heating requirements are different for every owner.
Attention: If the owner does not want the main burner to ignite and
turns the gas control knob to the LO setting, the main burner will
still ignite if the temperature at the hydraulic thermostat bulb drops
to 55°F (12.78°C).
If no heat is desired, turn the gas control knob to the PILOT posi-
tion.

PILOT position.
LO/HI will allow the hydraulic thermostat bulb to cycle the heater
ON and OFF.
