1. INTRODUCTION
Please read these instructions completely and carefully
before installing and operating the furnace.
The furnace must be installed and set up by a qualified
contractor
MODEL 80F
Model 80F is an oil-fired upflow forced air furnace, with
an output capacity range of 58,100 BTU/Hr. to 78,900
BTU/Hr. The 80F furnace equipped with a direct drive
blower may be installed in both horizontal positions.
MODEL 120F
Model 120F is an oil-fired upflow forced air furnace, with
an output capacity range of 87,700 BTU/Hr. to 113,400
BTU/Hr. The 120F furnace equipped with a direct drive
blower may be installed in both horizontal positions.
NOTE: Furnace models equipped with belt drive blowers
are not suitable for horizontal applications.
Both 80F & 120F Model furnaces are listed with the
Canadian Standards Association, (CSA), complies with
both Canadian and American (U.S.) standards for use
with No. 1 (Stove) and No. 2 (Furnace) Oil. Please refer
to the tables in the appendix for performance and
dimensional data.
DO NOT USE GASOLINE, CRANK CASE OIL,
OR ANY OIL CONTAINING GASOLINE.
In the United States of America, the installation of the
furnace and related equipment shall be installed in
accordance with the regulations of NFPA No. 31,
Installation of Oil Burning Equipment, as well as in
accordance with local codes.
In Canada, the installation of the furnace and related
equipment shall be installed in accordance with the
regulations of CAN/CSA - B139, Installation Code For
Oil Burning Equipment, as well as in accordance with
local codes.
When installation or application questions arise,
regulations prescribed in the National Codes and Local
Regulations take precedence over the general
instructions provided with this installation manual. When
in doubt, please consult your local authorities.
All models are shipped assembled and pre-wired. The
furnace should be carefully inspected for damage when
being unpacked.
2. HEAT LOSS
To determine the correct furnace and firing rate for an
application, it is necessary to calculate the maximum
hourly heat loss of the building based on local design
conditions. In new construction, the heat loss should be
calculated on a room-by-room basis to enable proper
sizing of the trunk and branch ducts. In retrofit
applications, a building shell (overall) heat loss
calculation may be used.
In the United States, Manual J. titled, "Load
Calculation" published by the Air Conditioning
Contractors of America, describes a suitable procedure
for calculating the maximum hourly heat loss.
In Canada, the maximum hourly heat loss may be
calculated in accordance with the procedures described
in the manuals of the Heating, Refrigeration and Air
Conditioning Institute of Canada (HRAI), or by other
method prescribed by authorities having jurisdiction that
are suitable for local conditions.
3. LOCATION OF UNIT
The furnace should be located such that the flue
connection to the chimney is short, direct and consists of
as few elbows as possible. When possible, the unit
should be centralized with respect to the supply and
return air duct work. A central location minimizes the
trunk duct sizing. All models may be installed on
combustible floors.
Minimum installation clearances are listed in Table 1.

NOTE: The recommended installation clearances do not
take into consideration the clearances necessary to
replace the air filter or perform other routine
maintenance.
UP-FLOW INSTALLATION
Both furnaces models have been assembled for
installation in the up-flow position. Maintain all clearances
to combustibles as outlined in Table 1. Suggestion; as a
measure to prevent fuel oil from accumulating in
locations other than the fire pot, as could be the case in
the event of nozzle drip, install the furnace with an
approximate 2 degree slope from the oil burner casing
towards the fire pot. Use shims made of noncombustible
material.
In the upflow position, the heat exchanger support screw
shown in picture may be removed. This may be
preferable if the furnace rear panel will be inaccessible
after installation. The screw must be removed if the heat
exchanger must be removed from the cabinet. Do not
remove this screw if installing furnace in a horizontal
position.
HORIZONTAL INSTALLATION
The furnaces are assembled and shipped ready for
installation in the up-flow position. The direct drive
equipped furnace may be installed in either of the
horizontal positions; warm air discharging left or warm
air-discharging right by following these steps:
1. Rotate the furnace 90° to the desired position.
2. Remove the three nut and washer sets fastening the
oil burner assembly to the furnace (Beckett Burner)
or loosen the burner mount Allen screw (Riello
burner). Rotate the oil burner assembly to be in the
normal upright position.
3. Re-align the oil burner assembly to the combustion
chamber (fire-pot), then secure into place with the
three nut and washer sets (Beckett burner) or by re-
tightening the mounting Allen screw (Riello burner).

NON-SUSPENDED INSTALLATION
Maintain clearances to combustibles as outlined in Table
1. Installation on a combustible floor requires a clearance
of 1 inch. This can be done by using a noncombustible
material such as one-inch thick channel iron or similar
material. The furnace must be supported in such a way
as to not allow twisting or sagging of the cabinet.
Suggestion; as a measure to prevent fuel oil from
accumulating in locations other than the fire pot, as could
be the case in the event of nozzle drip, install the furnace
with an approximate 2 degree slope from the oil burner
casing towards the fire pot. Use shims made of
noncombustible material.
SUSPENDED INSTALLATION
Refer to Figure 1. Maintain clearances to combustibles
as outlined in Table 1. The furnace may be suspended by
field fabricating a cradle of angle iron and threaded rod.
Secure the furnace with 2 inch minimum slotted angle or
equivalent, as shown in Figure 1. The furnace must be
supported in such a way as to not allow twisting or
sagging of the cabinet. Position the supports so as to not
interfere with accessing the burner and blower
compartments. Suggestion; as a measure to prevent fuel
oil from accumulating in locations other than the fire pot,
as could be the case in the event of nozzle drip, install
the furnace with an approximate 2 degree slope from the
oil burner casing towards the fire pot.
4. AIR CONDITIONING APPLICATIONS
If the furnace is used in conjunction with air conditioning,
the furnace shall be installed in parallel with or upstream
from the evaporator coil to avoid condensation in the heat
exchanger. In a parallel installation, the dampers or air
controlling means must prevent chilled air from entering
the furnace. If the dampers are manually operated, there
must be a means of control to prevent the operation of
either system unless the dampers are in the full heat or
full cool position. The air heated by the furnace shall not
pass through a refrigeration unit unless the unit is
specifically approved for such service.
The blower speed must be checked and adjusted to
compensate for the pressure drop caused by the
evaporator coil. Refer to Appendix B for recommended
wiring and electrical connections of the air conditioning
controls.
5. COMBUSTION AIR
When a furnace is installed in the full basement of a
typical frame or brick house, infiltration is normally
adequate to provide air for combustion and draft
operation. If the furnace is installed in a closet or utility
room, two (2) ventilation openings must be provided
connecting to a well ventilated space (full basement,
living room or other room opening thereto, but not a
bedroom or bathroom). One opening shall be located 6"
from the top and bottom of the enclosure at the front of
the furnace. For furnaces located in buildings of
unusually tight construction, such as those with high
quality weather stripping, caulking, windows and doors, or
storm sashed windows, or where basement windows are
well sealed, a permanent opening communicating with a
well ventilated attic or with the outdoors shall be provided,
using a duct if necessary. Size all of the openings and
associated ductwork by the standards provided in the
latest Oil Installation Code editions; NFPA 31 in the
United States, CAN/CSA B139 in Canada. Take all fuel
burning appliances in the area into consideration when
calculating combustion and ventilation air requirements.
The Model CAS-2B-90E Furnace Boot manufactured by
Field Controls, Inc. may be used with the furnace to
obtain combustion air directly from outdoors. Use of this
device does not alter the need for ventilation air;
however, it does provide a good direct source of
combustion air and is connected directly to the oil burner.

Figure 2: Common Chimney Problems
6. CHIMNEY VENTING
The chimney must be sized correctly and be in good
repair. If the chimney is oversized, there is a high risk of
the flue gases condensing resulting in damage to the
chimney and other venting parts. This problem may be
corrected by the use of an appropriately sized chimney
liner.
If the chimney serves the furnace only, the vent should
be sized at 4 inch minimum, 5 inch maximum. The table
below is based on dedicated venting. If the furnace is to
be co-vented with other appliances, refer to NFPA 31,
Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning Equipment and
NFPA 211, Standard for Chimneys, Fireplaces, Vents,
and Solid Fuel-Burning Appliances or CAN/CSA B139,
Installation Code For Oil Burning Equipment for correct
sizing information

IMPORTANT: The chimney must be capable of providing
sufficient draft at all times for the safe removal of the
products of combustion.
The chimney should be tested under “winter” conditions;
doors and windows closed, all other fossil fuel burning
appliances on, clothes dryer on, bathroom fans on, etc. If
the chimney cannot overcome the competition for air, it
will be necessary to access the reason for it, and take
corrective action. If the chimney is found to be sized
correctly and in good repair, it will probably be necessary
to re-evaluate the availability of combustion and
ventilation air, and take corrective action.
The flue pipe should be as short as possible with
horizontal pipes sloping upward toward the chimney at a
rate of one quarter inch to the foot. The flue pipe should
not be smaller in cross sectional area than the flue collar
on the furnace. The flue pipe should connect to the
chimney such that the flue pipe extends into, and
terminates flush with the inside surface of the chimney
liner. Seal the joint between the pipe and the lining. The
chimney outlet should be at least two feet above the
highest point of a peaked roof. All unused chimney
openings should be closed. Chimneys must conform to
local, provincial or state codes, or in the absence of local
regulations, to the requirements of the National Building
Code.
See Figure 2 and Table 3 for common chimney problems
and their remedies.
THE FURNACE MUST BE CONNECTED TO A FLUE
HAVING SUFFICIENT DRAFT AT ALL TIMES TO
ENSURE SAFE AND PROPER OPERATION OF THE
APPLIANCE.
The flue pipe must not be routed through concealed
space, because it must be visually checked for signs of
deterioration during the annual inspection and servicing.
The flue pipe must not pass through any floor or ceiling,
but may pass through a wall where suitable fire protection
provisions have been installed. Refer to the latest edition
of CAN/CSA B139 for rules governing the installation of
oil burning equipment. In the United States, refer to the
latest edition of NFPA 31 for regulations governing the
installation of oil burning equipment.
7. BAROMETRIC DAMPER CONTROL
This device is used in conjunction with conventional
chimney venting. This control (or draft regulator)
automatically maintains a constant negative pressure in
the furnace to obtain maximum efficiency. It ensures that
proper pressures are not exceeded. If the chimney does
not develop sufficient draft, the draft control cannot
function properly. The draft regulator, must be installed
within the same room or enclosure as the furnace, and
should not interfere with the combustion air supplied to
the burner. The control should be located a minimum of 3
flue pipe diameters from the furnace breeching and
29733 R2 06/01/2003
9
installed in accordance to the instructions supplied with
the regulator.
8. FURNACE CONTROLS
The furnace is controlled by either of two systems,
depending on the oil primary control and electronic fan
timer combination. System 1, used with Beckett burners,
includes the blower mounted Honeywell ST9103
ELECTRONIC FAN TIMER (EFT) combined with the R7184
OIL PRIMARY CONTROL. System 2, used with Riello
burners, includes the blower mounted Honeywell ST9103
ELECTRONIC FAN TIMER (EFT) combined with a
transformer / burner relay mounted internally on the 40F3
burner housing to operate the oil burner.
Figure 3: R7184 Oil Primary
The furnace functions are controlled by either System 1
or System 2, and bi-metallic snap disc limit switches.
These groupings also provide control for add-on air
conditioning. The ST9103 EFT is located in a control box
mounted to the blower support rails.
The circulating fan is controlled by the ST9103 EFT. The
heat delay-on time is fixed, at 30 seconds. This provides
a delay between the start of the burner and the start of
the circulating fan to reduce the amount of ambient
unheated air flowing through the ductwork. The end of
the circulating fan cycle is also delayed to remove
residual heat from the furnace. There are four delay-off
choices, 60, 90, 120 and 150 seconds, which are field
adjustable by manipulating the DIP switches on the
ST9103 EFT board.
The cooling delay-on and delay-off times are fixed at 30
seconds.
The furnace is protected against over-heating by fixed
high temperature limits. These controls are factory set
and are not field adjustable. If an over temperature
condition is detected, one or both limit switches will
interrupt power to the oil primary control, which will shut
of the oil burner. The circulating fan will continue to
operate. The high limit switches will automatically reset
when the furnace returns to a safe temperature.
9. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS
The furnace is listed by the Canadian Standards
Association (CSA). It is factory wired and requires
minimal field wiring. In the United States, the wiring must
be in accordance with the National Fire Protection
Association NFPA-70, National Electrical Code, and
with local codes and regulations. In Canada, all field
wiring should conform to CAN/CSA C22.1 Canadian
Electrical Code, Part 1, and by local codes, where they
prevail.
The furnace should be wired to a separate and dedicated
circuit in the main electrical panel; however, accessory
equipment such as electronic air cleaners and humidifiers
may be included on the furnace circuit. Although a
suitably located circuit breaker can be used as a service
switch, a separate service switch is advisable. The
service switch is necessary if reaching the circuit breaker
involves becoming close to the furnace, or if the furnace
is located between the circuit breaker and the means of
entry to the furnace room. The furnace switch (service
switch) should be clearly marked, installed in an easily
accessible area between the furnace and furnace room
entry, and be located in such a manner to reduce the
likelihood that it would be mistaken as a light switch or
similar device.
Figure 4: ST9103 EFT
29733 R2 06/01/2003

The power requirements for the HO-B Series models are:
120 VAC, 1 Æ, 60 Hz., 12A. 5-ton models: 120 VAC, 1 Æ,
60 Hz., 16A.
Accessories requiring 120 VAC power sources such as
electronic air cleaners and humidifier transformers may
be powered from the ST9103 EFT. Do not use the direct
drive motor connections as a power source, since there
is a high risk of damaging the accessories by exposure to
high voltage from the auto-generating windings of the
direct drive motor.
Thermostat wiring connections and air conditioning
contactor low voltage connections are shown in the wiring
diagrams. Some micro-electronic thermostats require
additional controls and wiring. Refer to the thermostat
manufacturer's instructions.
The thermostat should be located approximately 5 feet
above the floor, on an inside wall where there is good
natural air circulation, and where the thermostat will be
exposed to average room temperatures. Avoid locations
where the thermostat will be exposed to cold drafts, heat
from nearby lamps and appliances, exposure to sunlight,
heat from inside wall stacks, etc.
Normal heat anticipator setting: 0.1 A. For more precise
adjustment, the heat anticipator may be adjusted to the
amperage draw of the heating control circuit as
measured between the "R" and "W" terminals of the
thermostat. To reduce the risk of damaging the heat
anticipator, do not measure circuit without first removing
one of the two wires first. To determine the heating circuit
amperage draw:
1. Disconnect one of the “R” or “W” wires from the
thermostat terminal.
2. Connect an ammeter between the wire and the
thermostat terminal to which it was attached.
3. Note the amperage reading when the heating
contacts are closed. (System switch must be on
HEAT if so equipped.
4. Re-connect the thermostat wire. If the thermostat is
serving a combination heating and air conditioning
system, pay particular attention to polarity.
5. When the thermostat is reconnected and re-
plumbed, adjust the heat anticipator setting to match
the observed amperage reading.
10. HUMIDIFIER
A humidifier is an optional accessory available through
most heating supplies outlets. Installation should be
carried out in accordance with the humidifier
manufacturer's installation instructions. Water or water
droplets from the humidifier should not be allowed to
come into contact with the furnace heat exchanger.
Terminals (115 v) are provided on the ST9103 EFT
control. Do not use direct drive motor connections as a
source of power for 120 VAC humidifiers and humidifier
transformers.
11. OIL TANK
Oil storage tanks must be selected and installed in
compliance with applicable codes; in the United States,
NFPA 31, Standard for the Installation of Oil Burning
Equipment, Chapter 2. Observe all local codes and by-
laws. And in Canada, CAN/CSA-B139, Installation Code
for Oil Burning Equipment, Section 6
In general, the oil tank must be properly supported and
remain stable in both empty and full condition. The oil
tank must be fitted with vent and supply pipes to the
outdoors. Refer to the above-mentioned codes for sizing.
The vent pipe must be no less than 1¼ inches I.P.S., and
terminate with an appropriate vent cap in a location
where it will not be blocked. The fill pipe must be no less
than 2 inches I.P.S., and terminate with an appropriate
cap in a location where debris will not enter the fill pipe
during oil delivery.
If located indoors, the tank should normally be in the
lowest level, (cellar, basement, etc.). It must be equipped
with a shut-off valve at the tank outlet used for the oil
supply. The oil tank must be located as to not block the
furnace / room exit pathway. Observe all clearances
specified in the above-mentioned codes.
12. PIPING INSTALLATION
In the United States the installation must be in
accordance with the requirements of NFPA No. 31 and
local codes and regulations.
In Canada, the entire fuel system should be installed in
accordance with the requirements of CAN/CSA B139,
and local regulations. Use only approved fuel oil tanks
piping, fittings and oil filters.
Ensure that all fittings used in a copper oil line system are
high quality flare fittings. Do not use compression fittings.
Do not use Teflon tape on any fittings.
Pressurized or gravity feed installations must not exceed
3 PSIG. Pressures greater than 10 PSIG may cause
damage to the shaft seal. If the height of the oil stored in
a tank above the oil burner exceeds 11½ feet, it may be
necessary to use a pressure-regulating device approved
for this purpose.
29733 R2 06/01/2003
11
The furnaces may be installed with a one-pipe system
with gravity feed or lift. The maximum allowable lift on a
single line system is 8 feet. Lift should be measured from
the bottom (outlet) of the tank, to the inlet of the burner.
Sizing a single line system is complex because of the
difficulty estimating the pressure drop through each
fitting, bend and component in the line. In general, keep
single line systems short as possible. If the furnace is to
be installed in a suspended position, a two-pipe system
may be the better alternative. 2-stage oil pumps are not
available for either the Beckett or Riello burner. The
following chart shows the allowable line lengths
(horizontal + vertical) for single and two stage oil pumps.
All distances are in feet.
In retrofit applications, where an existing oil line system is
in place, a vacuum check will help determine the efficacy
of the existing oil line system The vacuum in a system
featuring a Beckett burner should not exceed 6” Hg. for a
single pipe system, nor 12” Hg. for a two-pipe system.
The vacuum in a system featuring a Riello burner should
not exceed 6” Hg. for a single pipe system, nor 11.44”
Hg. for a two-pipe system.

For additional information, see the installation information
sheet included in the documents envelope or affixed to
the oil burner.
NOTE: Both the Beckett and Riello oil burners require the
use of a bypass plug when converting from single-pipe to
two-pipe oil piping systems. See burner manufacturer’s
instructions.
NOTE: The Riello oil burner is manufactured with British
Parallel Thread pump ports. Adapters are supplied with
the oil burner to convert from British Parallel Thread to
NPT (National Pipe Thread). Direct connection of NPT
fittings to the Riello oil burner ports will result in damage
to the pump body. This also applies to pressure and
vacuum gauges. (See Riello manual)
13. OIL FILTER
All fuel systems should include an oil filter between the
fuel oil storage tank and the oil burner. For best results,
install the oil filter as close to the burner as possible.
When using an indoor oil tank, the oil filter may be
installed at the tank downstream from the shut-off valve.
If firing the furnace under the 0.65 gph rate, a 7 to 10
micron line filter should be installed as close to the oil
burner as possible.
14. OIL BURNER NOZZLES
The 80F Series furnace is certified for multiple firing
rates, ranging from 58,100 to 78,900 BTU/hr, while the
120F Series Furnace is certified for multiple firing rates of
87,000 113,400 BTU/hr. By changing the oil burner
nozzle within the specific Model Range, and temperature
rise, the furnace may be fired at an ideal rate for a wide
range of structures.

15. COMBUSTION CHAMBER
This furnace is equipped with an efficient cerafelt
combustion chamber. It is held in place by a retaining
bracket.
29733 R2 06/01/2003
12
CHECK THE ALIGNMENT OF THE COMBUSTION
CHAMBER AND OIL BURNER BEFORE FIRING. IT
IS POSSIBLE FOR THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER
TO SHIFT IF SUBJECTED TO ROUGH HANDLING
DURING TRANSIT.
The cerafelt combustion chamber is quite soft initially.
After firing, it becomes very brittle. Be sure to do all
alignment and positioning adjustments before the first
firing.
The combustion chamber should be inspected for
damage or carbon build up whenever the oil burner is
removed for repairs or routine maintenance.
BEFORE OPERATING THE FURNACE CHECK
BURNER ALIGNMENT WITH COMBUSTION
CHAMBER. THE END CONE OF THE AIR TUBE
MUST BE CENTRED TO THE ACCOMODATING
RING PROVIDED IN THE DESIGN OF THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER. ADJUST ALIGNMENT
AND AMULET POSITION (RIELLO BURNER) AS
NECESSARY BEFORE FIRST FIRING.
16. BURNER ELECTRODES
Correct positioning of the electrode tips with respect to
each other, to the fuel oil nozzle, and to the rest of the
burners is essential for smooth light ups and proper
operation.
Beckett Oil Burner:
The electrode tips should be adjusted to a gap of 5/32”,
1/16” ahead of the nozzle, 5/16” above the centerline of
the nozzle. The “Z” dimension (front edge of the burner
head to the front face of the nozzle is 1-1/8 inches.
Riello Oil Burner:
The electrode tips should be adjusted to a gap of 5/32”,
3/32” ahead of the nozzle, 13/64” above the centerline of
the nozzle.
The electrode porcelains should be free of cracks, the
electrode tips should be tapered and free of burrs, and
the contact rods must be clean and be in firm contact
with the ignition transformer contact springs. The
electrodes must not come into contact with the burner
head.
17. OIL BURNER SET UP
The burner air supply is adjusted to maintain the fuel to
air ratio to obtain ideal combustion conditions. A lack of
air causes "soft" and "sooty" flames, resulting in soot
build-up throughout the heat exchanger passages.
Excess combustion air causes a bright roaring fire and
high stack temperatures resulting in poor fuel efficiency.
PREPARATIONS:
Drill a ¼” test port in the venting, ideally at least 2 flue
pipe diameters away from the furnace breeching, if
venting horizontally from the furnace, or from the flue
pipe elbow if venting vertically before reaching the
furnace. (see Figures 5 and 6).
The test port will allow flue gas samples to be taken and
stack temperatures to be measured.
Before starting the burner, check the burner alignment
with the combustion chamber (fire pot), check that the
correct nozzle is tightened into place, and that the burner
electrodes are properly positioned. The Beckett burner
bulk air band is should be closed, and the air shutter
initial setting should be approximately 7.00.
Refer to Table A-2, page 18, for Riello oil burner air
damper and turbulator settings.
Figure 5: Test port location for smoke test
horizontal.
Note A: Locate hole at least 6 inches on the furnace side
of the draft control.
Note B: Ideally, hole should be at least 12 inches from
breeching or elbow.
29733 R2 06/01/2003
13
Figure 6: Test port location for smoke test vertical.
PROCEDURE:
Start the burner and allow it to run at least ten minutes.
Set the air shutter to give a good flame visually. On
Beckett burners, the combustion air supply to the burner
is controlled by manipulating the air shutter on the left
side of the burner, and, if necessary, the bulk air band.
To adjust, loosen the bolt on the movable shutter. Move
the shutter gradually until a good flame (visually) has
been achieved. Re-snug the bolt.
Refer to the Riello Oil Burner Manual for setting the air
adjustment plate.
Figure 7: Checking Over-Fire Draft.
Check the initial draft setting as the furnace warms up.
The draft may be measured at the test port. The breech
draft should be approximately - 0.05” w.c. to obtain an
over fire draft reading of - 0.02 inches w.c.
Check the oil pump pressure. Refer to Table A1, page
18, for pump pressure settings.
After reaching steady state, take a smoke test. If not
indicating a trace, set the combustion air controls to
provide a trace.
Typically, the CO2 reading will range between 11.5% to
13.5%.
After the air adjustments have been completed, and the
air shutter or air adjustment plate has been secured, take
another smoke test to ensure that the values have not
changed.
NOTE: Riello Oil Burners - When taking final test
readings be sure that the burner cover is in place.
SMOKE TEST NOTE:
If oily or yellow smoke spots are found on the smoke test
filter paper, it is usually a sign of unburned fuel. This
indicates poor combustion. This type of problem may be
caused by excess draft, excess air, or contaminated fuel.
Do not ignore this indicator.
STACK TEMPERATURE:
Stack temperature will vary depending on fuel input,
circulating air blower speed, and burner set up, etc. In
general, stack temperature should typically range
between 380°F to 550°F, assuming that the combustion
air is approximately room temperature (65°F - 70°F). In
general, lower stack temperature indicates greater
efficiency; however, excessively low stack temperature
can lead to condensation forming in the chimney and / or
venting. Sulphur and similar contaminants in the fuel oil
will mix with condensation to form acids. Acids and
resultant chemical salts will cause rapid deterioration of
the chimney and venting components, and may attack
the furnace.
If the flue gases are below the range, it may be
necessary to slow down the blower fan. If the flue gases
are above the range, the blower fan may require
speeding up. Stack temperature varies directly with the
system temperature rise. System temperature rise is the
difference between the furnace outlet temperature and
furnace inlet temperature as measured in the vicinity of
the connection between the plenum take-offs and the
trunk ducts. Typical temperature rise values range
between 60° and 90°F for the Model 80F, 55°F and 85°F
for the Model 120F.
If the venting from the furnace to the chimney is long, or
exposed to cold ambient temperatures, it may be
necessary to use L-Vent as the vent connector to reduce
stack temperature loss to prevent condensation. The
venting should be inspected annually to ensure that it is
intact.

IF THE FURNACE FAILS TO IGNITE, CHECK THE
OIL TANK FUEL GAUGE. IF THE FUEL GAUGE
SHOWS THAT OIL IS PRESENT, PRESS THE
RESET BUTTON ONCE ONLY. IF THE BURNER
FAILS TO IGNITE, CONTACT YOUR SERVICE
CONTRACTOR.
ALL FURNACE CONTROLS ARE SENSITIVE AND
SHOULD NOT BE SUBJECTED TO TAMPERING. IF
PROBLEMS PERSIST, CALL YOUR SERVICE
CONTRACTOR.
18. CIRCULATING AIR BLOWER
DIRECT DRIVE
The HO-B furnaces may be equipped with a direct drive
blower system. Direct drive blower speed adjustments
are not normally required in properly sized extended
plenum duct systems. The motor RPM and air CFM
delivery will vary automatically to accommodate
conditions within the usual range of external static
pressures typical of residential duct systems. Under-sized
duct systems may require a higher blower speed to
obtain a reasonable system temperature rise. Some older
duct systems were not designed to provide static
pressure. They typically feature special reducing fittings
at each branch run and lack block ends on the trunk
ducts. These systems may require modification to
provide some resistance to the airflow to prevent over-
amping of the direct drive blower motor. Selecting a lower
blower speed may correct this problem.
Direct drive blower speeds are adjusted by changing the
"hot" wires to the motor winding connections. Please
refer to wiring diagram in Appendix B or the wiring
diagram label affixed to the furnace. THE NEUTRAL
WIRE (normally the white wire) IS NEVER MOVED TO
ADJUST THE BLOWER SPEED.
DO NOT CONNECT POWER LEADS BETWEEN
MOTOR SPEEDS. THE NEUTRAL WIRE MUST
ALWAYS BE CONNECTED TO THE MOTOR'S
DESIGNATED NEUTRAL TERMINAL.
It is possible and acceptable to use a single blower speed
for both heating and cooling modes. The simplest
method to connect the wiring from both modes is to use a
"piggy-back connector" accommodating both wires on a
single motor tap. It is also acceptable to connect the
selected motor speed with a pigtail joined to both heating
and cooling speed wires with a wire nut. As a safety
precaution against accidental disconnection of the wires
by vibration, it is advisable to secure the wire nut and
wires with a few wraps of electricians tape.
If the joining of the blower speed wiring is done in the
furnace junction box, tape off both ends of the unused
wire.
BELT DRIVE
The HO-B Models are available with an optional belt drive
blower assembly. Belt drive blower systems can be
modified for a variety of speeds and air delivery by
adjusting the variable speed motor pulley, and / or by
changing the blower pulley.
The variable speed motor pulley may be adjusted by
loosening the 5/32 Allen set screw in the outer sheave,
and turning the outer sheave clockwise to increase
blower speed; counter clockwise to reduce blower speed.
Ensure that the setscrew is tightened at one of the "flat
spots", failure to do so will convert the variable speed
pulley to a fixed speed pulley by ruining the threads.
Changing the blower pulley can also modify the blower
speed. A smaller blower pulley will cause the blower to
turn faster; a larger pulley will reduce blower speed.
Large increases in blower speed will increase power
requirements. Check the amperage draw of the blower
motor after changes have been made. If the amperage
draw is greater than the value listed on the motor rating
plate, replace with a motor with a higher horsepower
rating.
The fan belt tension is very important. There should be a
deflection of between ¾ of an inch to 1 inch. Less
deflection places a strain on the blower bearings, and
increases start up amperage draw. More deflection
allows excess slippage and causes premature motor
pulley wear. Automotive belt dressings are not
recommended. A hard soap such as Sunlight® soap will
work well as a belt dressing, for the purpose of reducing
belt squeaks, etc. If used, the soap should be applied to
the sides of the belt only.
29733 R2 06/01/2003
15
THE BELT DRIVE COMPONENTS OPERATE AT
HIGH SPEEDS AND CAN EASILY SNAG LOOSE
CLOTHING, CAUSING SERIOUS PERSONAL
INJURY. THIS PROCEDURE SHOULD BE LEFT TO
TRAINED SERVICE PERSONNEL.
If the blower RPM operates above 1000 RPM, it is
advisable to replace the sintered bronze blower bearings
with roller Bearings.
The circulating fan start-up is delayed 30 or 45 seconds
(depending on EFT) in the heating mode.
The circulating fan start-up is delayed 30 seconds in the
cooling mode. The “fan off” is delayed 30 seconds in the
cooling mode.
The “fan off” delay may be field adjusted by manipulating
the dipswitches. See Figures 8.
Figure 8: Heating Mode “Blower Off” Timings, ST9103

UNEXPECTEDLY, CREATING A RISK OF DEATH
OR PERSONAL INJURY.
Do not use the blower speed wires as a source of
power to accessories as electronic air cleaners and
humidifier transformers. The unused motor taps
auto-generate sufficiently high voltages to damage
accessory equipment. Use the terminals provided on
the ST9103 EFT
DO NOT START THE BURNER OR BLOWER FAN
UNLESS THE BLOWER ACCESS DOOR IS
SECURELY IN PLACE.

Diagrams.
19. MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
A: Routine Maintenance By Home Owner
Other than remembering to arrange for the annual
professional servicing of the furnace by the service or
installation contractor, the most important routine service
performed by the homeowner is to maintain the air filter
or filters. A dirty filter can cause the furnace to over-heat,
fail to maintain indoor temperature during cold weather,
increase fuel consumption and cause component failure.
The furnace filter(s) should be inspected, cleaned or
replaced monthly. The furnace is factory equipped with a
semi-permanent type filter. If the filter is damaged,
replace with filters of the same size and type.
During the routine service, inspect the general condition
of the furnace watching for signs of oil leaks in the vicinity
of the oil burner, soot forming on any external part of the
furnace, soot forming around the joints in the vent pipe,
etc. If any of these conditions are present, please advice
your service or installation contractor.
29733 R2 06/01/2003
16
B: Annual Service By Contractor
THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER (FIREPOT) IS
FRAGILE. USE CARE WHEN INSPECTING AND
CLEANING THIS AREA.
The heat exchanger should be inspected periodically and
cleaned if necessary. if cleaning is necessary, SHUT
OFF POWER TO THE FURNACE and remove the
burner. Using a stiff brush with a wire handle, brush off
scale and soot from inside the drum and flue pipe. To
clean the radiator, remove the round covers on the inner
radiator access pipes located on the front panel between
the oil burner and the flue pipe.
A wire brush can be used to loosen dirt and debris on the
inside surfaces of the radiator. Clean out all accumulated
dirt, soot and debris with a wire handled brush and an
industrial vacuum cleaner. Replace the clean-out covers.
Most circulating fan motors are permanently lubricated by
the motor manufacturer. These motors will have no oil
ports. If the blower motor does contain oil ports, under
normal operating conditions it will not require oiling for the
first two years. Oil sparingly; a few drops in each oil port
with SAE 20 non-detergent oil. Oiling is most easily done
with a "tele-spout" oiler. This oilier has a long flexible
plastic spout. DO NOT OVER-LUBRICATE. Excess oil
may result in premature electric motor failure.
Inspect the blower fan. Clean it if necessary.
Oil Burner Maintenance: Follow the instructions of the oil
burner manufacturer. (See oil burner manufacturer's
instructions supplied with furnace). The oil burner nozzle
should be replaced annually. We recommend that the oil
filter be changed on an annual basis.
The venting system should be cleaned and inspected for
signs of deterioration. Replace pitted or perforated vent
pipe and fittings. The barometric damper should open
and close freely.
All electrical connections should be checked to ensure
tight connections. Safety controls such as the high limit
controls should be tested for functionality. The fan control
functions should be checked to ensure that all fan speeds
are operating properly.
20. FURNACE INSTALLATION SET UP
The furnace must be set up as the final step in the
installation.
A) The oil burner must be set up following the
procedures outlined in section 17: Oil Burner Set Up.
B) The 80F should operate within a temperature rise of
60°F to 90°F, the 120F; 55°F to 85°F. To determine the
temperature rise, measure the supply air and return air
temperatures when the furnace has reached steady state
conditions. This is the point at which the supply air
temperature stops increasing relative to the return air
temperature. The furnace may have to run 10 to 15
minutes to reach steady state conditions. The
measurements may be made with duct thermometers or
thermocouples used in conjunction with multi-meters with
temperature measurement capabilities.
The return air should be measured at a point where the
thermometer will be well within the air stream near the
furnace return air inlet. Actual location is not particularly
critical; however, avoid locations where the temperature
readings could be affected by humidifier bypass ducts,
the inside radius of elbows, etc.
The supply air temperature should be measured at a
point where the thermometer will be well within the air
stream near the furnace supply air outlet. Usually, the
side mid-point of the supply air plenum take-off is ideal,
providing it is out of the line of sight to the heat
exchanger. If the thermometer is within the line of sight of
the heat exchanger, the supply air readings may be
skewed by radiant heat from the heat exchanger. If the
plenum take-off is unsuitable, the supply air temperature
may be measured within the first 18 inches of the first
segment of supply air trunk duct.
If the temperature rise is outside the recommended
range, it may be adjusted on direct drive equipped units
by selecting alternate circulation fan motor speeds, or on
belt drive equipped units, by adjusting the variable speed
motor pulley or by blower pulley changes. If the
temperature rise is too high, speed the fan up. If the
temperature rise is too low, slow the fan down.
C) Keep in mind that the stack temperature varies
directly with the temperature rise. The higher the
temperature rise, the higher the stack temperature will
be, resulting in lower efficiency. The lower the
temperature rise, the lower the stack temperature will be,
which, in some cases, may allow condensation to form in
the chimney and other vent parts.
D) Test the high limit control to ensure that it is
operating correctly. This may be done by temporarily
removing the circulator fan heating wire or neutral wire.
On furnaces equipped with belt drive blowers, the fan belt
may be temporarily removed. Turn of electrical power to
the furnace before working with the motor wires. Be sure
to protect any removed wires from shorting out on metal
furnace parts. If the high limit test is successful, shut off
the electrical power to the furnace, restore the proper
29733 R2 06/01/2003
17
motor wiring, or replace the fan belt. Finally, restore
power to the furnace.
E) Operate the furnace through a minimum of three full
heating cycles. During this time, check for fuel oil leaks,
gross air leakage from the supply air ductwork, unusual
noises originating anywhere within the heating system
which may cause some concern or annoyance to the
home owner, etc.
F) Be sure that the homeowner is familiar with the
furnace. The homeowner should be aware of the location
of electrical circuit breaker or fuse, the location of any
electrical switches controlling the furnace, the location of
the oil tank shut-off valve and how to operate the valve.
The homeowner should know where the oil tank gauge is
located and how to read it.
It would be beneficial to review safety issues with the
home owner, such as the danger of storing combustibles
too close to the furnace, hanging anything on the furnace
vent pipe, and especially the dangers of indiscriminately
pressing the burner reset button.
IMPORTANT: Be sure that the home owner knows where
the burner reset switch is located, and is aware that the
reset switch is not to be activated more than once without
a look for the cause of the problem, (lack of fuel, etc.). Be
sure that the homeowner knows when to quit trying to
start the furnace during these conditions and who to call
for emergency service.
21. OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Before Lighting
Open all supply and return air registers and grilles.
Open all valves in oil pipes.
Turn on electric power supply.
To Light Unit
Set the thermostat above room temperature to call for
heat. The burner will start. NOTE: If the furnace has been
off for an extended period of time, it may be necessary to
press the RESET button on the primary combustion
control relay, (once only). If pressing the reset button
does not start the furnace, refer to Appendix C,
Troubleshooting.
After 30 or 45 seconds (depending on EFT), as the
furnace becomes warm, circulation fan will start.
The furnace will continue to run until the thermostat call
for heat is satisfied.
Set the thermostat below room temperature. The oil
burner will stop.
The air circulation blower will continue to run for 60, 90,
120 or 150 seconds after the oil burner has stopped,
depending on the dip switch settings.
To Shut Down Unit
Set the thermostat to the lowest possible setting.
Set the manual switch (if installed) in the Electrical Power
Supply Line to "OFF".
NOTE: If the furnace is to be shut down for an extended
period of time, close the oil supply valve to the oil burner.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE BURNER WHEN
EXCESS OIL HAS ACCUMULATED, WHEN THE
FURNACE IS FULL OF VAPOUR, OR WHEN THE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER IS VERY HOT. NEVER
BURN GARBAGE OR PAPER IN THE FURNACE, AND
NEVER LEAVE PAPER OR RAGS AROUND THE UNIT.

WIRING NOTES:
HO-B SERIES OIL FURNACE
CONTINUOUS FAN OPERATION:
The ST9103 EFT has provisions to run the blower motor
continuously on a speed lower than the cooling or heating
speeds. On a call for cooling, the fan motor will switch to
cooling speed, and on a call for heating, the fan will
switch to heating speed, each over-riding the continuous
low speed fan.
To obtain continuous low speed fan, route a 16 gauge
stranded, type TEW, 105°C wire from the CONT Terminal
on the ST9103 EFT to the low speed or medium low
speed motor terminal. Both wire ends will require ¼ inch
quick connects, (also known as “Faston” connectors or
¼” spade connectors). For additional control over the
continuous low speed fan circuit, a SPST toggle switch
may be wired in series between the motor terminal and
the ST9103 terminal. The continuous low speed fan
operation operates at 115 vac. Use appropriate wiring
methods to prevent electrical shock.
TURN OFF ELECTRICAL POWER TO THE
FURNACE WHEN SERVICING OR ALTERING
FURNACE WIRING.
FAILURE TO DO SO MAY RESULT IN SEVERE
PERSONAL INJURY, PROPERTY DAMAGE OR
DEATH.
ACCESSORIES:
The ST9103 EFT has provisions for supplying 115 volt
power to an electronic air cleaner (EAC) as well as 115
volts to a line voltage humidifier or humidifier step down
transformer. Both sets of terminals are ¼ inch quick
connect type, rated at 1 A each.
The EAC terminals provide power to an electronic air
cleaner whenever the heating or cooling speeds are
activated. Power is not provided when the continuous
speed is activated. If the electronic air cleaner must run
during continuous low speed fan operation, wire the EAC
into the furnace L1 terminal.
NOTE: It is seldom advisable to operate an electronic air
cleaner at the continuous low speed because of the
potential for excess ozone generation.
The HUM terminals provide power to a line voltage
humidifier or humidifier step down transformer when the
oil burner motor is operating.
THERMOSTAT HEATING CONNECTIONS:
The thermostat connections “R” and “W”, or “RH” and
“W” connect to the “R” and “W” screw terminals shown
on the left hand side of Figure 10, on the ST9103 EFT
located in the control box mounted to the blower
mounting rails.
Figure 9: Thermostat Connections ST9103
NOTE: All thermostat wires for both heating and cooling
connect to the furnace at this point. A factory installed
wiring harness connects the heating control functions to
the R7184 oil primary control.
Figure 8, page 14, shows the detail of the timed “Blower
Off” dipswitch settings. Figure 10 shows the dipswitch
location along the bottom edge of the control board, just
above the “Honeywell” label.

R7184 DETAILED SEQUENCE OF OPERATION
Power is applied to unit. The R7184 completes a self-diagnostic procedure. If no light or flame is present, and unit
passes its self-diagnostic procedure, the control enters into the idle mode.
Thermostat calls for heat:
A. Safety check is made for flame (4 second delay).
1. When flame is not present, the R7184 will apply power to the burner motor and igniter.
2. When flame is present, the control remains in the idle state.
B. Unit enters and completes a pre-purge period of 15 seconds, then applies power to the solenoid valve.
C. Control enters the trial for ignition state.
D. Control monitors the burner flame.
1. When flame is present, the control enters ignition carryover state. (Continues to spark for 10 sec.).
a. Provides continuous spark after flame is sensed to assure that burner remains lit.
b. Turns on LED diagnostic light.
c. Starts carryover timer.
i Flame and call for heat are monitored.
· If flame is lost and lockout timer has not expired, R7184 will return to trial for ignition state.
· If flame is lost and lockout timer has expired, R7184 will enter the recycle state.
¨ Recycle timer starts.
¨ Burner motor and igniter and solenoid valve are turned off.
¨ LED diagnostic light flashes slow.
¨ Returns to idle state when recycle timer expires (60 seconds).
E. Carryover timer expires.

R7184 LED DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT
The LED diagnostic light has several functions. It
indicates the state or mode in which the oil burner is
operating. It will also indicate fault conditions, and help
determine cad cell resistance while the burner is
operating.
NORMAL CONDITIONS:
The LED diagnostic light will turn on when the burner
enters the carryover state; the point at which ignition
spark is on, and will remain on through the run state,
where the ignition spark is terminated but the burner
continues to fire.
The LED diagnostic light will turn off at the end of the
burner cycle as the R7184 enters the idle state, and
will remain off until the next heating cycle.
FAULT CONDITIONS:
If the LED diagnostic light is flashing quickly; 1 Hz (½
second on / ½ second off), the R7184 is in the lockout
state or in restricted mode. To exit the lockout state,
press the reset button.
If the LED diagnostic light is flashing slowly; ¼ Hz (2
seconds on / 2 seconds off), the R7184 is in the
recycle state. This indicates that flame sensing was
lost after the lockout timer expired during the ignition
carryover state. The R7184 will return to the idle state
within 60 seconds.
CAD CELL CONDITION:
If the LED diagnostic light is off, the cad cell is not
sensing flame.
If the LED diagnostic light is on, the cad cell is sensing
flame, or viewing ambient light.
The resistance of the cad cell may be checked while
the R7184 is in the run state by pressing the reset
button. The LED diagnostic light will flash the following
code:
TABLE C-2: CAD CELL RESISTANCE
Flashes Resistance in Ohms
1 Less than 400
2 Between 400 - 800
3 Between 800 – 1600
4 Between 1600 - 5000
Troubleshooting
IMPORTANT:
Due to the potential hazard of line voltage,
only a trained, experienced service
technician should perform the
troubleshooting procedure.
PRELIMINARY STEPS:
Check the diagnostic light for indications of burner
condition. Refer to R7184 LED DIAGNOSTIC LIGHT
section for details.
When simulating a call for heat at the R7184,
disconnect at least one thermostat lead wire from the
T1 - T2 terminals to prevent damage to the thermostat.
Neglecting this procedure may burn out the heat
anticipator of a standard 24 VAC thermostat, or cause
harm to components within a micro-electronic
thermostat.
Before checking the oil primary control, perform these
preliminary checks, (repair or replace controls as
necessary):
· check the power supply; fuse box or breaker, any
service switches, all wiring connections, and
burner motor reset button (if equipped).
· check the limit switches to ensure that the switch
contacts are closed.
· check the electrode gap and position.
· check the contacts between the oil primary control
and the electrodes.
· check oil supply (tank gauge).
· check the oil nozzle, oil filter, and oil valves.
· check the piping or tubing to the oil tank.
· check the oil pump pressure.

Problem Possible Cause Remedy
Electrodes out of
adjustment or defective.
Check electrode settings. check electrodes for dirt build-
up or cracks in porcelain.
Poor transformer high
voltage connections or
defective transformer.
Check contacts between the igniter and electrodes. If
OK, replace the igniter
Fuel oil filter clogged. Replace fuel oil storage tank filter and / or fuel oil in-line
filter.
Defective oil pump. Check burner motor / fuel oil pump coupling. Check oil
pump pressure. Replace fuel oil pump if necessary.
Oil burner sputtering

System temperature rise
too high.
System temperature rise ideally should not exceed 85°F.
Check for clogged air filters. Check blower fan for
excess dirt build-up or debris. Speed up blower fan if
necessary.
Poor “fan off” delay timing
selection, (fan stops too
soon).
Check “fan off” delay timing setting. Use a duct
thermometer in the supply air plenum take-off or first few
inches of the supply air trunk duct. Ideally, the fan will
shut off at a temperature of 90° - 100°F. Manipulate the
dip switch settings to come as close as possible to this
“fan off” temperature.
Fuel oil leak. Check fuel oil line for leaks. Repair or replace if
necessary.
Stack temperature too
high.
Check stack temperature. Stack temperatures will
normally range from 350° to 450°F. Check draft
regulator. Draft should be set to 0.02 in. w.c.
Excessive fuel oil
consumption.
Thermostat improperly
adjusted or in poor
location.
Check thermostat heat anticipator setting against
measured amperage draw. Increase heat anticipator
setting if necessary. If the thermostat is being influenced
by drafts, sunlight, duct work, etc., relocate to more
suitable location.
Insufficient combustion
air adjustment at oil
burner, or improper draft
pressure.
Adjust the oil burner combustion air band and draft
regulator to gain the highest practical CO2 or lowest
practical O2 content in the flue gases. See Burner Set
Up.
Too much smoke.
Heat exchanger partially
clogged.
Check for soot build-up in heat exchanger flue
passages, especially in the outer radiator.
