The following is a detailed explanation of each control
included in the Becket AFG Oil Burner, how each
operates, how to set up the burner, and how to
troubleshoot problems should they occur.
BECKETT “CLEANCUT” OIL PUMP
This oil pump is equipped with an oil solenoid valve
installed in the pump housing. This feature provides
quick cutoffs resulting in reduction in smoke after the
burner shuts down. This is a time proven pump design
and is capable of both one and two pipe systems. This
pump requires a pre-purge style primary control such as
the R7184B primary. All installation and set up
instructions are outlined in the “Oil Pump
Specification” section of the installation instructions
manual.
BECKETT R7184B PRIMARY CONTROL
The R7184B Interrupted Electronic Oil Primary is a
line voltage, safety rated, interrupted ignition oil
primary control for residential oil burners. The R7184B
used with a cad cell flame sensor, operates the oil
burner and oil valve. The primary controls fuel oil,
senses flame, controls ignition spark and is designed to
notify a remote alarm circuit before going into lockout
when equipped with a flame monitoring system.
This primary control possesses the latest technology, is
a very simple control to operate and provides additional
troubleshooting features to ease service and reduce
down time. The operational guide for the R7184B
primary control is provided following on
Page 12.
BECKETT SOLID STATE IGNITER
This igniter differs from the traditional iron core
transformer in that it produces a 14,000 volt spark
instead of a 10,000 volt spark of the iron core
transformer. This hotter spark provides for cleaner,
faster ignitions. Being solid state technology this
igniter is less susceptible to problems caused by voltage
variations. It also has a greater ability to ignite cold
and/or inconsistent oil. The solid state igniter is wired
to the primary control the same as an iron core
transformer.
These controls were selected for their proven high
quality, dependability, and serviceability. With proper
maintenance this burner assembly will provide many
years of reliable service.
All units are shipped with the oil burner installed, and
with high rate oil nozzle installed designed for use with
No. 1 or No. 2 fuel oil. Inspect firepot refractory
before firing to be sure it has not been jarred out of
position in shipment. Burner air tube must not
extend beyond inside surface of firepot. Burner
head should be centered on the combustion chamber
opening. See Figures 19 and 20.
WARNING
Never attempt to use gasoline in your furnace.
Gasoline is more combustible than fuel oil and
could result in a serious explosion causing
damage, injury or death.
