CHAPTER 1
Introduction
1.1 — Overview
E series burners are assembled, wired, and tested at the factory. They are listed by the Underwriters Laboratory, CSD-1,
NFPA-85, F.M., including the national Electrical Code (NEC), and associated insurance underwriters. Where
applicable, the Canadian Gas Association (CGA) B149 and the Canadian Standards Association (CSA) B140 codes
shall prevail. Other regulatory agency control options are available.
The operator must be familiar with the individual functioning of all controls to understand the operations and proce-
dures described in this manual.
1.2 — Description
The E series burners are designed to operate with gas and light oil. The E series oil burners are of the low pressure, air
atomizing (nozzle) type, while the gas burners are of the peripheral mix type. The E series burner operates with full
modulation on gas, light oil or a combination, and features a spark-ignited gas pilot flame. A switch permits
changeover from automatic fully modulated firing to manually set firing at any desired rate between minimum and
maximum. Additional safeguards assure that the burner always returns to the minimum firing position for ignition.
E series burners are designed for automatic, unattended operation except for periodic inspection and maintenance.
After selecting the proper overload settings for the starter, the rest of the control panel components require little
attention except for occasional cleaning.
Only factory authorized burner service personnel should start up, adjust, or service this equipment.
