WARNING 

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

 

 
 
 
 
 

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD. CAN 
CAUSE DEATH, SEVERE INJURY 
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

 

It is the installer’s final responsibility to verify correct 
gas usage. 
Do not use a gas control set for natural gas on LP as 
or a gas control set for LP Gas on Natural Gas

.

 

1.  Check to insure that main gas cock from meter is open.  

Check burner to insure that gas cock is open. 

2.  Turn the main power switch ON and check fuse. 

3.  Set the thermostat higher than the existing temperature 

of the area to be heated.  The following step should take 
place automatically: 

The blower is powered and will start. The air flow 
switch is then powered and supplies power to the 
burner control.  The ignition control will produce the 
spark ignition as well as opening the gas valve and 
allowing gas flow.  The gas will then ignite. 

4.  Check burner to see that it is operating.  

5.  At this time, manually shut off the gas and verify that the 

"flame failure shutdown" occurs.  Open the manual gas 
valve and turn off the power to the

BURNER ASSEMBLY

 to reset the control. 

6.  Set the thermostat down to the desired temperature. 

NOTE 

- When the heater is initially fired, solvents or 

any oil that is on the pipe work and fittings will burn off 
and form a light haze in the building which can best 
be removed by the ventilation system in the building, 
or by opening the doors. This is a one time problem 
and will not recur. 

SEQUENCE OF OPERATION 

1.  Thermostat calls for heat. 

2.  Combustion air blower is energized. 

3.  The differential air flow switch proves operation of the 

blower and the ignition control is energized. 

4.  After pre-purge timing, the spark ignition and gas valve 

are energized. 

5.  The ignition control senses the flame (flame 

rectification) and turns off the spark ignition. 

6.  After the thermostat is satisfied, the power is removed 

from the burner assembly causing the ignition control 
and gas valve to turn off and the blower shuts down. 

7.  System waits for the next call for heat. 

RESETTING THE IGNITION CONTROL

 

The 

OMEGA II

®

 BURNER ASSEMBLY

 is equipped with an 

automatic lockout control which is activated after 60 
seconds if a burner should fail to ignite.  If your burner 
should lock out, it should be reset by the following method: 

1.  Turn off the disconnect switch located near the burner 

or turn down the thermostat to stop the entire system. 

2.  Wait 5 minutes for the ignition timer switch to cool and 

automatically reset. 

3.  Turn the power back on and/or turn the thermostat back 

up. 

4.  The system will now automatically recycle on the 

thermostat to maintain desired room temperature. 

IF THE BURNER WILL NOT LIGHT AFTER TWO RESET 
TRIALS, CONTACT YOUR INSTALLER FOR SERVICE. 

GAS CONTROL KNOB SETTING: 

The gas control knob has two settings. 

OFF (knob turned 

 clockwise) prevents main burner gas 

flow. 

ON (knob turned 

 counter clockwise) permits main 

burner gas flow.  Under control of the thermostat and direct 
ignition module, gas can flow to the main burner. 

NOTE:  Controls are shipped with the gas control knob in 
the ON position. 

 

   

WARNING 

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD

 

 
 
 
 
 

FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD. CAN 
CAUSE DEATH, SEVERE INJURY 
AND/OR PROPERTY DAMAGE.

 

1.  Do not force the gas control knob.  Use only your 
hand to turn the gas control knob.  Never use tools. 
2.  If the gas control knob will not operate by hand, a 
qualified service technician should replace the gas 
control. 

 

STOPPING THE SYSTEM FOR SERVICE 

1.  For servicing an individual 

OMEGA II

®

 BURNER 

ASSEMBLY

, turn off the disconnect switch which should 

be mounted within two feet (2') of the unit.  Close the 
gas supply to the burner at the individual burner gas 
cock. 

2.  To service the thermostat, turn off the electrical power at 

the main power disconnect box. 

3.  Before servicing any gas component, shut off the gas 

supply at the meter by closing the main gas valve.
