7. Startup and Operation
Once setup properly, EnergyLogic boilers are designed to operate reliably over a wide range of
conditions with minimal adjustment. This section is provided to make sure that the boiler is set
up properly, and to provide instructions on the initial start up.

.1 Do’s and Don’ts/Tech Tips
1. Read each procedure completely before performing the steps.
2. Do not burn gasoline or kerosene in your boiler.
3. Do not place chlorinated solvents into the tank.
4. Do not burn antifreeze coolant (ethylene glycol) in your boiler.
5. Regularly check for water and/or coolant in the fuel tank at the tank drain.
6. Do not allow your fuel tank to run out of fuel (avoid the hassles of small particle
contamination and re-priming of the fuel system).
7. Document the pressure and vacuum readings of the boiler after it has been operated
several hours. This will assist with future diagnostics, if necessary.
8. Do not place fuel suspected of having debris or shavings into the tank.
9. STORE THIS MANUAL IN AN ACCESSIBLE LOCATION.
10. Only use EnergyLogic fuel filters with 140 micron/metal mesh specifications. Do not use
paper element filters.
11. PERFORM THE RECOMMENDED PERIODIC MAINTENANCE.
12. Unplug the burner during the off season (summer) to prevent coking of the preheater
and nozzle.
7.2 Burner Primary Control Operation
The burner operation is governed by the Primary Control (shown in figure). This device is pre-
programmed and is not adjustable. The important interface points are as follows:
The two T-Terminals are for the thermostat signal. To simulate a closed thermostat, you
can jumper across the two T terminals with an alligator clip or wire.
The two F-Terminals are for the cad cell signal. The cad cell is a light sensor inside the
burner that senses the flame. To simulate a flame, you can jumper across the two F
terminals with an alligator clip.
Do not leave the T and F terminals jumped during normal boiler operation, as
this bypasses several safety checks and may cause excessive oil to be deposited in the
combustion chamber, creating a fire or explosion hazard. For the same reason, do not leave
the T and F terminals jumped for more than 30 seconds if oil is being sprayed but not being
burned.
The reset button is used to reset the controller, in case of a failed start attempt or
flameout.
