TROUBLESHOOTING AND MAINTENANCE

IMPORTANT:   The R8184M contains no field-serviceable parts. Do not disassemble the R8184M. Replace the entire control if operation is not as described.

To completely troubleshoot an oil burner installation, check the burner, ignition transformer, oil primary control, and cad cell for proper operation and condition. The indicator light lights to indicate the system is locked-out on safety

Preliminary Steps

Before checking the R8184M and cad cell, perform these
preliminary checks. Repair or replace controls as necessary.

  • Check all wiring connections, power supply, and burner motor fuse. Ensure power is turned on to all controls, burner motor, and ignition transformer.
  • Check the limit switch for proper operation.
  • Check the ignition transformer.
  • Check the electrode gap and position.
  • Check the contacts between the ignition transformer and electrode.
  • Check the oil pump pressure.
  • heck the piping to the oil tank.
  • Check the oil nozzle, oil supply, and oil filter

Check CAD Cell and R8184M

WARNING: FIRE OR EXPLOSION HAZARD CAN CAUSE PROPERTY DAMAGE, SEVERE INJURY, OR DEATH.  Troubleshooting is done with the equipment powered.Observe all necessary precautions to pre

Use the following equipment to troubleshoot the R8184M and cad cell.

  • Screwdriver
  • 0 to 150 Vac voltmeter
  • Insulated jumper wire with both ends stripped
  • Ohmmeter
  • 2700 Ohm resistor (optional)

Burner Motor Does Not Start When Thermostat Calls For Heat PRELIMINARY CHECKS

  1.  Make sure limit switch is closed and that contacts are clean.
  2. Check for line voltage power at the oil primary. With thermostat calling for heat, voltage between black and white lead wires on oil primary should be 120 Vac.

Procedure

| Corrective Action
---|---
Burner Starts| Burner Doesn’t Start
1. Jumper thermostat terminals:

•      Jumper low volt thermostats at oil primary.

•      Jumper line volt thermostats at termostat.

| Trouble is in thermostat circuit. Check thermostat and wiring connections.| Trouble is in cad cell or oil primary. Go to Step 2.
2. Disconnect one cad cell lead- wire.| Cad cell is seeing external light, is defective, or cad cell connections are shorted. Go to Step 3.| Disconnect power; check all wiring connections. Tighten any loose connections, if necessary, and retest. If burner motor and ignition still don’t start, replace oil primary. lf ignition is on and burner motor is off, check burner motor and wiring connections to motor. Replace burner motor, if necessary.
3. Turn off burner and reconnect cad cell. Make sure F-F terminals are not shorted. Shield cad cell from external light, and jumper W(T)-R(T) terminals to start burner.| Eliminate external light source or permanently shield cad cell.| Replace cad cell with Part No. 130367.

Burner Motor Starts But Flame Is Not Established
Check burner and ignition transformer per manufacturer’s recommendations. This is not an oil primary or cad cell problem.

Burner Starts, Flame Is Established; Then Burner Locks Out On Safety


Procedure

| Corrective Action
---|---
Burner Locks Out| Burner Keeps Running
1.

a.      Reset safety switch by pushing red reset button.

b.      Disconnect cad cell lead- wires at oil primary.

c.      Jumper thermostat termi- nals to start burner:

•    Jumper low volt thermostats at oil primary.

•    Jumper line volt thermostats at thermostat.

d.      After flame is established, but before safety switch locks out, short cad cell by jumpering F-F terminals.

| Oil primary control is defective-replace.

If there is any doubt that F-F terminals were jumpered within safety switch timing, wait 5 minutes, then repeat procedure (Steps 1a-1d).

| Check cad cell with ohmmeter, see Cad Cell Troubleshooting table on page 8. If ohmmeter is not available, go to step 2.
2.

a.      Disconnect line voltage power and reconnect cad cell F-F terminals.

b.      Unplug cad cell and clean face with soft cloth. Check sighting for clear view of flame. Replace cell in socket.

c.      Reconnect line voltage power. Reset safety switch by pushing red reset but- ton, and jumper thermo- stat terminals to start burner:

•    Jumper low volt thermostats at oil primary.

•    Jumper line volt thermostats at thermostat.

| Replace cad cell with Part No.130367, go to step 3.| Cad cell is okay.
3. Reset safety switch and restart burner.| Check cad cell view of flame, flame shape, and oil nozzle. If flame is normal and cad cell has good view of flame, check for open circuits in socket assembly wiring.

Replace assembly, if

necessary.a

| Cad cell and socket assembly are okay.

a If cad cell is okay and oil primary appears okay but system continues to lockout on safety, repeat steps 1a-1d using a  2700 ohm resistor to jumper F-F terminals. Burner will lock out if oil primary is defective; replace oil primary, if necessary.

CAD CELL TROUBLESHOOTING
Check cad cell by reading resistance with ohmmeter while flame is present. See the table below for cause and corrective action to be taken for resistance that is read.

OHMMETER READING CAUSE ACTION
0 ohms. Short circuit. Check for pinched cad cell leadwires.
Less than 1600 ohms, but not 0. Cad cell and application are operating
correctly. Recheck oil primary using a 2700 ohm resistor to jumper F-F

terminals; repeat steps 1a-1d under “Burner Starts, Flame is Established” on page 7.
Over 1600 ohms, but not infinite.| Dirty cad cell.| Clean cad cell face and recheck.
Improper cad cell sighting.| Check flame sighting.
Improper air adjustment.| Adjust air band to get good reading.
Defective cad cell.| Replace cad cell with Part No. 130367 and recheck.
Infinite resistance.| Open circuit.| Check for improper wiring, loose cad cell in holder, or defective cad cell. Replace defective cad cell with Part No. 130367.

TRIP SAFETY SWITCH BEFORE OPERATING BURNER MAINTENANCE

CAUTION: TrippIng the safety switch shuts down the burner but does not disconnect the power supply. Turn off power at system switch or circuit breaker before servicing the control system, burner motor, oil valve or ignition to avoid electrical shock

To trip the safety switch, move the safety switch lever down until the red reset button pops out and the indicator light comes on. See Fig. 6. Burner will not operate until safety switch is reset by pushing in the red reset button.
