Beckett NX Burners
a.  Move the Head/Air Setting forward or back 
one position at a time to optimize the smoke 
and CO
2
 readings. See Figure 31.
NOTE: Step outlined in Paragraph G, Steps 1 
and 2 above MUST BE repeated every time 
the Head/Turbulator or air Damper Setting is 
readjusted.
H.  CHECK FOR CLEAN CUT OFF OF 
BURNER.
1.  AIR IN THE OIL LINE  between fuel unit 
and nozzle will compress when burner is on 
and will expand when burner stops, causing 
oil to squirt from nozzle at low pressure as 
burner slows down and causing nozzle to drip 
after burner stops. Usually cycling the burner 
operation about 5 to 10 times will rid oil line of 
this air.
2.  IF  NOZZLE CONTINUES TO DRIP, repeat 
Paragraph H, Step 1 above. If this does not 
stop the dripping, remove cut-off valve and 
seat, and wipe both with a clean cloth until 
clean, then replace and readjust oil pressure. 
If dripping or after burn persist replace fuel 
pump.
I.  TEST CONTROLS.
1.  Check thermostat operation. Raise and lower 
thermostat setting as required to start and stop 
burner.
  WARNING
 Before installation of the boiler is considered 
complete, the operation of all boiler controls 
must be checked, particularly the primary 
control and high limit control.
J.  VERIFY HONEYWELL OIL PRIMARY 
FEATURES  using procedures outlined in 
Instructions furnished with control or instructions 
as follows:
1. R7284 FEATURES AND CONTROLS
a.  The Oil Primary is a microprocessor-
based control. The indicator light provides 
diagnostic information for lockout, recycling 
and patented cad cell status. There is a 
manual reset button to exit the Lockout 
Mode and enter the Idle Mode (see Figure 
33).
b.  Pump Priming Cycle: To facilitate purging 
air from the oil lines and filters. The R7284 
can be placed in a purge routine by 
pressing and releasing the up arrow button 
during the Trial For Ignition. “Pump Prime” 
is shown on the oil primary display along 
with the time left on the Trial for Ignition 
(TFI). Pressing the up arrow button adds 
a minute to the TFI time for a maximum of 
10 additional minutes. (press the up arrow 
button 10 times). Pressing the down arrow 
subtracts a minute from the TFI time (see 
Figure 33). 
c.  Limited Recycle: This feature limits the 
number of recycle trials (for each call for 
heat) to a maximum of three trials. If the 
flame is lost three times and does not 
successfully satisfy a call for heat, the Oil 
Primary locks out.
d.  Limited Reset (Restricted Mode): In order 
to limit the accumulation of unburned oil 
in the combustion area, the control can 
only be reset three times. The reset count 
returns to zero each time a call for heat is 
successfully completed.
e.  T-T Jumper: All R7284 models have internal 
"TT Configured ON" parameters set to "ON".
  The R7284 has an LCD display and simply 
displays lockout and flame status on it.
f  Cad Cell Resistance Check: For proper 
operation it is important that the cad cell 
resistance is below 1600 ohms. 
  Cad Cell Resistance (ohms) is measured by 
the oil primary. The thresholds are:
  < 1600 Ohms Normal operation
  > 1600 Ohms Service burner soon
  > 6100 Ohms Flame loss, burner shuts 
down
  > 9999 Ohms Check for broken cell or wire.
  R7284 displays resistance in ohms during 
Running Mode.
2.  CHECK OIL PRIMARY CONTROL
CAUTION
 Due to the potential hazard of line voltage, 
only a trained, experienced service technician 
should perform the following safety checks. 
This control contains no field-serviceable parts.  
Do not attempt to take it apart. Replace entire 
control if operation is not as described.
a.  Preliminary Steps
 • Check wiring connections and power 
 supply.
 • Make sure power is on to the controls.
 • Make sure limit control is closed.
