button 10 times). Pressing the down arrow 
subtracts a minute from the TFI time (see 
Figure 30B).

Running Mode.
b.  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 eld-serviceable parts.  
DO NOT attempt to take it apart. Replace entire 
control if operation is not as described.
i.  Preliminary Steps
  •  Check wiring connections and power 
 supply.
  •  Make sure power is on to the controls.
  •  Make sure limit control is closed.
  •  Check contacts between ignitor and the 
  electrodes.
  •  Check the oil pump pressure.
  •  Check the piping to the oil tank.
  •  Check the oil nozzle, oil supply and oil 
  lter.
ii.  Check Safety Features
  Safe Start:
  • Place a jumper across cad cell terminals.
  • Follow procedure to turn on burner. 
  Burner must not start, indicator light turns  
  on and control remains in Idle Mode.
  • Remove jumper.
iii.  Simulate Ignition or Flame Failure:
     •   Follow procedure to turn on burner.
    • Check cad cell resistance. If resistance 
  is below 1600 OHMS and burner runs 
  beyond safety cut-out time, cad cell is 
 good.
• If safety switch shuts down burner and 
resistance is above 1600 OHMS, open line 
switch to boiler. Access cad cell under 
ignitor, clean face of cad cell and see that 
cell is securely in socket, see Figure 31. 
Check gasket around perimeter of ignitor 
lid for proper seal. If gasket is missing 
or damaged, replace gasket. Room light 
can effect cad cell resistance. Reset safety 
switch. 
iii.  Limited Recycle: This feature limits the 
number of recycle trials (for each call 
for heat) to a maximum of three trials. If 
the ame is lost three times and does not 
successfully satisfy a call for heat, the Oil 
Primary locks out.
iv.  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.
v. "T-T" Jumper: All R7284 models have 
internal "TT" Congured ON" parameters 
set to "ON".
Note: DO NOT change "T-T" Congured 
ON" parameters to "OFF" unless wiring 
diagram indicates a direct connection from 
thermostat and/or tankless heater aquastat 
control to the oil burner primary control's 
"T-T" terminals. Refer to appropriate 
wiring diagram, see Figure 21A, 21B, 22, 
23A, 23B, 24A or 24B.
vi.  Diagnostic Display: The R7284 has an LCD 
display and simply displays lockout and 
ame status on it.
vii.  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
