Call 1-800-351-0643 for Technical Support
Minimum Clearance –
Safe clearances to combustibles (Section 1.5) shall be adhered to.
Distance from Flammable Liquids
–
Do not create a fire or explosion hazard by using or placing flammable liquids such as gasoline or solvents near the heater. A flammable liquid is any liquid that has a closed-cup flash point below 100°F (37.8°C), as determined by the test procedures and apparatus set forth in 1.7.4 of NFPA 30.
POWER TO THE HEATER SHOULD BE SHUT OFF ANYTIME FLAMMABLE VAPORS
MAY BE PRESENT!
Access - Position the heater where there is adequate clearance for operating and maintaining the unit. Leave an unobstructed path for shop vehicles and equipment. Consider access needed for service (heat exchanger cleaning, flue cleaning, removal of caps and baffle, burner access, etc.).
Cabinet Orientation vs. Air Flow Direction
– Consider the workspace to be heated.
Consider proximity to windows, doors, etc.
Structural Requirements (Canada) – In Canada, the structure in which the used oil burning appliance is housed shall be no less than 4.6m (15ft) high at the point where the appliance is situated and have a minimum length and width of 6m (20ft) and a minimum floor area of 37m 2
(400ft 2 ). In addition, the installation including flue stack height requirements and distance from property line shall be in accordance with the authorities having jurisdiction concerning environmental quality as well as fuel, fire, and electrical safety and Table 7 in CSA B140.0-03
(clause 22.3.2).

Call 1-800-351-0643 for Technical Support
3. Exhaust Flue System Installation
The exhaust system is critical for the safe operation of the heater, as it exhausts the products of combustion out of the building to the ambient environment. Because the exhaust gas is much hotter than the outside air, it will naturally rise through the flue and create a negative pressure behind it.
This is commonly referred to as “draft”.
3.1 Barometric Damper Tee Installation
The barometric damper tee helps to regulate draft pressure through varying ambient conditions.
Install the tee with the tapered end pointing downward by sliding it into the heat exchanger outlet until snug (refer to figure). Secure using 3 sheet metal screws. Do NOT operate the heater without a Tee and Damper for draft control.
Insert Tee with taper end down.
Damper Tee Installation
3.2 Flue Piping Installation
The flue piping exhausts products of combustion out of the building into the ambient environment.
You may have a basic knowledge of carpentry and the use of hand tools.
However, it is important that you review all safety rules in this section, and all safety rules in the manuals provided with your manufactured flue kit. If you have any doubt about your ability to complete the installation in a safe and workmanlike manner, you should arrange for a professional installation. For more regulatory information regarding flue pipe installation, consult NFPA 31 and your local fire protection and building codes.
Flue System Installation Steps and Considerations:
•
Review this section completely. Choose and purchase a factory-built flue kit that complies with U.L. standard 103 Type HT, or Equivalent.
•
The 75H requires a 6-inch diameter flue and may not be reduced.
•
For your convenience, the unit includes some helpful chimney-flue material. Additional
• material will also be necessary.

Roof offsets (30° maximum) are allowable for U.L.
103 Listed Flue Kits (refer to figure).
•
Single wall flue (minimum wall thickness of 24 Gauge steel) may be used in heated space, but must be kept a minimum distance (air space only) of 18 inches (46 cm) from combustible surfaces (check building and fire codes for precedence).
ANY PORTION OF THE FLUE SYSTEM
THAT PASSES THROUGH UNHEATED
SPACE / CONCEALED AREAS AND ANY
Maximum of two offsets (30º maximum) are allowed for UL
103 Listed flue. 2 offsets = 4 elbows.
Offset in flue stack
PORTION OUTSIDE THE BUILDING IS TO BE CLASS-A DOUBLE WALL FACTORY-
BUILT FLUE THAT IS APPROVED TO STANDARD U.L. 103, OR EQUIVALENT.
Refer to the manufacturer’s instructions on the minimum clearance required for the double-wall product used. Install f lue system per the flue manufacturer’s instructions, making sure to fully comply with national safety standards such as NFPA 31, 54, and
211. Refer to fire and building codes for further requirements.
Improper installation of the flue system could result in property damage, serious injury or death.
•
Whenever possible, avoid 90 degree elbows and horizontal runs, as these will collect ash and require regular cleaning.
•
Properly support the flue stack. Do not rely on the heater to support the total load of the flue system. Follow the fl ue manufacturer’s instructions for support kits.
•
Use a dedicated flue system for each appliance. Do not share a flue system with another appliance or fireplace.
•
The flue is required to extend at least 3 feet above the highest point where it passes through the roof of a building, and at least 2 feet higher than any portion of a building within 10 feet (NFPA 31, 54 and 211
– see figure). For increased margin,
EnergyLogic recommends extending the flue further than the minimum guidelines.
•
Minimum stack height: 10 feet, plus 1 foot for each NFPA rules for flue height above roof additional tee or elbow. Refer to local codes, which may require additional stack height based on BTU input.

3.3 Draft Gauge Installation
The draft gauge is a precision inclined-vertical manometer. Permanently installing the draft gauge allows you to monitor the draft during operation.
Installation
1. Mount and level the draft gauge to the heater cabinet using the screws provided with the gauge (refer to figure). Note: There is a level built into the gauge.
2. Turn Zero Adjustment Knob clockwise until it stops, then turn counterclockwise (3) full turns to allow for future adjustment.
3. Remove gauge Fill Plug and open red fluid bottle provided with gauge.
4. Slowly p our small amounts of fluid (typically 1/4 of the bottle is used) into “fill” opening until it reaches zero on the scale. Replace the fill plug. Minor adjustments can be made by adjusting the knob to zero the gauge.
5. If a double flexible tube was included with the gauge, separate the tubes, as only one is needed. Attach the one end of a tube t o the draft gauge port labeled “Low” at top of the gauge. Note: By doing this, the negative readings will now read positive on the gauge scale. This is to take advantage of the larger scale on the positive side.
6. Locate the draft gauge probe, which is a pie ce of stainless steel tubing with a “U” bend in it. Thread a 1/4 inch barbed fitting (included in the gauge packaging) to the draft gauge probe. Note: There is extra hardware that is not used.
7. Cut the tubing to an appropriate length to go between the gauge and the probe hole. Attach the free end of the tube to the 1/4 in. barbed fitting.
8.
Confirm that the gauge is reading “zero” with the probe in your hand, in still air. If not, adjust the gauge to read zero using the zero adjust knob.
9. Insert the open end of probe into probe hole as shown in the figure below, and allow it to hang loosely.
10. Ensure the rubber tubing is not resting against the hot exhaust pipe.

5.3 Safety Systems and Warnings
Several systems built into the burner controls ensure that the burner operates safely and will shut down if something is wrong:
Fuel Preheater Control: This device prevents the oil from being overheated by the preheater in the nozzle block assembly. The preheater will heat up the fuel to the target temp (default:
140 o F) then it cuts power to the heaters until the oil starts to cool down. If starting from completely cold (power has been off), allow at least 10 minutes for the oil to heat up before turning on the thermostat and trying to light the burner.
Cad Cell: The flamesensing “cad cell’ detects the light emitted by the flame to determine that the flame is on. On a call for heat from the thermostat, if the burner does not light within 30 seconds, or if the flame goes out for any reason, the controller will shut down the burner. This prevents the accumulation of unburned fuel in the combustion chamber, potentially generating smoke, rumbling and/or misfiring once the burner lights.
Primary Control
– Recycle Mode:
Once a flame has been established, if the burner loses flame for any reason, the Primary Control will shut off the burner and enter Recycle Mode.
After approximately 60 seconds, the Primary Control will attempt to restart the burner. If no flame is seen by the cad cell during the restart attempt, the Primary Control will lock out until it is manually reset
. To reset, press and hold the “i” button for two (2) seconds. If the cad cell sees a flame, the Primary Control will continue running the burner until the call for heat is satisfied.
Multiple resets may allow fuel to accumulate in the heat exchanger, therefore do not reset more than one or two times without diagnosing the issue. Call EnergyLogic for technical support.
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO START THE BURNER WHEN EXCESS FUEL
HAS ACCUMULATED IN THE CHAMBER, WHEN THE HEATER IS FULL OF
VAPOR, OR WHEN THE COMBUSTION CHAMBER IS VERY HOT. Refer to section
6.4.1 (heat exchanger cleaning) for instructions on removal of excess fuel.
Primary Control - Limited Reset/Lockout Mode: If several attempts to restart are not successful, the controller may go into
“Hard Lockout Call Service” mode. To reset, press and hold the “i” button for ten (10) seconds.
If this lockout occurs, do not continue to try to operate the burner until the problem has been resolved. Call for Technical Support.

5.4 Heater Startup
Prior to the initial startup of the heater, make sure the power has been on at least 10 minutes for the nozzle block to heat up. Once the burner is operating, the system should be checked and necessary adjustments made. It takes some time for fuel to reach the nozzle and push all the air out of the system.
DO NOT START THE BURNER UNLESS ALL CLEANOUT COVERS
AND THE FLUE PIPE ARE SECURELY IN PLACE.
5.4.1 Priming and Starting the Heater
This section explains how to prime the metering pump and start the heater.
1. Make sure the used oil storage tank has adequate oil, with oil level above the low fuel cut off float switch. Do NOT fill with new motor oil as it will not burn properly!
2. If power to the heater is off, switch it on. Wait 10 minutes for the oil preheater to heat up.
3. Verify that the primary control is not displaying any errors or lockouts. You may need to reset the controller by pressing the “i” button.
4. Set the thermostat to a high temperature to call for heat.
5. Once the burner motor starts running, quickly press the UP arrow on the primary control several times to add priming time to the system.
6. Monitor the view port on the side of the heater to confirm the presence of ignition spark and observe the status of the flame. If no spark is visible in the view port, stop priming by removing the call for heat (turning off the thermostat); troubleshoot the issue to restore ignition spark, then return to Step 3.
7. If no fuel sprays from the burner nozzle after 10 minutes of priming, call for technical support to troubleshoot the issue to restore fuel delivery to the system
8. When priming is achieved, the flame should light right away. Do not continue to spray fuel into the chamber if it is not burning!
9. The primary control will automatically switch out of “prime” mode into “run” mode once it sees a flame. Continue to the next section for important checks and adjustments.
10. If the heater will not light, call for technical support.

5.4.2 Burner System Checkout
Once the heater starts operating, make the following checks and adjustments:
If you are unable to obtain the proper adjustments, do not run the heater. If you cannot resolve the issue, call Technical Support for assistance.
Fan Operation: Within the first few minutes after the burner fires, make sure that the fan begins to operate and directs warm air into the room. If not, this may indicate a problem with the unit. Shut down the heater and diagnose the issue or call for assistance.
Exhaust System: Check that the flue exhaust is flowing properly, and there are no exhaust leaks inside the building. Check the outside flue pipe to ensure that no black smoke is present.
If smoke is present and the draft is correct (see adjustment procedure below), call for assistance.
Draft Adjustment: After operating the heater for about 15 minutes, verify the draft gauge is reading 0.04 inches of water column (“WC).
Draft Gauge
Knob / Weight
Damper Door
0.04 Inches WC
Draft reading and adjustment
•
If the draft gauge reading is less than 0.04 inches of WC: Loosen the adjustment weight on the barometric damper door, then slide it to the right or closer to the damper door pivot axis, and retighten it.
•
If the draft gauge reading is more than 0.04 in. WC: Slide the weight to the left or away from the damper door pivot axis, and retighten it.
•
Verify that the reading remains at 0.04 inches of WC with exhaust fans and vented appliances on in your building and all doors and windows closed.
A negative pressure inside the building may impede intake of combustion air to the burner, which may result in a hazard from smoke inhalation and/or fire. Use of exhaust fans in your shop without adequate make-up air may create a negative pressure. There are other possible causes as well. Corrective measures must be taken if the correct draft setting cannot be achieved.
If you are unable to adjust the damper door to obtain at least 0.04 inches WC, there is not enough draft for proper exhaust. Do not run the heater under this condition. If you cannot resolve the issue, call for assistance.
21
Call 1-800-351-0643 for Technical Support
Note: The draft gauge should read 0.0 inches of WC when the probe is removed from the stack. (If not, make sure the gauge is level, and readjust the zero knob). If the heater is not running, the draft gauge with the probe installed into the stack will not necessarily read zero, depending on ambient conditions.
The probe may be hot!
Fuel Pressure Gauge: The fuel pressure gauge on the pump outlet should read approximately 0-5 psi when the pump is operating.
•
If the fuel pressure reading is high, it is an indication that there is a clog in the fuel line somewhere. Look for crimped tubing, a clogged nozzle or solenoid valve, obstructions in the nozzle block, or possibly the solenoid valve is not opening properly. Clean or repair as necessary.
Vacuum Gauge: The vacuum gauge on the inlet of the pump should read between 0 and 5 inches of mercury (Hg). If the vacuum reading is above 5 in. Hg, the filter screen inside the tank will need to be removed and cleaned. If the reason for high vacuum cannot be determined, call for Technical Support.
Burn Quality – Visual Check: When the burner is operating properly, the flame is bright yellow. If the flame is other than bright yellow, this indicates improper combustion. Contact
Technical Support for help. The view port is hot. When cool, the viewport may be removed for cleaning. Do not operate the heater without the viewport in place.
Visual Flame Inspection

Air Pressure: The burner has a built-in air compressor to provide pressurized air for oil atomization at the nozzle. The air pressure is set at the factory to 4 psi. If the pressure has drifted and a pressure adjustment is required, loos en the 3/8” nut on the bleeder valve, adjust the stem with a small screwdriver, and tighten the nut to lock it in place. If 4 psi can not be achieved, see Sect. 6.4.4 – Air Compressor Maintenance. If operating on No. 2 Heating Oil
(or diesel fuel) the pressure should be reduced to 3 psi.
Burn Quality
– CO2 Exhaust Measurement:
Only a qualified service technician with an exhaust combustion analyzer should adjust the burner air shutter. Measurements are taken through the draft gauge probe port. Exhaust gas carbon dioxide readings should be approximately 11% ±1% for a clean heater.
The factory setting of the air shutter (75% open) is optimized for average operation, so it should not normally require adjustment. However, if operating at high-altitude (above 6000 feet), it can be opened fully. To adjust the shutter, loosen the locking screws, then rotate the shutter and retighten the locking screws.

Flame Monitoring Cad Cell: The primary control can be used to check the cad cell:
•
•
The resistance of the Cad Cell sensor goes down as it sees brighter light. The flame sensor should read <1500 Ohms of resistance with the flame burning properly.
If the flame looks bright, but the sensor is not responding properly, contact Technical
Support for assistance.

5.5 Everyday Operation of Your Used Oil Heater
Once installed and inspected, operate your heater as follows:
Daily Operation.
•
Set the room thermostat to the desired temperature. The heater should cycle on and off automatically based on the temperature.
•
When the fuel level starts to get low, a float switch in the tank will cut the thermostat circuit and the “Low Fuel” light will illuminate. Add sufficient fuel to tank and operation should resume on its own.
•
Do not shut power off to the heater unless it will not be used for an extended period of time (over 2 weeks). This will keep the oil hot and ready to fire.
Manage the Used Oil.
•
Do not put unapproved substances into your used oil storage tank. See section 1.4 for a list of approved fuels.
•
Monitor the bottom of your tank for water and drain it off on a regular basis.
•
To extend the cleaning interval of the in-tank filters, pre-screening the oil prior to putting it into the tank is recommended.
Monitor the System.
•
After your initial set up, monitor the system gauge readings on a regular schedule to assure that the system is stable. Record the readings and any maintenance performed in a maintenance log (see Sect. 8.3) to track your system performance over time. An hour meter is provided on the wiring box to keep track of run hours.
•
Maintain your heater. Regular maintenance will help to keep the heater running reliably and efficient for many years.
•
To shut down the heater in an emergency, turn off the power at the professionally installed, switched junction box or main breaker.
•
Do shut power off to the heater if it will not be used for 2 weeks or longer. This will prevent oil from cooking in the nozzle block.
Call 1-800-351-0643 for Technical Support

6. Maintenance
Regular maintenance is required to keep your heater operating reliably and efficiently. For best results, purchase an annual maintenance kit (PN 05000208), which includes a nozzle, all gaskets and o-rings, as well as an air compressor filter. A burner maintenance brush kit
(PN 05000071) is the best tool to use for cleaning the burner. A cleaning tool (PN 04000459), a vacuum and/or 6-inch flue brush can be used to remove ash from the heat exchanger.
6.1 Service Contracts
If you are not qualified or do not wish to perform the heater maintenance yourself, contact
Technical Support for the location of our nearest dealer or service provider. Putting a service contract in place is the best way to make sure that the required maintenance is completed regularly, and your system will operate reliably when needed, saving you both time and money.
6.2 Safety Warnings – Lockout/Tagout
There are many potential hazards associated with working on this equipment, including electricity, heat, heights, dust and chemicals.
Make sure the main electrical circuit is off and locked out / tagged out prior to performing maintenance.
Wear proper safety equipment for the tasks, including a HEPA quality dust mask to avoid inhalation of ash dust when cleaning the heat exchanger or flue. Use suitable access aids/equipment when working on the heater. Do not climb on the heater. General safety rules and precautions should be followed at all times to prevent any accidents that could lead to personal injury or property damage. Only those qualified should perform these tasks.
6.3 Monitoring System Performance over Time
EnergyLogic recommends that you monitor and record your system gauge readings regularly over time, in order to diagnose issues that may arise. For example, if the pump vacuum gauge initially reads 2 inches Hg, but over time has risen to 10 inches Hg, it is an indication that the fuel filter is most likely clogged up. Record the system gauge readings on your maintenance schedule and log provided in Section 8.3 of the Appendix. Have this log handy if you call for technical support.

7. Troubleshooting
Your heater is designed and built for years of reliable service with regular maintenance. Should you experience trouble, refer to this section for troubleshooting guidance.
Do not tamper with the unit or controls if you are not qualified
– call your service technician or Technical Support for assistance.
Testing may include working with high voltage electricity, which if mishandled may cause serious injury or death.
Start Here – First Steps of Trouble Shooting.
It has been our experience that many problems can be traced to improper installation, improper maintenance, poor fuel quality, or unintended results from changes made to the system or surrounding structures. So, the first steps in troubleshooting shall always begin with the following:
Verify installation and environmental factors. Refer to Chapters 2 through 4. Remember that even if the original installation was properly performed, there can be unintended results from changes made to the building or structure. a. Is there adequate combustion and make up air? Have exhaust fans or other devices been added to the building that may create a negative pressure within the building? Has another fuel burning appliance been added to the building or room? Consider make up air requirements for all appliances. b. Exhaust Flue System: Check draft setting. Have changes taken place on the roof that might affect the flue stack? Any obstructions (birds nest, etc.) in the flue. c. Is the electrical circuit still sufficient, or has it been compromised by the addition of other appliances to the circuit? Is the power clean?
Verify maintenance. If maintenance has not been performed timely and properly – STOP – perform ALL maintenance (Chapter 6) before troubleshooting. Smoke, soot, trouble in lightingoff or tripping out can all be caused by lack of proper maintenance.
Verify equipment. Common things to check are: a. Is the fuel in the tank low? Has the fuel level fallen below the float switch? b. Are the float switch and thermostat working properly? Verify continuity between the two pins in the white plug going into the side of the burner. c. Is the pickup strainer dirty or clogged? Indicated by a high vacuum reading on the pump inlet gage. d. Has fuel condition changed (bad fuel, water in fuel)? Check for water emulsified in oil at the drain. If bad fuel is suspected, drain the tank and fill with different used oil or
#2 heating oil. e. Has the nozzle or solenoid valve become clogged. Indicated by a high pressure reading on the pump outlet gauge. f. Is the air compressor making the correct pressure? Check the air pressure
37
Call 1-800-351-0643 for Technical Support
gauge on the burner. g. Is there a good spark? The spark should be at least ½-inch long and shoot out over the end of the spray nozzle. Check for spark through the viewport window during an ignition attempt. Remove the window and clean if necessary. h. Are the oil preheaters working properly? With the thermostat unplugged so the burner will not attempt to start, carefully open the burner cover and feel the nozzle block to make sure it is hot. i. Do unauthorized persons have access to the system? Have the controls been tampered with? Check factory settings (start up, Section 5).
If your issue persists after verifying these common causes are not present, contact
Technical Support for further assistance.
