PRECAUTIONS
Waste oil may contain many foreign materials. Waste oil may also contain gasoline. Therefore, specific precautions on the handling and storage of waste oils are to be observed when using, cleaning, and maintaining this heater. Use a screen in a funnel when pouring oil into storage tank to catch foreign material, i.e., gasket material and sealant fibers, etc. WARNING: This appliance is not designated for use in hazardous atmospheres containing flammable vapors or combustible dust, or atmospheres containing chlorinated or halogenated hydrocarbons. Do not expose this unit to rain or moisture. If installed in high moisture atmosphere, a special cover for the integrated air compressor must be obtained from factory to avoid rusting of internal raw metals. If this occurs, see trouble-shooting guide for remedy. Uses only crank case oil, gear oil, hydraulic oils, auto trans. Fluid, or #1 and #2 furnace oil. Do not use old, contaminated oils that have been stored in underground tanks or outside barrels for long periods. Excessive water and sludge may be present, causing quick filter plugging. NOTES: The instructions contained in this manual apply to the installation, operation, and service of Omni Waste oil fired heaters. The following instructions should be carefully followed for obtaining the best possible installation, operation, and service conditions. Specifications are subject to change without notice. This heater was designed to be a primary or auxiliary heat source, but not the only source of heat. And provide economical disposal of waste oil. Proper operation depends on the consistency of the oil. Any water or foreign material in the oil may cause the unit to shut down. If a continuous stream of oil cannot be guaranteed at the heater, the main heating system should be set above freezing which will prevent any building damage if the waste oil heater were to become inoperative during subfreezing weather, i.e. supply tank empty, filter plugged, etc. UNCRATING: Immediately upon uncrating units, check rating plate for certainty of electrical and mechanical characteristics. Also, check the unit for any damage that may have been incurred in shipment, if any damage is found, file a claim with the transporting agency. The unit has been tested and inspected at the factory prior to crating and was in perfect condition at that time. If anything is missing, check packing slip for indications of possible backorder of those parts or components. Otherwise, a claim must be filed for those missing parts.

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions

IMPORTANT
NOTICE TO OWNER AND INSTALLER
To enjoy the long-term benefits of burning your used oil in an Omni Waste Oil Burning appliance, it is necessary to become familiar with the correct installation operation and maintenance of your new furnace. Before installing or operating this appliance, make sure you read and understand this manual.

IMPROPER INSTALLATION, ALTERATIONS, OR LACK OF MAINTENANCE WILL VOID THE WARRANTY

The most critical sections of this manual are in order of importance as follows: Basic Operation Knowledge Oil Suction Line Installation Correct Draft Over Fire General Maintenance Requirements

Identical to any gas or oil furnace, without adequate draft over the fire, the combustion gases cannot escape the furnaces. The flame will lengthen resulting in an overheated combustion chamber. Even if the heater is installed correctly and adequate draft achieved, a flue passage blockage will affect the draft. Burning used oil is similar to burning wood. A fine gray ash accumulates in the chamber and flue passage. This accumulation of ash will eventually affect the draft. It is important to remove this ash before the draft is affected. These topics are discussed in detail on the pages listed above. Please familiarize yourself with these sections of your manual. Spending a few minutes to review this material will assure that you receive the return on investment that you expect from your Omni heater.

Figure 1 Installation Diagram

STACK INSTALLATION
1. Install a barometric damper (NOT included) in the stack if the draft up the stack exceeds -.08. Draft up the stack must be -.04 to -.06 inches of water column. Check with draft meter between the top of the heater and damper. The over fire draft should be a minimum of -.02- check through flame inspection port. Closing the damper door can increase draft.

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions

2. For optional draft inducers or power vent wiring, See Figure 2. One of these devices must be installed where back draft is present. In building or correct draft cannot be achieved.

OIL SUPPLY PIPING

1.

Use ONLY 3/8 nominal ID copper tubing with flare fittings only on the fuel suction from the tank to the heater- Do NOT use ferrule fittings or Teflon tape on any pipefittings.

2. Keep suction line approximately 6 from bottom of oil tank to prevent suction of sludge. Drain accumulated sludge and water from tank periodically. 3. Use only an inside oil storage tank to supply heater. Do not draw from an outside tank, especially not an underground tank, directly to heater. A separate transfer pump from an outside tank with proper filtration to the inside supply tank is acceptable and available from Econo Heat. 4. The fuel supply pump included with heater is to be mounted at tank level or below. (figure 1). This pump turns slowly requiring a number of minutes to accomplish purging ALL air, if bubbles, skips, even slight pulsations in the oil flow from pumps bleeder port is unacceptable and must be removed assuring proper oil flow to heater. Otherwise, the flame sensor will not see enough flame and heater will lockout. NOTE: PUMP ASSEMBLY MUST BE MOUNTED HORIZONTAL. 5. Connect 3/8 oil supply line from the supply tank through the filter (figure 1) to the pump inlet located same side as bleeder port. (figure 6) Continue oil supply line from pump outlet to bulk head fitting secured to cabinet at left side of burner assembly (bulk head fitting has fuel flex hose connecting it to burner).

WIRING
See Schematic diagram below (Pg.7 Figure 2) and/or inside door of main electrical junction box on heater.

Omnis patented burner technology improves the efficiency of the oil burn process by continuous stabilization of the oil viscosity. Optimum atomization (spray) is accomplished by precisely preheating the oil and air prior to introduction to the combustion chamber. The waste oil enters into the Oil Pre-Heater Block (figure 4) and is pre-heated to operating thermo setpoint, then compressed air from the air compressor (figure 3) is mixed with the oil prior to spraying out the nozzle similar to fuel injection, by breaking up the oil droplets into a finer mist or spray (atomization). Electrodes mounted just above the nozzle (figure 5) provides continuous electrical arc across electrode to electrode igniting the fine oil mist as it sprays out of the nozzle. Once ignited the flame is forced into a swirl caused by the burners blower and specially designed flame cone (figure 5) providing a very efficient and thorough burn of the waste oil.

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions

Burner Components Igniter Transformer: (figure 3) Supplies high voltage to the electrodes generating electrical arc igniting the oil. Oil Valve: (figure 5) energizes when burner is running and de-energizes when burner is not running eliminating bleed back of oil out of the Pre-heater block. Air Band: (figure 3) Adjusts amount of air introduced into the combustion chamber. Air band is adjusted at the factory for optimum performance, approx. to inch open. NO FIELD ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED unless in high altitudes application where minor adjustment may be required. Oil Primary Control: (figure 3) Controls the oil burner ignition. Checks for flame in the combustion chamber, if no flame is detected within 45 seconds, the oil primary will shutdown the oil burner. To restart the unit, reset the red button on the oil primary. Oil Pre-Heater Block: (figure 4) Pre-heats the oil and air before entering combustion chamber. Photo Eye: (figure 4) Senses flame in combustion chamber and signals oil primary when no flame is present. Igniter Springs: (figure 4) Transfers the high voltage from the igniter transformer to the electrodes (when door is closed) Air Pressure Gauge: (figure 3) Displays air pressure supplied by onboard air compressor. Air Compressor: (figure 3) Supplies air used within pre-heater block to aid in atomization of the oil. Air Muffler/Filter: (figure 3) Filters air and muffles the sound generated by the compressor. Pre-Heater Control Circuit Board: (figure 4) Precisely controls temperature of the Oil Pre-Heater Block and controls safety feature of not allowing burner to energize until oil has established operating thermo setpoint or shutdown burner if Pre-Heater Block temperature falls below shutdown thermo setpoint. Electrodes: (figure 4 and 5) Provides continuous high voltage electrical arc from electrode to electrode igniting the waste oil as it is being sprayed out of the nozzle. Nozzle: (figure 5) Low-pressure nozzle for oil spray pattern. Flame Cone: (figure 5) Specially engineered flame cone forces the flame into a swirl pattern improving the burn thoroughness. Burner Motor: (figure 5) Multitask motor turns the burner blower and integrated air compressor. Air Pressure Adjuster: (figure 3) Adjusts the air pressure going to the pre-heater block. Should be adjusted between 12 PSI and 13PSI as indicated on the Air Pressure Gauge on the burner for thorough burn of the waste oil. Note: In order to insure proper air adjustment, air gauge must read 0 when burner is cycled off or powered down. Oil Pressure Adjustment: Adjust flame length in the heater combustion chamber viewed through the inspection port located directly above the burner gun assembly by increasing CW or decreasing CCW the adjuster located on the oil delivery pump (figure7). The adjuster increases or decreases the pump motors RPM, which increases or decreases the delivery of fuel to the burner. When you increase or decrease the fuel

Installation, Operation, And Service Instructions

to the burner, you will notice the flame length will increase or decrease. Adjust flame length so flame is just slightly less than halfway down main combustion chamber tube. IMPORTANT: Power Indicator: (figure 3) Indicates when power is present at the burner. Run Indicator: (figure 3) Indicates that the burner is ready for operation after the initial pre-heat time of approx. 5 minutes from initial power up.

1. IMPORTANT- Prior to starting the unit, pre-fill the filter and fuel line with oil to assist priming procedure. Oil pump motor turns at low RPMs and would take significant time to complete priming process if not pre-filled. Make sure the oil supply line fittings are air tight. Vacuum leaks are notoriously hard to find. Pressurizing the line with oil in it can help to locate leaks. 2. Proper draft. Draft is the gasses traveling through the heater and out the stack or flue. If exhaust fans are present in your building, chances are a draft inducer will be needed. Call our factory or see our website for help, www.econoheat.com 3. During the initial power up process the burner is locked out from energizing until the oil has been properly pre-heated to operating thermo setpoint, approx 3 to 5 minute duration. Once the oil has been pre-heated, power is then applied to burner componenets and oil pump. 4. Making sure the thermostat is turned off, apply power to the burner. Switch burner main power switch to ON position. After allowing the oil pre-heater time to establish temperature setpoint, approximately 5 minutes. Jump the T terminals on the Oil Primary Control (figure 3). Once the burner is running, temporarily jump the F terminals on the Oil Primary. This will allow the burner to run during the pump priming process. 5. Priming the oil pump: Open bleeder valve one turn until all air is expelled (figure 6). This may need to be done twice to insure all air is removed. IMPORTANT: When fully purged and flame is established remove temporarily jumpers on F terminals of the Oil Primary to allow safety features of the unit to operate properly. 6. Adjust air supply of integrated air compressor to 8-12 P.S.I. This is factory preset, however, due to freight handling settings may be compromised. 7. Combustion air band (figure 3) should be open approximately 1/2 or until flame is clear yellow, not orange. Opening the air band too far may cause delayed in starting or even prevent the flame from starting. Inspect flame length through inspection door located above burner gun assembly. End of flame should reach no further than way down combustion tube . To accomplish this flame length, use adjustment knob on opposite side of oil pump. NEVER ATTEMPT TO START HEATER WHEN COMBUSTION CHAMBER IS HOT AND A DELAYED START.

MAINTENANCE SCHEDULE
WEEKLY --- Drain water from storage tank. MONTHLY --- Check your ash accumulation for best performance, remove if excessive (the size of unit, type of oil and run time are all contingent factors). --- Change or Replace Spin-On Filter (figure 14). Monitor : every application is different and may vary depending on contamination of oils being used. ONCE EACH SEASON (OR MORE DEPENDING UPON USAGE OR CONTAMINATION OF OIL). --- Swing out burner assembly clean out door and clean flame cone. (figure 5 and figure 8). --- Open the swing out doors on both sides of the furnace. The swing out door opposite of the burner assembly requires the removal of the access panel allowing simple entry to the combustion chamber and heat exchanger(s) to vacuum out the accumulated ash & soot (hepa filter recommended). (figure 12).

--- Clean Suntec pump filter. Remove pump cover for access. (figure 13). CAUTION!-Be careful of gasket. --- Clean air compressor filter element. YEARLY --- Clean flue pipe stack-to loosen soot remove stack at top of heater and tap thoroughly. Then vacuum upper heat exchanger(s). --- Inspect electrode adjustment. (figure 10). Due to erosion, adjustment may change. --- Replace nozzle every 3-5 years depending on usage (figure 5, 9, 11). Will lose efficiency due to erosion. This can be accessed by swinging burner clean out door open. (figure 8) ---IMPORTANT: TO TURN POWER OFF, Remove electrical plug from heater cabinet to burner. Remove 9/16 burner door securing nuts, swing open burner clean out door. Remove nozzle with 5/8 socket. (figure 8, 9) ELECTRODE ADJUSTMENTS Electrodes are adjusted at time of manufacture. However, they should be check periodically and at time of installation, to be sure they are set as noted in the following dimensional drawing. Swing burner clean out door back for inspection. (figure 5, 10, and 11) CAUTION: TURN OFF MAIN ELECTRIC SUPPLY SWITCH BEFORE CHECKING OR ADJUSTING ELECTRODE SETTING. NOZZLE POSITION IN RELATION TO ENDCONE/BURNER TUBE Tip of nozzle must be ahead of inside radius of en d-cone. If nozzle is behind inside radius of end-cone, coking will occur and end cone can become clogged. (figure 10). IMPORTANT NOTE: be sure nozzle is centered, if nozzle is higher than center, press nozzle down to bottom out preheater stand. To adjust, open burner clean out door (figure 8), loosen Preheat Sink securing nut and set screw, push fore or aft as needed.
