Konfiguracja i instalacja

Installation of the ignition transformer should only be performed by a qualified HVAC technician or electrician. Incorrect installation can lead to equipment damage, fire, or serious injury.

  1. Odłączenie zasilania: Before starting, ensure all electrical power to the oil burner and heating system is completely disconnected at the main service panel. Verify with a voltagtester.
  2. Access Old Transformer: Locate the existing ignition transformer on your Becket A, AF, or AFG burner. Note its mounting position and wiring connections.
  3. Odłącz okablowanie: Carefully disconnect the primary (low voltage) and secondary (high voltage) wiring from the old transformer. Label wires if necessary to ensure correct reconnection.
  4. Remove Old Transformer: Unmount the old transformer from its bracket or housing.
  5. Mount New Transformer: Mount the new Allanson 2721-628G transformer in the same location and orientation as the old one. Ensure it is securely fastened.
  6. Podłącz okablowanie:
    • Connect the primary (120V) input wires to the designated terminals on the new transformer. Refer to the burner's wiring diagram for specific connections.
    • Connect the secondary (high voltage) output wires to the electrodes of the oil burner. Ensure a secure and proper connection to the spark gap.
  7. Sprawdź połączenia: Double-check all wiring connections for tightness and correctness according to the burner's specifications. Ensure no wires are pinched or exposed.
  8. Przywróć zasilanie i przetestuj: Once all connections are secure and verified, restore power to the burner. Initiate a call for heat and observe the ignition sequence. The transformer should produce a strong, consistent spark.

Zasada działania

The Allanson Ignition Transformer operates by stepping up the incoming 120V AC line voltage to a high voltage (10,000V) at a low current (23mA). This high voltage is then applied across the burner electrodes, creating an electrical arc (spark) that ignites the atomized fuel oil. The transformer is designed for intermittent duty, meaning it only operates during the ignition cycle of the burner, typically for a few seconds until stable combustion is established.

Konserwacja

Regular maintenance helps ensure the longevity and reliable operation of your ignition transformer. All maintenance should be performed by a qualified technician with power disconnected.

  • Roczna inspekcja: During routine burner servicing, inspect the transformer for any signs of physical damage, corrosion, or overheating (discoloration).
  • Sprawdzenie okablowania: Verify that all primary and secondary wiring connections are secure and free from fraying or insulation damage.
  • Czystość: Keep the transformer and its surroundings free from dust, dirt, and oil residue, which can impede heat dissipation and lead to premature failure.
  • Stan elektrody: While not directly part of the transformer, ensure the burner electrodes are clean, properly gapped, and free from cracks or carbon buildup, as their condition directly impacts the transformer's performance.

Rozwiązywanie problemów

If your oil burner is experiencing ignition issues, the ignition transformer may be a contributing factor. Always ensure power is disconnected before inspecting components.
