Figure 11A: Wiring Diagram for LE Boilers with Beckett AFG Burner and Split Controls SEQUENCE OF OPERATION A call for heat by the thermostat energizes the L7248C control which in turn energizes the R7184B primary control. The burner will initiate ignition after completing a 10 second pre-purge cycle. If burner ignites within approximately 45 seconds and the cad cell sees flame, the burner will continue to operate until the call for heat is satisfied or the setting of the high limit is reached

Important Product Safety Information Refractory Ceramic Fiber Product Warning: The Repair Parts list designates parts that contain refractory ceramic fibers (RCF). RCF has been classified as a possible human carcinogen. When exposed to temperatures about 1805°F, such as during direct flame contact, RCF changes into crystalline silica, a known carcinogen. When disturbed as a result of servicing or repair, these substances become airborne and, if inhaled, may be hazardous to your health. A
