CHECKOUT
TO
To check cad cell operation, use the following procedure:
NOZZLE
Disconnect the cad cell leadwires; then start the
burner. Shortly after the burner starts, place a
temporary jumper between terminals F-F. Connect
the ohmmeter across the cad cell leadwires;
resistance should be less than 1600 ohms.
Stop the burner and remove the temporary jumper.
With the burner off, check the dark cell resistance
across the cad cell leadwires. Resistance should be
greater than 20,000 ohms.

Reconnect the cad cell leadwires. Check the
Protectorelay" Burner Sequencing Relay control
according to the instructions packed with the control.
SERVICE AND REPLACEMENT
Under normal operating conditions, the C554A does not
require cleaning. If a badly adjusted burner causes heavy
accumulation of dirt and soot on the cell surface, carefully
wipe the cell surface to restore full view of the oil flame.
If the C554A is damaged, replace the plug-in part of the
cell. Order part no. 130367 Replacement Cad Cell.
