hi i like to understand in simple words how the rib works ,mostly how all six wires work.
how does it get energized on the low volt side or high volt side.
yellow/white  com  = volt?
yellow com =volt?
blue  n/close = volt?
orange n/open= volt?     thank you? maybe some example using all six wires?

Good old Levittown

by carefully reading your post sounds like ,when your system was converted to baseboard, the installers took some short cuts by not eliminating all the copper in the slab floors ( like your kitchen floor, maybe done on purpose for the cozy effect ).Some pic.s lets see if you have a LWC, maybe pressure gauge is old and not accurate.Good luck.If the heating contractor was send there by your oil supplier, you may need to ask to send a more seasoned mechanic.

sounds like is time

for the annual cleaning, and then go from there.

what is the failure code on

@ April 14, 2013 5:26 PM in Carlin 1150FD Flame Failures

the FIRE EYE control.Since this is a commercial unit I  suggest to post again on the new commercial site '' HVAC COMMERCIAL".I just started this past winter with commercial units and i had a good share of draft issues. The fireeye controls that i encounter put me on the right track with their failure codes.Good luck.

amazing new site

Thank you Dan for this new site. I am amazed to find this new site, i haven.t been on the site since early December when i was trying to learn about Iron Fireman burners.I want to thank the ones who helped me it was a great help. I had a long winter  and picked up a few thing on these commercial burners.Just like the residential world ,i had my hands full with draft issues. Right now i am dealing with one old smith dry base cast iron boiler with an iron fireman burner,slowly being replaced with Aerco condensing boilers (hydronic system) a honeywell controll system a two types of DDC  systems getting married. I will be seeking HELP.

Thank you

Thank you mister Jammer for your help,you probably think that i am a home owner trying to play around. I have 10 years  as a service man in the fuel industry(10 long years night and day with combustion analyzer as my pillow),mainly on residential burners.i have been to all the seminars ,beckett,riello,Carlin and so on so forth,to Dan seminars.And i am proud to say that i do not know it all. I know an empty tank from a full on ,and a clogged filter.I am now a public employee and want to  learn about the commercial burners.Yes i did disconnect the coupling and the noise went a way,couldn't wait any longer for the contractor,today i am putting a new one in and see what happens,there is time that i have to run on oil.
I also want to thank mister Ebebratt-ed for your great help,and Dan for this great web site.Happy Holydays to all of you.

@ December 10, 2012 6:55 PM in commercial dual fuel burners

I was running on oil when one of these units when on lock out. switched to  natural gas
and a horrible noise was coming from the Webster pump.PLaced a call to the contractor 2 days later no show.today i realized while running on nat.gas and these horrible noise that the burner is not going into high fire.at this point took it upon my self to check the burner coupling.removed the top left lid and there you go the coupling is stripped.i would like to replace the coupling but a do not know the correct sequence of steps like i do on a residential units.(units have been retrofitted with honeywell devices on all the linkages for programming).
MY silly question is can that stripped coupling have any thing to do with the gas side of the burner not going into high fire?

correct

Fireeye is the control not the burner, thank you all  for your help.the burner is a iron something i just can remember the name.Yes i have 10 years or more of residential burners experience, that is way i need and want to learn some more on it, literature ,class or school.I definetely won't be messing with the adjustment without proper training and calibration tools.But i would like to start troubleshooting some of the electrical relays and burner motors( the best part is when i ask the professional contractors a specific question they go around it and don't answear it!!).Any  classes in the ny area ?(thank you and do not worry in my 22years in the mechanical field i have never put my hands where they do not belong).

yes this is for pro

yes Rod this is for the pro,commercial steam is quiet different from residential.
the hartford loop trap is where it need to be just like a residential boiler.and as far the condensating line it works with a circulator and reservoir tank. i need some one like Steamhead. thanks for your help.
