It is rated for continuous duty and can be used with intermittent, or interrupted ignition primary controls.
The Beckett oil igniter is designed to mount in the same manner as standard ignition transformers and igniters.
This igniter can be adapted to multiple base plates to accommodate Beckett residential and commercial burners. It will also fi t
on many other vendors’ transformer base plates.
CAUTION! Do not use this igniter beyond its design specifi cations. Improper operation and igniter failure may result.

Tighten all screws securely.
Install the barrier and base plate gaskets for AF, AFG, and
CF375 Beckett burners. Do not use barrier gasket on NX.
Use gaskets for other burner models, as required by the manu-
facturer.
Use of top mounting screws is possible for Beckett AF, AFG,
NX, CF375, SM, SF, CF500 and CF800.
Mount the assembled unit to the burner using the screws sup-
plied.
Use “paint scraping” screws for all burners (2 at the hinge and
2 for non-hinged base plates). Tighten these screws securely
to provide effective grounding to burner housing.
Verify the burner is properly grounded.
Carefully route the igniter input leads to prevent them from be-
ing pinched during closing. Install cad cell, if applicable.
Fasten cad cell leads to control, if applicable. Wire white to
neutral and blue to primary control ignition lead. Refer to con-
trol or appliance manufacturer’s wiring diagram.
Verify the igniter secondary output terminals are correctly
arranged to make good electrical contact with the oil burner
electrodes.
Close the igniter. Install and securely tighten the two front
base plate retaining screws (4 screws, if no hinge).
Reconnect electric power to the burner circuit.
Verify with instruments that the burner is adjusted to the
manufacturer’s recommended settings
Cycle the burner several times to verify prompt and smooth
ignition before leaving. 5.

Installation Instructions (If base plate is already
installed, skip to step number 9):
Locate the igniter blue “hot” and white “neutral” input leads.
Install the 32411 igniter gasket, if required, and route the leads
through the appropriate base plate lead exit hole. Make sure
these leads are not being crushed.
Mount the igniter fl ush to base plate with the mounting screws
supplied.
Note: Use #6 x 7/16” screws when using the bottom mounting
holes. Use #10 thread forming paint scraping screws, if using
the two top mounting holes for 5199701 & 5199702. For
5199703, use 1/4” machine screws, placing (1) 1/4” lockwasher
between screw head and baseplate to ensure ground. 1.
