How to Wire a Honeywell R8184-1051

Installing a Honeywell R8184 on your furnace will prevent oil loss if your flame goes out. The Honeywell 8184 is a protective device that is attached to the furnace and is controlled by a flame sensor, or CAD cell. The sensor detects when there is a flame present in the furnace. If the flame has gone out, the R8184 will turn off the burner motor to prevent oil waste. This will save you a great deal of money in terms of heating oil.

Things You'll Need

No. 8 mounting screws
Philips head screwdriver
Wire strippers
Wire connectors

Instructions

  Disconnect the power supply before starting the installation. Mount the junction box directly to the furnace or inside the appliance cabinet. Run the wires from the burner, oil valve, igniter, and limiter into the junction box at the bottom. Strip 3/8 inch of wire off of the ends.

  Connect the orange wires from the burner, oil valve, and the igniter to the orange wire from the R8184. Do the same for the white wires. Connect the black wire from the limiter to the black wire from the R8184. Mount the R8184 with the mounting screws provided with the package.

  Loosen the screws on the right side the panel of the R8184. Strip the wire ends from the CAD cell and the thermostat. Connect the CAD cell to the F terminals and screw them in. Connect the thermostat wires to the T terminals and screw them in.
