Protectorelay Oil Burner Relay with Lock Out Timing

Honeywell R8184G4009 – Protectorelay® Primary Control for Oil Burners

The Honeywell R8184G4009 Protectorelay® is a line voltage primary safety control designed for use with oil-fired heating equipment. This unit functions as a burner primary control, providing switching and flame monitoring for systems with intermittent ignition and solenoid valves. It is engineered for single-stage oil burners with cad cell flame detection.

This control includes safety timing, manual reset on safety lockout, and LED lockout indication at the terminal block. It is commonly installed in forced warm air furnaces, boilers, and other hydronic heating applications requiring dependable flame safeguard and oil burner management.

Application Features

• Primary Burner Control – Controls burner motor, ignition transformer, and solenoid valve during heat call
• Flame Monitoring – Solid-state circuitry detects cadmium sulfide (cad cell) flame sensor signal for flame presence
• Safety Shutdown – Locks out after failed ignition or flame loss; requires manual reset to restore operation
• LED Diagnostic – Lockout indicator provides visual fault signal for easy troubleshooting
• Reset Capability – Top-mounted manual reset button for reactivation following lockout event
• Mounting Versatility – Fits standard 4” junction box or mounts directly to burner housing with provided screws
