Abstract: Systems, methods, and circuitries are provided for a controller for a fuel oil burner system that controls a fuel oil burner to perform intermittent ON cycles. In one example, a controller includes a memory configured to store a value for one or more burner control delay periods and a processor. The processor is configured to perform an auto-set procedure in a first ON cycle. The auto-set procedure includes detecting an oil valve in the fuel oil burner; determining that the value for a burner control delay period is a default value; and in response, storing a valve-present value as the value for the burner control delay period in the memory.
