BF-655M Fireye Board

Overview

The Fireye BF-655M is a specialized motherboard designed for the Bi-Flame Dual Burner Monitoring System. It serves as the primary mounting and communication hub for the system, which is engineered to control the startup sequence and monitor the flames of two individual gas, oil, or combination burners connected to a common valve train. This specific model features integrated RS-485 communications, allowing for remote data transmission and integration into larger industrial building management systems or process control networks.

Features

• Dual Burner Control: Manages the independent startup and flame monitoring for two separate burners.
• RS-485 Communications: Built-in serial communication interface for remote monitoring and system integration.
• Dynamic Onboard Testing: Automatically checks for faulty relays, proof of valve closure, and shorted air switches.
• Configuration Flexibility: Utilizes dip switches on associated logic modules to customize sequence timing and system functions.
• Safety Interlocks: Includes terminals for combustion air flow checks, main fuel valve proof of closure, and high/low fire switch interlocks.
• Status Indicators: Supports LED lights to provide real-time operating and alarm status.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (+10%, -15%), 50/60 Hz.
• Power Consumption: 25 VA.
• Communication Protocol: RS-485.
• Temperature Range: -40 degree F to +140 degree F (-40 degree C to +60 degree C).
• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT): Typically 3 seconds.
• Agency Approvals: UL recognized (US and Canada) and FM approved.
• Enclosure Compatibility: Designed to house plug-in relay, logic, and power modules under a protective cover.

Applications

The BF-655M is utilized in commercial and industrial combustion environments where two burners operate on a single valve train. It is commonly applied in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemical, power generation, and pulp and paper. It is an ideal solution for HVAC boilers, industrial kilns, and ovens requiring dependable flame safeguard protection and the ability to communicate burner status to a centralized control room via RS-485.
