BP230UVFR-S3M Fireye Burner Control

Overview

The Fireye BP230UVFR-S3M is a professional-grade, microprocessor-based burner control module from the BurnerPRO series. This primary flame safeguard is designed to provide proper burner sequencing, ignition, and continuous flame monitoring for commercial heating and industrial process equipment. The S3M variant is specifically configured for 230VAC operation and features Series 3 timings, which are designed to be a functional drop-in replacement for Siemens LFL1.335 wiring bases. It integrates dual built-in amplifiers to support both ultraviolet (UV) scanners and flame rods (FR), ensuring high reliability and safety integrity in various combustion environments.

Features

• Dual Amplifiers: Integrated UV and FR amplifiers allow for flexible flame sensing using non-self-check UV scanners or flame rods.
• Communications: Built-in Modbus RTU protocol support via RS-485 for remote monitoring and system integration.
• Diagnostic Interface: Eight SMART LEDs provide real-time operating status and detailed lockout information for simplified troubleshooting.
• Advanced Logic: Includes non-volatile lockout capability, air-flow proving, and proof-of-fuel-valve-closure (POC) monitoring.
• System Testing: A run/check feature allows operators to manually step through and stop the program sequence (Purge, Ignition, PTFI, MTFI) for system validation.
• Robust Design: High-capacity relay contacts and a wide operating temperature range for demanding industrial applications.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 230 VAC (+10%, -15%) at 50/60 Hz.
• Power Consumption: 7 VA.
• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT): 1 second.
• Operating Temperature: -40 degree C to +60 degree C (-40 degree F to 140 degree F).
• Protection Category: IP40 rated housing.
• Humidity: 90% R.H. non-condensing.
• Dimensions: Approximately 4.0 x 4.0 x 4.4 inches (without wiring base).
• Weight: 2.5 lbs (1.13 kg).
• Timings: Series 3 configuration (matches Siemens LFL1.335 sequence).

Applications

The BP230UVFR-S3M is ideally suited for commercial and industrial burners firing gas or light oil. It is frequently used in oil refineries, petrochemical plants, and power generation facilities where precise burner management is required. Because it is compatible with the Siemens LFL wiring base, it serves as an efficient upgrade or replacement for legacy systems. It is intended for non-permanent operation when using a UV scanner (requiring a recycle at least once every 24 hours) and can support permanent operation when paired with a flame rod.
