EP160 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye EP160 is a microprocessor-based programmer module designed for use with the FLAME-MONITOR Burner Management Control System, specifically chassis models E100 and E110. It serves as the central control unit for managing burner sequencing, including startup programming, safe-start checks, and continuous flame monitoring. The EP160 is engineered to provide high-level safety for automatically ignited oil, gas, and combination fuel burners by ensuring that all safety interlocks and limits are proven before and during the combustion cycle.

Features

• Microprocessor-based control for precise timing and reliable burner sequencing.
• Selectable purge timing of at least 30 seconds, with extended options via dipswitch settings.
• Dual Trial for Ignition (TFI) timing options of 10 and 15 seconds to meet diverse application requirements.
• Non-recycle operation that initiates a safety lockout upon flame failure or failure to ignite.
• Integrated dipswitches for field-configurable characteristics such as blower motor start delay and running interlock options.
• Plug-in design allows for easy installation into standard Flame-Monitor wiring bases.
• Onboard memory for storing burner cycles, operating hours, and a detailed lockout history.
• Supports interface with ED510 display modules for remote monitoring and diagnostics.

Applications

The EP160 Programmer is ideal for commercial and industrial burner management systems requiring strict compliance with safety codes and precise ignition control. It is commonly used in boiler rooms for heating systems, industrial furnaces, and ovens that utilize gas or oil burners. The module is specifically designed to work within the Fireye Flame-Monitor system, providing a robust solution for operators needing reliable monitoring of air flow, fuel pressure, and limit switches to prevent hazardous combustion conditions.
