EP163 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye EP163 is a programmable programmer module designed for use with the FLAME-MONITOR Burner Management Control System, specifically for E100 and E110 chassis. Unlike standard modules that use physical dipswitches, the EP163 allows users to configure operational characteristics, such as purge timing and Trial For Ignition (TFI), through the ED510 Display Module. It provides essential start-up programming, safe-start checks, and continuous flame monitoring supervision to ensure safe burner operation.

Features

• Programmable configuration via the ED510 Display Module, eliminating the need for manual dipswitch adjustments.
• Selectable purge timing with a minimum of 30 seconds.
• Non-recycle operation on running interlocks for enhanced safety.
• Comprehensive safety checks including open damper (high purge) prepurge, proof of low fire position, and fuel valve end switch monitoring.
• Integrated running interlock circuit that monitors limit, airflow, and fuel pressure switches throughout the control cycle.
• Automatic safety lockout if safety circuits are opened at an improper point in the cycle.

Specifications

• Model Number: EP163
• Supply Voltage: 120V (standard for Flame-Monitor systems)
• Pilot Trial for Ignition (PTFI): 5 seconds
• Main Trial for Ignition (MTFI): 5 seconds
• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT): 4 seconds
• Purge Timing: Selectable (default 40 seconds)
• Dimensions: 6.05 x 6.8 x 1.65 inches
• Weight: Approximately 0.53 lbs (320 grams)
• Compatibility: Fireye E100, E110, and EB700 chassis; requires ED510 display for programming.

Applications

The EP163 is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems to manage automatically ignited oil, gas, and combination fuel burners. It is ideal for applications requiring precise control over purge and ignition timings, such as industrial boilers, furnaces, and process heaters. It is frequently utilized in systems where a digital display interface is preferred for field configuration and diagnostics.
