EP166 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye EP166 is a high-performance programmer module designed for use with the FLAME-MONITOR Burner Management Control System, specifically compatible with E100 and E110 chassis. This microprocessor-based module provides essential start-up programming, safe-start checks, and continuous flame monitoring supervision for commercial and industrial burners. It is specifically engineered to include a pilot stabilization period, ensuring a stable flame is established before the main fuel valve is energized.

Features

• Provides comprehensive start-up sequencing, including open damper high-purge and proof of low fire position.
• Features six dipswitches on the side of the module for field-customization of operational characteristics.
• Includes a 5-second pilot stabilization period during the main trial for ignition (MTFI) phase.
• Constant monitoring of the running interlock circuit, including limit, air flow, and fuel pressure switches.
• Equipped with an RJ45 connector for interfacing with ED510 or ED500 alpha-numeric display modules.
• Supports Modbus protocol communication for integration into broader building management systems.
• Non-recycle operation ensures a safety lockout occurs if any interlock circuit opens during the cycle.

Applications

The Fireye EP166 is primarily used in industrial and commercial combustion systems to manage the safe start-up and monitoring of gas, oil, or combination fuel burners. It is an ideal component for boilers, furnaces, and ovens that require precise timing for pre-purge and pilot stabilization. It is designed to work in conjunction with Fireye UV7 ultraviolet scanners or other compatible flame detectors within the Flame-Monitor system architecture.
