EP270 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye EP270 is a microprocessor-based programmer module used with the FLAME-MONITOR Burner Management Control System. It is designed to provide start-up programming, safe-start checks, and flame monitoring supervision for commercial and industrial burners. The EP270 is specifically characterized by its early spark termination feature and features a plug-in design for easy installation and maintenance.

Features

• Early Spark Termination: Specifically designed for applications requiring the ignition spark to terminate before the main fuel valve is energized.
• Selectable Purge Timing: Dipswitches allow for configurable purge durations ranging from 30 seconds to 30 minutes.
• Trial for Ignition (TFI): Supports selectable 5 and 10-second trial for ignition timings.
• Smart Diagnostics: Includes built-in history storage for burner cycles, lockout events, and system hours, accessible via alpha-numeric displays.
• Communication Capabilities: Equipped with built-in Modbus-RTU communications and interfaces for remote displays or communication modules.
• Safety Checks: Ensures proof of low fire position and fuel valve end switch safety before proceeding in the cycle.

Applications

The EP270 is used in burner management systems to manage the sequence of operation for industrial and commercial burners. It is ideally suited for systems where early spark termination is required to prevent interference or meet specific safety protocols. It is commonly integrated into the Fireye Flame-Monitor system used in boilers, furnaces, and other large-scale combustion equipment to monitor limit switches, air flow, and fuel pressure.
