EP380 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye EP380 is a microprocessor-based programmer module designed for use with the FLAME-MONITOR Burner Management Control System (specifically E100 and E110 chassis). It serves as the central control unit for the system, providing essential start-up programming, safe-start checks, and continuous flame monitoring supervision. Engineered for industrial and commercial combustion applications, the EP380 manages the sequencing of the burner’s firing cycle and ensures all safety interlocks are met before and during operation.

Features

• Selectable Operation: Includes dipswitches to configure recycle or non-recycle operation if running interlocks open during the firing cycle.
• Safe-Start Check: Automatically performs a 2-second safe-start check before the purge cycle begins.
• Plug-in Design: Features a modular design for easy installation and replacement within the Flame-Monitor chassis.
• Status Display: Provides a continuous readout of operating status and flame signal through compatible ED510 alpha-numeric displays.
• History Storage: Maintains a non-volatile memory log of burner cycles, burner hours, and lockout history with time stamps.
• Communication Support: Equipped with RJ45 and RJ12 connectors for interfacing with remote displays and Modbus communication systems.
• Running Interlock Monitoring: Constantly supervises limit switches, airflow switches, and fuel pressure switches.

Specifications

• Model Number: EP380
• Input Voltage: 120 VAC (standard for compatible wiring bases)
• Purge Timing: 30 seconds minimum (factory default; selectable up to 30 seconds via dipswitches)
• Trial for Ignition (TFI): Selectable 5 or 10-second settings
• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT): 4 seconds maximum
• Post-Purge Timing: 15 seconds
• Modulation: None (Non-modulating)
• Dimensions: Approximately 6.75 x 6.4 x 1.6 inches
• Shipping Weight: 0.90 lbs to 1 lb

Applications

The Fireye EP380 is primarily used in industrial and commercial heating and process environments for managing burner sequences. It is suitable for:

• Industrial boiler burner management systems.
• Commercial heating equipment and large-scale furnaces.
• Combustion control systems requiring fixed purge times without integrated firing rate motor modulation.
• Systems utilizing natural gas, propane, or light oil fuels.
