MBCE-230FR-3 Fireye Flame Sensor Module

Overview

The Fireye MBCE-230FR-3 is a flame sensor module designed to provide visual indication and electrical outputs signaling the presence of a flame in a combustion chamber. This module is part of the MBCE series and specifically uses flame rods to detect flames independently or as a component within a larger burner management system. It is engineered for non-permanent operation, requiring the burner to be recycled at least once every 24 hours. Notably, this specific model is CE approved and not for sale in the United States.

Features

• Flame Rod compatible for reliable flame sensing.
• Flame ON/OFF LED indicator for immediate visual status.
• 4 to 20 mA output allows for direct reading of flame signal strength.
• Uses a standard CE approved 11-pin relay base.
• Versatile mounting options including panel surface or DIN-rail mounting.
• Flame pull-in threshold adjustment for fine-tuning performance.
• Built-in self-check capability to ensure operational integrity.

Applications

The MBCE-230FR-3 is primarily used in industrial and commercial combustion systems to monitor flames in natural gas, propane, and light fuel oil applications. It is ideally suited for multi-burner environments where independent flame monitoring is required. The module is designed to work with the 60-2886 stand-alone wiring base and is commonly integrated into burner management systems that prioritize safety and precise flame signal monitoring in European and other CE-regulated markets.
