MBPF-200S Fireye Flame Sensor Module

Overview

The Fireye MBPF-200S is a single-channel flame sensor module designed to provide visual indication and relay output based on the presence of a flame in a combustion chamber. A unique characteristic of this module is its versatility, as it can utilize ultraviolet (UV) scanners, flame rods, or both simultaneously to sense flame presence. It is designed to be used with the stand-alone wiring base (60-2726) and operates as a critical component within a burner management system to ensure safe operation.

Features

• Dual sensing capability allows for the use of UV scanners, flame rods, or both at the same time
• Visual indication via “Flame ON” LED and user-controlled “Flame Fail” LED
• Analog output test points to allow for direct reading of the flame signal with a voltmeter
• Standard 11-pin octal relay base for easy installation and replacement
• Flexible mounting options including panel surface mounting or DIN-rail mounting
• Remote testing of contacts available for system integration
• Rugged construction suitable for industrial combustion environments

Applications

The MBPF-200S is primarily used in industrial and commercial burner management systems to monitor flame presence in combustion chambers. It is compatible with Fireye optical ultraviolet scanners and flame rods. Common applications include monitoring gas-fired or oil-fired burners where reliable flame safeguard is required. It is an ideal solution for systems requiring a 220 VAC power supply and the flexibility to switch between or combine different flame sensing technologies.
