MC120RE Fireye CHASSIS

Overview

The Fireye MC120RE is a 120 VAC modular chassis designed for the M-Series II Flame Safeguard Control system. It serves as the fundamental base for compact, microprocessor-based burner management systems, providing automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial-sized heating and process burners. Specifically engineered to meet European safety standards EN230 and EN298, the MC120RE includes remote reset capabilities, allowing operators to reset the system after a safety shutdown via a remote pushbutton or power interruption. This chassis must be paired with a compatible wiring base and plug-in programmer and amplifier modules to form a complete control system.

Features

• Modular design allows for easy installation and customization using plug-in programmer and amplifier modules.
• Remote reset capability via remote pushbutton or power interruption for increased operational flexibility.
• Backward compatibility with obsolete Fireye M-Series TFM and UVM controls.
• Built-in test jacks for easy monitoring of the flame signal.
• Compliance with European standards EN230 and EN298 for safety and performance.
• LED status indicators (when used with appropriate modules) for simplified diagnostics and troubleshooting.

Specifications

• Model Number: MC120RE
• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (min 102, max 132)
• Frequency: 50/60 Hz
• Power Consumption: 12 VA (operating)
• Ambient Temperature Limits: -40 degree F to 125 degree F (-40 degree C to 52 degree C)
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg)
• Approvals: Meets European EN230 and EN298 standards
• Reset Type: Remote (via pushbutton or power cycle)

Applications

The MC120RE chassis is used in commercial and industrial combustion environments to manage gas and/or light oil-fired burners. It is ideal for systems requiring a modular burner management solution where manual intervention for resets needs to be minimized through remote access. Common applications include heating boilers, process ovens, and various industrial furnaces that utilize ultraviolet (UV) scanners or flame rod detectors for flame sensing. It is particularly suited for European markets or applications requiring EN compliance.
