MEC120C Fireye CHASSIS

Overview

The Fireye MEC120C is a 120 VAC chassis designed for the MicroM Series Flame Safeguard Control system. It acts as a compact, microprocessor-based modular burner management system that provides automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial and industrial heating and process equipment. This specific model features a communication interface daughter board, enabling integration with E500 Communication Interfaces and Modbus protocols for remote monitoring and data acquisition.

Features

• Modular design with plug-in daughter board for E500 and Modbus communication.
• Microprocessor-based technology for precise timing and diagnostic logic.
• Smart diagnostic LEDs providing immediate visual feedback and fault coding.
• Backward compatibility with existing M-Series wiring bases (UVM, TFM, and M-Series II) for easy upgrades.
• Supports various flame detection methods including ultraviolet (UV), self-checking UV, and flame rectification (flame rod) via interchangeable amplifier modules.
• Safety checking circuit operative on every start to prevent ignition if a flame signal is present during purge.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (min. 102, max. 132), 50/60 Hz.
• Power Consumption: 12 VA (Operating).
• Operating Temperature: -40 degree F to 140 degree F (-40 degree C to 60 degree C).
• Humidity: 0% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing).
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg).
• Enclosure: Dust cover included for protection in industrial environments.

Applications

The MEC120C is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems to manage burners firing natural gas, propane, or No. 2 oil. It is commonly applied in boiler rooms, process heaters, and furnaces where remote communication and data logging via Modbus are required for system management. It is compatible with a wide range of MicroM series plug-in programmers and amplifiers to tailor control functions like purge timing and flame failure response time to specific application needs.
