MEC120D Fireye Chassis

Overview

The Fireye MEC120D is a compact, microprocessor-based chassis designed for the MicroM Series Flame Safeguard Control system. It serves as the foundational component for a modular burner management system, providing automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial-sized heating and process equipment. The MEC120D model is specifically equipped with an alpha-numeric display interface intended for use with the ED510 display module, allowing for enhanced diagnostics and system status communication. It is engineered to be backward compatible with older Fireye M-Series II, TFM, and UVM controls, facilitating easier system upgrades.

Features

• Modular Design: Accepts various plug-in programmer and amplifier modules to customize control functions and timing.
• Microprocessor-Based: Utilizes microcontroller technology for precise timing and eliminated dependence on discrete components.
• Display Interface: Integrated daughter board specifically for interfacing with the Fireye ED510 alpha-numeric display.
• Smart Diagnostics: Features LED indicators that provide status information and coded fault sequences during lockout.
• Backward Compatibility: Designed to fit the same wiring base as M-Series II, TFM, and UVM controls.
• Communication Options: Supports serial communications via Modbus or E500 interface when equipped with appropriate modules.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (min 102, max 132), 50/60 Hz.
• Power Consumption: 12 VA (Operating).
• Operating Temperature: -40°F to 140°F (-40°C to 60°C).
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg).
• Dimensions: Approximately 5 inches high, 4.125 inches wide, and 2.5 inches deep.
• Compatibility: For use with MEP100, MEP200, and MEP500 series programmers.

Applications

The MEC120D chassis is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems to manage burners firing any type of fuel, including natural gas, propane, and fuel oil. It is typically employed in applications such as industrial boilers, large-scale furnaces, and commercial heating systems where reliable flame safeguard monitoring and advanced diagnostic capabilities are required. Its ability to interface with the ED510 display makes it ideal for environments where operators need immediate, readable access to system performance and troubleshooting data.
