MEC120R Fireye CHASSIS

Overview

The Fireye MEC120R is a compact, microprocessor-based chassis module designed for the MicroM Series Flame Safeguard Control system. It serves as the foundation for a modular burner management system, providing automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial-sized heating and process equipment. This specific model is engineered with a 120 VAC input and features an integrated remote reset capability, allowing operators to reset lockout conditions from a distance via a dry contact or power cycle. It is designed to be backward compatible with legacy Fireye M-Series, M-Series II, UVM, and TFM controls, enabling easy upgrades to existing installations using standard wiring bases.

Features

• Modular Design: Accepts a variety of plug-in programmer and amplifier modules to customize control functions and flame scanning methods.
• Remote Reset Capability: Built-in functionality allows for remote clearing of lockout status.
• Microcontroller Technology: Eliminates dependence on discrete components for timing functions, ensuring high accuracy and reliability.
• Smart Diagnostic LEDs: Provides real-time operating status and communicates fault codes through specific LED sequences during lockout.
• Versatile Compatibility: Supports various flame detection methods, including flame rods, ultraviolet (UV) scanners, and infrared (IR) scanners.
• Safety Logic: Includes built-in smart logic to ensure safe burner startup, supervision, and shutdown sequences.

Specifications

• Model Number: MEC120R
• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (+10%, -15%), 50/60 Hz
• Power Consumption: 12 VA (Operating)
• Operating Temperature: -40 degree F to 140 degree F (-40 degree C to 60 degree C)
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg)
• Protection: Includes a dust cover for the internal electronics.
• Humidity: 0% to 95% relative humidity (non-condensing)

Applications

The Fireye MEC120R is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems for burners firing gas, oil, or combination fuels. It is ideally suited for applications requiring a modular safeguard control with the convenience of remote reset, such as in multi-burner environments or locations where the control panel is not easily accessible. Common applications include commercial boilers, water heaters, and various industrial process furnaces. It is frequently utilized in retrofit projects to replace older M-Series controls without requiring significant rewiring of the existing base.
