MEC120RC Fireye CHASSIS

Overview

The Fireye MEC120RC is a compact, microprocessor-based MicroM Series burner control chassis designed for industrial and commercial flame safeguard applications. As a modular foundation, it provides automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring when combined with compatible plug-in programmer and amplifier modules. This specific “RC” model is distinguished by its integrated remote reset capability and communication interfaces, making it suitable for sophisticated burner management systems that require remote monitoring and diagnostics.

Features

• Modular design accepts a variety of plug-in programmer and amplifier modules to customize burner sequencing and flame detection
• Integrated remote reset capability allows for convenient and safe burner restarts without physical access to the unit
• Built-in interface for the ED510 alpha-numeric display to facilitate local commissioning and troubleshooting
• Interface for E500 Communication Interface and Modbus protocol for seamless integration into Building Automation Systems (BAS)
• LED status indicators provide immediate visual feedback on the control’s operating state
• Secure safety lockout protection ensures equipment and personnel safety during fault conditions

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (minimum 102, maximum 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 Range: 0% to 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg)
• Load Ratings: Terminal 8 (Motor/Contactor) rated at 9.8 FLA, 58.8 LRA
• Alarm Circuit: 125 VA pilot duty

Applications

The MEC120RC is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems to manage gas, oil, or combination fuel burners. It is ideally suited for applications requiring centralized monitoring or remote operation via Modbus or the E500 communication interface. Common installations include heating boilers, process furnaces, and ovens where a modular, high-discrimination flame safeguard control is necessary to ensure safe startup, operation, and shutdown sequences.
