MEC320 Fireye CHASSIS

Overview

The Fireye MEC320 is a microprocessor-based MicroM Series chassis designed for automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring of commercial heating and process burners. As a modular flame safeguard control, it serves as the foundational platform that accepts plug-in amplifier and programmer modules to customize burner management functions. It is engineered to be backward compatible with existing Fireye M-Series, M-Series II, TFM, and UVM controls, allowing for easy system upgrades.

Features

• Modular design allows for interchangeable plug-in programmer and amplifier modules to suit various fuel types and timing requirements.
• Integrated local reset button and smart diagnostic LEDs for simplified troubleshooting and status monitoring.
• Independent relay outputs on terminals 3 and 4 provide versatile control for pilot fuel and ignition.
• Microcontroller technology eliminates dependence on discrete components for timing functions, increasing reliability.
• Optional support for ED510 alphanumeric display, remote reset capability, and serial communications via Modbus or E500 interface.

Specifications

• Model Number: MEC320
• Input Voltage: 120 VAC (+10%, -15%), 50/60 Hz
• Power Consumption: 12 VA (Operating)
• Temperature Range: -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F (-40 degrees C to 60 degrees C)
• Relay Outputs: Independent relays on terminals 3 and 4
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg)
• Compatibility: For use with MEP300 and MEP600 series programmers

Applications

The MEC320 chassis is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems, including boilers and process burners firing any type of fuel (gas, oil, or combinations). It is typically applied in environments requiring robust flame safeguard protection and is compatible with various Fireye flame scanners, such as the UV1A, UV2, and 48PT2 models. It is ideal for facilities looking to integrate burner controls into upper-level energy management systems via Modbus communications.
