MEC320R Fireye CHASSIS

Overview

The Fireye MEC320R is a microprocessor-based chassis designed for the MicroM Series Flame Safeguard control system. This compact, modular burner management platform provides automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial-sized heating and process burners. The MEC320R specifically features remote reset capability, allowing operators to reset the control from a distant location, which is ideal for multi-burner applications or restricted access areas. It is engineered to be backward compatible with existing TFM, UVM, and M-Series II controls, facilitating easy system upgrades.

Features

• Modular Design: Utilizes plug-in programmer and amplifier modules to allow for customized timing and flame scanning methods.
• Remote Reset: Incorporates a dedicated circuit for remote reset capability, enhancing operational flexibility.
• Smart Diagnostics: Includes LED indicators that provide real-time operating status and coded sequences for troubleshooting during safety lockouts.
• Backward Compatibility: Designed to replace older M-Series controls without requiring extensive rewiring.
• Enhanced Control: Supports advanced functions such as early spark termination, pilot proving, and interrupted pilot when used with compatible programmers.
• Communication Options: Compatible with optional alphanumeric displays (ED510) and serial communications via Modbus or E500 interfaces.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (min 102, max 132) 50/60 Hz
• Power Consumption: 12 VA (Operating)
• Temperature Rating: -40 degree F to 140 degree F (-40 degree C to 60 degree C)
• Relay Outputs: Independent relay outputs on terminals 3 and 4
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg)
• Protection: Includes a field-replaceable fuse for circuit protection
• Compatibility: Designed for use with MEP300, MEP400, and MEP600 series programmer modules

Applications

The Fireye MEC320R is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems firing any type of fuel, including natural gas, propane, and light oil. It is commonly applied in heating and process equipment where precise burner sequence control and flame safeguard monitoring are required. Its remote reset feature makes it particularly suitable for large industrial plants or boiler rooms where central monitoring and control are prioritized. Typical installations include commercial boilers, ovens, and process heaters.
