MECD4 Fireye Amplifier

Overview

The Fireye MECD4 is a cadmium sulfide amplifier module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM flame safeguard control system. It provides flame scanning capabilities specifically for cadmium sulfide scanners, converting the scanner’s signal into a usable flame signal for the control system. The module features a plug-in design for easy installation and includes integrated test jacks for monitoring signal strength during operation.

Features

• Cadmium sulfide (CdS) detection technology optimized for visible light flame sensing.
• Plug-in modular design allowing for simple field replacement or system upgrades.
• Integrated test jacks providing a uniform 0-10 VDC signal for easy measurement of flame intensity.
• Intelligent electronic design that works in conjunction with MicroM chassis and programmer modules.
• Reliable Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT) specific to the MECD4 model.
