MED5 Fireye Board

Overview

The Fireye MED5 is an optional plug-in daughter board designed for use with the MicroM series of flame safeguard burner management controls. This module expands the capabilities of a standard MicroM system by providing an integrated local reset switch, a dedicated output for an alpha-numeric display, and serial communications. It is engineered to simplify troubleshooting and enhance system monitoring in industrial and commercial combustion applications.

Features

• Integrated local reset switch for direct on-site manual reset of system lockouts.
• Dedicated display output for connection to Fireye ED510 alpha-numeric display modules.
• RS-485 serial communications interface for integration into building automation or burner management networks.
• Plug-in design allows for easy field installation and upgrades to existing MicroM chassis.
• Provides real-time system status and diagnostic data when used with a display or communication interface.

Specifications

• Model Number: MED5
• Compatibility: Fireye MicroM Series (MEC120, MEC230, MEC320, MEC480 chassis)
• Communication Protocol: Modbus (via RS-485)
• Input Voltage: Powered via the MicroM chassis (typically 120V or 230V AC depending on chassis model)
