MEIR1 Fireye Amplifier

Overview

The Fireye MEIR1 is a high-performance infrared flame amplifier module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM burner management system. This plug-in module provides fast and dependable flame signal processing for industrial and commercial burner applications. Engineered to detect infrared radiation, it ensures precise flame supervision to maintain safe and stable combustion control. The MEIR1 is specifically designed to be backward compatible with existing M-Series controls, allowing for easy upgrades to more advanced microprocessor-based technology.

Features

• Fast 0.8-second Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT) for rapid safety shutdowns in the event of flame loss.
• Infrared (IR) sensing technology optimized for detecting the presence of flames in high-interference environments.
• Plug-in design allows for easy installation and maintenance within the MicroM chassis.
• Integrated test jacks provide a uniform 0-10 VDC signal for real-time measurement and monitoring of flame strength.
• Built with rugged components to withstand demanding boiler room and industrial environments.
• High discrimination capabilities to distinguish the burner flame from background radiation.

Applications

The Fireye MEIR1 is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems, including boilers, furnaces, and process burners. It is ideal for applications firing gas, oil, or dual-fuels where infrared detection is preferred over ultraviolet sensing. The module is a critical component for systems requiring a fast safety response, such as high-capacity burners. It is compatible with Fireye MicroM chassis (MEC120 and MEC230 series) and is commonly employed in facilities seeking modular flexibility and advanced diagnostic capabilities for their flame safeguard controls.
