MEP100 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye MEP100 is a microprocessor-based programmer module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM flame safeguard control system. It provides automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial and industrial burners firing any type of fuel. The MEP100 is a plug-in module that determines the operational characteristics of the control, specifically offering a relight function and a 10-second Pilot Trial-for-Ignition (PTFI). By utilizing microcontroller technology, it eliminates the need for discrete timing components, enhancing reliability and system diagnostics.

Features

• Relight Function: Automatically attempts to reignite the burner upon a flame failure during the “run” period, reducing system downtime.
• 10-Second PTFI: Provides a fixed 10-second window for the pilot trial-for-ignition sequence.
• Smart Diagnostics: Integrated LEDs indicate current operating status and provide coded error sequences to simplify troubleshooting during lockout.
• Plug-In Design: Allows for easy installation and replacement within a standard MicroM chassis.
• Advanced Integration: Supports optional ED510 alphanumeric displays for detailed system information and Modbus-RTU serial communications for energy management system integration.
• Backward Compatibility: Designed to be interchangeable with older Fireye TFM, UVM, and M-Series II controls when used with the appropriate MicroM chassis.

Specifications

• Model: MEP100
• Pilot Trial-for-Ignition (PTFI): 10 seconds
• Operation Type: Relight
• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC or 230 VAC (depending on chassis), 50/60 Hz
• Power Consumption: 12 VA
• Operating Temperature: -40 degree F to 140 degree F (-40 degree C to 60 degree C)
• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT): Determined by the plug-in amplifier module (typically 0.8s or 3s)
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg)

Applications

The Fireye MEP100 is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems, including boilers, furnaces, and process heaters. It is ideal for burner management applications that require automatic ignition and the added reliability of a relight sequence. It is compatible with a variety of flame detectors, including ultraviolet (UV) scanners, infrared (IR) scanners, and flame rods, depending on the selected amplifier module.
