MEP101 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye MEP101 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 burner applications. This plug-in module determines the operational characteristics of the control system, specifically featuring a relight function that allows for an automatic restart attempt upon flame failure.

Features

• Plug-in design allows for easy installation and replacement within the MicroM chassis.
• Relight function automatically attempts to restart the burner if a flame failure occurs during the run cycle.
• Microcontroller technology eliminates reliance on discrete components for timing functions, ensuring high precision.
• Smart diagnostic LEDs provide real-time status updates and simplified troubleshooting through coded sequences.
• Supports optional alpha-numeric display (ED510) and serial communications via Modbus-RTU for remote monitoring.
• Smart reset function facilitates management in multi-burner applications.

Specifications

• Model Number: MEP101
• System Compatibility: Fireye Modular MicroM series (MEC120 / MEC230 chassis)
• Function: Relight operation; allows flame signal until 60 seconds after the interlock circuit closes.
• Timing: Fixed timings for burner sequencing determined by internal micro-controller.
• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT): Determined by the associated plug-in amplifier module.
• Operating Temperature: Standard industrial range for combustion environments.
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 0.30 lbs.

Applications

The MEP101 is used in commercial and industrial combustion systems to manage burner sequencing for gas or oil-fired equipment. It is ideal for applications where minimizing downtime is critical, as its relight feature helps avoid unnecessary lockouts from momentary flame interruptions. Common environments include boilers, furnaces, ovens, and other process heating equipment requiring dependable flame safeguard protection.
