MEP106 Fireye Programmer Module

Overview

The Fireye MEP106 is a microprocessor-based programmer module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM flame safeguard control system. This plug-in module determines the operational characteristics of the burner management system, specifically providing a relight operation sequence. It is engineered to replace older discrete component timing functions with reliable micro-controller technology, offering enhanced diagnostics and communication capabilities for commercial and industrial combustion equipment.

Features

• Relight operation capability that attempts to restore the flame automatically upon failure.
• Fixed 12-second pre-purge timing to ensure the combustion chamber is clear before ignition.
• 10-second Pilot Trial for Ignition (PTFI) period.
• Reset lockout function specifically triggered on line power interruptions to ensure safe restarts.
• Smart diagnostic LEDs for real-time system status and troubleshooting.
• Plug-in design for simplified installation and maintenance within the MicroM chassis.
• Supports optional alpha-numeric display (ED510) and Modbus-RTU serial communications.

Specifications

• Model Number: MEP106
• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (102V min, 132V max) or 230 VAC (196V min, 253V max) at 50/60 Hz depending on chassis.
• Power Consumption: 12 VA during operation.
• Operating Temperature: -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F (-40 degrees C to 60 degrees C).
• Pre-purge Timing: 12 seconds.
• PTFI Timing: 10 seconds.
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg).
• Flame Failure Response Time: Determined by the specific amplifier module selected.

Applications

The MEP106 programmer module is used within the Fireye MicroM system to provide automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial-sized heating and process burners. It is compatible with burners firing any type of fuel, including gas and light oil. It is commonly applied in multi-burner environments where the smart reset function is beneficial and is designed to be backward compatible with existing M-Series, UVM, and TFM controls.
