MEP108 Fireye Programmer Module

Overview

The Fireye MEP108 is a microprocessor-based programmer module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM flame safeguard control system. It provides precise timing and burner sequencing for commercial and industrial burner management. This plug-in module determines the operational characteristics of the control, featuring a non-recycle operation on flame failure and immediate ignition capabilities. By utilizing micro-controller technology, the MEP108 eliminates the timing drift associated with traditional discrete components, ensuring highly reliable and repeatable performance in demanding combustion environments.

Features

• Microprocessor control provides accurate, drift-free timing for all burner sequences
• Plug-in design allows for easy installation into MEC120 and MEC230 chassis
• Smart diagnostic LEDs facilitate rapid troubleshooting by indicating the current operating status
• Non-recycle operation ensures the system locks out upon flame failure for enhanced safety
• Supports Modbus-RTU serial communications and the ED510 alpha-numeric display for advanced data monitoring
• Backward compatible with existing Fireye M-Series II, UVM, and TFM wiring bases for efficient system retrofits
• Smart reset function designed for multi-burner applications to simplify maintenance

Applications

The MEP108 is specifically engineered for commercial-sized heating and process burners firing gas or light oil where a pre-purge period is not required. It is an ideal flame safeguard for applications requiring immediate ignition and pilot activation. It is commonly used in industrial boiler rooms, multi-burner configurations, and automated combustion systems. The module is suitable for any application utilizing the Fireye MicroM system where non-recycle operation and a 15-second PTFI window are necessary for safe burner management.
