MEP130 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye MEP130 is a microprocessor-based programmer module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM flame safeguard control system. It provides essential burner management functions, including automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial-sized heating and process equipment. The MEP130 is specifically engineered for relight operation, meaning it will attempt to re-establish the flame automatically if a flame failure occurs during the run cycle. Its modular, plug-in design allows for simple installation and easy replacement within a MicroM chassis.

Features

• Relight operation capability that automatically initiates a trial-for-ignition upon flame failure.
• Plug-in design ensures quick installation and maintenance without extensive rewiring.
• Microprocessor-based technology provides precise timing and reliable sequencing.
• Backward compatibility with existing Fireye wiring bases, including UVM, TFM, and M-Series II.
• Smart diagnostic LED interface (when used with compatible chassis) for simplified troubleshooting.

Specifications

• Model Number: MEP130
• Primary Function: Relight operation
• Pilot Trial for Ignition (PTFI): 30 seconds
• Operating Voltage: 120 VAC (with MEC120) or 230 VAC (with MEC230)
• Operating Temperature: -40 degrees F to 140 degrees F (-40 degrees C to 60 degrees C)
• Power Consumption: 12 VA (Operating)
• Agency Approvals: No agency approvals (Not FM approved)
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (for complete system)

Applications

The MEP130 is utilized in commercial and industrial combustion systems where a relight sequence is preferred over an immediate safety lockout upon flame failure. It is compatible with Fireye MicroM MEC120 and MEC230 chassis and is suitable for burners firing gas or light oil. Common applications include commercial boilers, water heaters, and process furnaces that require a compact and modular burner management solution.
