MEP149 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye MEP149 is a microprocessor-based programmer module designed for use with the Fireye MicroM modular burner management system. It provides precise, automatic ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial and industrial burners. As a non-recycle module, it ensures that the control enters a safety lockout following a flame failure, requiring a manual reset to prevent hazardous fuel accumulation. Its plug-in design allows for easy installation and interchangeability within the MicroM series chassis.

Features

• Microprocessor-based circuitry for high accuracy and elimination of timing drift.
• Non-recycle operation on flame failure for enhanced safety.
• LED status indicators to provide real-time diagnostic information on the burner sequence.
• Plug-in design compatible with MEC120 and MEC230 chassis for simplified maintenance.
• Prove air flow at start feature to ensure the blower is operating before the cycle begins.

Specifications

• Pre-purge Timing: 30 seconds
• Pilot Trial for Ignition (PTFI): 5 seconds
• Pilot Stabilization Period: 8 seconds
• Post-purge Timing: 90 seconds
• Operating Voltage: 120 VAC or 230 VAC (depending on chassis)
• Operating Temperature: -40 degrees Fahrenheit to 140 degrees Fahrenheit
• Flame Failure Response Time: 4 seconds (standard)
• Shipping Weight: 0.31 lbs

Applications

The MEP149 is used in a wide range of industrial and commercial combustion systems, including steam and hot water boilers, air heaters, and process ovens. It is specifically intended for burners that require a fixed pre-purge and post-purge cycle and is often used in systems that cycle less than once every 24 hours. It is compatible with various flame scanners, including ultraviolet, infrared, and flame rods, depending on the amplifier used in the MicroM system.
