MEP290 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye MEP290 is a microprocessor-based plug-in programmer module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM flame safeguard control system. It provides automatic burner sequencing, including ignition and continuous flame monitoring for commercial and industrial gas or oil-fired burners. A primary function of the MEP290 is to determine the operational characteristics of the MicroM control, featuring a specific capability for an adjustable post-purge cycle.

Features

• Plug-in design allows for easy installation and replacement within the MicroM chassis.
• Microcontroller technology eliminates the need for discrete timing components, improving reliability.
• Selectable recycle or non-recycle operation via internal dipswitches.
• Field-adjustable post-purge timer ranging from 0 to 90 seconds to ensure hazardous gases are cleared after shutdown.
• Integrated smart diagnostic LEDs indicate operating status and provide specific lockout codes for troubleshooting.
• Supports additional enhancements such as remote reset and serial communication via Modbus when used with optional expansion boards.

Specifications

• Model Number: MEP290
• Operating Voltage: 120 VAC (102-132V) or 230 VAC (196-253V) at 50/60 Hz, depending on the chassis.
• Post-Purge Timing: 0 to 90 seconds (selectable).
• Operating Temperature: -40 degree F to 140 degree F (-40 degree C to 60 degree C).
• Power Consumption: 12 VA.
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 0.4 lbs (0.18 kg).
