MEP561 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye MEP561 is a plug-in programmer module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM flame safeguard control system. It provides the essential logic and timing for automatic burner sequencing, including purge, ignition, and continuous flame monitoring. As part of the MicroM platform, the MEP561 allows for a modular approach to flame safety, where the specific operational characteristics of the control system are determined by the programmer module selected. This model is specifically noted for operating without an 8-second pilot stabilization period.

Features

• Plug-in design allows for easy installation and replacement within the MicroM chassis.
• Internal dipswitches enable user-selectable settings for purge timing, PTFI timing, air flow proven open at start, and post purge.
• Selectable recycle or non-recycle operation modes to determine system behavior upon flame failure.
• Integrated LED indicator lights provide real-time operating status and diagnostic codes for troubleshooting.
• Check/run switch facilitates testing of the pilot flame size and stabilization without proceeding to the main flame.
• Built-in test jacks on the associated amplifier module allow for direct flame signal measurement.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (nominal) or 230 VAC depending on the chassis used.
• Pilot Trial for Ignition (PTFI): Selectable (typically 5 or 10 seconds).
• Main Trial for Ignition (MTFI): 10 seconds.
• Purge Timing: Selectable (7, 10, 15, or 30 seconds).
• Post Purge: Selectable (disabled or 15 seconds).
• Operating Temperature: -40 degree F to 140 degree F (-40 degree C to 60 degree C).
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg) for the complete control assembly.
• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT): Determined by the selection of the amplifier module.

Applications

The MEP561 is ideal for commercial and industrial burner management systems requiring dependable flame safeguard protection. It is compatible with both gas and oil-fired burner applications. Because it lacks the 8-second pilot stabilization period, it is often chosen for applications where faster, more streamlined burner sequencing is preferred. It is designed to work with MEC120, MEC230, MEC320, and MEC480 MicroM chassis.
