MEP697 Fireye Programmer

Overview

The Fireye MEP697 is a high-performance, plug-in programmer module designed for use with the Fireye MicroM series Flame Safeguard Control systems. This microprocessor-based module provides automated burner sequencing, including ignition control and continuous flame monitoring for commercial and industrial heating and process equipment. The MEP697 is specifically engineered to offer enhanced safety features like early spark termination and interrupted pilot operation, ensuring reliable and safe combustion for systems firing any type of fuel.

Features

• Provides dip-switch selectable timings for purge, Trial for Ignition (TFI), and post-purge cycles.
• Features selectable recycle or non-recycle operation upon flame failure.
• Includes a 5-second pilot proving period to ensure a stable flame before main fuel ignition.
• Incorporates early spark termination and 5-second Main Trial for Ignition (MTFI) to prevent spark-generated interference.
• Supports an interrupted pilot sequence for increased operational safety.
• Equipped with a “run-check” switch for simplified system testing and troubleshooting.
• Features a modular, plug-in design for rapid installation and field replacement.

Specifications

• Supply Voltage: 120 VAC (102 min to 132 max) at 50/60 Hz.
• Power Consumption: 12 VA during operation.
• Operating Temperature: -40 degree F to 140 degree F (-40 degree C to 60 degree C).
• Shipping Weight: Approximately 3 lbs (1.4 kg).
• Timing Logic: Microprocessor-controlled with zero dependence on discrete timing components.
• Compatibility: Designed for use with Fireye MicroM MEC320 and MEC480 chassis.

Applications

The MEP697 is used in commercial and industrial burner management systems to provide safe startup and monitoring of gas or oil-fired burners. It is ideal for heating and process equipment that requires precise sequencing and advanced safety protocols, such as early spark termination. It is commonly applied in boiler rooms, furnaces, and other demanding combustion environments where reliable flame safeguard control is essential.
