MERT1 Fireye Amplifier

Overview

The Fireye MERT1 is a high-performance flame rectification amplifier module designed for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM burner management system. It provides reliable flame scanning capabilities by processing signals from flame rods or photocells to ensure safe and efficient burner operation. The MERT1 is a plug-in module, allowing for easy installation and integration into the MicroM chassis to monitor flame presence in commercial and industrial heating and process equipment.

Features

• Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT) of 0.8 seconds for rapid safety shutdowns.
• Plug-in modular design for quick installation, replacement, and system maintenance.
• Integrated diagnostic test jacks on the front of the module for real-time flame signal measurement (0-10 VDC).
• Smart diagnostic LED compatibility through the MicroM chassis for simplified troubleshooting.
• Backward compatibility with existing Fireye M-Series, TFM, and UVM control systems.
