MEUV1 Fireye Amplifier

Overview

The Fireye MEUV1 is a high-performance ultraviolet (UV) amplifier module specifically engineered for use with the Fireye Modular MicroM series of flame safeguard controls. It acts as a critical interface between UV flame scanners and the burner management system, providing reliable flame signal amplification and monitoring for industrial and commercial combustion applications. The MEUV1 is designed for non-self-checking operation, making it suitable for burners that cycle at least once every 24 hours.

Features

• Ultraviolet (UV) Detection: Specifically designed to amplify signals from standard UV flame scanners.
• Fast Response Time: Features a nominal 0.8-second Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT) for rapid safety shutdowns.
• Plug-in Design: Allows for easy installation, maintenance, and replacement within the MicroM chassis.
• Test Jacks: Equipped with front-accessible test jacks that provide a uniform 0-10 VDC output for real-time flame signal measurement.
• Microprocessor Compatibility: Integrates seamlessly with MicroM programmer modules to define operational characteristics like purge timing and ignition sequences.
