The Fireye EDC2 Amplifier is a dual-scanner flame signal processor designed for use with Fireye EP178 and EP378 programmer modules. It is engineered to monitor both pilot and main flames using two InSight or D-Series flame scanners—specifically models 85UVF4-1QDWR and 85IRF4-1QDWR—connected via Fireye 59-497-020WR cables. The EDC2 automatically switches between scanners at the appropriate sequence stage, enabling precise control and supervision of multi-stage burner operations.
