Description
The Fireye MC120 is the foundational chassis for the modular M-Series II flame safeguard control system. It is not a standalone controller but rather the housing that provides the structural and electrical connections for the system's brain and senses. The MC120 is designed to accept various interchangeable programmer and amplifier modules, allowing for complete system customization. This modularity means that the specific functions of the burner management system, such as purge timing, pilot trial for ignition (PTFI), and flame failure response time (FFRT), are determined by the specific plug-in modules you select, not the chassis itself.
Built for commercial and industrial gas or light oil burners, the MC120 provides a reliable and compact base for building a complete safety control system. It operates on a standard 120 VAC, 50/60 Hz supply and is designed for easy panel installation. The chassis facilitates the connection of essential burner components, including ignition transformers, fuel valves, and motors, and provides terminal connections for flame scanners. By simply swapping out the programmer and amplifier modules, the MC120 can be adapted to a wide array of applications, from standard on/off burners to more complex systems, making it a versatile and long-serving component in the combustion control industry.
Frequently Asked Questions
How is the Flame Failure Response Time (FFRT) determined when using an MC120 chassis?
The FFRT is not a function of the MC120 chassis itself. It is determined exclusively by the amplifier module that is plugged into the chassis. For example, using a Fireye MAUV1 amplifier provides a selectable 2 or 4-second FFRT, while an MAUV1T amplifier provides a faster 0.8-second FFRT. The chassis simply provides the platform for these modules to operate.
What is the electrical load rating for the main fuel valve terminal on the MC120?
Terminal 5, which controls the Main Fuel Valve(s), has a maximum rating of 125 VA pilot duty for a solenoid valve. If used with a motorized valve, it can handle 400 VA for opening and 250 VA for holding. It's critical to ensure the connected valve's power consumption does not exceed these ratings to prevent damage to the control's output relays.
Is the MC120 chassis backward compatible with older Fireye control series?
Yes, one of the key design features of the M-Series II and the MC120 chassis is its backward compatibility with the older M-Series TFM and UVM controls. This allows for a streamlined upgrade path for legacy systems, as the MC120 can often replace the older chassis directly without requiring extensive rewiring of the burner's subbase or terminal connections.
