WARNING: Selection of this control for a particular application should be made by a com-
petent professional, licensed by a state or other government agency. Inappropriate application
of this product could result in an unsafe condition hazardous to life and property.
DESCRIPTION
Fireye® Modular M-Series II Flame Safeguard Controls are compact, modular burner management
systems for intermittent operation. They are designed to provide automatic ignition and continuous
flame monitoring for commercial sizes of heating and process burners that use gas and/or light oil
fuels.
Flame monitoring is accomplished by miniature UV scanners or Flame Rod detectors and plug-in
amplifier and programmer modules which connect into a standard chassis and wiring base. Inter-
changeable programmer and amplifier modules allow for complete versatility in selection of control
function, timing, and flame scanning means. Functions such as re-ignition or non-recycle are deter-
mined by the programmer module. Type of flame scanner (UV or Flame Rod) and Flame Failure
Response Time (F.F.R.T.) are determined by the amplifier module.
LED indicator lights on all programmer modules indicate the operating status of the control.
In the event of ignition failure, or following a safety shutdown, the unit locks out, activating an
alarm circuit. Manual reset is required. Remote reset (via remote pushbutton or power interruption)
is available on the MC120RE and MC230R chassis. A detailed description of the various program-
mer modules is found later in this document. Test jacks are provided to permit flame signal measure-
ment during operation.
Modular M-Series II controls incorporate a safety checking circuit that is operative on each start. If
flame (real or simulated) is detected prior to a start or during the purge, the fuel valves will not be
energized, and the unit will lock out.
The Modular M-Series II controls use the same wiring base as the Fireye UVM and TFM Controls
and are designed to be interchangeable with most models without rewiring. See INSTALLATION
OF CONTROL, SCANNERS, AND FLAME DETECTORS for temperature and wiring require-
ments.

— Programmer Module — Wiring Base
— Amplifier Module
WARNING: Installer must be trained and qualified. Follow the burner manufacturer’s
instructions, if supplied. Otherwise, proceed as follows:
INSTALLATION OF CONTROL, SCANNERS, AND FLAME DETECTORS
Wiring Base
Mount the wiring base on the burner or on a panel. The location should be free from excessive vibra-
tion and within the specified ambient temperature rating. The base may be mounted in any angular
position.
All wiring should comply with applicable electrical codes, regulations, and local ordinances. Use
moisture resistant wire suitable for at least 90 degrees C. Circuit recommendations are found on
Pages 14 through 15. Consult the factory for assistance with non-standard applications.
WARNING: Controls require safety limits utilizing isolated mechanical contacts. Solid state
limit switches are not acceptable and should not be used due to their high leakage currents.
Installing the Programmer and Amplifier Modules
WARNING: Remove power from the control before proceeding.

5
£
Select the appropriate programmer and amplifier modules for your application. Remove the dust
cover from the chassis. Insert the amplifier module into the slot in the center of the chassis and gen-
tly push the module into position. Insert the programmer module into the slot at the right side of the
chassis and gently push the module into position.
WARNING: Turn off the power when installing or removing the control.
INSTALLATION - UV SCANNERS
Where possible, obtain the burner manufacturer’s instructions for mounting the scanner. This infor-
mation is available for most standard burners. The scanner mounting should comply with the follow-
ing general instructions:
1. Locate the scanner within 30 inches (76cm) of the flame to be monitored, closer if possible.
2. Select a scanner location that will remain within the ambient temperature limits of the UV-eye
scanner (200qF/93qC). If cooling is required, use (a) an insulating coupling (Fireye part #35-69)
to reduce conducted heat; (b) a window coupling (Fireye part #60-1257) to seal off furnace or
burner pressure; (c) cooling air to reduce the scanner sight pipe temperature.
3. Mount rigidly a short length (10-20cm) of 1/2sor 3/4sblack iron pipe in a position that permits
an unobstructed view of the pilot and/or main flame.
CAUTION: The scanner must not sight the ignition spark directly, or any part of the burner
that can reflect the spark back to the scanner.
4. The maximum UV signal from a flame is found in the first one-third of the visible flame taken
from the point where the flame begins. The scanner sight pipe should be aimed at this area.
5. A correct scanner application will not see a pilot flame that is too small to ignite the main flame
reliably. Note particularly the test for minimum pilot that is described on Page 12.
6. On installations having negative pressure combustion chambers, a small hole (1/8sor 3/16s)(3 or
5mm)drilled in the sight pipe will assist in keeping the pipe clean and free from smoke.
7. Two scanners may be installed on one burner if it is necessary to view two areas to obtain reli-
able detection of the flame. They should be wired in parallel.
AMPLIFIER PROGRAMMER

£
8. The UV-eye scanner is designed to seal off the sight pipe up to pressures of 1 PSI (.07kg/cm2)
when the scanner lock nut is firmly tightened. Pressures in excess of 1 PSI (.07kg/cm2) should
be blocked from the scanner. A quartz lens coupling (Part #60-1290) or quartz window coupling
(Part #60-1257) may be used. Each is rated from -3 to +100 PSI max. (-.2kg/cm2to +7kg/cm2
max.).
9. To increase scanner sensitivity, a quartz lens coupling (Part #60-1290) may be used. The quartz
lens permits location of the UV-eye twice the distance noted in Item 1. Use 1/2sx11/2snipple
between UV1A scanner and union. Use 3/8sclose nipple and 1/2sby 3/8sbushing on UV-2 appli-
cations.
General Requirements
1. As close as possible — 30s(76cm)or closer.
2. As cool as possible — Not over 200qF/93qC.
3. Avoid sighting the spark — Resight scanner, shield between spark and scanner, or orifice to
reduce reflected signal from spark.
4. Must see pilot and/or main flame — Scanner view must be unobstructed,
5. Minimum pilot test — See Page 12.
Typical Scanner Installations
Wiring of UV Scanners
The UV1A scanner is supplied with 3' (90cm) or 6' (180cm) of flexible cable. The UV-2 scanner is
supplied with 3' (90cm) of flexible cable. If it is necessary to extend the scanner leads, the following
instructions apply:
1. Scanners without armored cable must be wired using metal cable or rigid conduit.
2. High voltage wiring must not be installed in the same conduit with flame detector wiring.
3. Selection of Scanner Wire:
a. Use #14, 16, or 18 gauge wire with 90qC, 600 volt insulation for up to 200 feet (60M)of
distance. (approx. 20% signal loss at 100 feet [30M], 40% signal loss at 200 feet [60M]).
b. Asbestos insulated wire should not be used.
c. Multi-conductor cable is not recommended without prior factory approval.
d. High voltage ignition wiring should not be installed in the same conduit with flame detector
wires.
The maximum UV signal
from a flame is found in
the first one-third of the
visible flame taken from
the point where the flame
begins. The scanner sight
pipe should be aimed at
this area.

4. Installation of Extended Scanner Wiring:
— For extended scanner wiring up to 500 feet (150M), and for shorter lengths to reduce signal
loss, use a shielded wire (Belden 8254-RG62 coaxial cable, or equal) for each scanner wire
of UV1, UV2. The ends of the shielding must be taped and not grounded.
5. Multiple Scanner Installations:
— The wiring from multiple UV scanners may be installed in a common metallic conduit.
— Multi-conductor cable is not recommended without prior factory approval.
INSTALLATION - 69ND1 FLAME ROD
The 69ND1 flame rod proves a gas pilot flame and/or main gas flame. It is a spark plug type unit
consisting of 1/2sNPT mount, a KANTHAL flame rod, a glazed porcelain insulating rod holder and
a spark plug connector for making electrical connections. The 69ND1 is available in 12s(304.8mm),
18s(457.2mm) or 24s(609.2mm) lengths.
The flame rod may be located to monitor only the gas pilot flame or both the gas pilot and main gas
flames. It is mounted on a 1/2sNPT coupling.
The following instructions should be observed:
1. Keep flame rod as short as possible.
2. Keep flame rod at least 1/2s(12.7mm)from any refractory.
3. Flame rod should enter the pilot flame from the side so as to safely prove an adequate pilot
flame under all draft conditions.
4. If the flame is nonluminous (air and gas mixed before burning), the electrode tip should extend
at least 1/2s(12.7mm)into the flame, but not more than halfway through
5. If the flame is partly luminous, the electrode tip should extend only to the edge of the flame. It is
not necessary to maintain absolutely uninterrupted contact with the flame.
6. It is preferable to angle the rod downward to minimize the effect of sagging and to prevent it
from coming in contact with any object.
7. An adequate grounding surface for the flame must be provided. The grounding surface in actual
contact with the flame must be at least four times greater than the area of the portion of the
flame rod in contact with the flame. It is essential to adjust the flame rod and ground area ratio
to provide a minimum signal reading of 6VDC.
Note: Interference from the ignition spark can alter the true signal reading by adding to, or sub-
tracting from it. This trend sometimes may be reversed by interchanging the primary wires (line volt-
age) to the ignition transformer. This interference can also be reduced by the addition of grounded
shielding between the flame rod and ignition spark.

8. Proven types of flame grounding adapters, as shown below, may be used to provide adequate
grounding surface. High temperature stainless steel should be used to minimize the effect of
metal oxidation. This assembly may be welded directly over the pilot or main burner nozzle
WIRING OF FLAME RODS
For proper operation of flame rectification systems (flame rods), it is necessary to maintain at least
20 megohms insulating resistance in the flame rectification circuit.
1. The scanner should be wired using metal cable or rigid conduit.
2. High voltage wiring must not be installed in the same conduit with scanner wiring.
Selection of Scanner Wire
1. Use #14, 16, or 18 gauge wire with 90qC, 600 volt insulation for up to 100 feet (30M) distance.
2. The type of insulation used with flame rectification wiring is important, since it must protect
against current leakage resistance to ground. Use Belden 8254-RG62 Coaxial Cable (or equal)
for runs greater than 100 feet (30M). Maximum wiring run not to exceed 400 feet (120M).
MAINTENANCE
Type UV1, UV2, UV8A, and 45UV3 Ultraviolet Scanners
The viewing area of the scanner must be kept clean. Even a small amount of contamination will
reduce the flame signal reaching the detector by a measurable amount. Wipe the viewing area rou-
tinely using a soft cloth dampened with concentrated detergent.
Type 69ND1 Flame Rod
The flame rod and its insulator should be kept clean by washing routinely with soap and water. Rods
should be routinely replaced as they oxidize.
Flame Signal Strength
Routine observation of the flame signal strength will forewarn any deterioration in the capability of
the flame detector or its application.
Periodic Safety Check
It is recommended that a procedure be established to test the complete flame safeguard system at
least once a month. This test should verify the proper operation of all limit switches and safety inter-
locks as well as flame failure protection and fuel safety shutoff valve tightness.
Rotation
It is recommended that control and scanner units purchased as spares be installed periodically.

MC120E REMOTE RESET CHASSIS
The MC120RE and MC230R Chassis provides remote reset capabilities in the event of a lockout
condition. The remote reset chassis can be reset in any of the following ways:
1. Depress and release the reset button built into the chassis. This reset button will always reset the
control.
2. To reset the control via a remote pushbutton. Wire a momentary dry contact pushbutton into the
two (2) terminals located on the chassis (on the same PC board as the built-in reset switch) and
depress the button for one (1) second. The maximum distance the remote reset switch can be
wired from the control is 1,000 feet (300M).
CAUTION: Remote reset is recommended only on a control solely for proved ignition pro-
gramming (pilot ignited burner) or a control for use only with appliances in which unburned
fuel cannot accumulate and that is intended for installation in inaccessible locations such as
open-flame, ceiling-suspended gas heaters.
LED INDICATOR LIGHTS
The Programmer Modules have 5 LED lights to indicate the operating status of the control. The
function of these lights are:
Operating Control: This LED is energized whenever the burner control switch (Terminal #7) along
with the various limit switches, operating controls and fuel interlocks are closed.
Air Flow: This LED is energized whenever the air flow switch is closed between Terminals #8 and
#6, and power is on Terminal #8.
PTFI: This LED is energized only during the Ignition Safety Time.
Flame On: This LED is energized whenever a flame signal is detected by the UV scanner or Flame
detector.
Alarm: this LED is energized whenever a safety lockout occurs. (See APPLICATION AND FUNC-
TION section).
APPLICATION AND FUNCTION - MP100, MP100E
The MP100 and MP100E Programmer Modules are designed as a replacement for the Fireye M1
Series “re-ignition” controls. It provides ignition and Flame Safeguard for heating or process light
oil or gas fired burners. The Amplifier Module should be selected based on the type of flame scanner
(UV scanner, or flame rod), and the required Flame Failure Response Time (F.F.R.T.). See ORDER-
ING INFORMATION on Page 4 for the appropriate part numbers.
Pilot Ignited Burners
The typical wiring arrangement illustrated on Page 16 for pilot ignited burners provides the follow-
ing function:
1. With power applied, and the limit-operating control circuit closed (Operating Control LED
lit), the burner motor circuit is energized. The air flow switch circuit closes (Air Flow LED lit).
2. Following a short-time delay (4 to 6 sec.), KL-1 closes, energizing Terminal 3 which powers the
pilot gas valve, and Terminal 4 which powers the spark ignition. A 10 sec. trial for ignition is
initiated (PTFI LED lit).
3. When pilot flame is detected (Flame LED lit), KF-1 closes, energizing Terminal 5 which pow-
ers the main fuel valve, and KF-2 opens, de-energizing Terminal 4 which shuts off the spark
ignition.
4. When the operating control opens its circuit, or if a power failure occurs, the control is de-ener-
gized. When power is restored, the control will restart.

10
£
NOTE: Controls with UV amplifiers (MAUV3 and MAUV1T) are always powered via Terminal #1.
5. In the event the pilot flame is not detected by the end of the trial for ignition period, the pilot gas
valve and spark ignition are de-energized. A safety lockout occurs which de-energizes the
burner motor and energizes the lockout alarm circuit (Alarm LED lit) approximately 10 to 30
seconds after the safety shutdown occurs.
6. In the event of a flame failure during a firing period, the main fuel valve is de-energized and the
spark ignition re-energized. A 10 sec. trial for ignition is initiated (PTFI LED lit). If flame is
detected (Flame LED lit) during the trial for ignition period, the main fuel valve is re-energized
and the spark ignition de-energized. If flame is not detected during the trial for ignition period,
the pilot gas valve and spark ignition are de-energized. A safety lockout occurs which de-ener-
gizes the burner motor and energizes the lockout alarm circuit (Alarm LED lit) approximately
10 seconds after the safety shutdown occurs.
7. Manual reset is required following any safety lockout.
NOTE: Wait 10 seconds after lockout before resetting the control.
Direct Spark Ignited Burners
The typical wiring arrangement illustrated on Page 16 for direct spark ignited burners provides the
following function:
1. With power applied, and the limit-operating control circuit closed (Operating Control LED lit),
the burner motor circuit is energized. The air flow switch circuit closes (Air Flow LED lit).
2. Following a short-time delay (4-6 sec.) KL-1 closes, energizing Terminal 3 which powers the
primary main fuel valve and Terminal 4 which powers the spark ignition. A 10 sec. Trial for
ignition is initiated (PTFI LED lit).
3. When main flame is detected (Flame LED lit), KF-1 closes, energizing Terminal 5 which pow-
ers the secondary main fuel valve (if used), KF-2 opens de-energizing Terminal 4 which shuts
off the spark ignition.
4. When the operating control opens or if a power failure occurs, the control is de-energized. When
power is restored, the control will restart.
NOTE: Controls with UV amplifiers (MAUV3 and MAUV1T) are always powered via Terminal #1.
5. In the event that main flame is not detected by the end of the trial for ignition period, the primary
main fuel valve and the spark ignition are de-energized. A safety lockout occurs which de-ener-
gizes the burner motor and energizes the lockout alarm circuit (Alarm LED lit) approximately
10 to 30 seconds after the safety shutdown occurs.
6. In the event of a flame failure during a firing period, the secondary main fuel valve (if used) is
de-energized and the spark ignition is re-energized. A 10 sec. trial for ignition is initiated (PTFI
LED lit). If flame is detected (Flame LED lit), the secondary main fuel valve (if used) is re-
energized and the spark ignition de-energized. If flame is not detected during the trial for igni-
tion period, the primary main fuel valve and the spark ignition are de-energized. A safety lock-
out occurs, which de-energizes the burner motor and energizes the lockout alarm circuit (Alarm
LED lit) approximately 10 to 30 seconds after the safety shutdown occurs.
7. Manual reset is required following and safety lockout.
NOTE: Wait 10 seconds after lockout before resetting the control.
APPLICATION AND FUNCTION - MP102 and MP102E
The MP102 and MP102E operates in the same manner as the MP100 and MP100E with the follow-
ing exceptions. The standing pilot and re-ignition features have been eliminated. The ignition safety
time has been changed to 5 seconds and the control will lockout on flame failure.

INSTALLATION TESTING
Use of Test Meter (All Controls)
Testing the Fireye Modular M-Series II Controls requires the use of a test AC-DC multimeter, with a
1,000 ohm/volt DC rating or greater, or a digital meter with 500K input impedance or greater.
With the test meter on the DC scale, and the test meter leads inserted into the test jacks on the ampli-
fier module, a steady DC voltage reading of 4.0 to 6.0 volts (for UV amplifiers) and 6 to 18 volts
(for flame rectification amplifiers) should be obtained when the controls are detecting flame, and
zero volts when no flame is present.
With the test meter on the AC scale, line and load voltages may be measured at the identified test
points on the chassis.
On the Modular M-Series II controls utilizing a flame rectification amplifier, a micro-ammeter may
be connected in series with the wire to Terminal S2. Normal flame will produce a meter reading
between 4 and 10 micro-amps.
Flame Signal Testing (All Controls)
1. Manually shut off the main fuel valve for a pilot ignited burner, or the secondary fuel valve for a
direct spark ignited burner.
2. Set the test meter on the DC scale and insert the test leads into the test jacks on the amplifier
module. (If the meter reads backwards, reverse the meter leads). Red - Plus, Black - Negative.
3. Initiate a normal startup.
4. When flame is established, the test reading should be normal: a steady DC voltage reading of
4.0 to 6.0 volts (for UV amplifiers) and 6 to 18 volts (for flame rectification amplifiers).
5. Inadequate flame signal may be improved by:
a. Assuring that the flame detector and wiring installations have followed the instructions on
Pages 5 through 9.
b Assuring that the flame detector is clean and within the ambient temperature limits.
c Assuring that the flame is sufficiently large to detect.
d Assuring that the flame quality (fuel to air ratio, combustion air velocity) is satisfactory.
e Trying a shorter sight pipe, or increasing the sight pipe diameter.
WARNING: Before making a pilot flame test, manually shut off the fuel supply to the main
burner.
Normal Pilot Flame Test
1. Turn power on and initiate a normal startup.
2. Observe the pilot flame signal on the test meter. If the average flame is below normal, a steady
DC voltage reading of 4.0 to 6.0 volts (for UV amplifiers) and 6 to 18 volts (for flame rectifica-
tion amplifiers), re-adjust the pilot flame or realign the flame detector.
WARNING: DO NOT TOUCH a flame rectification rod with power applied
.
3. During the pilot flame test and adjustment period, if flame is not detected within 10 seconds, the
control will lock out. To reestablish the pilot flame trial for ignition (P.T.F.I.), manual reset of
the lockout switch is required, and a complete repurge is accomplished.
4. When UV detection is used, a test is required to verify that UV radiation from the ignition spark
is not being detected. To accomplish this, manually shut off both pilot and main fuels. Initiate a
normal startup, observe the test meter which should read no more than 1/2 volt DC. If more than
1/2 volt DC is observed, realign the UV scanner, and/or shield the spark from the scanner’s
view.

12
£
WARNING: The minimum pilot test must be accomplished by a trained and qualified burner
technician.
Minimum Pilot Test
This test insures that the flame detector will not sense a pilot flame too small to light the main flame
reliably. It must be made on every new installation as well as following the repositioning of the flame
detector. This procedure should not be used on a direct spark ignited burner.
1. Manually shut off the fuel to the main burner.
2. Connect a test meter to the test jacks on the Amplifier Module.
3. Initiate a normal startup.
4. Reduce the fuel to the pilot until the DC voltmeter reads 3.5 volts for UV scanners. See WARN-
ING below. This is the minimum pilot. For flame rectification the flame signal for minimum
pilot varies depending on the application. See WARNING below.
5. Slowly turn on the main fuel and insure that the main flame lights off promptly and normally.
WARNING: If light off is delayed, shut off the power to the installation. Realign the flame
detector so that pilot flame detection requires a larger pilot flame. Repeat this test until the
main flame lights reliably with minimum pilot.
6. After the minimum pilot test is completed satisfactorily, increase the pilot flame to normal size,
and observe that the main flame is properly established during a normal cycle.
Flame Failure Test
1. Temporarily connect spark ignition and pilot valve to Terminal #3.
2. Initiate a normal startup.
3. Manually shut off all fuel and observe the loss of flame signal on the test meter.
4. If flame signal does not reduce to zero within the flame failure response time of the control
(F.F.R.T. determined by selection of amplifier), verify that the UV flame detector is not actuated
by the spark. If spark is detected, a metallic shield or relocation of the UV detector sight pipe is
required.
5. IMPORTANT: When the test is completed, reconnect the spark ignition to Terminal #4.
Recommendation
Periodic Safety Check: Test the complete flame safeguard system at least once a month. This test
should verify flame failure safety shutdown and positive fuel cutoff when the fuel valve is de-ener-
gized.
Replaceable Fuse
The programmer modules are designed with a field replaceable fuse. The fuse is located on the
printed circuit board near the connectors. In the event the fuse becomes shorted, the Operating Con-
trol, Air Flow, and PTFI LED’s will light. However, KL or KF (see WIRING ARRANGEMENTS -
later in this document) will not be energized and the control will lock out. The fuse will blow as a
result of an overload condition on Terminals 3, 4, or 5. To replace the fuse, remove the fuse (using a
small screwdriver) and install a Fireye replacement fuse (P/N 23-176) or equivalent 2AG, 8 amp fuse
Type Fast-Acting (e.g. Little Fuse #225008).
Order Fireye replacement fuse P/N 23-183 or equivalent (3.5 amp fuse 2AG Type SLO-BLO) for
programmer modules used with the MC230 and MC230R chassis (e.g. Little Fuse #22903.5).

MAINTENANCE
UV-eye scanner: The UV tube must be kept clean. Use a clean cloth with detergent as often as oper-
ating conditions require. Remove any residual detergent.
ROTATION
It is recommended that units purchased as spares be rotated periodically, so that each unit will be
placed in operation every 90 days.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS
1. Verify that there is a solid earth ground wire brought to the panel that the Fireye base is mounted to.
2. In a rectification system, verify that terminal S1 is solidly earth grounded, and confirm that the flame rod is aligned so it
doesn’t droop near the ignition spark.
3. Confirm that there is no measurable voltage present between the ground screw and terminal 2 (neutral).
4. Confirm that the 120 volt AC supply has its neutral leg earth grounded at the supply, (floating isolation transformers can
cause problems).
5. Confirm that the ignition transformer’s secondary winding is solidly earth grounded. The grounding method is usually
through the transformer case. Dirt, paint, loose mounting hardware, etc., can all be factors.
6. There may be a problem with transients in the main power supply. If you think this may be the problem, you may want to
run a ground wire directly from the pilot assembly back to the electrical panel where the Fireye control is mounted.
