Fireye MBCE-110FR User manual



DESCRIPTION

The MBCE-110/230FR modules provide visual indication and electrical outputs that

signal the user regarding flame presence in a combustion chamber. The module uses

Fireye flame rods to sense flame presence independently or as components in a

burner management system. Many operational characteristics are provided including:

• CE approved

• Self-contained: 110 VAC, 50/60 Hz: MBCE-110FR-1, MBCE-110FR-3

230 VAC, 50/60 Hz: MBCE-230FR-1, MBCE-230FR-3

• Flame Rod compatible

• Flame ON/OFF LED indicator

• 4-20mA permits direct reading of flame signal strength

• Uses CE approved 11-pin relay base

• Panel surface or DIN-rail mounting

• Self-check

The unit provides a cost effective, self-checking method of monitoring flames using

the ionization principle.

Check with Fireye for more details by contacting your local distributor or by check-

ing the Fireye home page at www.fireye.com.

NOTE: When the MBCE-110/230FR modules are used, additional means must be furnished to provide

those functions usually provided by flame safeguard control systems to meet local regulations (i.e.:

safe start check, valve closure, starting and running interlocks, safety timings, etc.).

WARNING: The Equipment described in this manual is capable of causing property damage,

severe injury, or death. It is the responsibility of the owner or operator to ensure that the equip-

ment described is installed, operated and commissioned in compliance with the requirements of

all national and local legislation, which may prevail. Installation, commissioning, or adjustment

of this product MUST be carried out by suitably trained engineer or personnel qualified by

training or experience.

NOTICE: When Fireye products are combined with equipment manufactured by others and/

or integrated into systems designed or manufactured by others, the Fireye warranty, as stated

in its General Terms and Conditions of Sale, pertains only to the Fireye products and not to any

other equipment or to the combined system or its overall performance.

SENSOR INSTALLATION

WARNING: Incorrect flame rod installation may result in the generation of a false flame sig-

nal, causing unburned fuel to collect in the combustion chamber. The result can be explo-

sions, injuries and property damage. Be certain that the flame rod detects only pilot and/or

main flames.

Route sensor wiring a sufficient distance from ignition and other high voltage or high current wiring

to avoid electrical interference. Interference from ground currents, nearby conductors, radio-fre-

quency emitters (wireless devices), and inverter drives can induce false flame signals. Shielded

cables can help reduce interference with the shield connected to ground at the control end only. The

wire type and its capacitance (picofarads or microfarads) to ground may cause low signal problems,

so a grounded shield may decrease the signal due to the cable's internal capacitance. Multiple sensor

leads run together without shielding may interfere or “cross talk”, so the shield or flexible armor

must be grounded to prevent this situation. For flame rod sensor runs approximately 100 feet (30

meters) or greater, use Belden P/N 8254-RG62 coax cable. To achieve the maximum wiring dis-

tance, the shield should not be grounded (keep in mind that an underground shield provides less pro-

tection against electrical interference). Depending on field connections, sensor wiring can be up to

200 feet (61 meters).

Do not ground the shield to terminal GND.

Unshielded sensor wiring must not be run in common with other wires; it must be run in separate-

conduit. Multiple flame sensor wiring must not be run together in a common conduit or wireway.Use

#14 to #18 AWG wire suitable for 90°C (194°F) and 600 volt insulation, and run each pair of leads

in its own shielded cable. Multiple shielded cables can be run in a common conduit.

Flame rods are recommended to be used on gas burners. They accumulate soot on oil burners, caus-

ing nuisance shutdowns and unsafe operating conditions.

See the burner manufacturer's literature for flame rod mounting location.

INDICATION LEDS

The CE Flameswitch contains two bi-color LEDs that are used to provide flame status and alarm

condition per the following table.

LEDs can be viewed through the cutout located on the top side of the unit.

WIRING BASE PINOUT INFORMATION

The following table shows the wiring information and the ratings. To guarantee proper operation, the

unit MUST NOT be operated above its maximum rating.

Any equipment connected to the 4-20 mA current loops shall be insulated from hazardous live parts

by protective separation (e.g. double or reinforced insulation according to DIN EN 61010, DIN EN

50178, DIN EN 60730-1 or DIN EN 60950).



4-20mA measurements can be taken from the test jack connector located at the faceplate of the unit.

Measurements can also be taken using the dedicated 4-20mA OUT & 4-20mA COM terminals

located at the wiring base.

NOTE: The 4-20mA return path is labeled “GND” on the faceplate. This is simply a local return

path for the 4-20mA current and it MUST NOT be attached or referenced to earth ground or other

forms of ground connection. Likewise, 4-20mA COM is the return path at the wiring base and

MUST NOT be attached or referenced to earth ground or other forms of ground connection.

FIGURE 3. TYPICAL APPLICATION - MBCE-110/230FR

SPECIAL CONDITIONS OF USE

1. The equipment shall be installed in compliance with the enclosure, mounting spacing and segregation requirements

of the ultimate application.

2. Line voltage and extra-low voltage wiring to and from this device is intended to be wired in the field to become

part of a Class 1 circuit only.

NOTE: BURNER GROUND
