DESCRIPTION
The MBCE-110/230UV modules provide visual indication and electrical outputs that
signal the user regarding flame presence in a combustion chamber. The module uses
Fireye UV scanners to sense flame presence independently or as components in a
burner management system. Many operational characteristics are provided including:
CE certified
Self-contained: 110 VAC, 50/60 Hz: MBCE-110UV-1, MBCE-110UV-2
UV scanner compatible*
Flame ON/OFF LED indicator
4-20mA output permits direct reading of flame signal strength
Uses CE certified 11-pin relay base
Panel surface or DIN-rail mounting
Flame pull-in threshold adjustment
The module provides a cost effective method of monitoring flames using UV sensing.
The MBCE-UV is intended for non-permanent operation (burner must be recycled at
least once every 24 hours). The MBCE-UV is ideally suited for flame detection in nat-
ural gas applications; however, it can be used for flame detection in propane and light
fuel oil applications.
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-110/230UV 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.).
The MBCE-UV shall be powered continuously from a separate source other than the Burner control
per EN 298. * see ordering information

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

    Position the UV1AL, UV5, or UV90L scanner within 30 inches of the flame to be monitored. Select a scanner location that remains within the ambient temperature limits of the UV Scanner. If cooling is required, use an insulating coupling (Fireye #35-69 for UV1AL to reduce con- ducted heat).

  • Page 6: Threshold Adjustment

     Route scanner 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-frequency emitters (wireless devices), and inverter drives can induce false flame signals. In some applications shielded cables can help reduce interference with the shield connected to ground at the control end only.
