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.

For a complete system, choose one of each of the following:
Chassis
UV Scanner or Flame Detector
Programmer Module
Wiring Base
Amplifier Module
WARNING: Installer must be trained and qualified. Follow the burner manufacturers
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 manufacturers 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 (200 F/93 C). 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
/
2
or
3
/
4
black 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
/
8
or
3
/
16 )
(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 6
8.
The UV-eye scanner is designed to seal off the sight pipe up to pressures of 1 PSI (.07kg/cm
2
)
when the scanner lock nut is firmly tightened. Pressures in excess of 1 PSI (.07kg/cm
2
) 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/cm
2
to +7kg/cm
2
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
