I have one of the older fireye units (with the MP230H Programmer Module, with Selectable Timing Operations, and the MAUV1). Using the UV1A scanner (shutterless scanner)...
What is happening is that when the burner shuts off (ops control goes dead) the flame light stays on for 8-12seconds. I've verified that the flame is lingering (dissipating)...
What's happening is that the majority of the time I'm receiving an alarm (due to the lingering flame).
I spoke to a burner tech who said that the fireyes have a 10 second timer after they lose ops control, and that after that 10 seconds any flame seen results in an alarm.
But today I spoke with a Fireye tech who said that the timer is actually 60 seconds.. that either my chassis, timing module, or amp card is bad. I've swapped the amp card, and it's fine...
But... I'm stumped about this timing issue. The burner tech was adament that it was only 10 seconds, yet the fireye tech was certain it was 60.
Does anyone here have any experience with this and can you verify which time is correct?
Thanks,
Russ
