System compatibilityPPC4000 belongs to Fireye Nexus PPC4000 combustion control family. Must pair with Fireye BurnerLogix flame safeguard controllers. Compatible with FX/NXC servo actuators, PXMS pressure transmitters, PSA pressure switches and flame scanners. Suitable for gas, oil and dual-fuel industrial boilers and process furnaces. Widely used for combustion system upgrade and spare replacement.

FunctionPPC4000 is parallel positioning fuel-air ratio controller manufactured by Fireye. It independently controls fuel valve and air damper servomotors. 24-point programmable curve optimizes air-fuel ratio across full firing range to improve combustion efficiency and reduce emissions. Dual PID loops stabilize boiler pressure or temperature. SD card supports parameter backup, restore and operation data logging. It handles burner modulation positioning while external flame safeguard performs flame detection and burner safety sequence. Supports VFD and oxygen trim for energy saving. Widely deployed for industrial boiler combustion optimization and spare replacement.

InstallationFollow lockout/tagout safety procedure before installation. Mount PPC4000 inside NEMA rated control cabinet. Wire servo actuators via communication cable, connect analog/digital inputs strictly follow Fireye PPC4000 wiring manual. Program fuel curve and PID parameters, perform full stroke test and combustion tuning during commissioning.

InterfaceServo communication port,120VAC power terminal block,4-20mA analog input,digital input terminals,alarm relay output,SD card slot,red metal enclosure for Fireye PPC4000.

FeatureOriginal Fireye PPC4000 Nexus series parallel positioning controller,120VAC input,4 fuel profiles with 24-point curve,supports up to 10 servos,Modbus RTU communication,UL & FM safety certified.
