FIK-IR3-HD User Manual Doc. No. 06-932.02
For more information & Technical support: (800)-979-FIKE (3453)
1. Introduction
The FIK-IR3-HD will detect fires and explosions extremely fast allowing preventative action to be initiated
rapidly and minimize the consequences!
• Detection within 40 milliseconds of fireballs or explosions
• Standard fire is detected within 1.5 second from 100 ft. (30m) and 4 seconds from 230 ft. (70m).
The detector provides ultra-fast response, high performance and reliable detection of all types of hydrocarbon
fires (visible and non-visible). The detector addresses slow growing fires as well as fast eruption of fire using
improved triple IR (IR3) technology. It operates in all weather and light conditions with highest immunity to false
alarms.
In addition, the detector provides high-definition (HD) video output of the monitored area with clear imaging of a
fire event and of personnel at distances up to 100 ft (30m). This allows the rescue team to be aware of the exact
situation before entering the hazardous area. The detector automatically records video of fire event (1 minute
pre- and up to 3 minutes post-alarm initiation). These features, along with the built-in event logger, provide
additional means to study the cause and development of fire events.
1.1 Key Features
• Extreme sensitivity - up to 260ft (80m) for a 1 ft
2
(0.1m
2
) N-heptane pan fire.
• 1.5 second detection time - for 1 ft
2
(0.1m
2
) N-heptane pan fire at up to 100 ft. (30m) distance.
• Ultra-fast detection mode - detection within 40 milliseconds for fireballs or explosions.
• HD video output with Automatic HD video recording of fire events. Data/Event logger: Alarms, faults and other
relevant events are logged to non-volatile memory.
• Built-in-Test (BIT) - Automatic (and manual) self-test of window cleanliness and the overall operation of the
detector.
• Window heater to avoid condensation and icing.
• Tilt mounting bracket can be connected either above or below the detector.
1.2 Model Number Description
Model No are defined as follows:
FIK-IR3-HD-AS11 – Detector with HD video output and M25 conduit openings
FIK-IR3-HD-AS21 – Detector with HD video output and ¾” NPT conduit openings
1.3 Internal tests
During normal operation, the flame detector performs self-tests of its optics, electronics and software. These
include a periodic BIT (Built-In-Test) in which the sensors and window cleanliness are tested. Any detected
fault is indicated as shown in Table 4 (in section 5.1). During “Dirty Window” fault the detection sensitivity is
significantly reduced, while “Fault” refers to critical faults which totally prevent flame detection.
