1. General
The purpose of this guide is to outline how to perform the
basic setup of the Fike Flame detectors listed below.

FIK‐IR3 Flame Detector

FIK‐IR3‐H2 Triple IR Hydrogen Flame Detector

FIK‐IR3‐H2‐HD Triple IR Hydrogen Flame Detector

FIK‐IR3‐HD Triple IR Flame Detector

FIK‐UV‐IR Flame Detector

FIK‐UV‐IR‐HD Flame Detector

FIK‐UV‐IR‐F Flame Detector

FIK‐UV‐IR‐F‐HD Flame Detector
Detector setup is best accomplished before the installation
of the detector using the methods outlined in this guide.

3. Detector Connections
Connections to the flame detector for configuration and
setup will vary depending upon whether the detector is
capable of providing a video output. To configure a
detector not equipped with video output capabilities,
simply connect the detector to the host PC (desktop or
laptop) using RS‐485 cable and connect a 24 VDC power
source to the detector (Figure 1). A Fike USB to RS‐485
converter (sold separately) must be used to allow the RS‐
485 cable to be connected to the host PC's USB port. See
USB to RS‐485 Converter Wiring for details. See Table 1 for
detector terminal block wiring connections.

To configure a detector equipped with video output
capabilities, the detector must be connected to the host PC
using CAT5 cable routed through an Ethernet switch (Figure
2). See Table 2 for detector terminal block wiring
connections.
