Doc. No. 06-930.02 5 Operation The FIK-IR3-H2 is a triple-IR flame detector ready for detecting fire approximately 30 seconds after power up. During this startup time the LED flashes Yellow. If the startup is successful, the indication LED turns to green, the 0-20mA indicates 4mA and the fault relay is closed.
Where dust, dirt or moisture accumulates on the window, first clean the window with a soft optical cloth and detergent, and then rinse with a clean soft cloth, cotton swab, or tissue. For more information & Technical support: (800)-979-FIKE (3453) www.acornfiresecurity.com...
