This sensor must be installed in compliance with the control panel system 
installation manual and the SWIFT Wireless Manual. The installation must 
meet the requirements of the Authority Having Jurisdiction (AHJ). Sensors 
offer maximum performance when installed in compliance with the National 
Fire Protection Association (NFPA); see NFPA 72. 

GENERAL DESCRIPTION

Models FIK-W-PHOTO and FIK-W-ACCLIMATE are plug-in type smoke sensors 
that combine a photoelectronic sensing chamber with wireless communica-
tion. The sensors transmit a digital representation of smoke density through 
a wireless mesh to a gateway. The gateway will send the information to the 
panel when requested. Rotary dial switches are provided for setting the sen-
sor’s address. (See Figure 1.)
Two LEDs on the sensor are controlled by the panel to indicate sensor status. 
Model FIK-W-ACCLIMATE combines a photoelectronic sensing chamber and 
135°F (57.2°C) fixed temperature heat detector. The FIK-W-ACCLIMATE also 
transmits an alarm signal due to heat (135°F fixed) per UL 521.
Fike panels offer different features sets across different models. As a result, 
certain features of the FIK-W-PHOTO and FIK-W-ACCLIMATE may be avail-
able on some control panels, but not on others. The possible features avail-
able in the FIK-W-PHOTO and FIK-W-ACCLIMATE, if supported by the control 
panel are:

•   The panel controls the LED operation on the sensor. Operational modes 

include red, green and amber colors in various solid or blink patterns.

Please refer to the operation manual for the UL listed control panel for specific 
operation of the FIK-W-PHOTO and FIK-W-ACCLIMATE.
The FIK-W-PHOTO and FIK-W-ACCLIMATE require compatible addressable 
communications to function properly. Connect these sensors to listed-compat-
ible control panels only.

SPACING

Fike recommends spacing sensors in compliance with NFPA 72. In low air 
flow applications with smooth ceilings, space sensors 30 feet apart. When 
using the FIK-W-ACCLIMATE as a heat detector in FM3210 compliant applica-
tions, space sensors 20 feet apart. For specific information regarding sensor 
spacing, placement, and special applications, refer to NFPA 72 or the System 
Smoke Detector Application Guide, available from System Sensor.
Wireless technologies can exhibit communication disruption if devices are 
spaced too close together. To avoid this form of disruption, SWIFT devices 
should not be placed closer than 2 feet (60 cm) apart without an intervening 
structure.
NOTE: Do not attach the base and detectors to temporary structures such as 
removable ceiling tiles such that the placement could be altered. To prevent

INSTALLATION AND MAINTENANCE INSTRUCTIONS

changes in device placement, permanently secure the structure or mount the 
detector across the ceiling panel support as shown in Figure 2.

BATTERY REPLACEMENT

Low battery levels on the wireless devices are displayed as a trouble on the 
FACP. Therefore when the message “TROUBLE BATTERY LOW” is displayed, 
replace the battery in the device. This message is an indication that approxi-
mately one week of battery life remains.

To replace the batteries in a wireless device use the following steps:

1.  Have 4 CR123A (or DL123A) batteries available
2.   Remove the detector from the base.
3.   Open the battery compartment refer to Figure 3. Note: The battery com-

partment cover may be left attached at the hinges during battery replace-
ment.

4.   Remove the used batteries and replace with new batteries. The battery 

compartment is designed such that the batteries can only align in the ap-
propriate direction. Do not force the batteries into the openings.

5.  Replace the battery compartment cover.
6.  Return the device to its original location.

CAUTION

Dust covers provide limited protection against airborne dust particles during 
shipping. Dust covers must be removed before the sensors can sense smoke. 
Remove sensors prior to heavy remodeling or construction.
