The Fike 63-1052 is an addressable smoke detector designed to provide dependable early fire detection in commercial and industrial fire alarm systems. Its sensing chamber uses the light scattering principle to detect smoke from a broad range of fire conditions while incorporating chamber features that help minimize the effects of settled dust.
The detector uses Fike peer to peer digital communication for fast and reliable exchange of device status information. Operating parameters are stored in nonvolatile memory within the detector, allowing onboard processing of sensitivity, alarm, pre alarm, environmental compensation, and other detection functions.
Product Functions

Detection and Sensitivity
The detector supports separate day and night alarm sensitivity settings with adjustable thresholds from approximately 1.3 to 3.6 percent per foot obscuration. Dual pre alarm thresholds can be configured between approximately 0.5 and 4.0 percent per foot obscuration.
Configurable operating functions include alarm verification, drift compensation, two pre alarm levels, walk test, device summing, acclimate operation, remote annunciation, and day and night sensitivity.
Status Indication
The 63-1052 incorporates a tri color LED that provides immediate visual indication of detector status. This assists technicians with system commissioning, testing, troubleshooting, and routine maintenance.
An optional Fike 02-3868 remote LED annunciator can also be connected. The remote indicator can be configured to follow the detector LED or operate independently depending on system programming.
Physical and Environmental Information
Its diameter is approximately 6.1 inches with the 63-1054 flanged base or 4.1 inches with the 63-1055 flangeless base. Detector weight is approximately 5.2 ounces.
