Hochiki To Show Latest Innovations
Hochiki claims that FIRElink is already making high-sensitivity smoke detection technology available to a much wider range of businesses and applications. It incorporates advanced semiconductor laser and electronics technology into a package that the company says shows substantial savings in whole-life cost when compared with other systems on the market. Applications include: smaller non-compartmentalised rooms; warehouses with racking; and electronic and electromechanical equipment.
The company's new voice alarm system, FIREvac, is proving popular because it can be easily integrated with an existing fire detection and alarm installation. It delivers all of the benefits of voice evacuation at a very affordable cost and boasts many of the features found on more costly voice alarm systems on the market. FIREvac also incorporates a number of innovative cost and installation labour saving features.
The new IFD industrial flame detectors are designed for applications where open flaming fires are likely to occur. They respond only to the light emitted from flames; they can be relied upon to differentiate between flames and other light sources and so avoid false alarms that might otherwise be caused by, for example, flickering sunlight. The range currently comprises three models: an intrinsically safe detector; an explosion-proof model; and an IR3 detector that is particularly suited for use in high-risk petrochemical installations.
Hochiki's new CHQ-POM powered output module for its ESP - Enhanced System Protocol - analogue addressable open protocol enables the simple connection of third-party devices, such as IFD-E flame detector, to the ESP loop. The compact-design module supplies 24Vd.c. at various current levels from 2mA to 32mA in increments of 2mA. It offers users the facility to select the current output, includes two monitored inputs, and has colour-coded flying leads for trouble-free installation.
Hochiki Europe (UK) is headquartered in Gillingham, Kent, and has been active in the fire safety market since 1993. It is a subsidiary of the Tokyo-based Hochiki Corporation that installed Japan's first public fire alarm in 1920 and developed the world's first addressable manual call point. Today, it is an international business that manufactures more than five million detectors every year, and has the largest fire test laboratory in the world.
