Visitors to the Hochiki stand will also be in line for an opportunity to win the latest compact Philips DCP951 Docking Entertainment System and enjoy watching DVDs and iPod videos on its 225mm-wide colour widescreen.

The company's ESP - Enhanced System Protocol - range of analogue addressable sensors will undoubtedly be centre-stage at Firex. Thanks to a number of industry-first innovations, including Hochiki's unique Flat Response high performance chamber technology and an impressive suite of false alarm management tools, these sensors have won the approval of fire engineers and system integrators alike and are now widely regarded as the detection products of first choice. They will be on show alongside Hochiki's conventional CDX range, which the company believes is one of the most extensive conventional product offerings on the market.

Hochiki Europe (UK) is headquartered in Gillingham, Kent, and has been active in the fire safety market since 1993, manufacturing intelligent and conventional detectors and ancillaries that are marketed throughout Europe, the Middle East and Africa for commercial, industrial, marine and high-hazard applications. It is a subsidiary of the Tokyo-based Hochiki Corporation that last year celebrated over 90 years in the fire safety business. The company 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 with global manufacture sites and the largest fire test laboratory in the world.
