Hochiki’s latest in life safety insight

1 November 2019 News & Events

Hochiki Middle East FZE, part of the Hochiki Group, is showcasing its range of intelligent life safety systems on Stand 4-B22 at this year’s Intersec exhibition in Dubai, from 19-21 January 2020.

Experts from the company’s Middle East team will be on hand giving visitors the latest advice and insight around fire safety trends and technology in the life safety industry, as well as providing guests with live product demonstrations.

During the exhibition, the Hochiki Middle East team will demonstrate L@titude, the company’s powerful and sophisticated control and indication system, the EN-approved version of which is now Part 13 approved. The platform enables customers to quickly locate and examine incidents occurring across premises from any location, in real time. It can also be operated alongside the company’s new L@ti-View graphics software which building managers can use to have complete visual overview and control over their fire detection networks.

Hochiki’s emergency lighting system, FIREscape, will also be included on the company’s Intersec stand. FIREscape is a fully compliant emergency lighting system that features self-testing technology to locate and identify problems, making maintenance quick and easy.

Perhaps the biggest news – and an exclusive for the Intersec event – is the unveiling of Hochiki’s newest generation of UL approved addressable smoke sensors, specifically designed to meet the new 7th edition of the UL standards. The changes to the standard come into effect for manufacturers in May 2020 and represent a major increase in scope, most notably the addition of three new fire tests: detection of flaming Polyurethane (PU) furniture foam, detection of smouldering Polyurethane foam and the reduction of false alarms from cooking fumes.

Intersec will take place at the Dubai World Trade Centre on 19-21 January 2020. For more information about Hochiki Middle East, visit www.hochiki.ae.
