Hochiki Fire Detection Systems

Hochiki manufactures life safety equipment for fire detection and alarm systems. 

Their core products include smoke, heat, and multi-sensor detectors, fire alarm sounders (sirens and beacons), detector base plates, and intelligent interface modules. 

These modules enable the fire alarm system to interact with other building systems like elevators, fire doors, and HVAC.

Yes, Hochiki's fire detection products fully comply with UK fire safety standards and hold all necessary certifications for legal use. 

Their smoke and heat detectors and alarm devices are certified to relevant EN54 standards and carry the CE mark. Many devices are also LPCB approved, assuring quality and reliability through independent testing. 

Using Hochiki equipment ensures your fire alarm system meets UK regulations (like BS 5839 and Approved Document B), simplifying compliance and providing peace of mind regarding legal and safety requirements.

Hochiki detectors and sounders are widely used in commercial and public buildings for fire alarm systems, including offices, retail stores, schools, hospitals, and factories. Available in a wide range of models for diverse environments, Hochiki devices are suitable for both small and large, complex premises, safeguarding occupants in various settings from local shops to industrial plants.

Their reliable smoke and heat detectors are ceiling-mounted for early fire detection, while sounders (and sounder-beacons) are placed throughout buildings to ensure clear audibility and visibility of alarms. 

Hochiki detectors monitor for fire signs and trigger alarms and sounders for immediate evacuation. Interface modules simultaneously activate other safety measures like closing fire doors, shutting down ventilation, activating emergency lighting, and controlling elevators. 

Detectors and sounders provide the alert, while modules coordinate safety functions for safer evacuation and fire containment.

Regular maintenance and testing are crucial for Hochiki fire detection products in the UK, as mandated by BS 5839-1.

Weekly user tests involve activating a call point or detector to confirm alarm and control panel functionality. Qualified engineers should conduct professional servicing annually (or biannually for commercial systems), including thorough inspection and testing of all components (detectors, sounders, modules), and cleaning to prevent issues like false alarms. Backup batteries and power supplies also require checking and replacement as needed. Consistent maintenance ensures reliable performance, regulatory compliance, and optimal fire protection in commercial buildings.
