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

Fire detection networks

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 innovative emergency lighting system, FIREscape will also be included on the company’s Intersec stand.

Highly cost effective and environmentally friendly, 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.

Reduction of false alarms

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. Shinsuke Kubo, Managing Director at Hochiki Middle East, commented: “The reliability and innovative nature of our product range is renowned within the life safety market."

"Those who have visited our stand at Intersec before know we always come prepared with the latest knowledge and insight collated from the previous year. 2020 will be an exciting year for Hochiki with a number of product developments and service announcements in the pipeline. If you want to learn more about how our world-leading solutions can protect your business, then come visit us!”
