Hochiki Europe to Showcase Latest Technology
HOCHIKI EUROPE will be demonstrating a working preview of its FIREscape+ emergency lighting system at Firex, which integrates addressable fire detection and emergency lighting technology to provide an intelligent way-finding solution that represents a step-change in how people safely evacuate buildings.
Traditional emergency lighting does not allow signs to be ‘shut off’, which can direct people into the path of danger. FIREscape+ addresses this by identifying where in the building the fire is taking place and communicates the safest route.
Visitors will also see working examples of both EN and UL approved fire control panels that make up the HFP fire detection system offering. The HFP range includes Hochiki’s latest generation of smoke sensors that feature the company’s High Performance Chamber Technology. In addition to analogue addressable and conventional systems, Hochiki will be showing products for more specialised environments, such as its marine, intrinsically safe and explosion-proof ranges, which are also compatible with the HFP system.

Fulleon to Focus on New Squashni Beacon
Eaton’s FULLEON business will be displaying a powerful addition to its LX range of beacons, the new Squashni Base LX Ceiling device. Incorporating LED technology and a patented optical design, the highly efficient Squashni Base LX Ceiling helps overcome the challenge of positioning visual alarm devices (VADs) in large public spaces such as shopping centres and other commercial buildings, where high power consumption is required to achieve the necessary coverage.
Delivering a coverage volume of 15 metres, the device matches the spacing specifications for smoke and heat detectors, which can be incorporated directly into the unit as a result of its user-friendly design. This reduces the number of beacons that would ordinarily be needed in a large public space, resulting in reduced installation time. Further economies are achieved by the low current consumption of the unit. The device has been designed in accordance with the recently-enforced EN 54-23 standard.
