Intelligent ESP Features

Addressable Sensors

Addressable Sensors

Hochiki’s world-leading intelligent addressable fire detection sensors deliver exceptional performance and reliability.

There are four models in the main sensor range offering optical smoke detection, heat detection, multi-criteria detection (smoke and heat) and multi-criteria with CO detection.

All models require just one, electronics-free mounting base, making ordering, stockholding and installation simple and efficient. The sensors are electronically addressed in seconds using a hand-held programmer via Hochiki’s ultra-reliable ESP protocol, so no fiddly mechanical addressing on site.

Intelligent ESP open protocol communication is supported by all leading fire panel manufacturers for complete flexibility for the installer when it comes to panel choice and comes with features such as extended addressing, sub-addressing, adjustable sensor sensitivity and drift compensation.

  • Electronics-free base

  • Available with or without integral SCI

  • Choice of white, ivory or black cases

  • Simple twist fit fixing, with tamper proof lock

  • Bi-coloured LED – red for alarm, green for polling

  • Fully approved to EN54

CHQ-I/O Modules

Hochiki’s world-leading CHQ range of Input/Output Modules has been designed to seamlessly provide additional control and monitoring functionality to the fire detection system. There are nine models in the main enclosure style range, each providing the system designer with a different function and application.

The majority are loop-powered, and between the various models can provide monitored inputs, change-over relays, fully monitored sounder circuits, conventional zone monitoring, monitored inputs and/or outputs, and mains-rated relays.

With control panel compatibility, individual module channels can even be independently addressed and controlled and monitored, adding a further level of flexibility.

  • Loop-powered

  • Single Loop Address – with sub addressable channels

  • Also available as DIN enclosures to save space

  • Integral SCI

  • Easy to install

  • LPCB Approved

  • ESP Protocol compatible

CHQ-IO Modules
Audio and Visual Alarm Devices

Audio and Visual Alarm Devices

Our extensive range of intelligent addressable fire detection includes beacons, wall sounders, base sounders, combination sounder/beacons and a sub-range of EN54-23 approved VADs (Visual Alarm Devices).

Our sounders are all loop-powered and equipped with 51 EN54-approved tones with a wide range of sound levels and light outputs for any application.

Thanks to our innovative ESP Protocol, base sounders and base sounder beacons will automatically adopt an address based on the attached sensor address (the sensor addresses plus 127) saving time at install.

Depending on control panel compatibility, it's also possible to operate and control the sound and light outputs of the base sounder beacons independently, adding extra flexibility when it comes to system design and performance.

  • Loop-powered

  • Separate control over sound and light

  • Wider range including EN54-23 approved VADs

  • All devices approved to EN54

  • Base sounders available with integrated SCIs

  • ESP protocol compatible

Benefits of the ESP Range

quality-icon-esp (2)

Premium Quality

Our ESP intelligent range of products is built to high quality standards ensuring long-term reliability and enhanced performance.

false-alarm-icon-esp

False Alarm Reduction

Utilising our world-proven open protocol system, ESP, the range features software tools designed to minimise the risk of unwanted alarms. The high-performance smoke chamber also allows individual sensor sensitivity settings to be adjusted to suit the specific environment.

compliant-icon-esp

Fully Compliant

Our ESP Intelligent range is compliant with world recognised standards such as BRE/LPCB and VdS. We ensure our products not only meet but exceed the standards, delivering optimal performance.

diverse-range-icon-esp

Diverse Range

Our comprehensive ESP system comprises a wide range products suitable for any application. We provide versatile solutions that can be installed in any environment.

Key Benefits of the ESP Range

signposts-icon-blue

Extended Addressing

The usable address range (1 to 127) can be extended from 128 to 254 for certain alarm devices, minimising costs.

diagram-icon-blue

Sub-Addressing

Accommodates up to 8 inputs and 8 outputs at each address. Each sub-address can be used within the cause and effects to give greater system flexibility.

speed-icon-blue

Rapid Response

ESP uses an Interrupt System to guarentee rapid responses from any device. The time lapse between operation of a call point and indication of a fire on the system is typically less than 1.5 seconds.

data integrity-icon-blue

Data Integrity

ESP protocol minimises the possibility of data corruptio using a proven combination of algorithms and applies parity and checksum principles to every packet of data.

adjustment-icon-blue

System Tailoring

Advanced controls within the ESP products include variable volumes and tones that allow systems to be tailored to achieve optimum performance.
