FAELSAFE (SMC) LTD jump into the Wireless Age with Hochiki Ekho

A NEW GENERATION OF WIRELESS FIRE DETECTION

Ekho is a wireless based family of products which can be fully integrated into Hochiki’s renowned ESP intelligent hard-wired system, which in turn can be used with Kentec’s fire alarm panels.  At the core of the system is the wireless Translator module. It is hard-wired to the fire alarm control panel loop and communicates continuously with the wireless devices. Wireless Expander modules are used to extend the radio mesh network, increasing the reach and capacity of the overall system.  Ekho is the next generation of wireless fire detection.

• MEETING THE STANDARDS
  • Manufactured to the latest standards
• QUALITY & RELIABILITY
  • The system has been independently tested and approved by the LPCB and RED (EU Standard) reaching the highest level of quality and reliability.
• COST CONSIDERATIONS
  • Project management can prove costly, and specialist wiring installations require skilled engineers and considerable disruption during installation, leading to increased labour costs and limiting access for extended periods. Ekho is quick to install and requires minimal preparation in advance of system installation. This leads to a very economical installation when compared with traditional hardwired devices.
• FLEXIBILITY & ADAPTABILITY
  • Ekho sensors are supplied in three variants: Optical, Thermal and Multi Criteria, which cover a wide range of applications. The Optical and Multi Criteria detectors feature double dust traps and adaptive signal processing to prevent false alarms. Thermal detectors can respond to a fixed temperature threshold, or detect a rate of rise in temperature.
  • The range of Ekho devices provides a visually attractive wireless fire detection solution, encompassing a wide variety of installation types and sizes.
