Ensuring UL268 7th Edition Compliance Across the Middle East

Hochiki identifies compliance driven smoke detectors and multi sensors for the Middle Eastern market that ensures precision in fire detection.

Unparalleled generation of UL listed smoke detectors now available for installation projects across any region that requires UL approval. While primarily a North American standard, UL standards are increasingly recognised and adopted by regulatory authorities worldwide, including in the Middle East. Specifically designed to achieve compliance with the rigorous UL268 7th Edition standards, Hochiki’s range of innovative 7th edition products fill a crucial gap for conventional applications to meet the UL standard. 

Hochiki conventional products are already renowned for their reliability in reducing false alarms, and their new range of 7th edition conventional detectors continues to evidence these benefits, with the range including the company’s first conventional multi-sensor detector. This unique conventional multi-sensor optical smoke and heat detector (SOE-24H), along with a conventional optical smoke detector (SOE-24V), are already being specified in a host of projects across the Middle East. 

Conventional fire detection systems are particularly suited to projects such as small retail units, simple structures like workshops and storage units as well as health clinics and small educational facilities for example.   

Key Features of Hochiki Europe’s 7th Edition Conventional Smoke and Multi-Sensors: 

Dual LED Technology 

Introducing a revolutionary dual LED technology, incorporating red and blue internal emitters mounted at different angles. Hochiki’s innovative approach enables the detectors to distinguish between smoke particle types more effectively, ensuring precision in fire detection. 

Advanced Algorithms 

Equipped with state-of-the-art algorithms, Hochiki’s detectors can intelligently react to genuine fires while significantly reducing false alarms caused by common sources such as steam and cooking. This ensures a reliable and efficient detection process in diverse environments. 

Automatic drift compensation and maintenance indication 

Utilises a green/red LED for indication of status. In normal standby conditions, the LED flashes green. When the detector automatically senses that its sensitivity has drifted outside the UL listed sensitivity window the LED will flash Red. When in alarm the LED will latch on Red. 

Redesigned Smoke Chamber 

Cutting-edge detectors feature a newly designed smoke chamber, optimising airflow, and smoke intake. The incorporation of multi-spectrum smoke categorisation technology ensures an enhanced response to both flaming and smouldering fires fuelled by traditional materials and polyurethane, ensuring that Hochiki technology meets the stringent requirements of UL268 7th Edition standards.
