Hochiki FIRELINK-25 1 Pipe Aspirating Smoke Detector with Docking Station

The Hochiki FIRElink-25 is a single-pipe aspirating (air sampling) smoke detector that gives very high sensitivity smoke detection in a small package. Hochiki positions it as the entry-level FIRElink unit for smaller areas up to 250 m², such as small server rooms or retail spaces.

It configures itself to the protected environment without complex set-up, and fits into a docking station that takes all sampling pipes and cables, so the detector can be fitted at final commissioning. Volt-free Fire 1 and Fault relays allow monitoring by a fire panel or BMS, and an optional FL-APIC card connects it to a Hochiki ESP addressable loop. All FIRElink detectors are LPCB approved to EN54-20:2006 Classes A, B and C.

Key features

• Ultra small, low cost aspirating smoke detector for discreet installation
• Laser-based forward light scatter for reliable early warning
• Single sampling pipe up to 50 m (still air)
• Laser dust discrimination to reduce false alarms
• RS485 communications built in for networking and remote communications
• Docking station accepts pipes and cables before the detector is fitted
