Product Description
Fully integrated into Hochiki’s ESP intelligent hardwired system, providing maximum flexibility.
Patented wireless technology, utilizing both a hard-wired fire detection system and ‘cluster’ of wireless detection.
Offering a fully expandable and configurable system suitable to a wide range of applications
Most flexible solution available that is easy to install, overcoming challenges on the most demanding sites.
Communication between the translator module and devices is bi-directional and uses the 868MHz frequency range in Europe, 916MHz in Australia and 865MHz in India. Automatic system adjustments, including channel hopping and signal amplification, are implemented to support the security and stability of communications.
The Hochiki EN-approved portfolio of wireless addressable fire detection products offers the installer and system designer flexibility and reliability and a hybrid solution for those environments where complete cabled systems are impractical to install.
The modules allow the use of fully intelligent radio (wireless) field devices alongside standard hard wired devices. Connection of up to 32 radio field devices to an addressable fire detection loop. The RSM-EXP Expander Module increases radio coverage of a FIREwave RSM-WTM Translator Module, allowing the use of the system in larger buildings and in difficult wireless environments. Multiple Expanders can be utilised in a micro cell structure to provide a solution to large, complex systems. Up to 7 Expander Modules may be configured to any one Translator Module forming a micro cell cluster.
Compatible with Translator and Expander modules, the patented chamber ensures optimal sensitivity from all directions. The double dust trap provides the chamber with increased protection from airborne contamination and background illumination. Each sensor is fitted with a reed switch facility, allowing testing using a magnet.
These single channel modules provide a convenient and cost effective solution for monitoring and controlling third party equipment. The units are controllable from the Fire Control Panel via the cause and effect programming and offer the same level of flexibility as standard addressable modules. The units are mounted in protective IP65 housings for installing in hostile conditions and to enable the termination of fire protected cabling.
