Safer exit path ensured

Manufacturer of life safety solutions, Hochiki Europe will showcase its premium performance fire detection and emergency lighting systems at Security Essen 2012.

Taking centre stage will be a live working demonstration of the company's latest offering, FIREscape+, which integrates intelligent, addressable fire detection and emergency lighting technology to provide an intelligent way-finding solution.

In the event of a fire, a traditional emergency lighting system does not facilitate signs to be 'shut off', allowing people to walk directly into the path of danger. By responding to information sent from the fire detectors FIREscape+ puts an illuminated red 'X' on appropriate emergency signs, advising people not to exit via that particular route and ensures a safer exit path.
