It’s not every day a Japanese fire alarm manufacturer sells in America…so much so that I expected Hochiki to make Americanized versions of Japanese fire alarms, lol.
I went to mexico and saw that places were using Hochiki rebranded Gentex commander 3's and some places use hochiki pull stations and others use a Fire Lite/Notifier Pull station, resideo pull station, etc with these hochiki
Suggestion: Diy smoke evacuation system activated by the fire alarm. Would be useful for the functional test, and real emergencies where it would make it even easier to see in combination with the emergency lights. I’m thinking you could buy a blower and a small duct tube that could blow smoke out a window or damper.
So silent knight has 3 series of addersable devices SD - Rebranded Hochcki Devices SK - Rebranded System Sensor Devices IDP - Rebranded System Sensor Devices for use with the ifp series panels only You can't mix multiple device series at the same time on one sk addersable panel, you must switch to protocol that the devices currently on the slc use. Also sk addressesable panels manufactured before aroundd circa 2009-2013 dont have support for the sk/idp protocol, only sd Addiontaly, sd protocol has support for less devices and polls alot slower then idp or sk, also the sk protocol is basicly the same as flashscan, idp is a little bit different or a protocol
Suggestion: EST Dual Action Pull Station (278B-1110 with key reset) With Ceiling Mount EST Genesis Speaker (without strobe), EST Genisis Horn Strobes, Voice Evac Message Should Be The Potter Evax Emergency Whoop Message (reason why i requested this is because that is my Schools Fire Alarm system 😂) (i also forgot the Lunch room Wall Speaker (EST Genesis Speaker Strobe)
Great system test! I find it very neat that Hotchiki rebrands US devices. That being said, isn't Hotchiki a UK brand, or am I wrong? Anyway, I like how this one was a bit funny. Definitely not that many videos with funny bits in them as much when it comes to system tests.
@@captainchris2016hochiki is a Japanese brand. But Hochiki fire alarms are completely different. Such as the smoke detectors we get in the US are designed and made in the UK and imported for the US market
