Globally renowned Japanese life safety solutions provider, Hochiki, has launched in the Danish market, with its most powerful and sophisticated fire control and indication system yet, L@titude.

L@titude life safety system

The new L@titude life safety system combines the very latest hardware and software

Following its successful DBI certification via Hochiki Europe, based in the United Kingdom, the new L@titude life safety system combines the very latest hardware and software, and will provide Danish buildings, health, and safety managers, with a powerful and sophisticated software solution.

Monitoring and control over fire detection, along with comprehensive fire risk and incident management, will be easier now than ever before and where time is of the essence, users can respond quickly and efficiently to a fire event.

Direct integration into intelligent buildings

The flexibility of the L@titude platform is such that it can be re-configured to realize many other control and indication applications, with direct integration into intelligent buildings. The L@titude life safety platform is designed to add value to system designers, security integrators, service providers, end users and building owners.

Developed from the ground up, by the Hochiki group’s leading design team, and using some of the most advanced technology available, L@titude life safety system is designed as one of the most powerful, intelligent, and technically robust fire alarm products, currently available in the market.

Protecting key projects across Europe

Across Europe, Hochiki’s globally renowned fire safety products have been specified for several highly prestigious projects, including Bulgaria’s National Library, to protect historic artifacts of national and international importance, the sophisticated and modern residential architectural project, The Flag, in Germany, and complex projects for the marine industry, such as wind farms, located off the southeast coast of the United Kingdom.

Specifically, the products and services, offered under the L@titude brand, provide solutions to some of the most technically challenging applications in life safety. One such example is the design and build of a new £5 million Jardine Motors Group showroom, which provides the best experience for its customers, across the United Kingdom.

State-of-the-art control and indication system

The modular nature of the L@titude system allows all-field wiring to be connected to a passive mother board

The Jardine Motors Group showroom, which sells high value Jaguar and Land Rover vehicles, needed a state-of-the-art control and indication system that would link its various heat, flame, and smoke detectors, as well as sit well aesthetically within the space. The L@titude system was specified due to its reliability, flexibility, user friendliness and accessibility.

The modular nature of the L@titude system allows all-field wiring to be connected to a passive mother board, enabling addition, re-configuration, or replacement of all electronic hardware, without the need to disconnect any field wiring. This modularity also allows each panel to be customized with addressable loop detection circuits, conventional detection circuits, relay cards, and additional sounder outputs, or programmable I/O modules, as required.

Specifying advanced life safety equipment

Max De Vries, the Regional Manager - Europe Export Sales, Western Europe, at Hochiki, commented “With L@titude now being DBI certified, our Danish customers know they are specifying the absolute best in life safety equipment.

He adds, “L@titude uses the most sophisticated fire safety technology on the market and we are excited to offer this technology into this new market for Hochiki. L@titude, along with its software solution, Lati-View, will play a crucial role in safeguarding Danish people, valuable information, and property.
