The discussion covered a wide range of topics all linked to multi-sensor detectors and featured a panel of experts including our own Paul Gatens.

With the development and installation of multi-sensors continuing to grow, our training and support teams are experiencing an increasing number of enquiries about how these devices should be tested.  As well as covering this point, the roundtable also provided an opportunity to discuss the importance of false alarm reduction, certification, and the growing requirement for devices to incorporate CO detection in order to better calculate the presence of a real fire.

The panel consisted of:
  • Paul Adams, Marketing Manager, Hochiki Europe (Chair)
  • Terry Hailes, Managing Director, Cornerstone Fire
  • Paul Gatens, Technical Sales and Support Specialist, Detectortesters
  • Will Lloyd, Technical Manager, Fire Industry Association
  • Martin Green, Regional Sales Manager, Hochiki Europe
  • Neil Eves, Systems Manager, Hochiki Europe

These topics made for plenty of discussion across the panel which you can experience across four separate videos on Hochiki Europe’s YouTube channel.
