Addressing the majority of the Hochiki range of ESP devices is achieved by using the TCH hand-held programmer. The range

The ESP protocol employs data integrity features which minimise the possibility of data corruption. It uses a proven combination of

The ESP protocol can also control those devices that can have their outputs operated continuous or pulsed, such as sounders.

Drift Compensation is a feature of the ESP protocol that allows Hochiki’s ESP sensors to automatically recalibrate over time. The

Adjustable Sensitivity modes within the ESP protocol can be set for each type of ESP sensor that detects smoke. Smoke

The ESP protocol also accommodates sub-addressing, for example up to 8 inputs and 8 outputs within an I/O module at

The ESP protocol allows for 127 main addresses, but these can be extended to 254 for certain loop powered alarm

Each device on the loop is assigned a unique identifier, and this is the specific address that the control panel

Fire Detection systems employ a protocol to send and receive data between the fire control panel and all of its

There are different types of commands used to communicate with the devices on the loop: The Polling command enables the
