How to find product documentation

1. Go to the Hochiki Europe website: https://www.hochikieurope.com

2. Open the relevant product range:

   • Select Products.

   • Choose the relevant range, such as Fire Detection and then ESP (Intelligent). 

   • For audio and visual alarm devices, use the Hochiki VADs area within the ESP range or the Hochiki VADs product page.

3. Use the download buttons on the product or range page:

   • Range pages may include buttons such as Download Product Guide, ESP Range Overview or VADs Overview Brochure.

   • Product areas may also provide specification or application-note downloads where available.

4. Use the Literature page for general guides:

   • Open Resources and then Literature.

   • Use this page for documents such as the Product Guide, BS5839 Guide, VADs Overview and other range brochures.

5. Check that the document matches your product:

   • Confirm the exact product code, including case colour and LED colour suffixes where relevant.

   • Check the document title, issue/date and region.

   • For compliance, design or installation decisions, use current Hochiki Europe documents rather than third-party copies.

Which document should I use?

• Use a product datasheet or EN specification for certified product data and electrical or mechanical specifications.

• Use a range overview or product guide when you need to identify the correct product family, variant or ordering code.

• Use an application note or VAD overview when you need guidance on use cases, coverage selection or design considerations.

• Products > Fire Detection > ESP (Intelligent) for the product range.

• Products > Hochiki VADs for visual alarm device guidance.

• Resources > Literature for the Product Guide and VADs Overview.
