Hochiki ALK-V Fire Alarm Smoke Detector + Base - This sophisticated photoelectric smoke sensor provides reliable fire detection with advanced drift compensation technology for modern safety systems. - Operating Voltage Range: 15.0V to 33.0V DC - Maximum Current Consumption: 600µA at 24V DC - Sensitivity Range: 0.8% to 4.0% per foot obscuration - Operating Temperature Range: 32°F to 120°F (0°C to 49°C) - Compatible Base: Hochiki Analog Series standard mounting base - Compared to legacy detection hardware, the ALK-V platform offers vastly improved stability against false alarms caused by airborne debris and dust. While older sensors often required frequent manual recalibration, this model utilizes sophisticated algorithms to self-adjust as the chamber accumulates particles over time, meeting the stringent demands of contemporary commercial fire safety codes.

Advanced Sensing and Reliability

The ALK-V utilizes a high-performance photoelectric light-scattering chamber to identify smoldering fires rapidly and accurately. By incorporating non-volatile memory for configuration and a unique addressable design, it ensures seamless integration within complex signaling loops, providing facility managers with precise location identification the moment an incident occurs.

Intelligent Performance Features

Precision manufacturing defines the operational reliability of this unit, which features an easily removable cover for field cleaning and maintenance. The low-profile design minimizes visual impact in finished ceilings, while its built-in transient suppression circuitry protects the internal components from electrical surges and voltage spikes commonly found in large-scale building infrastructure.
