The new system drastically reduces the need for snagging, on-site testing and commissioning, as every Smart-Fix⁺ assembly is 100 percent factory tested. The pluggable, lockable and mechanically-coded connections ensure that there is no prospect of mis-mating, plus they eradicate on-site cable preparation and costly and potentially dangerous cabling errors.

Smart-Fix⁺ is a fully-engineered cabling system that enables safe and rapid installation "straight from the box". Cables are supplied to site in pre-determined lengths at one-metre increments with factory-fitted connectors at either end. These loop cables plug directly into the Smart-Fix⁺ back boxes that are pre-wired to Hochiki fire detection and alarm devices. The ingenious back boxes lock into place using a patented 'swing lock' fixing mechanism. Once the sensor base or call point is located in the fixing cavity, the fixing screws are tightened. This causes the patented 'Rotalock' mechanism to turn away from the unit and tighten behind the fixing surface.
