Advanced Provides New Fire System
Simulator to Leading London Airport
London City Airport has recently
opened a new simulation training
room, mirroring its fire system
which features panels from leading
manufacturer, Advanced.
Opened in 1987, the airport, situated at
the former Royal Docks in Newham,
is the only airport to be located within
the M25. Servicing over 3.6 million
passengers annually, the airport has ten
operating airlines that travel to over 45
destinations.
The complex is already protected by
Advanced MxPro panels and the new
training room will allow staff to learn
their use and explore various scenarios in
a controlled and isolated environment.
The training room incorporates a
two loop MxPro 4 panel and graphic
package that will allow the staff to
receive necessary training in the use of
the airport systems. MxPro panels were
originally selected due to their reputation
for outstanding quality, reliability and
ease of use.
Robin Kemp, Advanced’s sales manager
for the south east region, commented:
“With Advanced panels already installed
in London City Airport, the addition of
the training room and the MxPro 4 panel
for training purposes allows staff at the
airport to be trained in the latest aspects
of fire safety.
In a 24-hour facility, it’s hard to do
training using the main system, so this
means that all types of incident can be
mocked up without inconveniencing
passengers.”
MxPro is the fire industry’s leading
multiprotocol fire solution, offering
customers a choice of two panel ranges,
four detector protocols and a completely
open installer network that enjoys free
training and support.
MxPro panels can be used in single loop,
single panel format or easily configured
into multi-loop, high speed, 200 panel
networks covering huge areas and
thousands of field devices.
MxPro 4 is fully compliant with EN54
Parts 2 and 4, and backed up with
Advanced’s renowned customer care
and technical support. The MxPro 5
is Advanced’s highest performance
analogue panel. It is EN54 2, 4 & 13
approved and is backward compatible
with MxPro 4, offering long-term
security for MxPro customers.
Advanced is a world leader in the
development and manufacture of
intelligent fire systems. The legendary
performance, quality and ease-of-use of
its products sees Advanced specified in
locations all over the world, from single
panel installations to large multi-site
networks.
Advanced’s products include complete
fire detection systems, multi-protocol fire
panels, extinguishing control, fire paging
and false alarm management systems.
