The
100th fire alarm control panel, from global leaders in the design, manufacture
and supply of intelligent fire systems, Advanced, has been installed on the
London Underground. The UK-based manufacturer is celebrating its 20th
year in business with more than 60 Tube stations now protected by its industry-leading
fire systems.
First
beginning operation in 1863, the London Underground transports five million
commuters to 270 stations across the capital each day, serving over a billion
passengers a year. The most complex installations are on the Jubilee line,
where Stratford has six networked MxPro panels and Waterloo Tube station has
five, while the deepest installation is at Hampstead, over 30 metres below
ground level.
The
complexity of the systems differs from station to station, but all are fully
integrated with sprinkler systems and have a device to monitor the escalators,
a location of particular importance in terms of fire safety. Many also have a
repeater panel, which allows the fire system to be controlled and monitored
from multiple locations within the station.
Approved to EN54 parts 2, 4 and 13, MxPro 5 panels can be
used in single loop, single panel format or easily configured into high speed,
200 panel networks covering huge areas and tens of thousands of field devices.
Advanced’s legendary ease of installation and configuration and wide peripheral
range mean that MxPro is customisable to almost any application and it can be
found in challenging and prestigious sites around the world.
Amanda
Hope, UK Business Development Manager for Advanced, commented: “We have worked
closely with the London Underground team to specify the optimum installation
for each station. The training and ongoing support that we provide means it is
simpler to train staff on each system, and any technical queries can be dealt
with rapidly by our remote team.”
As
Advanced moves into its 20th year the fire systems manufacturer has
established itself in its new, state-of-the-art, 48,000
sq ft base in Newcastle Upon Tyne. The move is essential to satisfy increasing
UK and international demand from customers for its life safety products - with turnover increasing
past the £20million mark in 2018.
Advanced’s
MxPro fire systems support two new technologies, the TouchControl touchscreen
repeater and AlarmCalm complete false alarm management system. TouchControl is
a 10” HD touchscreen that offers dynamic reporting and control via a unique
interface that includes Active Maps and zone plans. AlarmCalm uses Advanced’s
fast hardware, updated config software and optional loop verification devices
to deliver a system that allows the false alarm strategy for any building to be
quickly and easily programmed and managed, increasing safety and reducing false
alarms.
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. More details can be found on the website at www.advancedco.com
