Advanced protection for Magna Carta
29 Jun 2015
One of the most famous historical documents in Britain, if not the western world, is being
protected by extinguishing and fire alarm panels from Advanced, installation by Reflex Systems.
Sealed
by King John at Runnymede in 1215, Magna Carta is celebrating its 800th
anniversary (the actual anniversary is 15 June). It is the first example of an
absolute monarch surrendering some of his powers, the beginning of a process
that led eventually to our current system of government and the prototype for
democratic government all over the world.
The version protected by Advanced is particularly precious being one of only four
surviving original 1215 Magna Carta sealed by King John and is kept in a
special vault at Lincoln Castle, itself a Scheduled Monument, alongside Magna
Carta’s sister document The Charter of the Forest (1217).
Lincoln
Castle, one of the best preserved in England was constructed in the 11th
Century by William the Conqueror, and is one of only two to have two mottes. The
fire and suppression systems installed by long-time Advanced partner Reflex
Systems incorporate two MxPro 5 panels in the main heritage centre and the
former Victorian prison building, which closed in 1878. Advanced’s
ultra-dependable ExGo extinguishant release system has been installed in the
Magna Carta vault.
MxPro is the industry-leading multiprotocol fire system. Offering real choice and flexibility, it includes two panels ranges, the EN54-2&4 approved MxPro 4 and EN54-2,4&13 approved MxPro 5. It offers four protocols, Apollo, Argus,Hochiki and Nittan and a completely open installer network that benefits from free training and technical support.
John Pye, Managing Director of Reflex Systems said: “Lincoln Castle required an open protocol fire system and we knew that Advanced panels could deliver maximum reassurance and long term reliability. Having worked with Advanced in the past, we knew that the equipment would be of the highest quality for such a historic building plus the system offers the flexibility to meet future requirements.”
ExGo has been developed specifically for sensitive and strategic assets such as server rooms, historic and cultural attractions and control rooms. It has been installed in high-profile buildings across the globe, including the Romanian National Library and along oil pipelines in Sudan.
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. In total, one MxPro 5 four-loop panel was installed in the main prison
building and one MxPro 5 two-loop panel was installed in the heritage centre.
A spokesperson for Lincoln Castle commented: “We’re very pleased with the Advanced systems installed by Reflex. As the Castle is a listed building, it was essential that the panels and detectors be as discrete as possible, particularly in the prison and the Magna Carta Vault. This year marks the 800th anniversary of the sealing of Magna Carta and we are happy that our visitors will be able see one of the four original copies under the protection of Advanced panels.”
Neil Parkin, Sales Manager for Advanced added: “Advanced fire systems are famous for their quality and ease-of-use and being specified to protect life and cultural assets of this importance is testament to our work to stay at the forefront of the market. As a company we are proud of all of our jobs but this one is very special. They don’t come up very often and it says a lot about Advanced products that we are the first choice.”
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 them used in prestigious and challenging locations all over the world, from single panel installations to large multi-site networks. Advanced products include complete fire detection systems, multi-protocol fire panels, extinguishing control and fire paging systems. More details can be found on the website at www.advancedco.com.
