Advanced Protects the Engineers of Tomorrow at One of Southern Europe’s Most Important Research Centres
13 Jan 2020
Four networked MxPro 5 fire panels from global systems leader, Advanced, are now protecting one of Serbia’s most prestigious higher education facilities.
The project at the University of Belgrade’s School of
Electrical Engineering, involved installing a fire system to reliably protect
lives and property while respecting the value and authenticity of its 1920s
features. This meant overcoming various problems presented by outdated
construction methods, inaccessible areas and high ceilings.
Thanks to their performance, quality and ease of use, a
network of three of Advanced’s 4-loop and one of its 1-loop MxPro 5 fire panels,
including over 1000 Argus detectors, were chose to protect the entirety of this
top educational and scientific institution, including the facilities of Civil
Design, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.
Advanced’s local partner in Serbia, TVI Ltd, was
responsible for the design, installation and commissioning of the project. Electrical
Engineer, Radomir Kerkez, at TVI Ltd, said: “The flexibility of Advanced’s fire
panels to adapt to sites both large and small is what makes us choose them time
and time again. Advanced products make even the most complex installation
challenges straightforward and we can always rely on them to deliver complete
protection.”
MxPro 5 is the leading
multiprotocol fire system solution and was recently certified to the EN 54
standard by FM (Factory Mutual). It offers customers a choice of two panel
ranges, four detector protocols and a completely open installer network, backed
up by free training and support. MxPro panels can be used in single-loop,
single-panel format or easily configured into high-speed, multi-loop networks
of up to 200 nodes covering huge areas. MxPro’s legendary ease of installation
and configuration plus wide peripheral range, make it customisable to almost
any application.
Vladimir Zrnic, Advanced’s Regional Sales Manager for
Southern Europe, said: “Our fire systems offer many ways to meet the challenges
of protecting a building’s heritage features while providing robust and
reliable fire protection. It is great to see that potential put into practice
in yet another successful and prestigious site.”
Advanced, owned by FTSE 100 company Halma PLC, has a long
history of protecting some of Europe’s most notable and prestigious buildings,
including Athens’ Stavros Niarchos Foundation Cultural Centre, Istanbul’s Hagia
Sophia and Sofia’s Sofia University.
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 see 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.
