Advanced provides new fire system simulator to leading London airport
17 Aug 2015
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
