Seven Advanced Mx-4000 fire control panels were installed by Bristol-based MAT Fire Systems Ltd, together with over 400 detectors and 300 base sounders from Hochiki and 8 Airsense Aspirating Smoke Detection (ASD) systems. A combination of 5 single loop panels and 2 4-loop panels were installed in different locations throughout the school and networked together to provide a single integrated system. The Airsense units were also fully interfaced to the Mx-4000 panels via I/O units.

The fire alarm system is fully integrated with the Building Management System (BMS) and access control system to ensure safe and quick evacuation in the event of a fire or incident. The Mx-4000 panels automatically initiate a plant shutdown via the BMS and activate door retainers and smoke dampers and notify the fire services via a RedCare link.

"We specified the Mx-4000 range from Advanced Electronics because of their field-proven reliability, advanced networking features and excellent customer and technical support", said Mr Rick Coles, Managing Director of MAT Fire Systems.

Advanced Electronics manufactures a comprehensive range of intelligent control and indicating panels, software and peripherals for fire detection, smoke control and emergency lighting monitoring. The Mx-4000 family of fire panels is approved to EN54 Parts 2 & 4 and is compatible with both Hochiki and Apollo protocols. Advanced also manufacture the LifeLine family of DDA-compliant fire safety products for the deaf and hearing impaired.
