Advanced Launches Upgraded MxPro 5 and Axis EN Fire Panels
Advanced, a global leader in fire and life safety systems, is proud to introduce the latest enhancements to its trusted MxPro 5 and Axis EN fire panels. Building on the strong foundation of the existing solution, these updates are designed to improve performance and versatility, ensuring even greater peace of mind for users.
This upgrade brings a significant boost in performance, with faster power-up times and greatly reduced configuration transfer durations. Users will also enjoy enhanced configuration capabilities, supporting more complex cause-and-effect programming. These improvements make it easier than ever to manage larger and more advanced fire safety systems. Powered by a state-of-the-art processor, the enhanced panels deliver eight times the processing power of previous models, allowing for faster response times, improved system reliability, and the ability to handle more complex installations with ease.
A key advancement is the introduction of an upgraded power supply unit, designed to offer easier replacement, improved support for third-party equipment, and extended battery life. This ensures that the panels operate with greater reliability and uninterrupted performance. In addition to these hardware upgrades, Advanced has introduced a new, intuitive programming tool – ConfigTool (PC-Net-022) – which is compatible with next-generation panels. This tool provides a vastly improved user experience, with easier navigation and up to ten times faster configuration transfer times, now typically taking less than 30 seconds.
The MxPro 5’s versatility is further enhanced by its support for a variety of the latest wired and wireless protocols, including leading open protocol providers Apollo, Hochiki, Argus and Nittan, bringing greater system design flexibility to meet the requirements of a wide variety of sites.
These upgrades have undergone rigorous testing and are FM-approved to EN 54 Parts 2 and 4, affirming their compliance with the highest international fire safety standards.
Backward Compatibility for Seamless Upgrades
On top of these extensive improvements, the next-generation MxPro 5 and Axis EN panels are also fully backward compatible with existing models. This ensures that current users can easily and cost-effectively upgrade their systems without disruption. The panels retain their familiar external appearance and part numbers, simplifying the integration process, while the internal design has been refined to accommodate the enhancements.
