Fire protection solutions manufacturer, Advanced, has provided intelligent fire panels to protect Alnmouth Friary, a Franciscan monastery overlooking the Alnmouth coastline in Northumberland.
An Advanced MxPro 5 analog addressable fire panel was installed in the Friary to provide protection that is high-performance and fault tolerant. Alnmouth Friary was originally built as a private dwelling in the early 20th Century and the main ministry offers hospitality to visitors and is also the house where new men are welcomed to try their vocation with the Society of Saint Francis.
Addressable fire panel
Fire and security service providers, Safe Services, installed an Advanced MxPro 5 four loop analog addressable fire panel in the Friary. Safe Services was involved in the project from the design stage though to installation and commissioning. The Advanced MxPro panel is integrated with Apollo Discovery fire detectors for a complete fire system.

Graeme Millar, Fire Systems Technical and Sales Engineer at Safe Systems said: “We were delighted to be asked to install fire protection in the Friary on the beautiful Northumberland coast. The Advanced MxPro 5 is providing fire protection for both the Brothers who live in the Friary and all of their guests who visit them. The Advanced MxPro 5 is our panel of choice since it is reliable, fault-tolerant, high performance and great to install.”
Delivering robust protection
Neil Parkin, Advanced Sales Manager for the North, said: “Our MxPro 5 panels are designed to make life as easy as possible, delivering robust protection that offers real peace of mind, all backed up by our highly rated technical support. Add to that the time and cost benefits they provide to installers, and they are a great choice in multiple scenarios both large and small.”
MxPro 5 is the fire industry’s multiprotocol fire panel and is certified by FM Approvals to the EN 54 standard. It offers customers a choice of four detector protocols and a completely open installer network, backed up by free training and support.
MxPro 5 can be used in single-loop, single-panel format, or easily configured into high-speed networks of up to 200 panels covering huge areas. Ease of installation and configuration, as well as its wide range of peripheral options, make MxPro 5 customizable to almost any application.
Eliminating unwanted alarms
AlarmCalm is available as standard on MxPro 5 multiprotocol fire panels
To combat false and unwanted alarms, AlarmCalm is available as standard on MxPro 5 multiprotocol fire panels, delivering unprecedented control of verification and investigation delays.
By dividing sites up into virtual false alarm ‘building areas’ independent of fire zones, much more precise control of false alarm management and reduction strategies can be achieved, that exactly fit the needs of each part of a building. An optional AlarmCalm button allows trained occupants to verify if they believe a local fire signal is a false alarm too – a highly effective way of eliminating unwanted alarms.
