One of Serbia’s most prestigious higher education institutions is now protected by a network of MxPro 5 fire panels from global systems leader, Advanced.

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 fabric and authenticity of its 1920s building. This meant overcoming various challenges presented by outdated construction methods, inaccessible voids and high ceilings.

Advanced’s local partner in Serbia, TVI Ltd, installed a network of three Advanced MxPro 5 fire panels, linked to 1,000 Argus detectors, covering the facilities of Civil Design, Mechanical and Electrical Engineering.

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.
