One of Britain’s most prestigious luxury hotels, De Vere Venues Heythrop Park in Oxfordshire has selected high performance fire panels from Advanced for a complete replacement of its existing hotel fire system.

The contract for the new system was awarded to the team at Trinity Fire & Security Systems, who specified the latest MxPro 5 fire panels from Advanced to form the core of the new system. The MxPro 5 fire panels are the leading multiprotocol choice in the industry and are renowned for their world-beating quality, reliability and flexibility.

The historic mansion at Heythrop Park was built in the early-1700s by Charles Talbot, 1st Duke of Shrewsbury and rebuilt again following a devastating fire in 1831. It is now protected by two networked MxPro 5 panels controlling 10 loops and supporting more than 700 individual devices. As one of England’s premier country house hotels, the building required a fire system that offers maximum peace of mind to our customers and staff, while also being as unobtrusive and reliable as possible in day to day use. The management felt the MxPro 5 range met these criteria perfectly, while also being simple to set up and control.

MxPro offers 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 high speed, 200 panel networks covering huge areas. Advanced’s legendary ease of installation and configuration and wide peripheral range make it customisable to almost any application. At Heythrop this includes the historic mansion and former stables, with an option to extend the system to the adjoining Heythrop Park Resort in the future.
