London City Airport has recently opened a new simulation training room, mirroring its fire system which features panels from the manufacturer Advanced.
The airport at the former Royal Docks in Newham already has Advanced’s MxPro panels; and the new training room will allow staff to learn their use and explore various scenarios in a controlled and isolated environment.
The training room incorporates a two loop MxPro 4 panel and graphic package that will allow the staff to receive necessary training in the use of the airport systems. Robin Kemp, Advanced’s sales manager for the south east region, said: “With Advanced panels already installed in London City Airport, the addition of the training room and the MxPro 4 panel for training purposes allows staff at the airport to be trained in the latest aspects of fire safety. In a 24-hour facility, it’s hard to do training using the main system, so this means that all types of incident can be mocked up without inconveniencing passengers.”
MxPro as a multiprotocol fire product offers customers a choice of two panel ranges, four detector protocols and an open installer network that enjoys free training and support. MxPro panels can be used in single loop, single panel format or easily configured into multi-loop, 200 panel networks covering thousands of field devices, the makers say. MxPro 4 is compliant with EN54 Parts 2 and 4, and backed up with customer care and technical support. The MxPro 5 is Advanced’s highest performance analogue panel. It is EN54 2, 4 and 13 approved and is backward compatible with MxPro 4.
