Advanced Electronics intelligent control panels have been installed in a new film studio complex in Belgrade as part of their fire protection system.
The newly constructed studio, owned by Pink Films International (PFI), covers 42 acres on the outskirts of Belgrade and consists of 360,000 square feet of multi-story buildings, which are home to nine sound stages.
The new system, which was designed and installed by Almaks Security Systems, consists of seven Mx-4201 multi-loop control panels and a repeater panel, interfaced to over 380 Nittan fire detectors and devices. The extensive cause and effect features of the Mx-4201 panels are used to provide phased evacuation of the buildings and control of the heating and ventilation system for smoke control in the event of a fire.
Commenting
Almaksโ Business Manager, Uros Maksimovic said, โWe have been a long-term business partner with Advanced Electronics and know they provide excellent support. The Mx-4000 family of panels are very reliable and provide the sophisticated programming features and networking capability that was required for the PFI project.โ
The control panels are all interconnected using Ad-NeT+, Advancedโs fault tolerant network. Ad-NeT+ is capable of withstanding a single fault between nodes without loss of communications to any single panel. Up to 200 panels (nodes) can be connected on the network with a total loop length of 20Km, using standard two-core fire resistant cable. The network in the PFI Studios allows the status of the 380+ devices to be interrogated on any of the fire panels.
