hree next-generation Advanced MxPro 5 fire panels have been installed across a multi-building residential development on Westminster Bridge Road, London, delivering reliable protection for residents.


Located in the heart of London, just minutes from Waterloo Station, the Westminster Bridge Road


development comprises three residential buildings, each containing a mix of private flats and houses of multiple occupancy (HMOs). The properties share some facilities and services, presenting specific fire safety challenges, particularly


around retained gas infrastructure. As a result, carbon monoxide detection was also required to safeguard against potential leaks into occupied areas. Integrated Fire Safety Systems Ltd (IFSS) was responsible for all aspects of the fire alarm installation


across the buildings. The team designed a Category L2 fire system using three Advanced MxPro 5 single-loop panels, each managing 24 devices including multisensors and detectors. To ensure the remote monitoring provider could identify which of the three buildings a fire signal originated from, IFSS configured the system to transmit clear, building-specific information via a GSM monitoring unit. As the panels were not networked, precise configuration was essential to ensure the fire service could respond quickly and accurately in the event of an alarm. Wayne Stanley, Project Manager at IFSS, said: “Advanced is my go-to for fire panels. They're user friendly, easy to install, and look great on the wall. The MxPro 5 is a durable and well-designed panel that gives us the flexibility we need on more complex installations like this one.” Salvy Vittozzi, Sales Manager for the South East at Advanced, added: “This project highlights the


strengths of our next-generation MxPro 5 panels in adapting to more complex residential layouts. With standalone configuration, CO detection and clear signal identification needed across three separate buildings, the panel’s flexible programming and wide device compatibility provided the ideal solution to meet both the installer’s and the client’s requirements.” The next-generation MxPro 5 panels installed at Westminster Bridge Road offer enhanced


performance and flexibility. With a more powerful processor for faster response times, improved configuration options, and expanded protocol compatibility, the system was ideally suited to meet the project’s technical demands, particularly the need for precise, standalone panel configuration. The next-generation MxPro 5 is Advanced’s flagship multiprotocol fire panel, certified by FM


Approvals to EN 54 Parts 2 and 4. Renowned for its performance, flexibility and ease of use, MxPro 5 supports up to 200 networked panels and is compatible with a wide range of wired and wireless devices. Its powerful AlarmCalm false alarm management options, makes it ideal for complex residential or commercial applications. The latest upgrades to the panel bring enhanced configuration capabilities, faster processing power,


and built-in Ethernet for easy connection to the AdvancedLive smart management platform. This makes accessing real-time system information, managing incidents remotely, and supporting proactive maintenance simpler than ever – directly from any internet-enabled device.
