Introducing the Next-Generation MxPro 5 and Axis EN Fire Panels: Enhanced Performance and Versatility

Acorn Fire & Security are thrilled to introduce the latest enhancements to Advanced’s trusted MxPro 5 and Axis EN fire panel ranges! Designed to build on the robust foundations of these established systems, the updates aim to deliver significant boosts in performance, versatility, and ease of use—offering an even higher level of safety and peace of mind for users.

Power and Performance: Upgraded for Greater Reliability

Powered by a state-of-the-art processor, the enhanced panels deliver eight times the processing power of previous models. This upgrade allows for:

• Faster response times, making critical adjustments in real-time for enhanced safety.

• Improved system reliability, minimising downtime and ensuring consistent operation.

• Greater capacity for complex installations, making it easier than ever to manage larger, more sophisticated networks.

This upgrade brings a significant boost in performance, with faster power-up times and greatly reduced configuration transfer durations. Plus, enhanced configuration capabilities, mean support for even more complex cause-and-effect programming. These improvements make it easier than ever to manage larger and more advanced fire safety systems.

Redesigned Power Supply for Enhanced Compatibility and Battery Life

The next-generation panels feature an upgraded power supply unit, crafted to be:

• Easier to replace, reducing maintenance time and complexity.

• More compatible with third-party equipment, allowing smoother integration with other safety components.

• Extended in battery life, so the panels can function longer during power outages, ensuring uninterrupted protection when it's needed most.

This new power supply design offers superior support and reliability, making the MxPro 5 and Axis EN panels an ideal choice for installations where long-term dependability is paramount.

Meet ConfigTool (PC-Net-022): The Intuitive New Programming Tool

Alongside hardware upgrades, Advanced have introduced the ConfigTool (PC-Net-022), an innovative programming tool that significantly enhances the user experience. With its simple to use interface and streamlined navigation, the ConfigTool simplifies programming and setup, allowing for configuration transfers up to ten times faster than before. Now, users can transfer configurations typically in less than 30 seconds, drastically reducing setup time and making system adjustments a breeze.

Built-in Ethernet Port for Advanced Monitoring with AdvancedLive

For MxPro 5 customers in the UK and Ireland, the next-generation panels come with the added advantage of seamless connectivity to the AdvancedLive smart fire system monitoring and management tool. Thanks to the built-in Ethernet port, connecting to AdvancedLive is straightforward, providing real-time insights and remote access to system status, alerts, and maintenance needs.

Open-Protocol Support for Leading Brands

To provide even more flexibility in system design, the MxPro 5 continues to offer open-protocol support for major wired and wireless brands, including Hochiki, Argus, Nittan, and Apollo (now with Core protocol support) bringing greater system design flexibility to meet the requirements of a wide variety of sites.

Fully Backward Compatible

The next-generation MxPro 5 and Axis EN panels are fully backward-compatible with existing models, enabling straightforward and cost-effective upgrades to current systems. While the panels maintain their recognisable external design and part numbers for seamless integration, their internal components have been refined to support the new enhancements.
