Advanced has introduced SmokeGo, a new control panel that offers complete and active smoke management. Developed to give specifiers, installers and end users a smarter and more intuitive way to achieve smoke control in a wide range of buildings, it is designed to make the process simpler, while being fully compliant.
Giving users complete confidence in performance, SmokeGo meets the highest industry standards with approvals to EN54 Parts 2 and 4, and full compliance with ISO 21927-9 and BS 7346-8. From dedicated to non-dedicated smoke control systems, it makes configuration and operation quicker, clearer and easier. Integrating seamlessly with Advanced’s MxPro 5 fire panels, SmokeGo allows precise control over smoke fans and dampers, both automatically and manually.
Thanks to Advanced’s unique four step configuration process and matrix-based programming, even complex set-ups can be completed in a fraction of the time traditionally required, replacing complex programming. Ideal for projects of all sizes, SmokeGo features built-in compatibility for up to 15 fan and damper switch cards per P-Bus and can scale further via the Advanced peripheral expansion network node (PENN) module or additional panels. SmokeGo supports the control of up to six individual fans and dampers per switch card, offering extensive flexibility for manual override and smoke compartment management.
Advanced’s software wizard handles the configuration of inputs and outputs, pre-allocating I/O modules for fan and damper control and automatically applying the necessary feedback delays. Combined with easy cause and effect programming, SmokeGo removes the need for specialist coding, making commissioning faster and more straightforward.
Shaun Scott, Applications Engineer at Advanced, said:
‘As fire safety regulation drives greater scrutiny of smoke control, SmokeGo offers a smarter, more intuitive way to achieve compliant smoke management by allowing seamless integration of smoke control and fire systems. SmokeGo combines powerful functionality with ease of use, helping specifiers, installers and maintenance engineers achieve complete smoke control without complexity, while giving peace of mind.’
