SmokeGo smoke control panel introduced by Advanced

Developed to afford specifiers, installers and end users a smarter and more intuitive way in which to achieve smoke control in a wide range of buildings, SmokeGo is purpose-designed to make smoke control simpler, faster and fully compliant. From dedicated to non-dedicated smoke control systems, SmokeGo makes configuration and operation quicker, clearer and easier.

Integrating seamlessly with Advanced’s next generation MxPro 5 fire panels, SmokeGo allows precise control over smoke fans and dampers, both automatically and manually.

Thanks to Advanced’s four-step configuration process and matrix-based programming, even complex set-ups can be completed in a fraction of the time that’s traditionally required, replacing complex coding (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 module or additional panels.

SmokeGo supports the control of up to six individual fans and dampers per switch card, in turn offering extensive flexibility for manual override and smoke compartment management.

Realising complete confidence for end users in terms of performance and compliance, SmokeGo meets the highest industry standards with approvals to EN 54 Parts 2 and 4 and full compliance with ISO 21927-9 and BS 7346-8.

Greater scrutiny

Shaun Scott, applications engineer at Advanced, informed Fire Safety Matters: “As fire safety regulation drives greater scrutiny of smoke control, SmokeGo offers a smarter and more intuitive way in which to achieve compliant smoke management by facilitating the seamless integration of smoke control and fire systems. SmokeGo combines powerful functionality with ease of use, helping specifiers, installers and maintenance engineers alike to achieve complete smoke control without complexity.”

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 (ie programming), duly rendering the commissioning process faster and more straightforward.

Additional features include cascade mode for managing smoke spread across compartments, post-alarm purge functions and interlocks to ensure that dampers are open before fans activate, helping to prevent the over-pressurisation of ducts.

Automatic testing can also be scheduled to meet regulatory requirements, while reducing engineer call-outs and operational disruption.

For customers requiring tailored solutions, SmokeGo is also available as a custom panel option through Advanced’s AdSpecials service. From bespoke housings and interface layouts to custom finishes and environmental protection, Advanced’s in-house engineers will work with customers to deliver a solution that’s made to measure for a given site.
