UK-based fire detection specialist Advanced has launched SmokeGo, a new smoke control system designed to provide compliant smoke management through Control & Indicating Equipment (CIE).
The launch comes amid increased scrutiny of smoke control performance and compliance across the UK construction and fire safety sectors, particularly in complex and high-risk buildings.
Approved to EN 54 Parts 2 and 4, SmokeGo is designed to comply with ISO 21927-9 and BS 7346-8 standards.
The system, available for the UK market, integrates with Advanced’s MxPro 5 fire panels, enabling both automatic and manual control of fans and dampers.
SmokeGo supports up to 15 fan and damper switch cards per P-Bus and can be scaled further using PENN or additional panels, making it suitable for projects of varying sizes.
Each switch card can control up to six individual fans and dampers, allowing flexible smoke compartment management and manual override options.
The control system has been designed to support faster configuration and commissioning. Configuration is handled via Advanced’s software, which pre-allocates inputs and outputs for fan and damper control and automatically applies required feedback delays, simplifying system setup.
Additional features include cascade mode to manage smoke spread across compartments, automatic stairwell pressurisation, post-alarm purge functions, and interlocks to ensure dampers are open before fans are activated, helping to prevent duct over-pressurisation.
Automatic testing can also be scheduled to support regulatory compliance while reducing maintenance visits.
SmokeGo is intended for use in applications including high-rise residential buildings, commercial developments, healthcare facilities and mixed-use projects.
Smoke control system with custom options
SmokeGo is also available as a custom panel option through Advanced’s AdSpecials service, offering tailored enclosures, interfaces and finishes for site-specific requirements.
Automatic testing can also be scheduled to support regulatory compliance while reducing maintenance visits.
