Alarm verification has more accurate timings
If a detector has alarm verification enabled, the verification countdown timer will start when the device reaches high-alarm. Previously, this countdown timer would start when the device enters pre-alarm state. This improves the accuracy of the alarm verification timer.
Standard network establishes quicker
When Gen 1 and Gen 2 panels are networked as part of a standard network, there is no longer a delay in the network establishing, and network faults are now not displayed during this time. In addition, the standard network has been improved so it can establish a connection faster and before network faults are […]
Apollo Soteria Synchronisation
When Apollo Soteria sounder bases and beacon bases are in the same output group, the beacons will now synchronise with the sounders and activate at the same time. Previously, the beacon bases were delayed in turning on until after the sounders had activated.
Device text is now logged for network events
Networked panels will now log device text against events which originated on a panel across the network. Historically, the device text was only logged for local activations.
Clearer ‘Devices Initialising’ indication until devices report normal
After a panel re-boot, when the panel is in normal operation without any faults, ‘Device Initialising’ is displayed next to the devices when in the ‘View’ menu. Previously, as soon as an event came through, ‘Device Initialising’ would disappear and the device status would change to show the event. To improve visibility, ‘Device Initialising’ will […]
Improved “New Device” fault reporting
MxPro 5 and Axis EN panels allow you to change the loop numbers for easier fault finding and reporting. For example, on a 4-loop panel, the loops will be numbered from 1-4 as default but can be changed to loop numbers 5-8. Now, if the loops are re-numbered, a ‘New Device’ fault will consistently show […]
AV wireless translators and expanders show as radio interfaces
When AV protocol panels are using wireless devices, the wireless translator consistently reports as a radio interface. This update addresses a radio interface occasionally reporting as a zone monitor.
Correct fault states on Apollo wireless devices
Apollo wireless sounder bases and relay modules now consistently report the correct battery fault messages. This update addresses cases where a battery fault would display as a generic device fault. Accurate device states now show on the panel display and in the log.
Easier AdvancedLive connection
You no longer need a ‘LiveMod’ and BMS interface to connect to AdvancedLive. MxPro 5 Gen 2 base cards have AdvancedLive connectivity built in via Ethernet, so you only need a single node on the network to establish an AdvancedLive connection. We’ve also improved connection stability.
