BS8629:2019 is the new Code of Practice for the design, installation, commissioning and maintenance of evacuation alert systems for use by fire and rescue services in buildings containing flats. Advanced's evacuation alert system has been developed with great care to follow all the recommendations of BS8629:2019. Combining robustness and reliability with speed and simplicity, our evacuation alert system comes in a range of flexible formats with wired, wireless and hybrid options available.

The EvacGo panel is built using our industry-leading MxPro 5 panel technology and delivers proven performance, quality and ease of use. The panel is supplied with 8, 16, 24 or 32 fire fighter evacuation alert zones as standard, and is fully expandable from 1 to 4 loops. The panel includes the latest flash-based microprocessor technology and provides a simple, 'at a glance' overview of which evacuation zones are operating. The panel has a virtual display which enables the maintenance engineer to work remotely.

Outer cabinet:

The Advanced EvacGo panel is supplied with the additional protection of an STS 205 BR2-rated high-tensile steel cabinet and should be sited at an appropriate location suitable for fire fighter access. The front of the cabinet is clearly labelled 'For Fire and Rescue Service Only'. The cabinet incorporates a high-security locking mechanism with unique copy-protected keys that are carried by the FRS.

PC software:

An extensive suite of user-friendly Windows-based PC software programs has been developed to enhance your experience when using EACIE panels. The suite incorporates a number of different programmes to include configuration, service and maintenance reports, and virtual terminal-type tools to allow the flexibility of the equipment to be fully explored.

Network:

Simply adding a network card allows the panel to communicate with any other MxPro 5 fire panel or network peripherals. The network operates as a true peer-to-peer system and can be configured in a fault-tolerant network format.
