BIM objects for fire panels

Available to download for free from the library, the new data-rich BIM objects allow the very latest in fire systems technology from Advanced to be easily incorporated into a 3D building model by specifiers, architects and contractors using BIM building practices.

John Newton, head of products and services at Advanced, said: “As a tool for architects, engineers and other specifiers, BIM is transforming the way buildings are designed. We have always understood the need to evolve with new technology for the benefit of our customers and decided to invest in BIM objects to make our products more accessible to architects and designers and to further extend the visibility of our brand.

“Within weeks of going live on the NBS National BIM Library we saw significant interest and uptake in our BIM objects from customers across Europe, North America and the Middle East. With fire safety, in particular, being such a vital requirement in public and commercial building projects it makes sense to incorporate the latest technology into the design.”

Included in Advanced’s range of BIM objects is the flagship MxPro 5 range, approved to EN54-2,4 &13 and avaliable in one-to-eight-loop variants as standard, with further custom-build options available. It is easily configured into high speed, 200 panel peer-peer networks, covering huge areas and tens of thousands of field devices. It includes high performance repeaters and remote control terminals with a range of different control and indicating options, including Advanced’s TouchControl touchscreen repeater that features Active Maps and zone plans.
