Advanced MxPro 4 Fire Panel Manuals
Free PDF manuals for the Advanced MxPro 4 series — the legacy addressable fire alarm panel from Advanced Electronics, still in active service across thousands of UK buildings. The MxPro 4 was the predecessor to the current MxPro 5 platform but remains a workhorse for maintenance, retrofit and small-system installations.

About the MxPro 4 platform
The MxPro 4 is a multi-protocol addressable panel supporting Apollo and Hochiki devices on the same loop. Typical configurations support 1 to 4 loops per panel cabinet with networking via fault-tolerant copper (NC mode) or fibre. The platform is still widely supported by Advanced for spare parts, although new installations now default to MxPro 5.
Key MxPro 4 features
- 1 to 4 loops per cabinet, up to 200 devices per loop
- Multi-protocol Apollo and Hochiki support
- Networking up to 200 panels via FT (fault-tolerant) or NC modes
- 4-line backlit LCD with menu navigation
- Modular slot-in cards for loop drivers, sounder circuits and network
- Cause-and-effect programming via PC software
- Integration with TouchControl repeaters and LifeLine voice evac modules
MxPro 4 vs MxPro 5
If you are working on a new installation, you should be specifying MxPro 5 rather than MxPro 4. MxPro 5 is fully backward-compatible with MxPro 4 cause-and-effect logic and supports a superset of device protocols. The MxPro 4 manuals here are kept available specifically for engineers maintaining or modifying existing MxPro 4 systems.
Advanced fire panel training
BH Courses offer structured Advanced fire panel commissioning training covering both legacy MxPro 4 maintenance and current MxPro 5 commissioning workflows. The same DynamixTools software is used across both platforms.
