Advanced MxPro 4 Technical Manual

The MxPro 4 Technical Manual is the official Advanced Electronics installation and commissioning reference for the MxPro 4 addressable fire alarm panel. It covers the full lifecycle from physical mounting through to programmed cause-and-effect, networking and end-user handover.

What the manual covers

• Panel mounting, AC mains wiring, battery sizing for 24h standby + 30 min alarm
• Loop topology — Apollo and Hochiki addressable device wiring, line isolators
• Sounder and beacon circuit wiring (NAC outputs)
• Auxiliary I/O and relay configuration for plant interfaces
• Network setup using FT (fault-tolerant) or NC (network copper) modes
• Cause-and-effect programming using the Advanced PC tool
• Fault diagnostics for common loop, network and power faults
• Walk test procedures and commissioning sign-off paperwork

Who should use this manual

This manual is for fire alarm installers and commissioning engineers working on existing MxPro 4 panels. It assumes familiarity with EN 54 / BS 5839-1 commissioning principles and addressable fire system design.

Advanced fire panel training

This manual works best alongside structured commissioning training. BH Courses run an Advanced fire panel commissioning programme that covers MxPro 4 maintenance scenarios alongside MxPro 5 commissioning — useful if your engineering remit covers both legacy and current installations.
