Introducing SmokeGo: Complete Smoke Control Made Simple

We’re pleased to announce the launch of SmokeGo, our powerful new smoke control solution designed to offer complete, compliant smoke management through your CIE (Control & Indicating Equipment), without the complexity.

SmokeGo has been developed to give specifiers, installers and end users a smarter, more intuitive way to achieve smoke control in a wide range of buildings. From dedicated to non-dedicated smoke control systems, SmokeGo makes configuration and operation quicker, clearer and easier.

Designed to integrate seamlessly with Advanced’s next-generation MxPro 5 fire panels, SmokeGo allows both automatic and manual control of smoke control fans and dampers.

Thanks to our unique four-step configuration process and matrix-based programming, even complex setups can be configured in a fraction of the time traditionally required.

With built-in compatibility for up to 15 fan and damper switch cards per P-Bus, and, scalable further via PENN or additional panels, SmokeGo is ideal for projects of all sizes. It supports the control of up to six individual fans and dampers per switch card, offering extensive flexibility for manual override and smoke compartment management.

SmokeGo has been approved to EN 54 Parts 2 and 4 and is designed to comply with ISO 21927-9 and BS 7346-8 smoke control standards, giving users complete confidence in performance and compliance.

Advanced’s software wizard handles the configuration of inputs and outputs, pre-allocating I/O modules for fan and damper control and automatically applying the necessary feedback delays. Combined with easy cause and effect programming, SmokeGo removes the need for specialist coding, making commissioning faster and more straightforward.

Additional features include cascade mode for managing smoke spread across compartments, automatic stairwell pressurisation, post-alarm purge functions and interlocks to ensure dampers are open before fans activate, helping to prevent over-pressurisation of ducts. Automatic testing can also be scheduled, meeting regulatory requirements while reducing engineer callouts and operational disruption.

For customers needing tailored solutions, SmokeGo is also available as a custom panel option through our AdSpecials service. From bespoke housings and interface layouts to custom finishes and environmental protection, our in-house engineers will work with you to deliver a solution that’s made to measure for your site.
