FireSecure Studio release

FireSecure Studio 0.4.1 Preview

Adds automatic Apollo loop loading calculations and the Apollo electrical library, and rebuilds output group schedules around the devices that actually trigger and operate.

Preview 20 July 2026

What’s new

  • Automatic Apollo loop quiescent-current, maximum-current and EDL calculations from imported Advanced MxPro configurations
  • Embedded Apollo electrical library sourced from Apollo Loop Calculator 3
  • Searchable Apollo device library with SKU, electrical model, operating-current and active-current information
  • Apollo Loop Power dashboard with project totals, per-loop summaries and an itemised physical-device breakdown
  • Professional PDF export for Apollo loop calculations and device breakdowns

Improvements

  • Output group schedules now list only output devices assigned directly to each output group
  • Zone-targeted output group lines include the applicable zone names and their actual input devices
  • Apollo multi-point devices are counted once per physical loop address while retaining their combined zones and locations
  • Device schedules include Apollo quiescent current, maximum active current and EDL values
  • Apollo library tables now resize responsively with the application window

Fixes

  • Removed zone output devices that were incorrectly presented as being triggered by output group input lines
  • Prevented sounders and other output-only devices from appearing in applicable zone-input lists
  • Corrected Apollo library detail-table columns that could collapse, clip text or leave unused space

Known issues

  • Apollo devices without an authoritative electrical-model mapping remain itemised but are excluded from calculated loop totals
  • SKF Compare remains a trial feature and comparison results should be reviewed before being relied upon for commissioning or change-control decisions
  • Automatic panel configuration analysis currently supports Advanced MxPro SKF files only
  • Configuration QA findings, loop calculations and generated test packs remain subject to engineering review against the approved design and commissioning procedure
  • The application is currently distributed as preview software
