Intelligent 2 & 4 Loop Fire Alarm Control Panels

Advanced has combined the latest

technology with many years of fire
experience, to create the AxisAX Series
Intelligent Fire Alarm Control Panels. The
panels are highly flexible and ideally
suited to meet the needs of virtually any
commercial, industrial or institutional
application. The AxisAX Series Intelligent
Fire Alarm Control Panels are available in
two standard models, the AX-CTL-2 and
AX-CTL-4. Modular construction permits
field configuration of a panel(s) to suit
specific installation requirements.

Designed with installation and service

highly immune to noisy environments and
will operate over non-shielded cable
without causing interference problems
with sensitive electronic equipment. The
SLC supports up to 126 analog
addressable devices (any combination of
intelligent detectors, input and/or output
devices, including loop powered
technology devices). In addition, our
unique sub-addressing of various input
and/or output devices permits expanding
system capacities further.

The AX-CTL-2 also comes with two filter,

voltage regulated Notification Appliance
Circuits (NACs), Class A or B, each rated
2 Amp @ 24 VDC. Due to exceptional
regulation and high rating, the onboard
NAC outputs provide compatibility with
virtually any Listed notification appliance.
