Intelligent Single Loop Fire Alarm Control Panel - Not Available for Sale

Axis AX is built on years of technology leadership in the intelligent fire systems market and it is used across the globe in some of the most challenging and prestigious locations. Axis AX is Advanced's highest performing UL 864 compliant panel range and comes complete with digital audio.

The state of the art Axis AX single loop panel is available in two configurations, the compact AX-CTL-1 and the standard sized AX-CTL-1L. The single loop panel contains the same features as the 2 loop and 4 loop Axis AX panels, and is ideally suited to smaller applications. However, as a member of the Axis AX Series, it can be easily utilized in larger applications due to its integral peer-to-peer networking capabilities. 

Designed with installation and service engineers in mind, the AX-CTL-1 (1L) intelligent panel is modularly packaged, using surface mount and dual flash microprocessor technology, with onboard real time clocks for ease of installation, troubleshooting, programming and maintenance.

The AX-CTL-1 (1L) Intelligent Single Loop Fire Alarm Control Panel provides a single Style 4 or Style 6/7 Signaling Line Circuit (SLC). Communications to the field devices attached to the SLC is via an advanced, 100% digital protocol with advantages of being highly immune to noisy environments. 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, unique sub-addressing of various input and/or output devices is permitted, expanding on overall AXCTL-1 (1L) system capacity.

The AX-CTL-1 (1L) comes with two filtered, 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 most Listed notification appliance devices.

The AX-CTL-1 (1L) intelligent panel has resettable and non-resettable power outputs; each rated .5 Amp @ 24 VDC, for connection to four-wire conventional smoke detectors and/or ancillary devices. Each AX-CTL-1 (1L) contains three, field programmable, Form “C” relays, each rated 1 Amp @ 30 VDC, defaulted as a fail-safe trouble relay, alarm relay, and supervisory relay.

Simplifying and reducing initial system set-up, each AX-CTL-1 (1L) Intelligent Single Loop Fire Alarm Control Panel is equipped with an installer-friendly “Auto-Learn/ Loop Detection” feature that permits the rapid recognition of all signaling line circuit devices. This rapid recognition simplifies the assignment of critical life safety functions immediately. Assignments include: intelligent detector type and operation criteria, addressable input device recognition as an alarm input and addressable output control on a general alarm basis.

The AX-CTL-1 (1L) intelligent panels are fully field programmable via the onboard graphical LCD display and alphanumeric keypad. Front panel programming may encompass defining input to output relationships, configuring output circuit characteristics, entering zone, device, and other text descriptions, and configuring multiple user-access passwords.

To maximize the capability and flexibility of the AX-CTL-1 (1L) Intelligent Single Loop Fire Alarm Control Panel and to expand upon the customization of an installation, the Advanced Windows based PC-NeT field configuration tool is available. The PC-NeT field configuration tool is a powerful, user-friendly programming tool that allows users to perform virtually any I/O relationship with multiple criteria. Simple drop-down menus with point-and-click operation make project commissioning and troubleshooting fast and efficient.

Designed with the technician in mind, each module of the AX-CTL-1 (1L) intelligent panel is easy to install and service. The integral power supply offers status LEDs, temperature compensated charging, and the ability to operate directly from the batteries when AC supply is not yet available at the installation site. A unique built-in intelligent multi-meter allows technicians to interrogate any input and/or output and diagnose potential time consuming trouble issues with virtually no complications or aggravation. With an AX-CTL-1 (1L) intelligent panel, servicing a customer after installation can be as simple as using the Advanced Remote Diagnostic Virtual Panel Simulator and/or ipGateway (AX-LAN). The simulator can be activated from any Windows based PC and connected to the installation site via a dedicated modem.

The Remote Diagnostic Virtual Panel Simulator, emulates the on-site control panel LCD and keypad in real time from an off-site location. The simulator is an incredibly powerful tool for diagnosing and troubleshooting site applications. The ipGateway (AX-LAN) provides real time text and email alerts of system status.
