Single Loop Fire Alarm Control Panel

The AX-CTL-1C is a member of the industry leading Axis AX

product family. The AX-CTL-1C is a small, compact single loop
fire alarm control panel for use in cost sensitive fire alarm
installations, where less than 126 addressable points are
required. The AX-CTL-1C contains all of the same features as
the Advanced AX- CTL-1L, AX-CTL-2 and AX-CTL-4 intelligent
fire alarm control panels however in a small compact enclosure.
As a member of the Axis AX product line the AX-CTL- 1C can
easily be utilized in larger applications due to its optional
peer-to-peer networking capabilities.

Designed with installation and service engineers in mind, the

AX-CTL-1C single loop fire alarm control 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.
Features
The AX-CTL-1C provides a single Style 4 or Style 6/7 Signaling
Line Circuit (SLC). Communications to the field devices attached 126 Analog Addressable Points
to the SLC is via an advanced, 100% digital protocol with
advantages of being highly immune to noisy environments. The Advanced User Interface w/Graphical LCD
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 Synchronized Audible and Visual NAC Circuits

Superior Service & Maintenance Diagnostics
The AX-CTL-1C comes with two filtered, voltage regulated
Notification Appliance Circuits (NACs), Class A or B, each rated AD-NeT-PluS Peer-to-Peer Networking
2 Amp @ 24 VDC. Due to exceptional regulation and high rating,
the onboard NAC outputs provide compatibility with most listed Automatic Drift Compensation per Detector
notification appliance devices.

recognition as an alarm input and addressable output control on
a general alarm basis.
