Why modernize your fire alarm system?
Current system head-end uses outdated microprocessor technology
The components used in legacyfire alarm systems become difficultto secure
Replacement parts become more expensive or unobtainable
Fire alarm system down for long periods of time
Cost to maintain existing system increases

Features and Advantages
MXL Line Card that allows XLS to communicate to existing MXL devices
Cost effective solution for replacing installed MXL systems due to ability to keep existing field devices and wiring
Enclosure adapters that allow XLS components to fit into existing panel and remote annunciator back boxes
Use of existing back box eliminates an additional cut-out in the wall
Ability to import MXL device custom message database into XLS programming tool which reduces programming time and labor costs.
Overall, less downtime for fire alarm system during migration
