 The Worldwide Fire System
The Professional Choice
Axis AX is our solution for customers demanding a high performance
UL 864 based fire protection system.

Axis AX is built on years of leadership in the intelligent fire systems

market. It is widely installed across the globe in some of the most
challenging and prestigious locations.

Axis AX is a complete system of high performance fire panels,

audio systems, command centers and high performance devices.
At its core are intelligent single and multi-
loop networkable fire alarm control panels
with a complete range of intelligent SLC
loop devices, extensive peripherals, NAC
and conventional devices.

6
Axis AX includes multi-channel audio with messages
built into each node and synchronization of audio
and NAC devices per panel across the network, with
complete system redundancy.
It offers multiple command center performance,
telephones, smoke and fan control, mass notification,
graphical control and BMS interfacing.

Axis AX is designed to go anywhere you need high quality,

reliable and easy to use fire detection and control, from
mass transportation and industrial complexes to landmark
developments, historic buildings and public services.

Command Centers
Axis AX Command Centers are built on the backbone of our Axis intelligent fire panels to support a wide variety
of configurations and applications.
Command Centers can be configured in the factory or, as all elements are individually approved, supplied in modular format for easy
expansion and customization. All of our Command Centers are fully compatible with Axis AX audio and telephone options. Command centers
can be configured for master control or peer-to-peer. Master control mode allows only one command center to manually operate audio and
main system control functions. Advanced’s Riser 6 Audio Module can be mounted inside the command center or remotely for added security.
