PANEL ARCHITECTURE

High-performance, modular by design.

The 2X-A and 2X-AT panels combine loop capacity with a modular expansion architecture that grows with the site.

Up to 8 Loops

Multiple loop card options: up to 8 standard (500mA) loops, or up to 5 high-power (1A) loops.

Modular CAN Bus Expansion

2 slots by default, expandable to 5 with an accessory board — built for future expansion, not just today's spec.

EN54 Compliant, Networkable

The 2X-A panel is EN54 compliant, expandable up to 4 loops and networkable with up to 64 panels.

Maximum Backup Time

Internal batteries of up to 24Ah, with optional external batteries up to 65Ah for extended backup.

Multiple Connectivity Options

4G, serial and Ethernet IP connectivity enable remote access, diagnostics, maintenance and operation — minimising site visits.

Backward Compatible

Full backward compatibility with Aritech series, plus migration options for older product ranges.

WHY INSTALLERS CHOOSE IT

Tight integration. Smart devices. One system.

Built around five real installer priorities, not just a spec sheet.

Tight Integration

Seamless integration with building management systems, PAVA and extinguishing systems via multiple connectivity options.

Future-Proof, Independent of Legacy

A platform built to keep working — and keep expanding — long after today's spec is finalised.

Smart Panel, Smart Devices, Smart Services

The panel, its devices and its remote services platform are designed as one connected system, not bolted together.

360° Solution

From detection through to remote diagnostics and predictive maintenance, in one platform.

EXCELLENCE SERIES DEVICES
