1. Drive Your Business Forward with the MXL to XLS Migration Solution

2. Introduction of MXL to XLS migration Siemens has released for sale the MXL to FireFinder XLS total migration solution with product scheduled to be on the shelf no later than February 1, 2012.
3. Topics Why migrate existing installations? Advantages of Siemens MXL to XLS migration solution What MXL installations should be targeted for migration? Sales and marketing resources Product demonstration
4. Why start the rollout now? Customer awareness of the ability to migrate Protection of your installed base Sales cycle can take up to 18 months Customer needs time to plan for upgrade Must align with customer budget cycle / funding ability
5. Why migrating MXL systems is a good business opportunity It is estimated that over 70,000 MXL systems have been sold since MXL was introduced in 1992 Early installed systems are prime candidates for migration Minimizes competition via cost and time effective solution Profitable business and a win-win solution (sales outlet and end user)
6. How do you convince a customer to modernize a system? The components used in legacy fire alarm systems become difficult to secure, resulting in higher maintenance costs Replacement parts become more expensive or unobtainable Fire alarm system down for long periods of time Siemens provides a cost effective migration solution to modernize the fire alarm system in phases while staying within the customer’s budget FireFinder XLS uses more advanced technology FireFinder XLS is an enabler for future technology
7. Features of the MXL to XLS migration solution A comprehensive smooth migration solution MXL Line Card (MLC) that allows XLS to communicate to existing ALD devices Enclosure adapters that allow XLS components to fit into existing MXL and MXL-IQ backboxes MSE-2, MSE-2R, MME-3, MME-3R, MBR-2, MLE-6, MLE-6R, MSE-3M, MSE-3MR, MSE-3L, MSE-3LR Enclosure adapters that allow SSD to fit into remote annunciator backboxes RCC-1, RCC-3, RCC-3R, RCC-1F, RCC-3F, RCC-3FR Ability to import MXL device custom message database into XLS programming tool which reduces programming time
8. Advantages Competitive cost advantage for replacement of installed MXL systems due to ability to keep existing field devices and wiring Less downtime for fire alarm system during migration Ability to use existing backbox which eliminates an additional cut-out in the wall Reduced programming time, reduces labor costs Gets the customer’s solution accomplished faster than any competitor’s approach Advanced system with improved response time that is easier to maintain
9. MXL configurations to target Single node MXL MXL-IQs without high levelVESDA interface Single node MXL with transponders Single node MXLV voicewith transponders Networked MXLs MXL to XLS interpanel logic is not supported (proper planning is required)
10. MXL with XLDs XLD Loops are required to be replaced with DLCs and H series devices Please consult Florham Park to ensure DLC and MLC circuits can be run in the same conduit DLC could cause noise on the MLC circuit with distances over 2000 ft when unshielded, untwisted wire is used!
11. MXL configurations to not target at this time MXL-IQs with high level VESDA interface Networked MXLVs with RCMs MXLVs with more than 4 prerecorded digital messages or spoken zone coding MXL(V)s connected to Apogee Insight MXLs connected to NCC-WAN via the HUB-4/CMI-300 MXL installations requiring FM or US Coast Guard approval
12. MLC (MXL Line Card for FireFinder XLS) Optional card for the FireFinder XLS panel utilizing the ALD model "I" series; model "ID" series; model "IL" series or model "FP" series type intelligent devices Each card supplies 2 circuits Each circuit supports 60 intelligent (addressable) devices Each MLC supports 120 devices Fits in XLS CC-5 or CC-2 card cage Allows FireFinder XLS headend to use existing field devices and wiring

16. Enclosure adapter for MXL-IQ MSE-3M and MSE-3L backbox Keep the same backbox Keep the same field wiring Keep the same field devices Includes adapter plate, inner door, outer door and lens plate Space for up to 18 AH batteries (ensure batteries can take 5A charge!) Werker brand P/N WKA12-18NB
17. Remote annunciator enclosure adapter for flush mount RCC-1F and RCC-3F Keep the same backbox Keep the same field wiring Includes adapter plate and outer door
18. Remote annunciator enclosure adapter for surface mount RCC-1 Keep the same backbox Keep the same field wiring Includes adapter plate and door plate
19. Database import capability Import MXL CSGM device custom messages and properties into FireFinder XLS Zeus Windows based programming tool Greatly reduces programming time A huge time saver!
20. Other reasons to upgrade to FireFinder XLS Innovative electrical and software features allow the panels to be installed faster than competition – this also results in reduced maintenance Reduced cabling and removable terminal blocks Diagnostic LEDs Windows-based configuration tool The XLS offers new and superior industry-leading features, such as: Improved performance – over 4 second improvement from input to outputs PMI that provides ATM-like interface for easy annunciation and control Digital voice with background music and convenience paging FireFinder XLS is the platform for future enhancements.
21. Typical migration scenarios
22. Reuse of wire and other considerations Consult XLS Wiring Compatibility Guide P/N 315-034786 (found on tech support website) to ensure existing wiring can be reused Shielded analog audio riser cannot be used for DNET communication between DAC-NETs DNET communication requires 2 pairs of wire XLS(V) NAC end of line (EOL) resistor values are different than MXL(V) MXL nodes with over 2500 addressable points need to converted to networked XLSs
23. MXL panel migrated to XLS panel
24. MXL panel with an RCC-1F migrated to XLS panel with SSD-C
