Advanced QuickZone XL Conventional or Sav-Wire Panel
Summary
The QuickZone XL is an advanced up to 12 zone conventional/twin wire (sav-wire) control panel featuring an integral power supply and space for standby batteries. This panel continues the tradition of quality and reliability that Advanced is known for, offering easy installation, simple maintenance, and straightforward operation for end users.
The system provides up to 12 fire zone circuits plus two monitored sounder circuits, complete with fire and fault VFCO relays, fire & fault switched negative outputs, class change and alert inputs. The fire zone outputs can be configured as ‘Twin Wire’ through DIL switch selection, which also enables zone interface settings and access to Level 3 programming mode. The panel supports dependency modes A, B & C for enhanced operational flexibility.
The QuickZone XL features a comprehensive three-level access system. Level 1 provides status indication for supply, fire, system, general and repeater faults, along with zone fire, fault, disablement and delay status. Level 2 enables operational controls including resound, silence, reset, disable and test modes, plus internal buzzer muting and LED indicator testing. Level 3 access allows advanced configuration including sounder resound options, Type ‘A’ dependency selection, dependency function editing, factory settings restoration, buzzer volume adjustment, event log viewing, and panel-wide settings including access codes and delays.

FAQ
What is the maximum number of zones the QuickZone XL can support?
The QuickZone XL can support up to 12 fire zones, depending on the model variant and expansion cards installed. Base models start from 4 zones and can be expanded using modular zone cards.
What is Twin Wire operation and how do I enable it?
Twin Wire (sav-wire) operation allows the use of special detector bases and polarised 470Ω call points for enhanced monitoring capabilities. This is enabled through DIL switch selection on the panel and requires compatible ‘Sav-Wire’ detector bases.
What fire detector brands are compatible with the QuickZone XL?
The QuickZone XL supports an extensive range of conventional fire detectors including Apollo, Argus, Hochiki and Nittan brands.
What are the different access levels and what can I do in each?
Level 1 provides status indication only. Level 2 enables basic controls like resound, silence, reset, disable and test functions. Level 3 provides full programming access including dependency settings, factory reset, event log viewing and system configuration.
Can I expand the system after initial installation?
Yes, the QuickZone XL features modular expansion capabilities with standard and high specification zone cards available. You can also add up to 8 fully functional repeater panels via plug-in communications PCB.
What type of batteries does the system use?
The panel has space for up to 2 x 7.0Ah internal 12V SLA (Sealed Lead Acid) batteries for standby power supply.
