Let Sciens Modernize Your Outdated Fire Alarm System   

Your building’s fire and life safety system is only as reliable as its most outdated component. If you’re still operating a legacy Siemens system like the MXL, MXLV, or FireFinder XLS, it’s time to consider your migration to a newer version. 

As a certified Siemens distributor, Sciens Building Solutions is here to help you plan and execute a seamless upgrade to a newer Siemens system. Wondering if you really need an upgrade? Let’s find out. 

Why Upgrade Now?

Many older Siemens systems have officially reached end-of-life status. That means replacement parts are no longer being manufactured and can be extremely difficult (or expensive) to find. Even when repairs are possible, they’re often temporary fixes. Over time, you’ll face mounting maintenance costs and downtime risks. 

By migrating now, you can avoid these impending headaches. Siemens’ Cerberus PRO system offers a flexible migration process that preserves many of your existing devices while introducing a smarter, smoother experience. 

Benefits of Migrating to Siemens’ Cerberus PRO

1. More Reliable Detection

Cerberus PRO systems feature addressable devices with ISOtechnology™ built in at no extra cost. This means you gain Class X circuit reliability, allowing your devices to continue operating even if there’s a short or open in the loop. 

2. Remote Monitoring Via the Cloud 

Upgraded Siemens systems integrate with Cerberus Cloud Apps, giving you real-time access to your fire alarm system via smartphone, tablet, or desktop. This allows you to monitor system health, receive alerts, and take action no matter where you are.

3. Minimal Disruption

Siemens has streamlined the migration process so that a single panel upgrade can typically be completed in one day. Many legacy devices can remain in place during the transition and be phased out over time. 

4. Future-Proof Scalability

Whether you manage a small office building or a sprawling healthcare facility, Cerberus PRO systems scale to your needs. Modular designs, powerful audio capabilities, and increased capacity make your system ready for whatever the future brings.
