Features
Direct access and monitoring of your
entire VESDAnet network
Seamless data transfer
Easily configured using Xtralis
configuring and monitoring software
packages

Listings/Approvals
VESDA HLIs are recommended for
monitoring only. They are not approved by
VESDA Access High Level Interface Xtralis for use as a primary reporting device.
The VESDA Access High Level Interface (HLI) integrates VESDAnet1 networks with
Protocol Supports
host monitoring platforms such as Building Management Systems (BMSs) and Fire
Alarm Control Panels (FACPs). VESDA VLP, VLS, VLC, VLF, VLI
The Access HLI acts as a proxy for all VESDA devices on the VESDAnet network, and VFT-15 range of Detectors
providing access to the rich status information available from VESDA detectors as well Alarm Status
as the ability to control and configure these devices. The Access HLI is able to report
Fault Status
alarms to the host within a few seconds of a detector reaching an alarm condition.
Exact performance is dependent on the polling strategy and size of the monitored Smoke Level
network. The Access HLI is able to support up to 100 VESDA detectors on a single Detailed Fault Information
VESDAnet network.
Alarm Thresholds
In its simplest configuration, the Access HLI provides a simple Master/Slave interface
Detector Control including Reset,
which allows the host to monitor and control the VESDA devices on a VESDAnet
Disable, Silence, Alarm Test and
network.
Normalise
The Access HLI also supports a subscription mechanism allowing the host to be
Operational Status for processes
asynchronously notified of changes in the status of the monitored VESDA devices on
such as Normalisation and
a VESDAnet network. The host will be notified whenever the state of a device changes
AutoLearn
such as an alarm or fault condition being raised.
Asynchronous notification of the
VHX-1320 Wall-Mounted Access HLI device state including alarm level,
The wall-mounted version is housed in a metal enclosure allowing for permanent detailed faults and current thresholds
mounting on a flat surface. With a built-in VESDAnet interface you dont need a
remote VESDAnet socket module making the wall-mounted HLI a cost effective
solution to your interface requirements.
VHX-0320 Access HLI
A standard unit used to provide a flexible solution where permanent mounting is not
required. In this case a VESDAnet socket interface is required to connect the HLI onto
the VESDAnet network.

1
VESDAnet is a propriety communications protocol allowing your VESDA range of smoke detectors, displays, programmers and remote units (collectively
known as devices) to communicate with each other on the one network. VESDAnet is a fault tolerant bi-directional protocol. This means that if one direction
of communication fails, then your VESDAnet messages are transmitted in the opposite direction.
