Vesda VHX-1300 Metal Box HLI Peer to Peer

The VESDA Wall-Mounted Open Protocol High Level Interface (HLI) links your VESDAnet with PC software monitoring tools, Building Management Systems (BMSs) and Fire Alarm Control Panels (FACPs), otherwise known as ‘host’. With a built-in VESDAnet interface you don’t need a remote VESDAnet socket module, which makes the Wall-mounted HLI a cost-effective solution to your interface requirements. There are two models available, depending on whether you require communication between your host and VESDAnet to be master-slave or peer-to-peer.

In the peer-to-peer model, the host polls the HLI for information about devices on VESDAnet, while the HLI sends unsolicited messages to the host. In this way, both the HLI and host are responsible for supervising the communications link between them. In the peer-to-peer model, the host can request and receive multiple messages from the HLI.

A VESDA High Level Interface (HLI) enables connection between a VESDAnet and configuration and monitoring platforms. Two main models are available:

1) Sliding Windows HLI, which enables communication between a VESDAnet and configuration and monitoring software packages Xtralis VSC and Xtralis VSM4

2) Open Protocol HLI, which integrates a VESDAnet to third-party software packages, building management systems (BMSs) and fire alarm control panels (FACPs).

These HLIs are available in a plastic portable housing, which can be used in multiple sites, and a fixed wall-mounted configuration to provide a permanent connection in a convenient location at one site.
