NOTIFIER VESDA-HLI-GW VESDA Gateway Network Systems Owner’s Manual

NOTIFIER VESDA-HLI-GW VESDA Gateway Network Systems

General

The VESDA Gateway provides a communication link between the Xtralis™ VESDAnet network, and the NOTIFIRENET™ network (NFN) via the VHX-1420-HFS High Level Interface (HLI). The VESDA-HLI-GW translates VESDAnet protocol to NFN protocol, enabling events on the VESDAnet to be annunci-ated on compatible fire network annunciators. The VESDA-HLI-GW connects to the standard or high speed NOTIFIRENET™ and enables event notification and control of VESDA detectors on the VESDAnet through a supervised HLI VHX-1420-HFS.
Event notifications for up to 100 detectors are displayed on the fire network annunciators with a device type of “Aspiration.” Control can be initiated from these annunciators.

Features

The VESDA-HLI-GW:

• Communicates with the VHX-1420-HFS using Modbus pro-tocol via RS-232 connection.
•  Supervises the communications to the VHX-1420-HFS.
•  Monitors up to 100 detectors.
• Displays VESDA detectors as type “Aspiration” on the dis-play nodes.
• Monitors VESDAnet detector events from NCA-2, LCD-160, ONYXWorks, and NFS2-3030 configured for Network Dis-play Mode.
• Controls VESDAnet detector functions from NCA-2, ONYX-Works, or NFS2-3030 configured for Network Display Mode.
• Performs Read Status of VESDAnet detectors from NCA-2, LCD-160, ONYXWorks, and NFS2-3030 configured for Net-work Display Mode.
• Enables zone mapping.
• Provides DCC mode as required for Canadian applications.
• The VESDA-HLI-GW translates VESDAnet protocol to NFN protocol, enabling events on the VESDAnet to be annunci-ated on compatible fire network annunciators, including FACP.
