Description

The VESDA High Level Interface (HLI) acts as a vital bridge for VESDAnet aspirating smoke detection systems, facilitating direct access and seamless data transfer to PC monitoring and configuring tools like Xtralis VSM4 and VSC. This enables easy management and comprehensive oversight of an entire VESDA network, by linking the proprietary VESDAnet protocol to a personal computer. The VHX-0210 model extends functionality with modem support for remote notification.

Operationally, the HLI connects via a VESDAnet socket card, configured using Xtralis software packages, and can manage networks of up to 200 devices. Crucially, the VESDA HLI is recommended strictly for monitoring purposes and is not approved as a primary alarm reporting device. It is compatible with several VESDA detectors, including VLC-505VN, VL P, VLS, VLC-50500-MRN, and VLC-505-EX, particularly when paired with an FTDI USB to Serial Adapter.

Technical specifications include low power consumption (1.68W), a 24Vdc supply, and compact dimensions (192x110x40mm) weighing 0.4kg. An RS-232 serial cable is supplied. Eurofyre, an authorised Honeywell distributor and Xtralis wholesaler, provides the VESDA High Level Interface, offering extensive support including expert advice, pipework calculations, training, and after-sales assistance.
