The HLI is used to output data to external systems such as Building Management Systems (BMS) in
a high level serial format.
The BMS interface provides a serial output for the FireFinder Series II to announce changes in the
state of devices monitored by the FireFinder Series II.
Devices can be sensors, zones or groups. A group is a collection of zones and/or sensors.
Sensors can have only one state, i.e. normal, alarm, isolate etc. Zones or groups may have multiple
states depending on the state of their individual members. For example if a zone consists of 3
sensors, with one sensor in alarm, one in fault and one isolated, then the zone is said to be in alarm,
fault and isolate.
The format of the serial data consists of two sections with an optional third section that MAY include
the descriptor string dependant upon whether the descriptor is available with the particular option
chosen:
State of the device, i.e. ALARM, FAULT or ISOLATE.
ID of the device, i.e. physical or logical.
Descriptor string (as per the descriptor strings entered into the fire panel Max 33 characters)
The state of the device is the new state(s) that the device has assumed.
The logical ID is the ID number of the group the device is assigned. When zones and sensors are
configured it is possible to allocate them into groups. These groups may correspond to Evacuation
zones or BMS groups or any other group as necessary.
The physical ID is the zone number or loop and sensor number of the field device.
When the interface is configured, it is possible to suppress the logical ID or the physical ID, and to
select which state changes the output.
In addition the interface responds to a query command (^E), which causes the FireFinder Series II
to output the current state of all devices.
