Description:
The High Level Interface Expander provides the ability
for the FireFinder Series II Fire Alarm Control Panels
(FACP’s) to support a range of high level interface
options.
The physical interface between the FACP and
equipment can be RS232 or RS485.
Typical applications where the HLI Expander is used
are:
Building Management
Paging system
Nurse Call Systems
EV3000
SmartGraphics
MODBUS
The FireFinder Series II FACP can support up to three
HLI Expanders
Note: Each HLI Expander added to a system can
ONLY be configured for ONE individual interface type.
Introduction:
Observe anti-static precautions at all times
The High Level Interface Controller Fast Fit Kit consists
of:
1 x HLI Controller
1 x CAB2804 450mm RJ45M Comms
1 x ENC2704-F Loop/B Term/B Plate III White
8 x HW1585 M3 x 6mm screws (only required for
the metal cabinet)
4 x HW2520 20mm standoffs (only required for the
metal cabinet)
2 x CON2578 Jumper link
Installation:
Power down and disconnect the batteries
Mounting
1. If necessary fit the stand offs to the suitably spaced
captive nuts in the lower right hand side backpan
position
2. Mount the board onto the standoffs using the 4 M3
x 6mm screws
3. If required the ENC2704 can be fitted above the
Loop Termination Board to provide extra mounting
for the HLI Controller (SP1 cabinets)
Connecting to the FACP
1. Using the supplied Comms cable connect CN4 on
the HLI Board to CN20 (Comms Out) of the Main
Control Board or, the RS485 Comms out of the
previous internal backpan board.
2. Ensure LK1 and LK3 are fitted.
3. Ensure LK2 is installed if it is the last Add-On on
the bus.
4. Bring the field cabling into the FACP through a
suitable knockout and terminate to the required
Connectors. See Figure 2
5. Set Address SW (Addresses 1 to 4 can be used).
See Figure 2 ensuring it is the same as the config
6. Power up the panel and reconnect the batteries
7. HLI Expander is configured using the
ConfigManager Tool for FireFinder Series II (refer
ConfigManager V6 AS4428 manual (MAN2599))
8. Test
HLI Setup Checklist:
Ensure the latest HLI Firmware and compatible FACP
application software are used.
Try to avoid configuring too many other add-ons
(especially SmartTerminal’s) on the same node and
add-on bus as the HLI. The worst case add-ons with
respect to timing include the HLI and Smart Terminal.
Try to distribute add-ons evenly across nodes where
possible.
HLI EV3000 Specific Setup:
1. Ensure RS485 EOL jumper link (LK1) is fitted on
the HLI
2. Ensure FACP EOL jumper link (LK2) is fitted on the
HLI if it is the last connected add-on on the FACP
add-on bus
3. Ensure 0V on the HLI (SHD on RS485 TB1) is
connected to 0V on the EV3000.
HLI MODBUS Specific Setup:
1. Ensure PLC Address and Parity (EEPROM
locations 95 and 96 at the FACP) match on the
MODBUS and FACP.
2. Ensure the same baud rate is setup on the FACP
and MODBUS
3. Ensure the same physical interface
(RS232/RS485) is setup on the FACP and
MODBUS and the corresponding hardware is
physically setup correctly
4. Ensure the same handshaking
(None/Hardware/Software) is setup on the FACP
and MODBUS and the corresponding hardware is
physically setup correctly
