Fike has a worldwide distribution network. Each distributor sells, installs, and services Fike equipment. Look on the inside of the door, left side, there should be a sticker with an indication of the distributor who sold the system. If you can not locate the distributor, please call Fike Customer Service for locating your nearest distributor, or go to our web-site at www.fike.com.
HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE RELATED DOCUMENTATION To obtain a complete understanding of the specific features of the VESDA HLI or to become familiar with related functions and networking to Fike panels, refer to the documentation listed below. Please reference the most current version or the version noted on the label located on the product.
HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE TERMS USED IN THIS MANUAL The following are various terms used in this manual with a brief description of each: Ω - Symbol for “ohm”. Unit of resistance. AC Normal State (“AC Normal” Green LED ON) The system is in the AC Normal state when appropriate AC power is being applied to the system.
If the installer is properly grounded at all times, damage due to static discharge will not occur. If the module requires repair or return to Fike, it must be shipped in an anti- static bag. P/N 06-158 UL S3217...
V4.20 or higher; up to 40 VESDA detectors can be connected to the HLI. If using a VESDA HLI with firmware older than V3.08.0.0 or a host control panel with firmware older than V4.20; up to 10 VESDA detectors can be connected to the HLI. These limitations must be adhered to in order to allow the VESDAnet detectors to meet the device response time requirements set forth by UL standard 864 (ninth edition) and NFPA 72.

HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE INSTALLATION The HLI should not be installed until after all construction cleanup has been completed in order to avoid any potential damage to the electronics due to dust and debris. Before installing the HLI assembly into the enclosure, thoroughly clean the enclosure to remove any dirt, dust and debris.
HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE HLI WIRING The HLI connects to the Cheetah, Cheetah Xi and CyberCat control panels via an RS232 cable connection. The HLI must be located within 50 feet (15 m) of the panel and must be powered from the host control panel’s 24VDC continuous auxiliary output.

Trouble. Alert and Action always come into panel as Pre-Alarms. FIRE 1 will activate the alarm state for the configured zones in the FIKE control panel. In the Cheetah, this will NOT participate in pre-discharge. In the Cheetah Xi, FIRE 1 can be programmed to participate in pre- discharge.
Certain trouble events will prevent the Fike Control Panel from activating an alarm (at any level) for the VESDA device. They are: ♦ ISOLATE ACTIVE = When the VESDA detector has been isolated either from the Fike Control Panel or a VESDA display unit.
Page 23
HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE 5.5.2 SUPERVISORY OPERATION If a VESDA is configured in the Cheetah control panel for SUPERVISORY, the following levels and states will be seen and activated on the panel: ♦ Alert Level = Pre-Alarm LED illuminates on panel, piezo sounds (constant), and Pre-Alarm 1 state entered for the configured panel zone.
HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE OPERATION (CYBERCAT / CHEETAH XI) 5.6.1 ALARM OPERATION If a VESDA is configured in the Cheetah Xi or CyberCat control panel for ALARM, the following levels and states will be seen and activated on the panel: ♦ Alert Level = Trouble LED illuminates on panel, piezo on steady and Pre-Alarm 1 state entered for the configured panel zone.
Page 25
HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE ♦ Action Level = Supervisory and Trouble LEDs illuminate on Panel and piezo sounds supervisory pattern (warble) and Supervisory State entered for the configured panel zone. The onboard Supervisory Relay will energize and change states. On the CyberCat / Cheetah Xi this state is not latching and panel will clear after obscuration drops below the Fire 1 level.
HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE CHEETAH / VESDA ALARM LEVELS VESDA detectors have four alarm levels: ALERT, ACTION, FIRE-1, and FIRE-2. The levels convert from VESDA to Cheetah as follows: VESDA Cheetah Alert PreAlarm 1 Action PreAlarm 2 Fire 1 Alarm Fire 2 Alarm* *Alarm can participate in Predischarge if Cheetah is programmed to do so.

HIGH LEVEL INTERFACE TROUBLE REPORTING / DIAGNOSTICS VESDA troubles can be recorded for each unit attached to a VESDAnet or from the serial port link extending from the control panel to the HLI unit. See Appendix 1 and 2 for a complete listing of VESDA events. CHEETAH / VESDA LINK If the serial cable between the Cheetah and the HLI becomes disconnected, a trouble event is recorded within 10 seconds.
