Honeywell Notifier

The Honeywell Notifier integrated system provides the capability to monitor fire alarm zones, alarm detectors, and to annunciate alarms.

Note: BACnet integrated systems support cross subdomain communication via BBMD (BACnet Broadcast Management Device) without the need for additional configuration in Designer.

Definitions

BACnet — Communication protocol for Building Automation and Control networks. For more information, see www.bacnet.org.

Setup

See the Data Servers page for information on configuring driver communication.

Compatibility

The Honeywell Notifier integrated system is compatible with:

  • BACNET-GW BACnet Gateway
  • ONYX Series Fire Panels
    • NFS-320
    • NFS2-640
    • NFS2-3030

Prerequisites

Software Minimum Version
IPFusion — Honeywell Notifier 1.0
.NET Framework 4.7.2

When completing your setup, be sure to have the Honeywell Notifier documentation available for reference.

Ports

These ports must be open in your network firewall for the integration to work.

Purpose Default Value Configurable
Communication Settings 47808 Yes
Dataserver 9520 Yes

Communication Configuration

In the integrated system configuration panel, you will find the Communication Settings. The below information is required.

IP Address The IP Address of the BACnet gateway.
Port The Port number for the BACnet gateway connection.
Device ID The Device ID of the BACnet gateway.
Note: Red X indicates an invalid or out of range value given for field.

Assets

Important: The Honeywell Notifier integrated system is a status-only system and no commands can be issued. Due to UL1069 standards, the IPFusion platform cannot send commands that change the system in any way — this includes resetting or clearing the alarms.

Fire Zone

This asset represents a fire zone in the Honeywell Notifier system.

Required Property Grid Field

BACnet Object Id The Id of the BACnet entity the asset represents.

View all properties

Supported States

Normal The asset is online and in its default state.
Fault An issue has been detected in a connected asset.
Acknowledged An asset alarm has been acknowledged.
No Communication Communication has been lost with the driver or asset. This status can also occur if the communication configuration for the system or asset is invalid.
Note: This status is required in all status tables.
Active A non-fire activation of an alarm, e.g., human activation.
Alarm Indicates that a device has been triggered to signal an alarm. This is due to an alarm condition being met, such as detecting smoke or heat.
Pre-Alarm This is used in a two-stage system. The panel requires two or more devices to signal an alarm. This is used to assist in preventing false alarms.

See the Configure a Status Table page for more information on configuring status tables.

Supported Commands

Mask Mask the asset's true state.
Acknowledge Acknowledge an asset alarm.
Reset Resets the asset to its true hardware state.
Cancel Deselects all selected assets.

See the Command Tables page for more information on configuring command tables.

Detector

This asset represents a fire detector in the Honeywell Notifier system.

Required Property Grid Field

BACnet Object Id The Id of the BACnet entity the asset represents.

Troubleshooting

Logs from the driver and Runtime can be viewed in the Debug Tools client. These messages contain information which can provide further context for issues during initialization, or while actively running. This can help diagnose problems.
