Building & Fire Safety Integration

Siemens Fire & Building Systems Connector

Connect the Siemens XLS or MXL Fire Control System to HipLink to deliver targeted alerts to on-site personnel through wireless devices, desktop pop-up, and voice lines.

What the Siemens Connector Enables

Purpose-built to extendSiemensfire system events through HipLink’s targeted alerting and delivery platform.

Fire Alarm Notifications

Receive alerts generated by the Siemens Fire Safety System for fire, smoke, heat, off-normal sprinkler conditions, and security violations.

Early Warning for On-Site Personnel

Deliver early warnings to appropriate on-premise individuals so teams can investigate quickly and respond faster to emerging issues.

Targeted Group Routing

Route Siemens fire system events to individuals or groups based on predefined rules using HipLink’s grouping and escalation capabilities.

Multi-Channel Alert Delivery

Deliver alerts to wireless devices, desktop pop-up, or voice lines across the organization.

Connection Fault Notification

Monitor communication with the fire system and notify designated groups if a bad connection or system fault occurs.

Flexible Event Filtering

Select which fire system events generate notifications, including alarms, supervisory alerts, trouble conditions, security events, and system resets.

How It Works

From Siemens fire event to targeted alert delivery.

01

Fire System Detects an Event

The Siemens Fire Safety System detects an alarm, supervisory alert, trouble condition, security event, or system reset.

02

HipLink Receives the Alert

The HipLink Fire Safety Integration module queries the fire panel through a direct RS-232 connection using the Siemens NIM-1W communications board and identifies the event type.

03

HipLink Routes the Alert

HipLink sends the event to the appropriate individual or group based on the organization’s predefined rules and assigned receiver groups.

04

Monitoring for Follow-up

HipLink continues monitoring the connection and can notify designated groups if a bad connection or system fault occurs.
