Introduction

The WES3 Interface range extends the functionality of the WES3 system by enabling a wide range of third-party devices and 

systems to be connected directly to a WES3 network.  Connections can be inbound (ie a third-party device signaling in to the 
WES3 network), outbound (where the WES3 network can trigger a connected device), or a combination of both.

The range of WES3 Interface devices allow the function of a WES3 network to be highly customized to suit specific use cases 
and site requirements.

WES3 Standard Interface

The WES3 Standard Interface can be used either to i) trigger a site-wide alarm on the WES 

network when a connected third-party device is activated, or ii) trigger a connected third-party 
device when the WES3 network alarm is activated.  Typcial uses include connection to fire alarm 
panels, access control systems and off-site communication devices (autodiallers).

WES3 Water Interface

The WES3 Water Interface enables water detection devices such as detection cables, to be 

connected to a WES network, providing automatic 24/7 monitoring and raise a notification in 
the event of water being detected.  The same WES Interface can be configured to also trigger a 
connected third-party device, such as a shut-off valve.

WES3 Medical Interface

The WES3 Medical Interface is used to trigger a third-party medical alert device, such as an 

autodialler, when a Medical Alert is raised on a WES3 Call Point.  This allows site teams to 
respond immediately to first aid incidents and medical emergencies, even in locations where 
cellular signal is not available.

WES3 Maintenance Interface

The WES3 Maintenance Interface provides maintenance and service teams with notifications 

whenever a system fault is raised on the WES3 network.  This could be a low battery warning, an 
external tamper fault, or a network signal strength alert.  The Maintenance Interface is typically 
used to trigger an autodialler or pager notification where cellular-dependent systems are not 

viable.
