VOCIA END OF LINE DEVICE (ELD-1)

The Vocia® End of Line Device (ELD-1) is a networked safety device for use with Vocia output devices. Supported models include the complete

line of Vocia ampliers and the Emergency version of the Vocia Output 4 device (VO-4e). The ELD-1 is an integral part of compliant voice
evacuation and mass notication systems. The ELD-1 tests speaker line integrity between the output device and the ELD-1. The device can be

surface mounted and utilizes IEEE-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. The ELD-1 is compatible with both constant voltage and
low impedance systems and does not rely on the speaker line as a power source.

FEATURES

• Line monitoring

• Looks for inaudible signal from the Vocia output device

• Reports shorts or open conditions on the speaker line

• Surface mountable

• Power and data over a single Ethernet cable

• Status LED

• CE marked and RoHS compliant

• Covered by Biamp Systems’ ve-year warranty
