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 ampliers 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 notication 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

ELD-1 SETUP AND USE
Setup and Use
The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for conguration, DSP equalization, and programming of the ELD-1. The information supplied
by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Help File.
Device ID
In contrast to most other devices in the Vocia product range, the ELD-1 does not require setting a Device ID.
Network Connection
Connect the device to a PoE-compliant network and at the end of the speaker line.
An 802.3af compliant PoE-enabled network switch or PoE midspan adapter must be used to power the ELD-1. The maximum distance be-
tween any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328 feet (100 meters) when using copper cabling. Additional Ethernet switches and/or ber-optic
cable can be used to further extend distances between units on a network.
ELD-1 devices are designed to be placed on the Vocia CobraNet network. If other network trafc shares an Ethernet switch with the Vocia
network a managed switch should be used with separate VLANs. The following diagrams illustrate valid network connections for the ELD-1.

ELD-1 SETUP AND USE
High
Speaker Line Connector
A plug-in barrier-strip connector on the ELD-1 connects the device to the end of the speaker line. The device needs to be connected to an
appropriate monitoring point on the speaker cable—typically after the last speaker on the run. Connect the speaker line between the Com
pin and the appropriate Low or High pin as dened in the table below.

Note that for circuits connected to the Low terminal the ELD-1 presents a 0.5 Watt load to a 70V circuit and a 1 Watt load to a 100V circuit.

Output Fault Detection
The Amplier monitors (supervises) for faults on speaker connections using a combination of multiple out-of-band (inaudible) high frequency
tones.
For end-of-line detection, one or more (up to 15 maximum) ELD-1 units can be connected to the speaker line. To ensure correct operation of fault
detection it is necessary to follow these guidelines:
• Recorded audio messages or audio content with continuous or swept tonal components (e.g. alert tones) and any content with
signicant high frequency harmonic content should be band limited (>24dB/octave) at 15 kHz during recording. Note that program
content that is distorted due to poor recording techniques may contain excessive high frequency harmonics.
• Signal level adjustments within a Vocia system should be set so as to minimize clipping. Severely clipped signals may also affect
the out-of-band fault detection tones.
• The use of speaker cables that inherently attenuate high frequencies is not supported (e.g. screened cables). Speaker cables must
maintain frequency response to the end of line of less than -3dB @ 20kHz at with respect to 1kHz.
• Speaker cables longer than 500 feet may prevent correct operation of ELD and Ground Fault monitoring capabilities. An advantage
of Vocia is that ampliers may be easily distributed close to speakers, thereby minimizing long runs of expensive and potentially
lossy speaker cable.
• Highly capacitive speaker lines or loads may prevent correct operation of the ELD detection system.
• Legacy monitored speaker circuits that use capacitors and resistors or similar methods must have all legacy monitoring circuitry
removed for correct operation of the ELD detection system.
• For EN 54-16 compliance, one or more ELD units must be tted. End of Line detection must be enabled in the Vocia software.
Fault Indication
When a fault is detected on the speaker line or amplier channel, the lower left LED on the RJ-45 socket will illuminate Amber and remain
on until the fault is resolved. Providing a valid PoE power source and Ethernet connectivity is available the ELD-1 the solid amber indicator
can be used to physically identify the ELD-1 that is reporting an issue.

ELD-1 INSTALLATION
Installation
The ELD-1 may be mounted in a rack or on a wall using four screws at the end of the anges or two screws in the keyholes on the rear.
Please install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in rooms with adequate ventilation. Do not exceed the
maximum operating temperature of 32-113 degrees F (45°C).
An ELD-1 should be connected at the end of every speaker line that is to be monitored. The diagram below shows the appropriate connection
to the speaker wire and the network. In EN54-16 compliant systems the ELD-1 must be connected to a compliant Ethernet switch that is
backed by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS).
