VOCIA LIFE SAFETY INTERFACE 16 (LSI-16/LSI-16e)
The LSI-16/LSI-16e are networked devices that serve as an interface between a Vocia system and emergency or re alarm systems.
The LSI-16/LSI-16e may accept up to three sources of power: main power is from an external, standards compliant, battery backed 24V
DC source but the LSI-16/LSI-16e can also utilize Power over Ethernet (PoE) delivered via either of its two network ports. The device is
equipped with parallel I/O ports for direct interface to re and emergency control equipment. The LSI-16/LSI-16e uses Ethernet-based
control protocols to function within a Vocia system.
LSI-16 FEATURES
• Parallel I/O ports for direct interface with re alarm
and emergency equipment
• 8 monitored I/O and 8 control inputs
• Redundant network connection and power supply options
• Power and data over a single Ethernet cable
• Local storage of conguration data
• Rotary switches for unit identication
• Accepts the Interface Module 16 (IM-16) for 16 additional
general purpose inputs
• Status LEDs
• Rack mountable (1RU)
• CE marked and RoHS compliant
• Up to 4 discrete emergency inputs
• Up to 500 virtual inputs via RS232 port or Ethernet
• EN 54-16 certied
• EN 60849 and AS 60849 veried
• Covered by Biamp Systems’ warranty
LSI-16e FEATURES

LSI-16/LSI-16e FRONT PANEL
Setup and Use
The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for conguration and programming of the LSI-16/LSI-16e. The information supplied by this
manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on conguration of the LSI-16/LSI-16e, please consult the Vocia
software Help File.
The LSI-16/LSI-16e governs the emergency functions of a Vocia system, monitoring and reporting faults and alarm conditions through
indicators and the system software. Incorrect conguration, removal, or non-installation of some system elements may result in the
LSI-16/LSI-16e reporting a fault or alarm condition. This is normal operation. For correct, fault-free operation, inputs and outputs must be
connected to the LSI-16/LSI-16e as detailed below, the LSI-16/LSI-16e must detect that it is the only such device installed in the Paging
World, and the system must be correctly congured and correctly operating.
Front Panel
The LSI-16/LSI-16e features twenty-three LEDs on the front plate (from left to right):
(LED 1) Power
The rst LED on the left will illuminate green if the unit is powered by main or PoE supplies.
(LED 2) General Alarm
This LED will illuminate red if the LSI-16/LSI-16e receives an alarm signal from an external emergency detection system (e.g. a re alarm
system) via the Alarm inputs to the LSI-16/LSI-16e. This LED indicates the general alarm state:
1. Solid red - The LSI-16/LSI-16e has received an alarm signal from an external emergency detection system (e.g. re alarm system).
2. Flashing red - The LSI-16/LSI-16e has received a general alarm silence from an external emergency detection system (e.g. re
alarm system).
(LED 3) General Fault
This LED will illuminate yellow if there is a fault in the system that does not affect the delivery of a warning message.
(LED 4) Power Supply Fault
This LED will illuminate yellow if LSI-16/LSI-16e is operating on a PoE supply but the main 24V supply fails or an external power supply fault is
signaled to the LSI-16/LSI-16e.
(LED 5) Protection Fault
This LED will illuminate yellow if a system amplier channel fails and this failure does not prevent an emergency zone voice announcement. Note: failures that do affect emergency zone voice announcements will result in a system fault.
(LED 6) Path Fault
This LED will illuminate yellow if a fault in a transmission path is detected. The path integrity is tested from microphone capsule
to end of loudspeaker lines if optional Vocia ELD-1 devices are tted at the end of the loudspeaker lines.
(LED 7) System Fault
This LED indicates the integrity of the system:
1. Flashing yellow - The unit has a fault that may prevent the reliable operation of life safety announcement functions.
2. Not illuminated - The unit is operational without any faults that may prevent reliable operation of life safety announcement functions.

LSI-16/LSI-16e FRONT PANEL
(LED 7) System Fault (continued)
Because it indicates a potentially serious condition, the presence of a System Fault extinguishes indicators for PSU, Path and Protection
faults so as to focus attention on the primary fault. However, individual PSU, Path and Protection faults are still shown in the system
software and signaled to individual fault outputs as described below.
The LSI-16/LSI-16e will always power up in the system fault condition. Manual intervention is required to take the LSI-16/LSI-16e out of
this condition. Note: this power up condition does not prevent emergency zone voice announcements provided that the system is operating
reliably.
(LEDs 8–23) General Purpose LEDs
These LEDs indicate functionality of the general purpose inputs on the LSI-16e or of the LSI-16 that has been updated with an Interface
Module 16 (IM-16). On an LSI-16 without an option board, these LEDs remain inactive.
• Solid Red: An Alarm is active on the associated input.
• Solid Yellow: A Fault is active on the associated input.
• Flashing Yellow: An input congured as “high range - monitored” exhibits a monitoring fault.
