Setup and Use

A CI-1 requires an LSI-16 for operation. While the LSI-16 requires conguration in Vocia software, a CI-1 requires only an interconnection 

with an LSI-16 as detailed below. Once the required interconnections have been established, the CI-1 will operate with the LSI-16 to
provide the necessary functionality. It is recommended that the CI-1 be mounted immediately adjacent to an LSI-16 so the CI-1 controls
can be associated with indications on the LSI-16.

Vocia installations designed to comply with the requirements of EN 54-16 must be installed in accordance with Biamp recommendations
detailed in this User Manual and in the Vocia VACIE Reference Guide (download from www.biamp.com).
