VOCIA LIFE SAFETY INTERFACE 16 (LSI-16)

The LSI-16 is a networked device that serves as an interface between a Vocia system and emergency or re alarm systems. The LSI-16
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 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 uses Ethernet-based control protocols to function within a

Vocia system.

FEATURES

Parallel I/O ports for direct interface with re alarm and emergency equipment •

Emergency control of four zones•

Eight monitored outputs and eight control inputs•

Redundant network connection and power supply options•

Option module for added control of I/O•

Power and data over a single Ethernet cable•

Local storage of conguration data•

Rotary switches for unit identication•

Status LEDs•

Rack mountable (1RU)•

CE•  marked and RoHS compliant

Covered by Biamp Systems’ warranty•

Setup and Use

The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for conguration and programming of the LSI-16. The information supplied by this manual relates
to physical connections and assignment. For more details on conguration of the LSI-16, please consult the Vocia Software Help File.

The LSI-16 governs the emergency functions of a Vocia system, monitoring and reporting faults and alarm conditions through indicators
and the system software. Incorrect conguration, removal, or non-installation of some system elements may result in the LSI-16 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
as detailed below, the LSI-16 must detect that it is the only such device installed in the Paging World, and the system must be correctly
congured and correctly operating.

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).

Front Panel

The LSI-16 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 receives an alarm signal from an external emergency detection system (e.g. a re alarm system)
via the Alarm inputs to the LSI-16. This LED indicates the general alarm state:

1. Solid red - The LSI-16 has received an alarm signal from an external emergency detection system (e.g. re alarm system).

2. Flashing red - The LSI-16 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 is operating on a PoE supply but the main 24V supply fails or an external power supply fault is signaled

to the LSI-16.

(LED 5) Protection Fault

This LED will illuminate yellow if a system amplier 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.

(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 will always power up in the system fault condition. Manual intervention is required to take the LSI-16 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) Option Slot LEDs

These LEDs are indicate functionality of the option slot board, and their display depends on the type of option board tted to the LSI-16.
Refer to documentation supplied with any option board tted. If no option board is tted, the LEDs will remain inactive.
