VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1)
The Vocia Paging Station Interface (VPSI-1) device is designed to allow third party microphones and LED indicators to interface as slave
devices to the Vocia Wall Station and Desk Station (WS-4/10 and DS-4/10) series microphones and to the Vocia Input 6 (VI-6) device for
paging via the Paging Ports. Up to four VPSI-1 interfaces can be connected per VI-6 when congured for Vocia Auxiliary Microphone mode.
The VPSI-1 can also facilitate third party microphones and control system interfacing with Vocia standard and Emergency Wall and Desk
Stations (WS-4/10, EWS-4/10 and DS-4/10). The host Paging Station must be congured for ‘Remote Control’ mode within the software.
FEATURES
• Slave interface to Vocia Paging Stations and VI-6 devices
• Visual feedback of Paging and Zone status
• Suitable for surface mounting
• Audio, Power and Control over a single Ethernet cable
• IP30 Compliant
• Power is provided by the host device.
• CE marked, UL listed and RoHS compliant
• Covered by Biamp Systems’ ve year warranty

VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1)
Setup and Use
The Vocia software is used for conguring and programming the host device interfacing to the VPSI-1. The information supplied by this
manual relates to hardware installation, physical connections and device information. For more details on software setup, please consult
the Vocia Software Help File.
Installation
The VPSI-1 has mounting holes to facilitate discreet surface mount installation local to the external interfacing equipment.
Power
This will illuminate green when connected to the host device to indicate the device is receiving power.
To Host
The VPSI-1 is designed to connect directly to a Vocia Paging Station Auxiliary Port or a VI-6 Paging Port. The VPSI-1 has a female RJ-45
conector labelled ‘To Host’ to fascilitate this direct connection. A screened CAT5e or CAT6 cable wired straight through must be used,
up to a maximum of 100 foot (30 meter) distance. Unscreened cable must not be used. The VPSI-1 is not an IP device and must not be
connected to an Ethernet switch or network. It must be connected directly to either a Vocia Paging Station Auxiliary Port or a Vocia VI-6
Paging Port.
Audio In
A balanced audio input is available for paging audio. Input Level Jumper connections on the rear of the unit allow the input sensitivity to
be set. Four nominal levels are available: 0dBu, -10dBu, -40dBu and -50dBu. A three way jumper is provided that should be placed at the
required setting (t one jumper only using long nose pliers; ensure that the jumper is correctly located on the 6-pin header).
RS-232 and LED Connector
The DB-9 connector can be congured for two modes of operation in the software, either as a RS-232 port to facilitate Paging Station
Vocia Text Protocol (PS-VTP) Interfacing or as an LED indication driver for an external interface board.
PTT
An external Push-to-Talk connector is provided. The PTT is active when shorted to ground.
5
VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1)
RS-232 or LED Conguration
The DB-9 connector can be congured one of two ways, LED mode, labeled as ‘Auxiliary Microphone’ mode in the software or RS-232
mode, labeled as ‘Remote Control’ mode in the software.
LED mode allows an external (customer supplied) LED circuit to display Paging indication status.
RS-232 mode allows a third party control system to control the host Paging Station using Vocia Text Protocol (VTP) messages.
Wiring when using LED indicators:
When connected to a Paging Station or VI-6, the VPSI-1 DB-9 connector can used to facilitate connections to LED indicators. A custom
circuit will be required which must be wired as indicated below.

Wiring when using RS-232 Serial control for PS-VTP:
When connected to a Paging Station the VPSI-1 DB-9 connector can be used to facilitate connections to an external control system and
must be wired in the following manner.

VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1)
Using the VPSI-1 with a Vocia Paging Station
The VPSI-1 is designed to connect to the Paging Station Auxiliary Port. The Paging Station Auxiliary Port is located on the underside of the
Desk Station paging device or internally on a Wall Station paging device.
The Vocia software is used to specify the Page Code accessed when using the VPSI-1 PTT. The following two modes of operation are provided:
• Follow Paging Station Page Code: the VPSI-1 will Page to whichever Page Code is currently selected on the associated Paging Station.
• Use Specic Page Code: All Pages initiated via the Push-to-Talk button on the VPSI-1 will use the specied Page Code.
Live Page Preambles are supported but must be assigned to the host Paging Station in the Vocia software. When used with a Paging
Station that is congured with a PIN code, the VPSI-1 will activate and deactivate in unison with the Paging Station.
It is not possible to simultaneously Page from the VPSI-1 and host Paging Station. The rst PTT button pressed will take precedence.
When paging from the VPSI-1, the Paging Station will display that it is unavailable. When paging from the Paging Station the Busy and
Wait status LED’s will indicate on the VPSI-1.
The audio path between the VPSI-1 and the host device is not monitored and therefore may not be suitable for critical paging applications.
A VPSI-1 must not be deployed with Emergency Paging Stations in EN54-16 installations.
LED Indicators when used with Paging Station
The VPSI-1 allows two bi-color status LEDs for monitoring of Paging status when the microphone and PTT input is used. LED behavior is
as follows:
VPSI-1 LED Status Busy LED Wait LED Talk LED
Idle Off Off 5 second pulse
Destination Zones in Use Flash Flash Off
Wait Off On Off
Talk Now Off Off On

VOCIA PAGING STATION INTERFACE 1 (VPSI-1)
Using the VPSI-1 with a Vocia Input 6 (VI-6)
The VPSI-1 can be connected to the VI-6 Paging Port Inputs. One VPSI-1 is able to be connected to each Paging Port Input with a total
of four able to be connected to a single VI-6. When the VI-6 audio input path is congured to use the VPSI-1 the associated Line Inputs
of the VI-6 will be disabled. The audio channel Signal present LEDs on the front of the VI-6 chassis will continue to operate when the input
channel is congured for Paging. The LED indication will function as it normally would when congured as a Background or a User Input.
The LEDs will function regardless of whether the associated VPSI-1’s PTT is pressed.
Live Page Preambles are supported but must be assigned to the host VI-6 in the software. Each Paging Input can be congured in the
software with their own dedicated Page Code. Store-and-Forward paging and PIN Code protection for microphones connected to a VI-6
is not available.
LED Indicators when used with VI-6
The VPSI-1 has three status LED outputs for paging feedback. When connected to a VI-6 LED behavior is as follows:
VPSI-1 LED Status Busy LED Wait LED Talk LED
Idle Off Off 5 second pulse
Destination Zones in Use Flash Flash Off
Wait Off On Off
Talk Now Off Off On
