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 fire 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 LSI16 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 fire and emergency control equipment.
lsi-16 front panel Setup and Use The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for configuration and programming of the LSI-16. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on configuration 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.
lsi-16 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 will always power up in the system fault condition.

lsi-16 rear panel This connection carries control data and power over a single Ethernet cable. The maximum distance between any unit and an Ethernet switch is 328 feet (100 meters) when using copper cabling. Additional Ethernet switches and/or fiber-optic cable can be used to further extend distances between units on a network. Note: A managed Ethernet switch is required for redundant network wiring (spanning-tree configuration or similar).
lsi-16 rear panel Monitored Outputs Two black five-position connectors are located next to the rotary switches. These are predominantly used for Monitored Outputs to external lamps or sounders. Individual connections are labeled 1 through 8 as indicated below. One connection is configured for use as both an input and an output (1) and one as an input (2) (see table below for connector assignments).
lsi-16 rear panel System Test A system test can be initiated by simultaneously connecting monitored outputs 1 and 2 to ground (see connection diagram). A system test runs a diagnostic test, part of which illuminates each LED in turn and momentarily activates the sounder.

lsi-16 rear panel Control Inputs Two five-position plug-in barrier strip connectors provide control input connections. Eight separate channels plus two ground pins are provided (see table below for connector assignments). Control inputs are fully isolated from all connections in the LSI-16.
lsi-16 rear panel Option Slot The option slot allows for additional modules if required by the system design. A typical option module in this slot may provide eight additional general purpose logic inputs, plus eight general purpose logic outputs. System Fault Relay Connection This relay is activated when the LSI-16 is fully operational. It may be used for informing external devices about the LSI-16’s operating conditions or sounding an alarm that indicates the LSI-16 is not functioning reliably.
lsi-16 installation Installation The LSI-16 requires one 1.75 inches (44.45mm) high and 19 inches (483mm) wide rack space with 10 inches (254mm) depth. Mounting the unit using four screws with washers will prevent marring of the front panel. PVC or nylon washers are appropriate. Please install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in rooms with adequate ventilation. Ensure that air can circulate freely behind, beside, and above the unit.
