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 fire 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.
LSI-16/LSI-16e FRONT PANEL Setup and Use The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for configuration and programming of the LSI-16/LSI-16e. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on configuration 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.
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.
LSI-16/LSI-16e REAR PANEL Device ID The rotary ID switches are located on the back of the LSI-16/LSI-16e and give the unit a unique Device ID. The switches are in hexadecimal format. To assign a Device ID of hex 07, turn the LSB switch to 7 and leave the MSB switch on 0. To create an ID of hex B7, turn the LSB switch to 7 and turn the MSB switch to B. Device ID switches should be set using a 0.1 inch (2.5mm) to 0.12 inch (3.0mm) flat blade screwdriver.
LSI-16/LSI-16e 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/LSI-16e REAR PANEL Monitored I/O Two black five-position connectors are located next to the rotary switches. These are predominantly used for monitored inputs and outputs (I/O) 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/LSI-16e REAR PANEL (I/O 3) Voice Alarm Active This output is active when messages are playing in response to an alarm input. This output provides indication of when a message is playing or when a message has been muted. Constant active output - indicates a message is playing in response to an alarm input. Cyclic output (1.25Hz) - indicates the message has been muted.
LSI-16/LSI-16e 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-16e.
LSI-16/LSI-16e REAR PANEL General Purpose Inputs These connections provide functionality of the option inputs on the LSI-16e or of the LSI-16 that has been upgraded with an Interface Module (IM-16). On an LSI-16 without an option board, these connections will remain inactive. Two connectors, labeled Option A and Option B, are located on the back of the LSI-16e. Each slot consists of 14 pins which are labeled 1 to 14.
LSI-16/LSI-16e REAR PANEL SECTION HEAD Connections and Input Types External Connections Both Chassis Ground ( ) and Isolated Ground ( ) are available on the IM-16 connectors. By default, all input circuits are isolated with respect to the LSI-16 ground. Any external input connections must be logic referenced to the Isolated Ground. This configuration allows external equipment to be interconnected to the LSI-16 without ground current interaction between devices.

LSI-16/LSI-16e INSTALLATION Installation The LSI-16/LSI-16e 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.
