• 24v Standard Compliant external power supply to the CI-1
• CIE to input channels 1 - 8 on the LSI-16e's IM-16 general purpose inputs - This is what places the Vocia System in
Emergency Mode
• Alarm Reset link from CIE to Rs terminal on the CI-1 - Resets the Emergency Mode in the Vocia System
• System Fault link between LSI-16e and Evacuation Panel. Allows fire panel to alert when the Vocia Evacuation
System has a System Fault and requires attention
• Voice Alarm Active link from VA terminal on the CI-1 to CIE - Signals the CIE that Vocia has an active alarm
• General Fault link from the GF terminal on the CI-1 to CIE - Signals the CIE when there's a fault in the Vocia
System
Optional:
• Alarm Silence link from CIE to SI terminal on the CI-1 - Silences the alarm in the Vocia System
Required physical connections general purpose inputs:
• Inputs are configured as "High-Range monitored"
• Loss of individual connections will be indicated as a
General Fault (GF)
• Physical inputs 1 - 8 are configured as Alarm triggers
for the individual Upper and Lower Zones. Physical
IM-16 Inputs 10 - 13 and LSI-16e inputs 1 - 4 are
used to test individual Emergency zones. Physical
input 15 silences any alarms but leaves the system in
emergency mode. Physical Input 16 returns the system to regular/non-emergency mode. Please refer to the picture
on the right or review the full LSI-16e connection documentation
Speaker lines
• Speaker circuits are being installed as constant voltage speaker lines - 70V or 100V can be selected via software.
In this example, all speaker circuits are 70V.
• Select speaker transformer taps individually to allow for the emergency messages to be at least 10dB SPL above
the A-weighted noise floor in each area. Note that in quiet areas, like passenger and staff cabins, the speaker may
provide enough SPL even at the lowest tapping.
• Attach a PLD-1 or PLD-2 device at every last speaker of each individual speaker line if line monitoring is required.
The amplifier will monitor the speaker line from end to end and report an
Audio Path Fault
message at the LSI-16e if
the speaker line is interrupted.
• If the installation conditions require speaker line branches, or the jurisdiction requires active speaker line
monitoring for compliance, End-of-Line Devices (ELD-1) may be used instead of the PLD-1 or PLD-2's to monitor
the speaker lines. There can be up to 15 ELD-1's per speaker line to accommodate for branch connections. Note
that the ELD-1 requires a PoE-enabled connection to the Vocia Network.
