Biamp Vocia LSI-16 Life Safety Interface - 911.0245.900
Product Overview
The Biamp Vocia LSI-16 is a life safety interface that connects a Vocia public address system to emergency and fire alarm systems. As a monitored emergency interface for mass notification and EVAC systems, it supports voice evacuation deployments in government spaces, transportation facilities, and large commercial buildings.
Product Description
The LSI-16 serves as an emergency interface between a Vocia system and emergency or fire alarm systems. While typically powered from a certified 24V DC source, it can also use Power over Ethernet. It provides parallel I/O ports for direct interface with fire alarm and emergency equipment, with eight monitored I/O and eight control inputs, redundant network and power options, and local storage of configuration data. It accepts the Interface Module 16 (IM-16) for 16 additional general-purpose inputs and is rack mountable in 1RU.
Key Features
- Emergency interface — Parallel I/O ports interface directly with fire alarm and emergency equipment.
- Monitored I/O — Eight monitored I/O and eight control inputs are provided.
- Redundancy — Redundant network connection and power supply options support life safety reliability.
- Single-cable power and data — Power and data are carried over a single Ethernet cable via PoE.
- Expandable inputs — It accepts the IM-16 module for 16 additional general-purpose inputs.
- Virtual inputs — Up to 500 virtual inputs are supported via RS-232 or Ethernet, plus up to 4 discrete emergency inputs.
- Rack mountable — The interface is rack mountable in 1RU.
Typical Applications
- Government space
- Commercial meeting space
- Multi-purpose room
