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. The device is
equipped with parallel I/O ports for direct interface to fire and emergency control equipment. The LSI-16/LSI-16e uses Ethernet-based
control protocols to function within a Vocia system.
LSI-16 FEATURES
• Parallel I/O ports for direct interface with fire alarm
and emergency equipment
• 8 monitored I/O and 8 control inputs
