3 Vocia End of Line Device () The Vocia End of Line Device () is a networked safety device for use with a Vocia amplifier (e.g., VA-8600) and an integral part of standard-compliant voice evacuation and mass notification systems. The tests speaker line integrity between the Vocia amplifier and the. The device can be surface mounted and utilizes IEEE-compliant Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology. The is compatible with both constant voltage and low impedance systems and does not rely on the speaker line as a power source. FEATURES Line monitoring Looks for inaudible signal from Vocia amp module Reports shorts or opens in the speaker line to the network Surface mountable Power and data over a single Ethernet cable Status LED One removable terminal block connector CE marked and RoHS compliant Covered by Biamp Systems warranty 3

4 eld-1 setup and use Setup and Use The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for configuration, DSP equalization, and programming of the. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Help File. Network Connection In contrast to all other devices in the Vocia product range, the does not require setting a Device ID. Please connect the device to a PoE-compliant network and at the end of the speaker line. This connection carries control data and power over Ethernet. PoE-enabled network switches or PoE midspan adapters must be used to power the. These must be 802.3af compliant. 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. If other network traffic shares an Ethernet switch with the Vocia network, a managed switch should be used with separate VLANs. The following diagrams illustrate valid network connections for the. Ethernet switch with PoE Ethernet switch without PoE PoE injector AC Power CobraNet The RJ45 connector has one RJ45 connector that should be wired to standard copper Ethernet cabling to interface the to a Vocia system via a PoE-compliant network switch. The RJ45 connector provides two LEDs that indicate Ethernet link and network activity. 4

5 eld-1 setup and use Speaker Line Connector A plug-in barrier-strip connector on the connects the device to the end of the speaker line. The device needs to be connected to an appropriate monitoring point on the speaker cable typically after the last speaker on the run. The connector provides for both constantvoltage (70V, 100V) and low-impedance circuits. Connect the speaker line to the appropriate input for the circuit configuration. Please note: For higher-resolution detection, a constant-voltage line may be connected to the Lo-Z input, although the will represent a 1-watt load to a 100V circuit and a 0.5-watt load to a 70V circuit. The user should not connect Lo-Z circuits to the 70/100V input. 70V/100V Lo-Z Com End of Speaker Line 5

6 eld-1 Installation Installation The may be mounted in a rack or on a wall using four screws at the end of the flanges or two screws in the keyholes on the rear. Please install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in rooms with adequate ventilation. Do not exceed the maximum operating temperature of 113 degrees F (45 C). An should be connected at the end of every speaker line that is to be monitored. The diagram below shows the appropriate connection to the speaker wire and the network. In EN54-16 compliant systems, the must be connected to a compliant Ethernet switch that is backed by an uninterruptible power supply (UPS). Rack UPS UPS Ethernet Switch Vocia Amplifier A 6
