Specifications are taken from the manufacturer's published datasheet and can change between hardware revisions. We confirm the exact model against your requirements before supplying it.

What you need to know

Paging zones and bell or announcement schedules are set up in software, so zone changes later do not need rewiring.
The LSI-16e interface is the part that connects the system to a fire alarm or emergency panel for evacuation messaging.
The number of paging stations, interfaces and other devices depends on the size of the building and the zones required.

Frequently asked questions

What is the Biamp Vocia system used for in a school?

Vocia is Biamp's networked voice communication and paging platform. Biamp lists non-emergency and emergency paging, scheduled and pre-recorded messages, and background music for education sites.

Can it connect to our fire alarm system?

The LSI-16e life safety interface is the Vocia device that links to fire alarm and emergency systems, and it is EN 54-16 certified. Check the requirements of your own fire alarm system when specifying.

Do you survey and install the system?

Site survey, installation and commissioning are available on request, and are quoted alongside the equipment.
