Overview
The Vocia Text to Speech Server 1 (TTS-1e) and The Vocia Text to Speech Server 1 Nurse Call (TTS-
1nce) are designed to work in conjunction with a Vocia Message Server 1 (MS-1 or MS-1e) to enable text
to speech messaging as part of a Vocia system solution.
Voice fonts are available to suit regional languages.
The TTS-1nce also facilitates integration via RS-232 to Nurse call systems that make use of the TAP
protocol. Rauland Responder 4 and 5 are supported natively.
Setup and Use
The Vocia software provides an intuitive interface for configuration of the TTS-1e / TTS-1nce. In addition,
the Vocia Text-to-Speech server supports a web browser to enable user configuration of custom text
strings. The information supplied by this manual relates to physical connections and assignment. For
more details on software setup, please consult the Vocia Help File.
Installation
The unit requires one 1.75 inch (44.45 mm) high and 19 inch wide rack space with 17 inch (432 mm)
depth. Mounting the unit using four screws with washers will prevent marring of the front panel. PVC or
nylon washers are appropriate. The unit should also be supported at the rear to prevent bending of the
enclosure and/or rack ears.
When installing the rack ears, please note that the hardware is not symmetrical. Please install the rack
ear labeled "left" on the left side of the unit (when looking at the equipment facing the front plate) and the
rack ear labeled "right" to the right of the unit.
Remove the screw from the chassis (with a Phillips P2 screw driver)
Attach the appropriate rack ear and re-affix the Phillips screw to the chassis and 4 additional
Phillips screws supplied with the rack ears.
Install the unit away from heat sources, such as vents and radiators, and in rooms with adequate
ventilation. Ensure that air can circulate freely behind, beside, and above the unit. Do not exceed the
maximum ambient operating temperature of 32°-113° F (0° -42°C). Be aware of conditions in an enclosed
rack that may cause the temperature to exceed ambient room conditions.
