Redback 10 Zone 100V Line Speaker Monitoring Unit

Product Description

Specifically designed to monitor the condition of 100V line speaker systems in emergency paging and fire evacuation installations. Many large commercial installations have speaker circuits in excess of 250W. Traditional line monitoring units were limited to 50W per zone and would not handle this load. The A 4567C can handle loads up to 500W per zone. The microprocessor controlled circuit continuously monitors loudspeaker lines for normal, open or short circuit condition. A multi-colour LED indicates line condition accordingly for each zone. Internal audible alarm buzzer with cancel button is fitted.

With any fault condition, a switched output is provided for remote monitoring purposes. This is a switched to ground signal. Three outputs are supplied. One for short circuit conditions. One for an open circuit fault. Plus a combined output for any fault condition. The system can be configured to operate with multiple amplifiers. Dimensions: 482 x 152 x 44mm.

Wiring Requirements

This unit is designed for “loop in loop out” serial wiring to loudspeakers with a 100kΩ terminating resistor at the end of the line. Star wiring or tee offs are prohibited. Each loudspeaker requires a series connected 22µf bipolar capacitor for correct operation. A delay of 10 seconds is provided before registering a fault to minimise false alarms.

Zone Status Interface

With the addition of the A 4568 you are able to monitor the status of each individual zone. The interface can be set up to monitor each zone in two ways. 1. LED status indicates normal or fault (no distinction between open or short). 2. LED status indicates either short or open. Connection between the A 4567C and A 4568 is via a Cat 5e patch lead. Screw terminals are provided for each zone.
