Amplifier, speakers line  

and critical path surveillance unit 

SU-114N 

1. INTRODUCTION 

The  unit  is  modular  in  design,  with  the  capacity 
for surveillance of 14 zones. 
It performs three surveillance functions: 

 

Surveillance 

of 

the 

loudspeaker 

line 

impedance 

 

Surveillance  of  the  power  unit  status  of  the 
Optimus 6 series 

 

Critical path surveillance.  

These  functions  allows  to  comply  with  the 
EN60849 standard. 
 

Loudspeaker  line  surveillance: 

The  SU-114N 

injects  various  frequencies  into  the  loudspeaker 
line, which it then collects and analyses in order 
to  detect  the  status  of  the  line  (open  line,  short 
circuit or correct line status). 
The  frequencies  used  for  this  monitoring  can  be 
no audible (20 kHz or 18 kHz) or audible (4 kHz 
or 400 Hz). 
Constant  monitoring  (continuous  measurement) 
is  achieved  through  the  use  of  no  audible 
frequencies. 
Audible frequencies are generally used to confirm 
the  line  faults  detected  during  measurement  at 
high frequencies. 
 

Surveillance  of  the  power  unit  status: 

The 

SU-114N detects the 24 V DC received from the 
power 

units 

through 

the 

SURVEILLANCE 

connection of the amplifier. 
 

Critical  path  surveillance:

  In  installations  with 

an  evacuation  PA  system,  this  consists  in 
continuous  surveillance  of  the  entire  path  of  the 
evacuation signal, from its origin (the capsule of 
the  MD-500EM  desk)  to  the  loudspeaker  that 
plays the message. 

Main characteristics: 

 

Allows  the  surveillance  of  Optimus  amplifiers 
with  surveillance  connector  (UP-66,  UP-67, 
UP-126,  UP-127,  UP-246,  UP-247,  UP-366, 
UP-367,  UP-67M4,  UP-127M4,  UP-247M2  and 
UP-487).  

 

Triple frontal status indicator for each zone. 

 

Surveillance capacity of 14 zones. 

 

Input contact (MEASURE ACTIVATION), which 
allows  an  external  device  to  activate 
measurement at audible frequencies (4 kHz or 
400 Hz). 

 

Open  collector  output  contact  (MEASURE 
INDICATION).  This  is  activated  when  the  SU-
114N is performing surveillance. 

 

Allows the surveillance of lines in installations 
with volume attenuators. 

 

Allows the surveillance of lines in installations 
with music programs. 

 

PC configuration via Ethernet. 

 

Setting from PC or front keypad. 

 

Double  Ethernet  connection  for  installations 
with redundant network systems. 

 

Surveillance of unit operation by means of the 
PA Manager (SMP-250V2) software or through 
the Web browser. 

 

IP  address  configuration  by  means  of  a 
Dipswitch  and  by  software,  facilitating  the 
replacement of equipment in an installation. 

 

In  installations  with  backup  amplifiers  and  a 
COU-02/0,  it  interacts  with  this,  ordering  the 
replacement  of  the  faulty  amplifier  with  the 
backup  amplifier  when  an  amplifier  error  is 
detected. 

 

24  VDC  power  supply  (power  supply  not 
included). 

 

Occupies one standard 19'' Rack unit.
