The loudspeaker line isolator system for surveillance of loudspeaker lines in combination with PRAESENSA Public Address and Voice Alarm system. The main task of the loudspeaker line isolator system is to keep the audio message broadcast in the emergency zone in case of a loudspeaker line short‑circuit.
The loudspeaker line isolator system catches multiple faults independently for different loudspeaker lines. It handles also multiple faults at the same time for the same loudspeaker line, regardless the type of the fault. Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2021.07.28 | V1.00 | Installation manual...

Fault detection is always indicated by cyclic blinking. Blinking speed relates to the current status of the fault: – ORANGE fast (4 cycles/sec) - fault is currently detected. – ORANGE slow (1 cycle/sec) - fault was detected in the past and fixed.

This section will describe the installation and configuration of the Line Isolator Drive in combination with PRAESENSA to ensure an EN 54‑16 compliant installation. We strongly recommend to first install and connect LDB to PRAESENSA and the loudspeaker line. Having loudspeaker line connected to LDB gives you the DC‑power on the line, which is necessary for correct start‑up of FIM.
The Enable Amplifier Detection option in the PRA-LID (LDB) is not working in combination with PRAESENSA. Therefore, make sure that this setting is disabled. This can be done via the Sniffer tool (see LDB Sniffer User guide for more details).
EOL switch (6) should be in ON position only with EOL resistor connected to the termination of T‑Branch line. Short circuits on T‑Branch are detected and isolated regardless the EOL monitoring switch. 2021.07.28 | V1.00 | Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation manual...

In this case short circuit is located adjacent to LDB, therefore LDB detects the fault directly and any attempt to reset LDB brings no result - LDB returns to SHORT active state. 2021.07.28 | V1.00 | Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation manual...

This area is isolated from the loop because of the fault. To find the end of isolated section, connect the SECONARY side back to LDB and find the first area with sound reproduction. Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2021.07.28 | V1.00 | Installation manual...
Loudspeaker line isolator will feed the loop with audio signal only from PRIMARY side. While listening to loudspeakers follow the loop and find first area (including T‑Branches) with no sound reproduction. 2021.07.28 | V1.00 | Bosch Security Systems B.V. Installation manual...
If there are two (or more but even number) twists in loop cable polarity, some of FIM modules are not powered and therefore system is not fully operational. Loudspeaker line isolator however will not detect any fault and will act normally, as if the loop was correct. Bosch Security Systems B.V. 2021.07.28 | V1.00 | Installation manual...
