5.2. Impedance Detection Method
The VX-200SZ-2 Impedance Detection module compares impedances to detect speaker line failures. A 40Hz
pilot signal for impedance detection is superimposed on the signal line. The VX-200SZ-2 checks the impedance
before the [SP OUT] terminal, and compares it with the initially set impedance to detect speaker line failures.
The VX-200SZ-2 module's initial impedance value must be set at the time of installation or during periodic
service maintenance.
The VX-200SZ-2 can connect 2 speaker lines that work simultaneously during paging.
Both lines (or SP OUT A and B) cannot be programmed as individual call zones.
Once the line is shorted, it remains disconnected from the speaker output until resetting.
Once the line is opened, it will be automatically monitored every hour to see if the line is recovered.
Refer to the VX-2000 series Instruction manual.

Notes
• Observe the following relationship between the amplifier's power output and connected speaker's input
power: Amplifier wattage ≥ Speaker wattage on the speaker line A + Speaker wattage on the speaker line B
• Make the speaker wattage on each of the speaker lines A and B almost the same (within 10%).
