Multiple loudspeaker line 
supervision
12.1 Introduction
Multiple loudspeaker line supervision is available for 
the amplifiers as follows:
PRS-1P500 Power Amplifier
PRS-2P250 Power Amplifier
PRS-4P125 Power Amplifier
PRS-1B500 Basic Amplifier
PRS-2B250 Basic Amplifier
PRS-4B125 Basic Amplifier
PRS-8B060 Basic Amplifier
Use the LBB4440/00 Supervision Control Board, 
LBB4441/00 Loudspeaker Supervision Board and 
LBB4443/00 EOL Supervision Board for multiple 
loudspeaker line supervision. With these boards, it is 
possible to supervise up to 80 loudspeakers in a 
loudspeaker line including the ends of the various 
branches in the loudspeaker line. 
The LBB4441/00 Loudspeaker Supervision Boards 
check if loudspeakers are intact, whereas the 
LBB4443/00 EOL (End of Line) Supervision Boards 
check if the loudspeaker lines are intact. Both types of 
boards are powered from the 20 kHz pilot tone of the  
Power Amplifier and communicate inaudibly with the 
LBB4440/00 Supervision Control Board, which controls 
the communication between Praesideo and the 
supervision boards. No additional wiring is required
Communication is not affected by the audio signals on 
the loudspeaker lines. Faults in the loudspeakers and 
loudspeaker lines can be reported within 100 s. The use 
of multi-wire cables is not recommended in 
combination with line supervision because crosstalk 
between audio channels may influence the line 
supervision.
The Power Amplifiers have one Supervision Control 
Board LBB4440/00 per channel. The addresses of the 
connected EOL and loudspeaker supervision boards 
must be unique for that channel. 
Multiple loudspeaker line supervision for the basic 
amplifiers PRS-xBxxx do not need the LBB4440/00 
Supervision Control Board. The basic amplifiers work 
in co-operation with the multi channel interface that 
already contains the Supervision Control Board 
function for all connected basic amplifiers. Use the 
LBB4441/00 and the LBB4443/00 Supervision boards 
as required. No Supervision Control Boards need to be 
installed into the basic amplifiers.
For basic amplifiers, the addresses in the address range 
are shared between all the connected amplifier channels 
that use the same multi channel interface.
Make sure that all EOL and loudspeaker supervision 
boards that are connected via the basic amplifiers to the 
same multi channel interface have unique addresses.
Note
Multiple loudspeaker line supervision is not 
possible in combination with LBB4428/00 
Power Amplifiers.
Note
For the loudspeaker supervision board or EOL 
supervision board to work correctly it is 
necessary to set the amplifiers to 70 V or 100 V 
output. The 50 V setting is not allowed.
Because certification for the EN54-16 standard 
has only been performed on the 100 V output of 
the Praesideo amplifiers, the installer shall only 
use the 100 V outputs of Praesideo for 
emergency sound systems in Europe.
