Bosch Plena - Voice Alarm Controller; VOX Configuration

Short-circuit supervision
If line supervision is switched on, the voice alarm controller continuously monitors all
loudspeaker lines in the system for short-circuits.
If a short‑circuit is detected, the line output of the short-circuited line is isolated and shut
down within 200 ms. The system will remain operational. If the line is dual-redundant
connected (A and B), the short-circuited line remains operational as well.
When a ground short occurs, first check the 0 V and 100 V connections from the amplifier to
the Voice Alarm Controller. If these connections are incorrect, then a short fault can occur at
unpredictable times.
