5.1.PilotToneDetectionMethod
The VX-200SP-2 Pilot Tone Detection module detects speaker line failures by using a pilot tone.
A 20 kHz failure detection pilot signal is superimposed on the signal line. To detect speaker line failures, the
VX-200SP-2 module is used with the supplied End-of-line (EOL) unit in combination. The module's Detector
circuit controls the pilot tone detection by monitoring the terminated resistance value of the EOL unit, bringing
the same result as brought in the way that the VX-200SP checks the signal return from the speaker line end.
