Amplifier supervision
 Amplifier channels supervision
 Amplifier channels are tested one by one, in sequence

 Pilot tone 25.5kHz, 3V RMS

‒ Pilot tone only present during test
‒ Duration 1 sec per channel

 Whole amplifier test takes 8 sec, if all channels are tested

 Continuous test.

8x 1 Sec = 8 sec

EoL supervision concept
 Detailed amplifier block diagram
 EoL detection circuit
 EoL device adds a special load to the speaker line
25.5kHz 51kHz
u i EoL device

 The detection circuit can detect the special load

caused by the EoL device

 When the special load is detected

‒ The speaker line is OK

 When the special load is missing

‒ The speaker line is broken and an EoL fault is generated.
