APPLICATION
The LVC 2016 is a general purpose, medium voltage, low continuous current, linear power amplifier. It works best when
driving loads of 4 - 16 ohms. The LVC 2016 works well with either pulsed or higher impedance continuous test signals. The LVC 2016 has two (2) separate channels that can be operated independently or combined for greater maximum voltage or current. In Bridge-mono mode the available output voltage doubles. In Parallel-mono mode the amplifier operates with twice the available output current.

FEATURES
> Output of 8.0 amperes rms, or 80 volts rms, per channel depending on load.
> Frequency bandwidth of DC to 20 kHz at full power.
> Option of controlled voltage, or controlled current operation, modes changed via a jumper
> User-adjustable voltage or current limiting
> Remote switching to standby mode by contact closure
> External monitoring of voltage and current output
> Equipped with circuitry to protect the amplifier from input overloads, improper output connection (including shorts and improper
loads), excessive temperature, voltage or current.
> Shipped ready to operate using single-phase, 120-volt AC mains. Also available in 100-120VAC and 220-240VAC versions.
> Installs easily into a standard 19 inch rack, or stands alone for bench top operations

INDICATORS AND CONTROLS
> Front panel LEDs indicate signal presence and output overload
> A pushbutton power “On/Off” located on the front panel
> Two gain controls on the front panel for controlled voltage applications
> Two circuit breaker resets on the back panel
> A back panel slide switch to lift signal ground from chassis ground
> A back panel slide switch to choose between 2 channel, bridge mono and parallel mono operation
