LVC2016 Amplifier Specifications

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 16 volts rms, per channel into a 2 ohm load.
> Frequency bandwidth of DC to 20 kHz at full power, DC to 100kHz at reduced power.
> Controlled Voltage or Controlled Current operation
> User-adjustable voltage or current limiting.
> Remote force to standby mode by contact closure.
> External buffered monitoring of voltage and current output.
> Protection provided against, input overloads, improper output connection (including shorts and improper loads), excessive temperature, voltage or current, and under voltage conditions.
> Shipped ready to operate using single-phase, 120-volt, 20Amp or 220-240V, 10Amp AC mains.

OPTIONS – User Configurable
> Variable voltage and current limiting
> DC Coupled (DC enabled) or AC coupled (DC Blocked)
> Controlled Voltage or Controlled Current operation
> In Voltage mode - Fixed gain (20, 44.5, 79.5) or Variable (0 – 20, 0-44.5, 0 – 79.5)
> In Current mode - Fixed Trans-conductance (20) or Variable (0 – 20)
> Channel configuration – two independent channels, two channels paralleled to Mono, two channels bridged to Mono

OPTIONS – Factory Only Configurable
> Shipped ready to operate using single-phase,
Available in either 120-volt, 20Amp 60Hz or 230-volt, 10Amp 50/60Hz AC mains configuration
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 choose between 2 channel, bridge mono and parallel mono operation
