Caution: Do not position the equipment so that it is difficult to operate the on/off switch. Caution: The AMPAQ L2/L4 devices are made to be used with Quanser designed experiment kits that have particular actuators. Use caution if the AMPAQ L2/L4 is being used with your own actuator. Any load to be used with the AMPAQ L2/L4 should have a minimum inductance of 0.1 mH. -

Caution: Do not use the cables provided with the AMPAQ L2/L4 to wire it to experiments that use a different amplifier module, such as the Quanser Rotary (SRV02) or Linear (IP02) products, as this will result in burning the motors. The AMPAQ L2/L4 can be used with such experiments only if plant specific cables are available. -

• Verify that the fuse is not burnt. If the fuse is burnt, see Section 4 for furst rating and replacement information. • If the AMPAQ L2/L4 is being used with a Quanser system, verify that all the connections illustrated in the User Manual for that Quanser product have been made correctly. - Page 11 QPID Board Quanser’s range of control peripherals includes amplifiers and data acquisition boards. They can be purchased separately to control educational or research-grade plants. Mix and match these peripherals with Quanser plants and control design software to accelerate control system design and implementation.
