™ Instruction manual GENERAL INFORMATION The ILA-450 Induction Loop Amplifier for audio transmission is widely used to provide hearing aids with inductive audio signals. The ILA-450 Phoenix Induction Loop Amplifier was developed as a high-quality LOOP amplifier for medium induction loops.

The magnetic field outside the intended range loses strength rather quickly and drops to zero. This is done by coupling a phase shifter FS-1, which is connected between the two ILA-450, which in turn generates a signal phase difference of 90 degrees in the electrical flow through two adjacent induction loops.
™ Instruction manual SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS Before putting the induction loop amplifier ILA-450 into operation, we ask you to carefully read the safety instructions. We ask you to perform the installation according to the following guidelines: In a highly visible position, an INDUCTIVE COUPLING sign should be located near the entrance to the area where an induction loop is installed.

Rotate the MLC control to get the best playback / transmission of the audio signal on the induction loop while monitoring the audio signal via the headset with the ILA-E receiver. Repeat the measurement procedure for all ILA-450 induction loop amplifiers or induction loops bound in the system.

The loop impedance measurement only takes place when the input signal is inserted. After removing the fault, always „reset“ the loop amplifier ILA-450 by switching off the amplifier with the POWER button, wait 3 seconds and then turn it on again with the POWER button.
REAR SIDE / CONNECTIONS 1.- POWER INPUT 230VAC/50-60 Hz 230VAC power input. For connecting the ILA-450 to the mains using the power cord. 2.- LOOP CABLE SPEAKON socket 2-pin, the loop cable should be connected to the terminals (+ pin) and (- pin).

This in turn supplies the first loop in the system. Due to the phase modulation, the audio signal is shifted by 90˚ phases and forwarded to the second ILA-450. The second ILA-450 then has to supply the second parallel induction loop throughout the system. All LOOP segments should be equal and should not exceed ranges of 2 to 5 meters.

LOOP SYSTEM WITH 90 DEGREES PHASE SHIFT according to EN 60118-4 Example of a simple LOOP SEGMENT induction loop system with two ILA-450 (MASTER / SLAVE) and FS-1 90 degree phase shifters. It is important that the induction loops are approximately the same size.

Phased Array System Due to the phase modulation, the audio signal is shifted by 90˚ phases and forwarded to the second ILA-450 or to the second induction loop. The second ILA-450 then has to supply the second parallel induction loop in the entire inductive hearing aid system.
