STATEMENT OF WARRANTY IF THIS INSTRUMENT FAILS WITHIN A PERIOD OF ONE YEAR FROM THE DATE OF DELIVERY OR INSTALLATION, CWE, INC. WILL, AT ITS OPTION, REPAIR OR REPLACE IT FREE OF CHARGE TO THE PURCHASER. THIS WARRANTY EXCLUDES DAMAGE INCURRED THROUGH ABUSE OR ACCIDENT AND CONSUMABLE ITEMS OR COMPONENTS SUCH AS BATTERIES.
The wide gain range of the BMA-200 allows its use as a primary amplifier whose output can be fed directly to tape or chart recorders, or oscillographic displays. The six- position high and low pass filters have a sharp rolloff for effectively limiting the signal to the desired frequency bandwidth.
BMA-200 Instruction Manual 3.0 POWER ON/OFF SWITCH Switch POWER ON by moving this toggle switch to the left. The centered position is POWER OFF. By momentarily moving the switch to the right, the BATTERY TEST function is activated. If the BAT light comes on during this test, approximately 70% or more of the battery capacity remains.
6.0 GAIN CONTROL The gain of the BMA-200 amplifier is set using the 12-position GAIN knob. It is important to choose an appropriate gain setting for the input signal being amplified. For example, if an EMG...
BMA-200 Instruction Manual 8.1 LOW FREQUENCY FILTER SWITCH (Inner Knob) This switch selects the low frequency margin of the pass-band. Its range is DC-100Hz, in 6 positions. Note that if true DC response is required, the AC/DC switch must also be set to DC.
BMA-200 Instruction Manual 11.0 BATTERIES The BMA-200 operates from NiMH rechargeable batteries. Twelve AA-size cells are provided in two 6-cell packs. Battery life depends on a number of factors, but especially the extent to which the audio monitor is used. Typically, the amplifier can be used for more than 24 continuous hours between charges.
+5V, which will be unaffected by the state of battery charge. Since there is no current limiting provided, care must be exercised not to draw too much current from the batteries. A practical maximum would be about 20mA. Contact CWE if you are interested in designing or building such a device.
