0 to +2V, and has a variable gain of 0 to +25. The maximum output voltage is +50V. The AV-112D-PS will drive load impedances of 10 Ω or higher. The maximum peak output current is 5 Amps (that is, 50 V / 10 Ω = 5 A). The maximum average current is 2.5 Amps (measured over a 10 ms interval).
This instrument does not normally require regular maintenance to minimize interference potential. However, if loose hardware or connectors are noted, they should be tightened. Contact Avtech (info@avtechpulse.com) if you require assistance. EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY Avtech Electrosystems Ltd. P.O. Box 5120, LCD Merivale Ottawa, Ontario Canada K2C 3H5 declare that this pulse generator meets the intent of Directive 2004/108/EG for Electromagnetic Compatibility.
(also known as “RoHS Recast”). In addition, this declaration of conformity is issued under the sole responsibility of Avtech Electrosystems Ltd. Specifically, products manufactured do not contain the substances listed in the table below in concentrations greater than the listed maximum value.

Customers who have purchased Avtech equipment through local representatives should consult with the representative to determine who has responsibility for WEEE compliance. Normally, such responsibilities with lie with the representative, unless other arrangements (under Article 9) have been made. Requirements for WEEE compliance may include registration of products with local governments, reporting of recycling activities to local governments, and financing of recycling activities.
INSTALLATION VISUAL CHECK After unpacking the instrument, examine to ensure that it has not been damaged in shipment. Visually inspect all connectors, knobs, and handles. Confirm that a power cord is with the instrument. If the instrument has been damaged, file a claim immediately with the company that transported the instrument.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONDITIONS This instrument is intended for use under the following conditions: 1. indoor use; 2. altitude up to 2 000 m; 3. temperature 5 °C to 40 °C; 4. maximum relative humidity 80 % for temperatures up to 31 °C decreasing linearly to 50 % relative humidity at 40 °C;...
FUSES This instrument contains four fuses. All are accessible from the rear-panel. Two protect the AC prime power input, and two protect the internal DC power supplies. The locations of the fuses on the rear panel are shown in the figure below: Fuses #1 and #2 Fuse #4 Fuse #3...
DC FUSE REPLACEMENT The DC fuses may be replaced by inserting the tip of a flat-head screwdriver into the fuse holder slot, and rotating the slot counter-clockwise. The fuse and its carrier will then pop out. FUSE RATINGS The following table lists the required fuses: Recommended Replacement Part Nominal Fuses...
FRONT PANEL CONTROLS 1. POWER Switch . This is the main power switch. When turning the instrument on, there may be a delay of several seconds before the instrument appears to respond. 2. OVERLOAD Indicator . When the instrument is powered, this indicator is normally green, indicating normal operation.
REAR PANEL CONTROLS 1. AC POWER INPUT . An IEC-320 C14 three-pronged recessed male socket is provided on the back panel for AC power connection to the instrument. One end of the detachable power cord that is supplied with the instrument plugs into this socket. 2.
GENERAL INFORMATION BASIC CONTROL The AV-112D-PS is a DC-20 kHz variable-gain linear amplifier. The gain is variable from 0 to +25, and is adjusted by rotating the “GAIN” control. The required voltage input signal is applied at the “IN” connector.

The output is thermally protected, and the average output power is monitored and limited. However, sudden short circuit conditions in the load may damage the output circuitry. Take care to avoid short circuit conditions! The input is protected against excessive voltages.
2) Set the signal generator to produce a +2V, 1 kHz waveform with a duty cycle of less than 50%. (The input impedance of the AV-112D-PS is 1 kΩ). Connect a cable from the SYNC connector of the signal generator to the TRIG input of an oscilloscope.

5) Set the gain control to minimum (0.0). Turn on the amplifier and the signal generator. 6) Channel A should show a +2V, 1 kHz waveform from the signal generator. Rotate the gain control to its maximum setting. The Channel B waveform should increase to +50V, and have a shape similar to that of the Channel A waveform.
MECHANICAL INFORMATION TOP COVER REMOVAL If necessary, the interior of the instrument may be accessed by removing the four Phillips screws on the top panel. With the four screws removed, the top cover may be slid back (and off). Always disconnect the power cord and allow the instrument to sit unpowered for 10 minutes before opening the instrument.
MAINTENANCE REGULAR MAINTENANCE This instrument does not require any regular maintenance. On occasion, one or more of the four rear-panel fuses may require replacement. All fuses can be accessed from the rear panel. See the “FUSES” section for details. CLEANING If desired, the interior of the instrument may be cleaned using compressed air to dislodge any accumulated dust.
