Page 6: Amplifier Setup
2 Amplifier Setup The 8101 amplifier is a precision instrument that can be dangerous if not handled properly. Lethal voltages are present in both the AC input supply and the output of this amplifier. For this reason, safety should be your primary concern when you setup and operate this amplifier. -
Page 7: Choose Input Wire And Connectors
See Section 6, Specifications, for detailed information on thermal dissipation. When operating the 8101 in a dusty environment, use commercial furnace filters, or equivalent, to prevent rapid clogging of the filters on the amplifier. 2.4 Choose Input Wire and Connectors Figure 2.2 shows connector pin assignments for balanced... -
Page 8: Wiring Your System
8101 OPERATOR’S MANUAL recommends using professionally AE T ECHRON constructed, high-quality, two- or four-conductor, heavy gauge wire and connectors. You may use terminal forks up to 10 AWG or bare wire for your output connectors (see Figure 2.5). To prevent the possibility of short-circuits, wrap or otherwise insulate exposed cable connectors. -
