7000-SERIES MULTI-AMP CONFIGURATION GUIDE
1 Multi-Amp Systems Using 7000 Series Amplifiers
1.1
Safety First
Throughout these instructions special emphasis is placed on good safety practices. The WARNING and
CAUTION graphics are used to highlight certain topics that require extra precaution.
1.2
Overview
A single 7000-Series amplifier can provide continuous output current or voltage only up to a certain level. If
you need increased output above those levels, you can combine multiple amplifiers into a system that can
provide increased voltage or current. Because the internal circuitry of a 7000-Series amplifier is not
connected to chassis ground, these
amplifiers are well suited for use in
series or parallel with other like-
model amplifiers within the Series.
Each 7000-Series amplifier added
to a Series multi-amp system will
increase the continuous voltage
output, while each amplifier added
to a Parallel multi-amp system will
increase the continuous current
output. See Figure 1.1 for the
approximate output levels you can
expect from each multi-amp system.
While it is possible to operate a
multi-amp system in either
Controlled Voltage or Controlled
Current modes of operation, multi-
amp operation in Controlled
Current mode requires additional
equipment configuration, and so is
beyond the scope of this Guide.
Please contact AE Techron Tech Support for assistance with configuring a multi-amp system for
Controlled Current operation.
For assistance in determining the best 7000-Series multi-amp configuration to meet your requirements,
please contact AE Techron.
This Guide will provide step-by-step instructions for setting up a Series or Parallel controlled-voltage multi-
amp system using AE Techron 7000-Series amplifiers.
