Ampetronic HLS-2C Active Hearing Loop Panel

The Ampetronic HLS-2C Active Hearing Loop Panel is a device designed for hearing-impaired individuals to aid them in hearing sounds more clearly. The device uses an induction loop to transmit sound signals directly to hearing aids equipped with a “T” (telecoil) setting. The device comes with an installation handbook containing safety instructions, installation and connection instructions, and fault conditions.

2. Check that the loop feed cable is connected to the clamp connector.
3. Connect the low impedance speaker cable and/or other input connection.
4. Observing correct polarity, connect the DC power supply and apply power. The power indicator will illuminate.
5. With the input signal on, increase the Input control until the green AGC LED illuminates with a normal signal.
6. Adjust the Output control until the amber Current LED is illuminated with signal peaks.
7. Use an Ampetronic FSM to test the system and adjust as required to be consistent with the requirements of the latest IEC 60118-4 Standard.

Fault Conditions

• Overheating: The amplifier will output max rated sine current for 1 minute into rated load. After this period an internal protection mechanism will attenuate the output.
• Overcurrent/Overvoltage: The amplifier will shutdown if its capabilities are exceeded for a short period. The amplifier will resume normal operation when operated within the normal parameters.
