Power Amplifier II
012-05783A
Using Power Amplifier II
To install the Power Amplifier II, plug in its power cord
and plug the DIN plug into Channel A, B, or C of the ap-
propriate PASCO Signal Interface box (CI-6510 or
CI-6560).

➤ NOTE: Using Power Amplifier II with Series
6500, the Power Amplifier program is calibrated for
channel C. The Power Amplifier II can also be
plugged into Channel A or B but these channels are
not automatically calibrated to read the current as is
Channel C.

To use the output of the Power Amplifier II, connect the
load to the banana jacks on the front of the Power Ampli-
fier II. There is a power switch on the back left hand cor-
ner of the Power Amplifier II.

WARNING! Do not turn on the power switch
until a program (either Power Amplifier, Data
Monitor or Science Workshop) has been run and the
desired output voltage has been selected.

When the computer is in DOS, the Power Amplifier
will output 10 Volts if the power switch is on and
this could overload a circuit that might be con-
nected to it. The software controls this voltage:
The Data Monitor Program sets the default voltage
to zero and the Power Amplifier Program sets the
default AC peak voltage to 5 Volts.

When the Power Amplifier II is operating, a green power
indicator light on the front panel of the Power Amplifier
II will be lit. There is also a red current overload light
which comes on whenever the maximum current of 1 A is
exceeded. If this warning light is on, the waveform is dis-
torted and you should reduce the output voltage.
