Ametek AMP 200N - Output Range Configuration

AMETEK CTS AMP 200N series
Manual for Operation V 4.0.3 20 / 60
For operation with AMP200N Series the
software Netwave.control is necessary.
The AMP200N is controlled via the
Framebus interface from the Netwave.
The NetWave is computer controlled via
GPIB or Ethernet interface.

6.3 Output Range setting for DC application
The AMP 200N is a class A amplifier with two output ranges with the following output specifications:
Range max. current
LOW
MED
HIGH
AMP 200N Imax
±35Vp/5.0A
±70Vp/2.5A
AMP 200N1 Imax
±35Vp/16.0A
±70Vp/8.0A
AMP 200N2 Imax
±25Vp/18.0A
±55Vp/14.0A
±80Vp/10.0A
The output Range selection must be made in the Device Setup of the Autowave software.
How to change the Output Range:
1. Select in the Device Setup the
AMP200N
2. Select the AMP200N model
3. Select in the Area Output
Range the correct range.
For the most application the
LOW range with a maximal
current is the best choice.
6.3.1 AMP 200Nx as DC source
It is generally not recommended to use the AMP 200N series as a DC source, but if necessary, it is
recommended to check in advance the equipment maximum current consumption during the test. Then select
the suitable output range for equipment operation. Please take care to the circumstance that the maximum
peak or inrush current must be inside the current specification. Otherwise an alarm will occur and the AMP200N
will stop and prompt an error message.
