INTRODUCTION

The Model AV-110D-PS variable-gain linear amplifier accepts input voltages in the
range of 0 to ±2V, and has a variable gain of 0 to +15 (or ±15 on units with the -INV
option). The maximum output voltage is ±30V. The AV-110D-PS will drive load
impedances of 50 Ω or higher. The amplifier bandwidth is 1 MHz.

AVAILABLE OPTIONS

This model is available with the following options:

-D Option: Dual channel option. Adds a second independent amplifier channel.

-INV Option: Adds an inverting mode, in addition to the standard non-inverting mode.

-OS Option: Allows an internally generated 0 to ±15V DC offset to be added to the
output.

5

-XOS Option: Allows an internally generated 0 to ±30V DC offset to be added to the
output.

1) “Output resistance” is the internal resistance in series with output. Non-zero output impedances (R

slightly when operating into low load impedances. That is, V
resistance.

2) These parameters can easily be adapted to meet special requirements. Contact Avtech ([e-mail]) with your special application!

3) To specify the two channel option add the suffix -D to the model number.

4) To specify the regular DC offset option, add the suffix -OS to the model number.

5) Add the suffix -INV to specify the switchable gain polarity feature.

6) To specify the extended DC offset option, add the suffix -OS to the model number.

7) The sum of the amplitude and the offset must remain within the rated output amplitude range – i.e., this option does not change the minimum or

maximum obtainable output voltage.

REGULATORY NOTES

FCC PART 18

This device complies with part 18 of the FCC rules for non-consumer industrial,
scientific and medical (ISM) equipment.

This instrument is enclosed in a rugged metal chassis and uses a filtered power entry
module (where applicable). The main output signal is provided on a shielded connector
that is intended to be used with shielded coaxial cabling and a shielded load. Under
these conditions, the interference potential of this instrument is low.

If interference is observed, check that appropriate well-shielded cabling is used on the
output connectors. Contact Avtech ([e-mail]) for advice if you are unsure
of the most appropriate cabling. Also, check that your load is adequately shielded. It
may be necessary to enclose the load in a metal enclosure.

If any of the connectors on the instrument are unused, they should be covered with
shielded metal “dust caps” to reduce the interference potential.

7

This instrument does not normally require regular maintenance to minimize interference
potential. However, if loose hardware or connectors are noted, they should be
tightened. Contact Avtech ([e-mail]) if you require assistance.

EC DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

DIRECTIVE 2002/95/EC (RoHS)

This instrument is exempt from Directive 2002/95/EC of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 27 January 2003 on the Restriction of the use of certain Hazardous
Substances (RoHS) in electrical and electronic equipment. Specifically, Avtech
instruments are considered "Monitoring and control instruments" (Category 9) as
defined in Annex 1A of Directive 2002/96/EC. The Directive 2002/95/EC only applies to
Directive 2002/96/EC categories 1-7 and 10, as stated in the "Article 2 - Scope" section
of Directive 2002/95/EC.

European customers who have purchased this equipment directly from Avtech will have
completed a “WEEE Responsibility Agreement” form, accepting responsibility for
WEEE compliance (as mandated in Directive 2002/96/EC of the European Union and
local laws) on behalf of the customer, as provided for under Article 9 of Directive
2002/96/EC.

Customers who have purchased Avtech equipment through local representatives
should consult with the representative to determine who has responsibility for WEEE
compliance. Normally, such responsibilities with lie with the representative, unless
other arrangements (under Article 9) have been made.

Requirements for WEEE compliance may include registration of products with local
governments, reporting of recycling activities to local governments, and financing of
recycling activities.
