Amplifier, Foot Pedal
ISSUE: 1 DATE: June 1996
This amplifier is designed to work with the Danfoss foot pedal (KEP). A typical application would be controlling a
variable volume piston pump that is fitted with an Electrical Displacement Control (EDC). Trim pots on the amplifier allow the
output levels to be tailored with respect to foot pedal position. An enclosure protects the internal circuit board and provides
a means of mounting. The control has (3) LEDs to indicate +12 V power, +8 V regulator and output current.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
• Supply voltage: 12 Vdc (11 to 15 volts)
• Output current (uni-polar): maximum 160 mA with a 22
ohm load
• Adjustments (see Adjustments):
1.OFFSET sets start current (threshold)
2.MAX sets maximum current output
3.GAIN sets current output with respect to foot pedal
position
All adjustments are clockwise (< 1 turn) for increasing.
To access the adjustments, remove the 4 cover screws.
• Input impedence: 200K ohm
• EMI/RFI protection
