INTRODUCTION 

The ILD1000G Induction loop driver has been designed as a high quality 
amplifier for use with conference rooms, stadia, theatres, sports halls, 
confidential rooms, lecture halls and cinemas. Depending on a number of 
factors regarding the installation of the loop and the set-up of the amplifier 
the ILD1000G can provide compliance with IEC60118-4 for areas >1300m

2

Ease of installation and use have been major factors in the design, 
combined with optimised performance, and the freedom from R.F.I. 
generation. 

The ILD1000G has three inputs. A balanced line (INPUT 3), a balanced 
microphone (INPUT 1) and one (INPUT 2) which can be configured to either. 
For more complex installations, you may need ancillary equipment such as 
microphone pre-amplifier(s), adaptor(s) for use with 100V line, or signal 
processing units. See 

Accessories

 or contact Ampetronic for advice. 

QUICK START 

 

For those who have a good appreciation of loop systems, the following is a 
very quick guide to setting up the amplifier: All you need is an ac power 
source, a signal source and a loop. See ‘Designing Induction Loops’ 
handbook (supplied) or contact Ampetronic for advice. 

Installation 

1. 

Turn all controls fully anti-clockwise.

 

2. 

Connect loop cable of appropriate length / gauge.

 

3. 

Connect signal input(s).

 

4. 

Connect power. See points 6 and 7 in 

SAFETY

 section.

 

5. 

   If rackmounted remove all rubber feet from units. DO NOT re-fit the        

feet fixing screws as this may cause damage and invalidate the 
warranty

 

Operation 

6. 

   Switch ON – check green POWER LED flashes during self test and 

illuminates continuously when checks are complete.

 

7. 

   Apply input signal and increase the input control until two green 

COMPRESSION LEDs are illuminated on the peaks of the signal.

 

8. 

   Adjust the CURRENT control until the CURRENT LED illuminate to 

achieve the desired peak current.

 

9. 

Repeat step 6 for any other inputs used. 

 

10. 

Listen to the magnetic field produced inside the loop area using a 
receiving device (e.g. Ampetronic ILR3), or examine the performance 
in more detail with a field strength meter.

 

11. 

Adjust MLC control to achieve a flat frequency response.
