For those who have a good appreciation of loop systems, the following is a 
very quick guide to setting up the amplifier:

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.

Operation

5. Switch ON - Check green POWER LED flashes during self test and 

illuminates continuously when checks are completed.

6. Apply input signal, and increase the input control until two green 

COMPRESSION LEDs begin to light on the peaks of the signal.

7. Adjust the LOOP CURRENT control until the CURRENT LEDs illuminate 

to achieve the desired peak current.

8. Repeat step 6 for the other input if used.

9. 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.

10.Adjust METAL LOSS CORRECTION to achieve a flat frequency 

response.

All you need is a power source, a signal source and a loop. See ‘Designing 
Induction Loops’ handbook or contact Ampetron

ic 

for advice.

QUICK START

INTRODUCTION

The ILD122 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 set-up of the amplifier, the 

ILD122 can provide compliance with IEC60118-4 for areas > 200m .

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

The ILD122 has two inputs which allow connection to a standard line 
level signal and a balanced microphone.

For more complex installations, you may need additional 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.
