Description 

 
The PA-2S amplifier is a plug-in unit for the npi EPMS-07 modular system. It is designed to 
amplify small bio-electrical signals. Two channels are available and can be used 
independently from each other in AC or DC mode. DC offsets can be compensated either by 
the using the OFFSET controls (coarse and fine) or they can be eliminated using the AC 
position of the input switches. The inputs and outputs are BNC connectors. 
 
Input and output configurations are selectable. The PA-2S can be connected internally to 
other modules of the EPMS-07 system, e.g. to one channel of an EXT-08, to a DPA-2F or to 
an INT-20M module. Both INPUT and OUTPUT signals can be linked internally to other 
EPMS modules. The LC Display shows which amplifier / channel is used (see below) and 
indicates if the linear region of the amplifier is exceeded.  
 
The input impedance is 1 M

 (other impedances are available on request). The GAIN range 

is x10 to x1000 and can be set by a rotary switch (10-20-50-100-200-500-1000 switch). The 
OUTPUT is filtered by an 8 kHz lowpass filter.
