Single Amplifier Configuration with N6143/N6081D Controllers
If operating in single amplifier mode, the remote interfacing becomes easier to provide. A simple RS-
485 link is required between the amplifier and the controller to give full functionality. The dual amplifier
controller (N6143) can still be used in this set-up as it is fully configurable to either single or dual
amplifier mode of operation. The N6081D is a low-cost, single amplifier controller that also provides
the amplifier parameter display (it uses the low voltage DC supply from the amplifier, so it does not
require a mains power connection). Examples of the interface for this method of control are as follows;
