capacitive loads may damage the amplifier. 

 

 

Configuration 
Options

 

The  A10160

’s  standard  configuration  enables  a  maximum  output 

voltage of 34Vp-p into 50 ohms and a gain of x10. Custom gain of 
x15 or x20 can be ordered.  

 

  WARNING 

This  manual  has  no  schematics  and  no 
instructions  how  to  modify  the  amplifier  for other 
configurations  as  any  configuration  change, 
without  full  engineering  supervision,  may  affect 
the performance of the amplifier. All options must 
be  specified  at  the  time  of  your  purchase. 
Reconfiguration  of  fielded  instruments  can  be 
done by qualified and trained persons only. 

 
 

Connectors 

 

The A10160 has two front panel SMA input connectors, normal and 
complement,  which  match  the  Tabor’s  WX  series  and  WX8351/2 
outputs locations. The A10160 normal input should be connected to 
the  normal  output  of  the  signal  source.  The  complement  input 
should be connected to the complement output of the signal source 
as  it  is  terminated  to  50  ohms,  in  order  to  prevent  undesired 
aberrations  from  the  differential  signal  source.  However,  if  the 
signal  source  does  not  have  a  differential  output  the  A10160 
complement  output  does  not  have  to  be  connected.  At  the  rear 
panel,  the  A10160  has  one  BNC  output  connector,  which  outputs 
the amplified signals and the power DIN-5 input connector, which is 
fed from a factory supplied power supply. 

 

Power Supply  

The  A10160  comes  with  a  factory  supplied  power  supply,  which 
accepts  any  voltage  from  100  to  240Vac  and  there  is  no  need  to 
select  the  voltage  range  between  different  countries.  To  avoid 
potentially  hazardous  situations,  always  connect  the  center  pin  of 
the  power  supply  plug  to  mains  ground  using  the  line  cord  that  is 
supplied with the instrument. 

 

Specifications 

The  specifications  listed  in  this  guide  represent  the  performance 
standards  or  limits  against  which  the  A10160  is  tested. 
Specifications  apply  under  the  following  conditions:  output 
terminated  into  50  ohms  impedance,  after  30  minutes  of  warm  up 
time,  and  within  a  temperature  range  of  20

C  to  30

C. 

Specifications  outside  of  the  temperature  range  are  degraded  by 
0.1% per 

C.
