Stage 2: Loop Drive
1. Turn on the driver’s internal 1KHz test signal generator by selecting
“On” from the following screen. Once a green ‘Signal On’ symbol
is displayed on the right, select “Continue”.
Note: An external sine signal source can be connected if required.
2. Selecting the left dB circle allows the drive level to be adjusted in
1dB steps from -24dB to 0dB. The real-time measured current is
displayed in the right hand circle once a signal is present.
If the hearings loop(s) connected to the driver are of suitable
characteristics and installed correctly, the display screen will list
the available current for the V34 and V34a as 14Arms and the V22a
as 8Arms.
If the driver detects that the loop(s) connected do not have
suitable characteristics to deliver the maximum 12Arms, the
available current for the driver will be attenuated to prevent
clipping (orange ‘ATTN’ symbol will be visible with the maximum
available current below it).
The right hand circle will display where the loop has been
attenuated to as grey bars.
