Description

Ampetronic
CLS2 Wall Mount Perimeter Induction Loop Driver, 4.6Arms, for areas up to 400m sq

The Ampetronic CLS2 is the second unit in a series of induction loop drivers aimed at the demands of the electrical and audio-visual contractor.

Designed for simple discreet installation, the CLS2 is the most capable driver in its class. The amplifier is very compact, yet the most powerful unit available designed specifically for wall mounting. All connections and controls are secured behind a tamper resistant, hinged, detachable cover. Combined with its small size, the range of mounting and cabling options ensure that installation is convenient and tidy in any environment. Input options are extensive, with four independent inputs for balanced microphone, balanced and unbalanced line, low impedance and 100V - line speaker systems, plus priority alarm, doorbell or telephone connections.

Backed by Ampetronic’s standard 5 year warranty and comprehensive support services, the CLS2 is truly fit and forget.

The CLS2 enclosure is designed for simple, permanent installation, with secure lid protecting connections and controls, while leaving operation indicators visible. The case is designed to make access simple, and to ensure the amplifier can be installed in the most constrained spaces.
 
 
Mounting
Designed for vertical panel mounting using 4 screws (6 holes provided). Template for screw placements provided. The CLS2 is compact enough to fit on a 1U rack tray with feet removed.
 
 
Enclosure access
Hinged lid, secured by 2 Phillips PH2 screws. Lid can be removed completely if required, for ease of access, or if there is no room to hinge the lid forwards.
 
 
Cable routing
Knock-outs (diameter 20mm) are provided for routing cables into the enclosure. 2 on the top edge, 4 on the rear face, 4 on the bottom edge, providing excellent installation flexibility.
 
 
Cable connections
All input cable connections are made with screw terminals mounted on one side of the PCB. Mains power connections are made to a chassis mounted screw terminal block. Loop connection is made to a screw terminal pair mounted on the PCB. Cable connections are illustrated on a detailed label on the case interior.
 
 
Indicators
3 LED indicators are visible with the case open or closed:
  • AGC Amber LED lit when input signal is activating the automatic gain control

  • Current Green LED lit when current is running in the loop

  • Power Green LED lit when the unit has power

 
Controls
Five controls are located to be accessed only with the lid open, all screwdriver adjustable.
  • Level controls for inputs 1, 2, 3 and 4

  • Metal loss correction

  • Loop drive current

Perimeter Loops – Area Coverage (maximum)

The CLS2 is designed for perimeter loop applications.

Room aspect ratio

Maximum area coverage m2

250

310

400

For any Induction Loop System, area coverage is dependent on several factors. Please check these assumptions and contact Ampetronic for advice if required:

  • The loop is 1-2m above or below the receiver height

  • There are no metal structures in the plane of the loop

  • There is sufficient voltage to drive the cable length – check table below.

Maximum Cable Length

The CLS2 is designed for SINGLE TURN loops for optimum audio quality:

  • Loops with DC resistance from 0.2Ω

  • Impedance up to a maximum of 1.3Ω

Maximum cable length is dependent on cable type and on the application.
