Parts of the Power Amplifier
1. Output jacks: Accept 4 mm banana plugs
(shielded or unshielded) to connect a device to the
Power Amplifier.
2. Output-on indicator: Lights to indicate that the
output is switched on.
3. Over-current indicator: Lights to indicate that
the output voltage may be clipped or distorted.
4. Signal leads: Connect to the Xplorer GLX.
They transmit the signal from the GLX to be amplified
and return information about the output current to the
GLX.
5. Power indicator: Lights when the Power
Amplifier is connected to and powered by the AC
adapter.
6. AC adapter port: Connects to the included AC
Adapter
7. Heat sink: Dissipates waste heat. The heat sink
may get hot (up to about 60° C). Ensure that the fins are
vertical and that the flow of air around the Power Ampli-
fier is not impeded.
8. Cord clip: Holds the signal leads for storage.
