GENERAL

DESCRIPTION

The

APH-1100

is

a

high

quality,

100

watt

amplifier

de-

signed

for

use

in

school

systems

and

in

commercial

rack

and

shelf

mounted

applications.

Rack

mounting

of

this

unit

may

be

facilitated

by

the

use

of

an

accessory

hinge

kit

(SC-1102)

containing

a

hinged

bracket

for

use

in

pro-

viding

the

amplifier

with

a

"swing

out

for

service"

feature.

An

amplifier

panel

with

pilot

light

opening

(SCP-1101)

is

also

available

for

rack

mounting.

A

standby

relay,

Model

No.

RS-1012

(Part

no.

172000-

015),

can

be

accomodated

by

the

relay

socket

provided

on

the

amplifier

chassis.

Twenty

four

volts

DC (24 VDC)

applied

to

terminals

Kl

and

K2

will

energize

the

relay

and

ground

the

cathodes

of

the

output

tubes,

placing

the

amplifier

in

its

"ready"

mode

of

operation.

The

APH-1100

has

a

high

impedance

(250K

ohm)

un-

balanced

input

with

provision

for

the

installation

of

an

input

matching

transformer,

Model

No.

TB-1011

(part

no.

172000-065).

This

accessory

will

provide

isolation

from

the

input

source

and

permit

balanced

operation

from

a

source

of

lOK

ohms

or

less.

SERVICE

INFORMATION

Power

Transformer

The

power

transformer

of

the

APH-1100

features

a

tapped

primary

winding

for

either

117V

or

125V

operation.

Connections

for

the

two

voltage

ranges

are

as

follows-

White

lead

common,

Black

and

White

lead

117V

tap,

Black

lead

125V

tap.

All

amplifiers

shipped

from

the

factory

will

be

connected

for

125

volt

operation.

Should

the

line

voltage

in

your

locality

be

consistently

below

125

volts

reconnect

to

the

117V

tap.

Input

Transformers

Inputs

with

an

impedance

of

lOK

ohms

may

be

impedance

matched

to

the

amplifier

by

the

addition

ofan

input

trans-

former

172000-065

which

plugs

into

the

socket

provided

on

the

amplifier

chassis.

NOTE:

Before

installing

this

transformer

remove

the

plug-in

jumper

between

pins

3

and

4

of

the

socket.

If

an

unbalanced

high

impedance

input

is

to

be

connected

to

the

amplifier

the

transformer

must

be

removed

and

the

jumper

reinserted.

As

many

as

four

(4)

APH-1100

amplifiers

may

be

oper-

ated

in

parallel

from

either

the

Stromberg-Carlson

SCP-

1003

or

SCP-1005

preamplifier.

Standby

Relays

A

Standby

Relay,

172000-015,

available

as

an

accessory,

may

be

used

as

an

output

tube

cut-off

to

place

the

ampli-

fier

in

its

"standby"

mode.

Before

installing

the

Standby

Relay

the

plug-in

jumper

between

pins

5

and

6

of

the

relay

socket

(on

amplifier)

must

be

removed.

If,

at

any

time,

the

Standby

Relay

is

removed

this

jumper

must

be

reinserted.

Once

the

relay

is

installed

twenty

four

(24)

volts

DC

ap-

plied

to

terminals

Kl

and

K2 on

the

amplifier

terminal

strip

will

energize

the

relay

and

apply

a

ground

to

the

cathodes

of

the

output

tubes,

placing

the

amplifier

in

its

"ready"

mode.

CONTROLS

AND

ADJUSTMENTS

Power

Output

Stage

Bias

Adjustment

-

DC

Balance

Controls

The

Bias

Adjustment

Control

provides

a

sufficient

degree

of

adjustment

to

allow

the

employment

of

unmatched

output

tubes

in

the

Power

Output

stage.

The

use

of

matched

pairs

of

output

tubes

however,

will

aid

in

bias

adjustment

and

provide

optimum

conditions

for

high

fi-

delity

output

and

peak

power.

Occasionally,

it

will

be

found

that

some

tubes

cannot

be

balanced

regardless

of

the

Bias

Adjustment

Control

setting;

when

this

occurs

replace

one

or

b6th

of

the

tubes

in

a

push

pull

pair

until

balance

is

obtained.

The

DC

Balance

Control

is

provided

to

allow

readjustment

of

the

amount

of

Plate

Current

in

the

output

stages

of

the

amplifier.

The

Bias

Adjustment

and

DC

Balance

Controls

have

been

adjusted

at

the

factory.

Should

further

adjustment

be-

come

necessary

they

should

be
