1. Introduction and Description

TheG.R.A.S.IntensityPowerModuleType12AB(Fig.1.1)isatwo-channelpowersupplyfor

usewithversionsB,CandDoftheG.R.A.S.SoundIntensityProbeType50AI.

TheType12ABisbuiltintoasturdyanodizedaluminiumcabinetandcanbepoweredeitherby

internalstandardbatteriesoranexternalDCsupply(12V-18V),e.g.amains/lineadapter.

AblockdiagramofitsmaincomponentsisshowninFig.1.2.

1.1 Polarization Voltage

Thepolarizationvoltagecanbesettoeither0Vor200Vviaaninternalswitch(seesection3.2).

Theseare:

• 200V*—forusewithType50AI,or

• 0V—forprepolarizedmicrophones

1.2 PreamplierVoltageSupplies

Thepreampliervoltagesupplycanbesettoeither28VDCor120VDCviaaninternalswitch

(seesection3.2).Theseare:

• 120V*—formaximumdynamicrange,or

• 28V—forminimumpowerconsumption

1.3 Power Supplies

TheType12ABcanrunoninternalbatterieswithabatterylifeofapproximately10hoursusing

G.R.A.S.preampliers,orfromanexternalpowersupplyof12-18VDC,e.g.aG.R.A.S.

mains/lineadapterAB0002(Europe)/AB0003(USA).

1.4 Input/Output

Theinputisa12-pinLEMOsocketonthefrontpanelwhichiswiredup(seeFig.2.3)forthe

G.R.A.S.SoundIntensityProbeType50AIversionsB,CandD.Thisinputisalsoconnectedto

the9-pinD-subconnectorinorderto:

a) Transmitthestate(pressed/notpressed)ofthetwopush-buttonsonthehandleoftheType

50AI

Whenpressed:

thebluebuttontransmitsDSR

thegreybuttontransmitsCTS

b) SignaltheresponsesviathetwoLEDsalsoonthehandleoftheType50AI

Whenlit:

theredLEDissignallingRTS

thewhiteLEDissignallingDTR

Bysuitablyprogrammingthecomputer’ssoftware,measurementsanddataacquisitioncanbe

controlledinteractivelyviathesepush-buttonsandLEDs.

ViatwostandardBNCconnectors(AandB)onthefrontpannel,theprobe’stwooutputsignals

areavailable,DC-decoupledforusewithanalyzers,voltmeters,oscilloscopesetc.

4. Operation

4.1 Batteries and External Power

TheType12ABcanbepoweredeitherbyinternalbatteries(Fig.3.1)orfromanexternalpower

supplyviatheDCinputontherearpanel(Fig.2.4).Ifanexternalpowersupplyisused,thebat-

terieswithintheunitwillbeautomaticallydisconnected.Externalpowershouldbe12-18VDC,

e.g.fromaG.R.A.S.mains/lineadapterAB0002(Europe)/AB0003(USA).

WhenevertheType12ABisswitchedon,thebattery-levelmeteronthefrontpanel(Fig.2.1)

shouldalwayspointtothegreenzonetoensurecorrectoperation.Ifitpointstotheredzone,

eitherthebatteriesarelowandshouldbechanged(seesection3.1)ortheexternalDCsupply

voltageistoolow.

4.2 PolarizationVoltageandPreamplierSupplyVoltage

Polarizationvoltagecanbeswitchedfrom200Vto0V(seesection3.2).Use200Vforstandard

externally-polarizedcondensermicrophones,and0Vforprepolarized(electret)microphones.

Preampliersupplyvoltagecanbeswitchedfrom28Vor120V.Use28Vforminimisingpower

consumption,itisalsosufcientformostapplicationsbutlimitsthedynamicrangeofthemicro-

phonepreampliersusedwiththeType12AB.Use120Vtoutilisethefulldynamicrangeofthe

microphonepreamplier.InthiscasethedynamicrangewillbedeterminedbytheType12AB.

5. Service and Repair

Repairsshouldbecarriedoutonlybyqualiedpersonal.TheIntensityPowerModuleType

12ABshouldnotbedismantledwithpoweronbecauseofhigh-voltagecircuits.
