CLS2-R1 Concourse induction loop driver
CLS2-R1 Concourse hearing loop driver
Part code: CLS002-R1
The Ampetronic CLS2-R1 is a derivative of Ampetronic’s popular and proven CLS2 technology that has been modified to allow easy installation and quick connection to a range of Public Address systems in public transport waiting area applications. The CLS2-R1 meets with the transport sectors exacting electromagnetic safety requirements and standards for electrical equipment in high voltage areas.
The capable and compact driver unit is designed specifically for mounting behind panels or within enclosures. All connections are preconfigured and easily accessible on the bottom of the unit.
The reliable CLS2-R1 is designed to be on continually, with minimal maintenance required, and is backed by Ampetronic’s standard 5 year warranty and comprehensive support services.

CLS2-R1 Concourse induction loop driver
• Quick and simple to install
• Complies with Railway EN50121-4 safety standard
• Area coverage to >400m2
• Configurable inputs designed specifically for a range of PA systems
• Panel or enclosure mounting
• Metal Loss Correction

The CLS2-R1 enclosure is designed for simple, permanent installation. Connections are preconfigured and controls are accessible underneath the removable lid to deter unwanted post commissioning adjustments with indicator LEDs clearly visible on the front panel. 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 or wall mounting mounting using 4 screws (6 holes provided). The CLS2-R1 is compact enough to fit on a 1U rack tray with feet removed.
Enclosure access:
Removable lid, secured by 4 Phillips PH2 screws. Lid can be removed completely if required, for ease of access.
Cable connections:
Input 1 is suitable for use with balanced microphone or balanced low power line signals. Inputs 2 & 3 are preconfigured to suit a range of PA Systems. AC power input and fuse are located in the IEC power connector. The unit also features an M6 ground stud.
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 four controls are located to be accessed only with the lid open, all screwdriver adjustable.
• Level controls for inputs 1, 2 and 3
• Metal loss correction
• Loop drive current
Perimeter Loops – Area Coverage (maximum):
| Room aspect ratio | 1:1 | 2:1 | 3:1 |
| Maximum area 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:
• Loop must be 1-2m above or below the receiver (hearing aid) height
• There should be no metal structures in the plane of the loop
• Sufficient voltage to drive the loop – check the cable table below
Maximum Cable Length:
The CLS2-R1 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:
