HLS-DM1 Hearing Loop Driver

The HLS-DM1 uses efficient class D current drive technology to reduce power consumption and heat output. It is the only small area induction loop driver capable of reliably driving most practical local area loops to meet the IEC60118-4 Standard even where available power or allowable heat is limited, e.g. connecting to equipment that uses PoE or in plastic enclosures. The transformer isolated balanced input allows simple connection to all intercoms, help points and kiosk systems, making the HLS-DM1 the obvious choice for any quality intercom system.

Applications include:

  • Intercom systems for most environments:
    • Lifts / elevators
    • Help & information points
    • Refuge points
    • Door entry systems
    • Car parks & toll booths
    • Security barriers & drive throughs
  • Information points & kiosks
  • Interactive exhibits

Power supply options:

  • 8-24V DC: Typical local DC supply inside equipment where another supply is already present.

Whilst the HLS-DM1 draws less than 3W with typical signals, you should still check that an existing supply has enough spare capacity.

  • Compact & lightweight. Ideal for low profile OEM integrations
  • Easy & fast installation
  • Constant Current Drive technology for Induction Loop applications
  • Low power consumption & simple integration
  • Area coverage of up to 45m2 with perimeter loop
  • Localised area loops counters, walls, panels etc
  • Low lifetime cost excellent reliability, 5 year warranty & free technical support
  • Power supply: 8 to 24V DC (Standard version)
  • Transformer isolated input
  • Mic Input
  • Metal loss correction
  • Unrivalled intelligibility

Perimeter Loops Area Coverage

The HLS-DM1 can be used to cover a small area using a perimeter loop. A two-turn loop will give best results in these small areas:*

Room aspect ratio 1:1 2:1 3:1
Maximum area m2 30 40 45

* Wire must be 2.5mm2 for optimum audio performance in maximum areas shown – see handbook for maximum area with each wire size. Contact Ampetronic for further advice or if best choice is unclear.
