FAQ & Technical Topics

Q: What type of electrical service should I install in my home for my Acom amplifier to have sufficient electricity available?  

  A: The maximum current drawn by even the Acom 2000A amplifier is less than 15 Amperes, so you do not need more than a 15 Amp 240v circuit for any Acom amplifier. 

     A 20 Amp circuit is not required - but if you have a 20 Amp circuit, you may use it. There may be some benefit of using a 20A circuit as it uses heavier wire (12 ga) and a 15A circuit requires slightly thinner wire (14 ga).

 

 

Q: What type of outlet should I have my electrician install?

 

 A:  

 With a 15 Amp circuit, your electrician should install a Nema 6-15R receptacle.

 

 

 With a 20 Amp circuit, your electrician should install a Nema 6-20R receptacle.

 

Q: What do these outlets look like?
 

A: 15 Amp Receptacle

 

A: 20 Amp Receptacle

Q: What type of plug will be installed on my Amplifier?

 

A: It will be a Nema 6-15P Plug - You may plug this into either a 15 Amp or 20 Amp outlet

 

The appearance of your plug may vary slightly from this illustration.

 

Remote control software for the Acom 2000 ?

The Acom 2000A is capable of being used in a remote station. Acom does not offer nor support any third party software solutions.

The Acom RPON (Remote Power ON) optional module will enable you to remotely turn the amplifier on and off.

The following software packages claim to work with the Acom 2000A:

Neither Acom nor Array Solutions supports these applications with the Acom 2000A, but we can tell you that users have reported that they have been succesful in implementing them. As of 29 April, 2011, the Acom Director application by M0YOM is a beta release that looks very promising and has a very elegant interface.
