The Amp Interface Unit (AIU) can be used instead of a CBA unit when battery testing with a CBA A2 500W Amplifier.

Note: This unit only works with CBA amplifiers that have (1) a diagnostic port that looks like a modular phone jack and (2) the V2 firmware. CBA amplifiers purchased after October 1, 2022 have both of these characteristics. If you have a CBA amplifier with the diagnostic port that was purchased before October 2022, then it can be updated to the V2 firmware by filling out an RMA request to have it be recalibrated at West Mountain Radio.

Capabilities

Benefits of Using the AIU Over a CBA

  • Can detect when a CBA amplifier is malfunctioning and stop the test
  • Not possible to select the wrong CBA amplifier configuration in the software which would result in incorrect results
  • More accurate since it eliminates the CBA and simplifies the cables for a multi-amplifier system
  • Amp errors can now be detected by the software
  • Allows CBA amplifiers from multi-amplifier systems to be reconfigured to different size systems. For example without an AIU you cannot split a 2000W system into four 500W systems because the units were set to a different amplification factor. Those CBA amplifiers would need to be sent back to West Mountain Radio to be reconfigured.
  • Can connect any number of CBA amplifiers and the software knows what you have

Hardware

  • Connects to a PC by USB cable
  • Each AIU can connect to up to four CBA amplifiers
  • Any number of AIU units can be connected to the PC for large systems

Software

  • Standard and Extended Software will detect the AIU and provide an option to use that for a test
  • Knows exactly what to command for a discharge because the AIU reports how many CBA amplifiers are connected
