We congratulate you on the choice of the Remote Antenna Matrix AM-01/6 system 
with which it is possible to remote up to 6 antennas with a single coaxial cable. 
No other cable is needed because, in addition to the RF, also DC power and data 
commands are sent by the cable. 
The remote Matrix is controlled by the Control Box AMB-02 directly connected to 
the amplifier, no further specific software settings are required in addition to the 
one already present. 
With a particular version of the Remote Antenna Matrix AM-01/6 system it is also 
possible to automatically manage operations in SO2R. 
The  system  is  designed  for  Expert  1.3K-FA,  Expert  1.5K-FA,  Expert  2K-FA 
amplifiers and Combiner CO1-2. 
In  particular,  for  the  Expert  1.3K-FA  and  Expert  1.5K-FA  the  AM-01/6  is  able  to 
bring the antennas managed from 4 to 6.  

 
                        

IMPORTANT 

 

Before installing and using the system, we recommend that you carefully read the 
instructions contained in this manual. 
Failure to comply with these instructions results in voiding the warranty. 
Keep  the  manual,  it  contains  important  information  regarding  the  safety  and 
correct use of your AM-01/6 
 
The  manual  may  be  subject  to  changes,  we  recommend  that  you  periodically 
consult our website 

www.linear-amplifier.com

 

The English version is to be considered the official one. 
 
The Remote Antenna Matrix AM-01/6 is essentially passive and therefore does not 
require FCC certification (where required) for amateur radio use. 
 

 

CAUTIONS 
 

 

WARNING!

 

DO  NOT  disconnect,  swap,  replace  coaxial  cables  during  transmission,  there  is  a 
danger of electric shock or burns.
