 Read this safety instruction and the manual first

 Follow all instructions and information.

 Do not lose this manual.

 Do not use this apparatus under the rain or near the water.

 Do not install the apparatus near heaters or in hot environments, do not use outside the

operating temperature range.

 Mount the apparatus as indicated in the instruction, do not block side grids for air ventilation

 ATTENTION: supply the apparatus with a correct mains voltage and with the ground

connection. Check the power cord integrity.

 The power cord must be protected from damage

 Do not install the apparatus near heaters or in hot environments, do not use outside the

operating temperature range.

 Do not open the apparatus, only qualified service technician are enabled to operate on it. The

apparatus needs servicing when it is not properly working or is damaged by liquids, moisture

or other objects are fallen in the apparatus.

 Use only accessories or replacement parts authorized or specified by the manufacturer.

 Clean the apparatus only with dry cloths, do not use liquids.

 The ON/OFF is a double pole circuit breaker, but to ensure the complete disconnection of the

apparatus, disconnect the power cord.

 Report the serial number and the purchasing date in front of the manual. It is needed to have

proper replacement parts or accessories from the manufacturer.

 When replacement parts are needed, use only replacement parts authorized from the

manufacturer. Substitution with not authorized parts could result in electric shock, hazards or

fire.

 Keep attention on all the labels with warnings or hazards on the apparatus.

BRIEF DESCRIPTION

MAT244 is a programmable RF combiner, software configurable in:

 Combiner 8:1 with 7dB max gain (not diversity)

 Combiner 8:4 with 0dB max gain (not diversity)

 Diversity Combiner 4:2 with 7dB max gain

MAIN TECHNICAL FEATURES

 combiner 8:1 or 8:4 or 4:2 (sw configurable)

 Wide bandwidth 150-840 MHz operation

 Remote management and monitor of alarms thru Ethernet 10/100 base TX

 Antenna booster on each inputs

 Programmable attenuators on each inputs

 Remote boost control (for gain/bandwidth) with a bidirectional data link thru coax (input

BNC’s)

QUICK START INSTRUCTION

1. Connect to the power outlet using the supplied power cable (see rear panel)

2. Using coaxial cables withdraw the signal from BNC output connections (see rear panel: 4

outputs w, x, y, z)

3. Plug the antennas to the relative input connectors (see rear panel: A-B, 1 to 8 connectors)

4. Power on the MAT244

5. Switch off the unused areas/channels from the front panel

6. Choose the output option that best fits your needs. MAT244 is a programmable RF

combiner, software configurable (Setup > RF matrix menu) in:

 Combiner 8:1

 Combiner 8:4

 Diversity Combiner 4:2

7. Power the antenna booster from the main menu

8. Set the gain of antenna booster or the gain of the MAT244 in order

 to have the same noise floor on all the areas (switch off all the TXs, check on

MRK960 receiver the level of noise using the RF Test menu).

 to coverage the required area (perform a Walk test with MRK960)

9. Enjoy our MAT244 versatility and reliability.

FRONT PANEL CONTROL AND FUNCTIONS

MAT244 allows an easy and quick configuration using buttons, push knobs and OLED display.

The front panel is functionally divided in the following section:

A – Lock/Unlock

To lock the MAT244 push the lock button in the front panel.

When the MAT is locked:

 the circle led upper the lock button is yellow lighted

 it is not possible to change any parameters on the status menu

 it is not possible to enable/disable the RF input with the square button

B – Input Channels status

Gives you details about the 8 input antennas divided between channel A and channel B.

Here you can check RF status, antenna DC power and antenna attenuation.

C - LCD display

64 x 254 yellow-lighted display. 3 push buttons (membrane). The function of each button (upper,

middle and lower) will be readable from the context menu on the display.

D – Rotary Knob/Alarm indicator

Push rotary knob. Rotate and push to select. Warning (YELLOW) and Alarm (RED) light indicator

E – Matrix Leds

Link led shows the status of the host connection, Act the traffic and STA1/STA2 are the Ethernet

interface’s led.

F – Power AC

ON/OFF square powering button turns on/off the Matrix. When in OFF position both phases are

disconnected from power.

Pushing the knob from the Status menu, it is possible to enter on the configuration setting of each

input port:

ports 1÷4 (diversity configuration 4->2) or ports 1÷8 (no diversity configuration, 8->1 or 8->2) ❷

For each port it is possible to:

 enable RF input (only in diversity configuration 4->2)

o both A&B ports (AB)

o only A (A-)

o only B (-B)

NOTE: push the square button to disable RF input of both the ports (A & B): the button

becomes unlighted.

 enable power supply DC (12V/250mA) to antenna booster

Configuration 4->2

Configuration 8->1 or 8->4
