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.
WARNING!
Before powering on AM-01/6 and AMB-02 check the correctness of the power
supply value.

Equipment description and use
The system consists of two types of remote Matrixes with different characteristics, each
of which must be used in conjunction with the AMB-02 Control Box.
Each matrix is built in stainless steel sheet capable of resisting snow and any type of
driving rain.
It is equipped with a bracket which enables a solid anchorage to a wall or pole.
AM-01/6-SO2R
Able to manage up to 6 antennas even in the case of Expert 1.3K-FA / Expert 1.5K-FA.
Maximum power up to 2KW.
In the case of SO2R operations. a two color LED is associated with each antenna
connector:
•Red means that the selected antenna is RTX for the band in use.
•Green means that the selected antenna is currently only RX in the other band.
For a more in-depth knowledge of SO2R, refer to the amplifier manual.
This Matrix can also be used not in SO2R operations by eliminating or ignoring
the SO2R / SO2R coaxial cable (see the following system diagram).
In this case, only the red color of the LED will be active automatically.

In case of no SO2R operation, even without removing the SO2R / SO2R coaxial cable,
press [SET] then set “REMOTE ANT SWITCH” in the Config menu.
In both cases the antenna settings remain those previously established in the Antenna
menu, as an example:
The examples refer to the BANK A, each setting is of course also possible with the
BANK B.
Attention: The Matrix was designed for 6 antennas because 6 are contest HF bands.
This guarantees the passage between band and band with maximum speed.
If multi-band antennas are used, WARC and 6m bands can also be set.
For the 6 m band, where a preamplifier and a probable sequencer are often used, since
a rapid passage with the HF bands is not required, it is advisable, but not mandatory, to
have a separate cable and not to pass through the Matrix.
In this case when it is necessary to operate in 50 MHz, returning to the
conventional setting, the same ANT output is maintained.

AM-01/6- PW
Maximum power up to 4KW.
Able to manage up to 6 antennas even in the case of Expert 1.3K-FA / Expert 1.5K-FA.
A red LED is associated with each antenna connector which, when lit, indicates the
selected antenna.
This Matrix, given the high power it can handle, has been specifically designed for use
in conjunction with our Combiner CO1-2.
It can also be used as a simple antenna switch by setting “Remote Ant Switch” in the
Config menu.
It can also be used with non-SPE systems by manually setting the antenna as
described later in this manual.

AMB-02
As highlighted in the previous system diagrams, the AMB-02 control box is usually
placed close to the amplifier to which it is connected with a coaxial cable always to
antenna 1 or to the single output connector of the Combiner.
The coaxial cable that reaches the Matrix and therefore the antennas must be
connected to the opposite connector.
There are six LEDs on the panel, each representing the condition of the corresponding
antenna.
In the case of AM-01-SO2R:
•Red LED means that the selected antenna is RTX for the band in use.
•Green LED means that the selected antenna is RX only.
•LED off means that the antenna is not selected.
In the case of AM-01-PW:
•Red LED means that the selected antenna is RTX for the band in use.
•LED off means that the antenna is not selected.
