Where the descriptions are valid for all 4 receiver multicoupler models, the figure in the model designation is replaced by “…”, as example: PRO-AR…G. 2 Safety precautions This equipment is not suitable for use in locations where children is likely to be present. Environment The PRO-AR…G is intended for indoor use only.
This manual contains description, installation and documentation of the PROCOM types PRO-AR4G, PRO-AR8G, PRO-AR12G and PRO-AR16G, which are active receiver multicouplers with one input (ANT) intended for connection of RF signal (antenna signal) and 4, 8, 12 or 16 identical outputs (RX1 to RX4/8/12/16) intended to provide RF signal (antenna signal) for a similar number of individual receivers.
The amplifier system compensates for the n-way splitter loss + circuitry insertion loss. In PRO-AR4G, the ANT signal feeds an amplifier, which is provided with a 4-splitter circuitry at the output. The outputs from the splitter form the 4 identical RX outputs.
The power splitter circuitry is of the Wilkinson type and provides high isolation between the individual RX outputs, ensuring insignificant low mutual coupling between the connected receivers. See chapter 5: Block diagrams. The RF amplifiers have low noise figure to ensure lowest possible signal-to-noise ratio deterioration of the distributed RX signal.
Front view The front plate is identical on all 4 receiver multicoupler models, except for the height: PRO-AR4G and PRO-AR8G are 1HU (44.45 mm) high. PRO-AR12G and PRO-AR16G are 2HU (89.9 mm) high. The front plate is provided with 2 pcs. 7 x 10 mm oval mounting holes in each side, intended for rack mounting of the multicoupler, using M6 screws.
Front view of PRO-AR4G/PRO-AR8G: Mounting Mounting holes Power on LED holes POWER Receiver Distribution Panel Rear view The rear panel of the multicouplers is provided with ANT and RX RF connectors, mains power and DC power inlets, and holders for both mains and DC fuses.
12 VDC models: 10.8 – 14.4 VDC 24 VDC models: 20 – 32 VDC 48 VDC model (only PRO-AR4G): 40 – 60 VDC On the top plate next to the screw terminal block are indicated the polarity of the screw terminals: –...
7.3.4 Floating DC power input The DC power input is floating, which means that both the + and the – terminal are internally isolated from ground. This means that the DC power input can operate with both positive and negative supply voltage referred to ground.
Connection of receivers The individual receivers’ antenna inputs (RF inputs) shall be connected by a suitable coax cable to the output connectors marked “RX1 to 4”, “RX1 to 8” “RX1 to 12” or “RX1 to 16” (depending on model) on the rear edge of the receiver multicoupler top plate. If the receiver multicoupler has unused RX output ports, these shall be terminated with a 50 Ω...
