Receiver MulticouplersPRO-AR 12 & 16 channel

19" Rack-Mountable Receiver Multicoupler series for the VHF through low UHF bands 30 MHz - 960 MHz

Description

OBS: The Receiver Multicouplers PRO-AR4 & PRO-AR8 versions are discontinued.
They are replaced by the present new Dual Amplifier Receiver Multicouplers PRO-DAR4 & 8 channel.
PRO-DAR (www.amphenolprocom.com)

For use where a number of receivers have to share the same antenna.
Active wideband receiver multicoupler for the VHF and low UHF bands with 1 input and 12 or 16 outputs.
Allows a number of receivers to share the same antenna without interaction and loss of signal.
Wide frequency range: Covers 30 MHz – 960 MHz.
If only a smaller frequency range is desired, a preselector filter can be built in to prevent possible interference from strong transmitters outside the frequency band of interest. Amphenol Procom offer a wide range of both band selective and narrow-band low-loss filters suitable for preselector use.
Please refer to the preselector overview and specify frequency range when ordering.
Ultra-high dynamic range amplifier built in to compensate for loss in multicoupler network.
Push-pull high-current amplifier design ensures outstanding multicoupler linearity and high reject of especially even-order distortion products.
Handles even very strong RF signals with negligible levels of IM and harmonic distortion.
Low amplifier noise figure ensures lowest possible S/N deterioration of the received and distributed RF signals.
High isolation between receiver outputs.
Operates on 230 V AC or 115 V AC mains supply 12 V or 24 V DC supply.
Galvanically isolated power supply with power backup function.
Automatic switching to DC supply if the mains supply fails.
”POWER ON” lamp on front.
Mains supply connector: IEC type fitted with noise filter.
DC supply connector: Terminal block fitted with noise filter.
RF connectors: N-female on all ports (other types on request).
19” rack module housing.
Only 2 HU (1 height unit = 44.45 mm).
Comes as standard with anodized alu. color front plate.
As option available with black powder lacquered front plate.

Please Note:
Power cable is not included, must be ordered separately, see Accessories.
