Matchmaster 14MM-SM90-5G Smart Amplifier User Manual

Quick guide from the manual

The Matchmaster 14MM-SM90-5G is a smart amplifier designed to scan channels, amplify weak signals, and maintain strong ones. Key operational points include:

• Installation: Mount the unit vertically in a well-ventilated area with at least 15 cm of clearance.
• Autoscan: The device performs an automatic channel scan upon power-up. A blinking green LED indicates scanning; solid green indicates it is ready.
• Reset/Reprogram: If channels are missing after a power outage, unplug the power supply and plug it back in within 6 seconds to force a re-scan.
• Compatibility: Does not support pass-through DC-power for pre-amplifiers or active antennas.

Product Description

This smart amplifier features SAW filters for LTE (4G/5G) protection on all inputs and is housed in an outdoor weatherproof mast-head housing. It automatically recognizes the applied country channel plan and provides equal and stable output power across all channels.

Hardware Installation

Follow these steps to install the amplifier:

1. Connect your terrestrial antennas to the Smart Amp.
2. Connect the Smart Amp output to the Power Supply.
3. Connect your TVs to the Power Supply.
4. Ensure the module is mounted vertically to the mast or a wall.

Important: Maintain a minimum space of 15 cm around the product to guarantee maximum ventilation.

Autoscan and Reprogramming

The device automatically scans for channels when powered on. If you need to force a channel scan or reprogram the device due to missing channels:

• To Force Scan: Unplug the power supply and plug it back in within 6 seconds.
• Status LED: Blinking green means scanning. Solid green means ready. Red indicates an error; if this occurs, unpower and repower within 6 seconds to restart.
• Note: If a power interruption lasts longer than 6 seconds, the device retains its initial settings and does not perform a new scan.

Duplicate Channel Settings

The amplifier allows you to manage duplicate channels via a switch:

• Duplicate Channel Switch OFF: The weakest channel is rejected.
• Duplicate Channel Switch ON: The weakest channel is converted to the LTE band.

Maintenance and Safety

To ensure the longevity and safety of the device:

• Clean the cabinet only with a dry, soft cloth; do not use solvents.
• Install in a dry location without infiltration or condensation of water.
• Do not expose the unit to rain, moisture, dripping, or splashing.
• Use only in moderate climates; avoid tropical climates.
• Ensure the mains plug remains readily operable.
• Do not open the housing of the adapter to avoid electrical shock.
