With the MTL381 Remote Expander the remote operation of the
TETRA radio MTM800 FuG, the MTM5400 respectively, can be
operated at a distance of up to 1000 metres from the radio set. A
CAT 7 S/FTP Ethernet cable is used a connection line in a 1:1
connection with RJ45 plug system.

The MTL381 consists of the components MTL381-Radio and
MTL381-Head. The MTL381-Radio is connected to the radio set
via a short 10 pin Y cable. The MTL381-Head is provided with
power by the 12V/1A power supply unit included in the supplies.

As option a loudspeaker (4 or 8 ohm) can be connected.

Note

Firmware and Codeplug of the radio set and of the con­trol head must fit together .

Attention

Interference possible:
The baud rate of the radio set must be changed to
115200 baud using the Motorola programming soft­ware CPS.
You can obtain further information from your radio re­tailer or ATS Elektronik.

least 30 seconds before restart after a line interruption.

4.3 Loudspeak er

The optional loudspeaker is connected to the 2 pin, horizontal

outlet at the rear of the MTL381-Head. Depending on the length
of the CAT 7 S/FTP Ethernet extension cable and the loudspeak­er type, the volume of the loudspeaker has to be adjusted as de­scribed in the following. The shorter the connection cable, the
lower the volume of loudspeaker outlet has to be adjusted. The
factory default setting is very low for short connection cables.
