2Safety Information
Before using the matrIQ Switch module, ensure that the following safety information has
been read and understood.
WARNING
•Do not install or terminate fibers while a light source is active.
Care must be taken to ensure that the instrument has been turned
OFF before inspecting the end face(s) of the instrument, or any
optical patch cords connected to this instrument. Never look
directly into a live fiber; ensure that your eyes are protected at all
times.
•The use of controls, adjustments and procedures other than those
specified herein may result in exposure to hazardous situations or
impair the protection provided by this unit.
CAUTION
The matrIQ Switch instruments are sensitive to electrostatic discharge
(ESD). Store the instruments in protective electrostatic packaging.
IMPORTANT
•For electromagnetic compatibility, this instrument is a Class A
product. It is intended for use in an industrial environment. There
may be potential difficulties in ensuring electromagnetic
compatibility in other environments, due to conducted as well as
radiated disturbances.
•Wherever the symbol is printed on the unit, refer to the
instructions provided in the device documentation for related
safety information Ensure that the required conditions are met
and understood before using the product.

Status LED
The Status LEDs are used to denote the operation state of the matrIQ Switch, and will indicate
which state the switch is in.
The different colors have slightly different meanings for the different matrIQ Switch models.
3.2.1 For matrIQ Switch: 1x1 and 1x4 models
•Blinking yellow - Indicates initialization on startup.
•All off - Indicates that the matrIQ Switch is in the PARK state (State 0).
•Solid green - Indicates which state the matrIQ Switch is routed to.
•Solid red - Indicates a Switch error. Most often this means an invalid route position.
3.2.2 For matrIQ Switch: Crossover models
The matrIQ Switch -XXX4 is a 2x2 crossover switch. This means that it has only 2 valid states:
Transmit (T) and Cross.(C)
•Solid green - Indicates which state the matrIQ Switch is in (default is T)
•Solid red - Indicates there was an error in switching states. Only 1 LED will light up.
3.2.3 For matrIQ Switch: Duplex models
The matrIQ Switch -XXX5 is a duplex switch. This means that it has only 2 valid states: 1and
2.
•Solid green –Indicates which state the matrIQ Switch is in (default is 1)
•Blinking red - Indicates there was an error in switching states. Only 1 LED will light up.
3.2.4 For matrIQ Switch: 1xN models
•Blinking yellow - Indicates initialization on startup.
•Solid green - Indicates successful initialization and communication.
•Solid red - Indicates a Switch error. Most likely an initialization error at startup.

4Connecting Optical Input
IMPORTANT
To ensure maximum power and to avoid erroneous readings always
inspect fiber end faces. Make sure they are cleaned as detailed below
before inserting into any port. Coherent Solutions is not responsible for
damage or errors caused by bad fiber cleaning or handling.
CAUTION
The type of optical connectors on the matrIQ Switch instrument can be
found printed on the front plate of the module. Joining mismatched
connectors will damage the ferrules and fibre faces.
Cleaning and Connecting Optical Fibers
To connect the fiber-optic cable to the port:
1. Inspect the fiber using a fiber inspection microscope. If the fiber is clean, proceed to
connect it to the desired port. If the fiber is dirty, clean it as detailed below.
2. Clean fiber ends as follows:
aGently wipe the fiber end with a lint-free swab dipped in isopropyl alcohol.
bUse compressed air to dry completely.
cVisually inspect the fiber end to ensure its cleanliness.
3. Carefully align the connector and port to prevent the fiber end from touching the outside
of the port or rubbing against other surfaces. If the connector features a key, ensure that
it is correctly mated into the corresponding notch of the port bulkhead.
4. Push the connector in so that the fiber-optic cable is firmly in place, thus ensuring
adequate contact. If your connector features a screw sleeve, tighten the connector
enough to firmly maintain the fiber in place. Do not over tighten, as this will damage the
fiber and the port bulkhead.
Note: If your fiber-optic cable is not properly aligned and/or connected, you will notice large
signal loss and reflection.
Coherent Solutions uses high quality connectors in compliance with EIA-455-21A standards.
To keep connectors clean and in good condition, Coherent Solutions strongly recommends
inspecting them with a fiber inspection probe before connecting them. Failure to do so will
result in permanent damage to the connectors and degradation of future measurements.

5matrIQ Installation Information
IMPORTANT
If another matrIQ instrument is already connected to the client
computer over USB, consult the Network and Update settings
section below on configuring the Ethernet/USB IP address for multi
instrument control.
Communication with the matrIQ Switch can be realised over an Ethernet or USB connection.
Both connection methods will allow control of the instrument through the cohesionUI™
graphical user interface and with SCPI commands.
In order to control or communicate with the matrIQ Switch, a USB driver needs to be installed
onto the client computer.
The matrIQ Installer (included on the provided USB drive as MatrIQ-1.X.X.exe) will install the
driver and create a Desktop icon to help connect to the cohesionUI running on your matrIQ
Switch instrument.
The matrIQ Installer is also available for download at:
https://www.coherent-solutions.com/resources/matriq/
1. Run the matrIQ Installer
Double click and run the MatrIQ-1.X.X.exe matrIQ Installer from the provided USB drive.
2. Run the matrIQ application
Double click and run the MatrIQ desktop application.
Follow the on-screen prompts from the MatrIQ application landing page to use cohesionUI to
control the matrIQ instrument.
