I.  INTRODUCTION 

 
 

PURPOSE OF MANUAL: 

 
 

The purpose of this manual is to outline the installation, describe the operation, 

and assist in the maintenance and trouble-shooting for the Programmable Bi-directional 
Booster Amplifier (PBBA), Model 50289-RBA-800MHz. 
 
MANUAL OUTLINE: 
 
 

Section II:

   

Section II covers the general specifications of the PBBA.  This 

section outlines the general, mechanical and electrical specifications including the 
module specifications (sub-assemblies). 
 
 

Section III:   

Section III covers the instructions for installing the PBBA, site 

requirements, and equipment initialization. 
 
 

Section IV: 

Section IV cover operating procedures. 

 
 

Section V: 

Section V is the recommended schedule of periodic maintenance 

of the PBBA. 
 
 

Section VI: 

Section VI covers the general “Theory of Operations” of the logic 

and modules of a PBBA.  This section is designed to aid in the understating of the 
PBBA. 
 
 

Section VII: 

Section VIII consists of diagrams, tables and procedures to assist 

in the troubleshooting of an PBBA.  This section is designed to guide a technician in 
locating system fault(s) to the module.  Included in the section is a list of recommended 
test equipment. 
 
 

Section VIII: 

Section IX consists of the schematic, assembly drawings, and 

parts list of the PBBA and it’s sub assemblies/ 
 
 

Section IX:
