AVAILABLE, OPTIONAL FEATURES 

The following options are available, (please review the specification provided with the 
unit, to verify the features included in your BDA ) 

 

Visual Alarms  

All G-Wave systems include local visual alarms as a 
standard. Local visual alarms are LED lights located in the 
unit that indicate various failures. For a list of corresponding 
alarms, please see Variable Gain Adjustment and LED 
Indicators. 

 

 

DC Input Power Option (S1)

 

 

The BDA is equipped with both AC and DC voltage inputs for 
power operation. This gives the flexibility of powering the BDA 
with either an AC or DC source. If both sources are 
connected, the BDA will automatically select the stronger 
voltage  source for power. 

(See  page 7 for Current Draw 

calculations) 

 

 

Local Alarming via dry contact 7-pin Connector (RM7)  

A 7-Pin dry contact will be provided to hard wire into a 
building’s  alarm system. Dry contact will provide alarms for 
ALC and amplifier failure. 
 

 

 

Local Alarming via dry contact 26-Pin Connector (026)  

A 26-Pin dry contact will be provided to hard wire into a 
building’s alarm system. Dry contact will provide alarms for 
ALC, amplifier failure, donor antenna failure and DC backup 
failure. 

(See details in appendix 1)

 

 

 

Oscillation Detector and Shutdown

 - 

ODSC / ODSCRM7

 

To minimize interference with other RF systems, this unit 
includes an Oscillation detection module that continuously 
monitors the BDA operation, in a case of Oscillation detection 
inside the BDA, the detector will shut down all the amplifiers to 
avoid RF interference with other systems in the area, when the 
Oscillation condition passes or is resolved, the ODSC 
operation will turn on all the amplifiers, returning to regular 
operation. The ODSCRM7 module will allow Oscillation detect 
/ display & shutdown of all amplifiers with local alarming via 
dry contact connector. A red LED located on the LED  panel 

(See Figure 5)

 illuminates when oscillation is detected.
