Mini-BDA INSTALLATION
DO NOT APPLY A.C. POWER TO THE Mini-BDA UNTIL CABLES
ARE CONNECTED TO BOTH PORTS OF THE Mini-BDA AND THE
ANTENNAS.
1. Mount the Mini-BDA on the wall with the RF connectors pointing DOWN. Using
appropriate screws and anchors, attach the Mini-BDA to the wall at the four mounting
holes on the side flanges.
2. Ensure that the isolation between the donor antenna and the service antenna is at
least 12 dB greater than the Mini-BDA gain. (Use the higher of the Uplink and
Downlink gains reported on the Mini-BDA test data sheet).
3. Connect the cable from the donor antenna to the Mini-BDA connector labeled
“BASE” and the cable from the service antennas to the Mini-BDA connector labeled
“MOBILE”.(Note: If used as a line amplifier, connect the external bias-tee between
the service antenna cable and the Mini-BDA connector labeled “MOBILE”, with the
RF+DC side of the bias-tee connected towards the service antenna cable.)
4. Connect the 2.5mm connector of the Wall Plug-In power adapter to the Mini-BDA
and then to the AC power source. Turn the Power switch to the “ON” position and
verify that the “System GO” lamp is illuminated.
Installation of the Mini-BDA is now complete. To adjust the gain controls to suit the
specific signal environment, refer to the next section of the manual.
