INSTALLATION:
DO NOT APPLY A.C. POWER TO THE RHBDA UNTIL CABLES ARE
CONNECTED TO BOTH PORTS OF THE RHBDA AND THE
ANTENNAS.
1. Mount the BDA on the wall with the RF connectors pointing DOWN. Using
appropriate screws and anchors, attach the 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 BDA gain.
(Use the higher of the Uplink and Downlink
gains reported on the BDA test data sheet).
3. Connect the cable from the donor antenna to the BDA connector labeled “BASE”
and the cable from the service antennas to the BDA connector labeled “MOBILE”.
4. Open the main access front panel of the BDA and verify that both of the
attenuator’s are positioned to its maximum setting (30 dB). Close the main panel.
5. Connect the AC power cord to the BDA and then to the power source. Verify that
the “Power ON” Green LED indicator is illuminated.
Installation of the BDA is now complete. To adjust the gain controls to suit the specific
signal environment, refer to the next section of the manual.
Note: For repeat installations of existing equipment, make sure the attenuation
is positioned to its maximum setting (30 dB). After verification of the
attenuation, follow the above steps starting with step 1.
