E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com Introduction DEVA Broadcast Ltd. is an international communications and high-technology manufacturing organization, its corporate headquarters and facility located in Burgas, Bulgaria. The company serves the broadcast and corporate markets worldwide – from consumers and small businesses to the largest global organizations.
The Band Analyzer function of the DB7000 presents an overview of all FM signals available, plus the RF signal strength of these stations. Scans are possible within any section of the band in the FM band in 3 different modes.
BLOCK DIAGRAM Simplified block diagram of DB7000: Because of the all-digital, minimalist-discrete-component nature of the device circuitry, we have not provided schematic diagrams of the DB7000 in this Manual. Please, note that: NO USER-SERVICEABLE COMPONENTS INSIDE. REFER ALL SERVICING TO QUALIFIED TECHNICAL PERSONNEL.
The servicing of electronic equipment should be performed only by qualified personnel; • Before removing the covers DB7000 must be switched off and the mains cable unplugged; • When the equipment is open, the power supply capacitors should be discharged using a suitable resistor;...
For normal operation of DB7000, we recommend following the instructions listed below. • Install the unit in places with good air conditioning. DB7000 is designed to operate within the ambient temperature range of 10 to 50°C. The equipment rack should be ventilated in order for the device to keep its internal temperature below the maximum ambient temperatures;...
The usage of an external antenna is required because DB7000 is used for off air re-broadcasting away from the transmitter site. Proper outdoor FM antenna, antenna location and direction should be selected.
- 100-240 VAC; - 1Amp Fuse. CAUTION: DB7000 will be damaged permanently if improper AC power supply voltage is applied. The warranty DOES NOT cover damages caused by applying improper supply voltage or usage of improper fuse. - 15 -...
E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com Panel Indicators, Switches and Connectors OLED DISPLAY DB7000 has easy to read, high-resolution OLED graphical display that visualizes all measurements of the received signal and DB7000 settings. SOFT BUTTONS Used for navigation through the menus, quick access to the parameters, modes, functions and to alter their values.
Multipath distortion is especially troublesome in FM stereo reception. DB7000 has a multipath distortion detector and Front panel multipath LED indicator with adjustable threshold. A bar graph indicator representing the multipath level of the received signal can be reached under LEVELS menu.
Poor frequency planning may also result in the mutual interface between the broadcasting stations. The inherent broad bandwidth of DB7000 re-broadcast receiver is vulnerable from stations working on the nearby frequencies, where signal strength will be the most important factor – the stronger the interfering station, the stronger the interference effect.

57kHz; The amount of each signal contained in the final MPX signal is called injection level. DB7000 has a built-in stereo generator and Radio Data Systems (RDS/RBDS) encoder. MPX out Configuration There are three types of MPX signal that you can choose from: 1.
MPX limiter The regulatory authorities, in most countries, require the total deviation not to exceed 75kHz (100%). Therefore, DB7000 has a built-in MPX limiter that restrains the deviation below the predefined threshold. The preset threshold is 75kHz (100%). The MPX limiter has 6 levels of processing: - 0 –...
