CONNECTIONS The RF connections are made via two “N-type” female connectors. The RF connector labeled “BASE” must be connected to the antenna pointing towards the base station. The RF connection labeled “MOBILE” must be connected to the antenna / passive DAS facing the area to be covered by the BDA.
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.
AVAILBLE, OPTIONAL FEATURES (Cont.) • DC28 Powered DC Only @ + 28 VDC • LGHT Lightning Protection on UL/DL Ports • RED - Red Enclosure to signify equipment is for public safety. Please verify your local requirements. • ACSP AC Surge Protection and DC Line Conditioning (Required if powered by generator) •...
VARIABLE GAIN ADJUSTMENT AND LED INDICATORS • AC Power LED - Illuminates when the AC voltage is supplied, the unit is ON, and the AC/DC power supply is operating. • DL ALC LED - Illuminates when DL composite power reaches the ALC set •...
INSTALLATION DO NOT APPLY A.C. POWER TO THE UNIT UNTIL CABLES ARE CONNECTED TO BOTH PORTS OF THE BDA AND THE ANTENNAS. Set the BDA on the floor or mount on a wall (where applicable). Using appropriate screws and anchors, attach the BDA to the wall at the four mounting holes on the side flanges. (Special version not shown in this manual).
Verify the downlink in-building signal strength and the uplink signal strength at donor antenna meets requirements. Reduce the gain if needed (increase attenuation). Note: Operation of BDA-PS7W-37/37-90-N at maximum gain with greater than -30 dBm average power incidents on the MOBILE or BASE ports could cause damage to the BDA.
DIAGNOSTICS GUIDE The BDA provides long term, care-free operation and requires no periodic maintenance. There are no user-serviceable components inside the BDA. This section covers possible problems that may be related to the installation or operating environment. Gain Reduction Possible causes: Defective RF cables and RF connections to antennas, damaged antenna or Leaky cable Occasional Drop-out of some Channels Possible causes: One channel with very strong power dominates the RF output of the...
