E-mail: office@devabroadcast.com ,Web: www.devabroadcast.com Panel Indicators, Switches and Connectors OLED DISPLAY DB7001 has easy to read, high-resolution OLED graphical display that visualizes all measurements of the received signal and DB7001 settings. SOFT BUTTONS Used for navigation through the menus, quick access to the parameters, modes, functions and to alter their values.
For normal operation of DB7001, we recommend following the instructions listed below. • Install the unit in places with good air conditioning. DB7001 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 DB7001 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: DB7001 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. - 17 -...
Multipath distortion is especially troublesome in FM stereo reception. DB7001 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 DB7001 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.
