Explains ALC for output power limiting and the variable step attenuator function.
Describes the Mini-BDA's use as a line amplifier with an optional external bias-tee.
Details operating temperature and airflow requirements for standard indoor use.
States indoor units are not designed for outdoor use or enclosures, which can cause damage.
Warns against using unstable power sources like generators, as it voids the warranty.
Standard feature with local LED lights indicating various failures.
Option for powered DC only at +28 VDC.
Option for AC Surge Protection and DC Line Conditioning, required if powered by generator.
9-Pin connector for remote alarming via dry contact for amplifier failures.
The BDA uses an external power supply connected via a single pin 15V DC input.
RF connections are made via two Type 'N' female connectors labeled 'BASE' and 'MOBILE'.
Advises isolation between antennas should be 15 dB higher than BDA gain to prevent oscillations.
Mount the BDA on the wall with RF connectors pointing DOWN using appropriate screws.
Ensure isolation between donor and service antennas is at least 15 dB greater than BDA gain.
Connect the donor antenna to 'BASE' and service antennas to 'MOBILE' connectors.
Verify both attenuators are set to maximum (30 dB) on the front panel.
Connect power cord and verify the 'Power ON' lamp is illuminated.
Warns that the device is not for consumer use and requires FCC/ISED licenses or consent.
Explains the ALC feedback loop for sensing and limiting output power to a factory preset level.
Step-by-step guide for setting gain on Uplink/Downlink paths using attenuation and LEDs.
Warns that operating at max gain with > -30 dBm input can damage the BDA.
