USER’S MANUAL
Signal boosters such as the M4BBDAV generate radio signals and,
therefore, electromagnetic fields. The technical personnel should
have a complete understanding of FCC CFR Title 47 sections 1.1307
and 1.1310. Recommendations are included in this Manual, but
they do not substitute the FCC guidelines.
M4BBDAV Key Features:


Broadband Class B Signal Booster, per FCC Part 90.
Maximum Output Power at the antenna port +37 dBm per
carrier.
This device may require the use of antennas for proper functioning,
depending on the application. The installation of the antennas
should be performed by qualified technical personnel. All antennas
should be fixed mounted and physically secured to one location
The people must be away from the antennas at least 1.0 meters to
comply with the RF Human Maximum Permissible Exposure limits, as
long as the antenna system gain is lower than 7 dBi. If greater gain is
used the separation should be increased, please refer to the FCC
Rules.
If service should be performed on the antenna, please shut down
the transmitter or lower its power in order to comply with the
maximum permissible exposure.

USER’S MANUAL
SYSTEM DESCRIPTION
The system houses multi-carrier linear broadband power amplifiers and
automatic level control. The amplifiers are designed with special linear
characteristics for continuous operation, 100% duty cycle 24 hours/7 days a
week. Its modular construction allows easy access to the amplifier modules
and power supply.
It has a maximum gain around 60dB across the band. The output power
amplifier P1dB Compression point is around 20 Watts (+43 dBm). They also
have an automatic gain control range greater than 25dB.
The amplifiers modules are bolted down onto a heat-sink base. These heat
sinks have adequate capacity to dissipate five times the maximum
anticipated heat being generated by the amplifiers. It is recommended the
temperature of the room be maintained below 800 F to assure the longest
possible life of the amplifier transistors. The power supply has +28 VDC module
for the amplifiers, equipped with over current and over voltage protection
among other features. It will immediately drop the supply voltage to prevent
damage to other components.
The unit’s operational parameters are stored in the non-volatile memory of
the embedded controller; this allows the booster to operate on a standalone
basis. The built-in Web Server provides a Graphical User Interface (GUI) to
ease in remote monitoring & control. Access is obtained via a PC’s Web
Browser and a TCP/IP connection to the Unit. The system can be connected
directly to a PC computer or can be plugged into the local area network.
Some pages shown by the Web Server are the following:


“Main Status”: depicts status alarm indicators and meters.
“Main Settings”: is used to configure system-level macro settings.
Never operate the system without adequate Load/Termination on the RF Out
port. The Web Server allows to Mute/Un-mute Power Amplifiers in “Main
Settings” page. Make sure the power amplifiers are un-muted before start
with the test.
