6. INSTALLATION
6.1 Wall Mounted Equipment
The procedure for installing and commissioning a wall-mounted Bi-Directional Amplifier unit
is generally as follows:
1 Fix the unit in the chosen position. Ensure the mounting site is a straight, smooth,
perpendicular surface (brick or concrete recommended).
2 Fix the two antennas and connect them to the BDA.
3 Connect a suitable mains and/or battery power supply to the unit.
4 Calculate the attenuation settings required for the uplink and the downlink paths, and set the
attenuators as described elsewhere in this document.
5 Switch the BDA mains on with the small switch located inside the unit on the lower right
hand side of the case.
6 Make test calls via the equipment to ensure correct operation, if possible monitoring the
signal levels during these calls to ensure that the uplink and downlink RF levels are as
anticipated.
