1. INTRODUCTION
The MBS Units are the outdoor modules that make up a Mast Mounted Base Station (MBS).
They are independent units that can be interconnected with each other to increase the base
station capacity. A MBS consists of a maximum of two MBS Units.
This manual is common to all the equipment models, including all their options and
accessories.
The proper operation of any electronic device depends on its correct use. Therefore, it is
recommended to follow the instructions showed in this manual.
2. UNPACKING AND CHECKING
The equipment is supplied with all the necessary materials for the installation, either on a
mast/pole or on a wall:
MBS Unit includes the followings items
One power connector.
One Ethernet connector
RF super-flexible wire N-Male – N-Male.
Brackets for the installation.
Besides, in some types of installation, as detailed below, it is necessary an additional
material that is NOT supplied with the equipment.
IMPORTANT: If any of the necessary elements to carry out the installation process
described in this guide is missing or damaged, please contact your supplier.
3. PREVIOUS CONSIDERATIONS
This manual contains information about instructions for installation, maintenance and use.
Read the following pages before using this equipment.
It is not advisable to switch on the equipment without having previously connected the
antenna otherwise irreparable damage could be. It is important to use an antenna adjusted
to the work frequency.

4. INFORMATION ON SAFETY AND ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY
Most electronic equipment is susceptible to electromagnetic
interference if it is not duly protected. If the MBS Unit is placed near
unprotected electronic devices, they may malfunction.
The MBS Unit must not transmit without its antenna connected.
When installing the antenna, follow the guidelines for exposure of the
human body to high and low frequency electromagnetic fields. Follow
the supplier’s / manufacturer’s instructions.
Burns may be suffered if the antenna connector output is touched by
bare skin when the MBS Unit is transmitting with the antenna
disconnected.
Take care when handling the MBS Unit. It has edges, which may cut if
handled incorrectly.
Maintenance and repair of these repeaters must be carried out by
qualified personnel only.
