Product Certification/Registration Information

The serial number may be found on the label on the rear panel of the unit. For your convenience, note
this number below. Retain this manual, along with proof of purchase, to serve as a permanent record of
your purchase for future reference or in the event of theft.

Safety Guidelines
The general safety information in this guideline applies to both operating and service personnel. Specific warnings and
cautions will be found in other parts of this manual where they apply, but may not appear in this summary. Failure to comply
with these precautions or specific warnings elsewhere in the manual violates safety standards of design, manufacture, and
intended use of equipment. Cellular Specialties, Inc. assumes no liability for the customer’s failure to comply with these
requirements.

Grounding

This amplifier system is designed to operate from 120 Vac @ 1.3A maxpower and should always be operated with the
ground wire properly connected. Do not remove or otherwise alter the grounding lug on the power cord.

Explosive Atmospheres

This product has an integral circuit breaker, which may cause an electrical flash if the breaker should reset. To avoid
explosion or fire, do not operate this product in the presence of flammable gases or fumes.

Lightning Danger

Do not install or make adjustments to this unit during an electrical storm.

No User Serviceable Parts Inside

HAZARDOUS VOLTAGES ARE PRESENT WHEN THE COVER IS REMOVED. Opening the chassis will void your
warranty. If you suspect a malfunction with this product, call your dealer or the Cellular Specialties Support Line at
[phone].

Product Description

Cellular Specialties, Inc. (CSI) developed the LCD Model Bi-Directional Amplifier (BDA) for use in enclosed structures where
sufficient signal from local cell sites to operate cell phones was unavailable within the building. It is necessary that sufficient
signal be available on the roof of the structure. The BDA is connected to an external antenna, usually on the roof, and to one or
more internal antennas placed strategically throughout the area where phone service is desired.
The external antenna is usually a directional type such as a “Yagi”. Internal antennas are usually omni directional, although
various other types may be used for certain installations. The BDA amplifies both the “uplink” (phone to tower) and “downlink”
(tower to phone) signals thus facilitating communications to and from the local cell site.
There are seven amplification stages on the downlink and seven on the uplink for a total of +80dB nominal gain for each link.
Gain can be set using the LCD display and select/up/down switches. There are also LED indicators on the top cover for power
overload and gain reduction to prevent oscillation.

LED Indicators

Warning: The unit has sensed instability due to insufficient isolation between the inside antenna and the
outside antenna, and has reduced the gain of the amplifier. This is done to prevent oscillation, which can
interfere with the handsets in the covered area and/or the wireless service provider’s base station.

Fault: The gain of the unit has been reduced to a minimum in order (Red) to prevent very strong input
signals from overloading the amplifier. The amplifier will attempt to recover from this condition, initially at
fifteen-second intervals and then at four-minute intervals.

An automatic amplifier safety shutdown circuit is also incorporated that will disable the transmitters should the uplink or downlink
overloads be reached to prevent excessive intermodulation and oscillation. The amplifier will periodically attempt to recover
from this condition.

The BDA is also equipped with an interface connector (RJ-15) designed for use with an optional remote monitor. A second
Connector (RJ-11) is used for remote monitoring and shutdown. The RJ-11 pin-out is listed below.
