Installation Instructions MBSR100MW MBS Repeater U.S Patent #4,791,717, #5,020,149 READ ME FIRST! The EMCEE MBSR100MW is a professional solid state low-power MBS Band retransmission repeater (amplifier) system, and is formed from a combination of a pre-selected frequency input pre-amplifier module (P/N 701007) and an AGC controlled 100mW post amplifier module (P/N 50800002A), each of which is in a separate chassis/housing and connected via an interconnecting coaxial cable with Type ‘N’ connectors. The system is capable of retransmitting from one to seven MBS channels with either analog NTSC or digital modulation. The system provides an end-to-end electrical gain typically 70dB. The system has no frequency generating circuits, and as such, the output carrier frequencies and modulations are dependent on the inputs. The pre-amplifier contains a dual section inter-digital filter system which provides high Q MBS pass-band circuitry at the input stage. This is to prevent pre-amplifier input overloads due to out of band interference from close stations utilizing the LBS and UBS bands. The input pre-selection also prevents the retransmission of out of band signals. The output (post) amplifier has an output AGC range of 20dB, with a 20dBm average power output power threshold. The AGC circuitry is designed to provide a constant low distortion output with varying input signal power levels due to fades and other signal anomalies. The system has the following average output power capability: 1 Channel @ 20dBm/Channel ±1dB (20dBm Composite Power) 2 Channels @ 17dBm/Channel ±1dB (20dBm Composite Power) 4 Channels @ 14dBm/Channel ±1dB (20dBm Composite Power) 7 Channels @ 11dBm/Channel ±1dB (20dBm Composite Power) Warning: DO NOT EXCEED 20dBm Composite Power Output! PLANNING the INSTALLATION Proper installation pre-planning will yield the best performance of the installed system. DANGER WATCH FOR WIRES You can be KILLED!

If this product comes near electric power lines. ©2007 EMCEE Communications Field deployment and configuration of the system includes fitting the system with the appropriate receive and re-transmit antennas. Typically, narrow beam parabolic reflectors are used to provide the necessary input/output link budget and output coverage area. The system, fully into the AGC range, has a maximum input power level of -35 dBm and is labeled “DO NOT EXCEED -35 dBm Input” accordingly. A typical installation will have input link characteristics as follows: Base Station EIRP (maximum) 60.0 dBm 10 Mile Path Loss -124.9 dB Receive Antenna Gain (typical) 24.0 dBi System Input Level - 40.9 dBm System Gain 70.0 dB Inter-Connecting Cable Loss -3.0 dB Transmit Antenna Gain (typical) 24.0 dBi EIRP 50.1 dBm Using a spectrum analyzer in the channel power mode, measure the RF output power level from the prospective receive antenna and confirm that the input power level is between -35 and -47dBm. If necessary, use a larger or smaller antenna to adjust the input level accordingly. As an alternate method, if the receive antenna output level is too high, a 50 Ohm, type ‘N’ attenuator may be used. Note: DO NOT use attenuators between the pre-amp and post-amp sections of the system. The repeater system has ~70dB of electrical gain plus the gain of the receive and transmit antennas. It is important that the transmit and receive antenna installation provides a high degree of isolation (at least 100dB) between them so the system does not oscillate due to feedback. This can be accomplished through vertical separation and cross-polarization of the antennas (50 feet recommended), providing input to output shielding by using building blockage or other means, while using good field engineering and installation practices. Install the pre-amplifier module as close as possible to the receive antenna to minimize the noise figure of the system. Also install the post-amp module as close as possible to the transmit antenna. Utilize a premium low-loss cable with quality connectors between the pre-amp and post-amp modules for the best performance results.

SERVICING the SYSTEM There are no internal user adjustments or user serviceable parts inside the unit. Do not disassemble the unit; the Warranty will be void if the unit is opened. If either module does not properly function, return it to the factory for repair or replacement. UNPACKING the SYSTEM Remove the power supply, then insert a finger into the finger hole of the inner carton liner, lift to expose unit and accessories. Remove the “L-Screw” from the mounting bracket and replace the bracket as shown. Install the power supply indoors close to an available AC outlet. Use a good quality RG-6 cable (min.) to connect the power supply between module power input and the power inserter. ATTACHING MODULES to the ANTENNA MAST Mount the modules with the connectors facing down. Slide the mounting clamp into the indentations on the housing and up into place. Hand-Tighten the “L-Screw” to secure the module to the antenna mast or tower leg. DO NOT use a wrench or pliers to tighten the “L-Screw”. Mast or tower leg size can be 1” to 2-1/2”. CONNECTING THE MODULES Connect the antenna output connector to the RF Input ‘N’ connector on the pre- amp module. Connect the RF inter-connecting cable ‘N’ connector to the ‘N’ jack marked RF output. Connect the RF inter-connecting cable ‘N’ connector to the RF input connector of the post-amp module. EMCEE MBSR100MW Installation Instructions Page 4 DANGER WATCH FOR WIRES You can be KILLED!

BMTMBSR100MW OPERATIONAL DESCRIPTION The MBSR100MW is a solid state low-power MBS Band retransmission repeater (amplifier) system, and is formed from a combination of a pre-selected frequency input pre-amplifier module (P/N 701007) and an AGC controlled 100mW post amplifier module (P/N 50800002A), each of which is in a separate chassis/housing and connected via an interconnecting coaxial cable with Type ‘N’ connectors. The system is capable of retransmitting from one to seven MBS channels with either analog NTSC or digital modulation. The system provides an end-to-end gain of about 70dB. The system has no frequency generating circuits, and as such, the output carrier frequencies and modulations are dependent on the inputs. The pre-amplifier contains a dual section inter-digital filter system which provides high Q MBS pass-band circuitry at the input stage. This is to prevent pre-amplifier input overloads due to out of band interference from close stations utilizing the LBS and UBS bands. The input pre-selection also prevents the retransmission of out of band signals. The output (post) amplifier has an output AGC range of 20dB, with a 20dBm average power output power threshold. The AGC circuitry is necessary to provide a constant low distortion output with varying input signal power levels. Field deployment and configuration of the system includes fitting the system with the appropriate receive and re-transmit antennas. Typically, narrow beam parabolic reflectors are used to provide the necessary input/output link budget and output coverage area. The system, fully into the AGC range, has a maximum input level of -35 dBm and is labeled “DO NOT EXCEED -35 dBm Input” accordingly. A typical installation would have input link characteristics as follows: Base Station EIRP (maximum) 63.0 dBm 10 Mile Path Loss -124.9 dB Receive Antenna Gain (typical) 24.0 dB System Input Level - 37.9 dBm The spectral performance of the system complies with FCC §27.53. All construction and manufacturing techniques are in accordance with accepted principles of good engineering and manufacturing practice. The system is powered with a low voltage (16-24VDC) supply and requires low current (<1 Ampere), and as such, no hazard to operating personnel exists. The pre-amp and post amplifier modules are sealed, therefore there are no user serviceable parts or adjustments inside.
