Prelimimary Model AMP2440P REMOTE BI-DIRECTIONAL POWER AMPLIFIERS FOR 2.4 GHz User and Installation Manual Version 1.0P June 1999 \manuals\AMP2440P-FCC.doc IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Connecting the RF output of a radio modem transmitter to a high gain antenna will result in concentrated signal level near the antenna. The field strength radiated by these antennas, when connected to a transmitting Model 2400 Radio Modem with AMP2440P, may exceed FCC mandated RF exposure limits. FCC rules require professional installation of theses antennas in such a way that the general public will not be closer than 70 cm from the radiating aperture of any of these antennas. End users of these systems must also be informed of this safety distance requirement. LIMITED WARRANTY Young Design, Inc. (YDI) warrants that your device is free of defects in material and workmanship for a period of one year after initial purchase. YDI will repair or replace any YDI product returned to the factory freight prepaid within one year of the purchase date. The YDI warranty covers repairs or replacement (at YDI’s option) of the product only. YDI is not responsible for the cost of removal, reinstallation, or shipping to the place of repair. YDI does not extend or modify its warranty period as a result of repair or replacement. YDI reserves the right to void a warranty and/or bill reasonable charges for repair of a unit if the warranty seal is broken or the unit displays evidence of misuse, abuse, or tampering. YDI is not responsible for damage to any other equipment or property, or any other consequential or incidental damages of any kind, whether based on contract, negligence, or strict liability.

WARRANTY NOTICE The AMP2440P warranty is null and void if any of the following occurs: 1. The amplifier is opened. 2. The antenna connections are not properly waterproofed. 3. The amplifier is operated with no antenna attached to the antenna connector. 2 TABLE OF CONTENTS 1.

Description The AMP2440P is a bi-directional amplifier designed for extending the range of 2.4 GHz wireless LAN cards. The Model AMP2440P amplifier is intended only for use with the YDI Model WL2400-PCM and the WL2400-ISA 2.4 GHz Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum Wireless LAN cards. The units provide transmit power amplification as well as receive signal gain. The amplifier is installed right at the antenna’s feed point, providing maximum effectiveness of transmit power. This has the effect of compensating for signal loss in the transmitter cable to the antenna. Likewise, the Low Noise Amplifier (LNA) in the AMP2440P boosts the receive signal right at the antenna prior to experiencing the loss in the transmission cable to the radio. This gain also overcomes the losses in the transmission cable between the amplifier and the radio. In fact, use of the amp will actually increase the receiver sensitivity by a few dB! The ultimate result is the best possible noise figure and maximum receiver sensitivity. The amplifier is completely weatherproof and can be bolted to the antenna mast or tower leg using the U-bolt included. The connectors face down so that gravity will drain all water away from the amplifier enclosure. This will prevent water from settling on the face of the unit. Likewise, since the LEDs are also facing downward they can be checked for operation from the bottom of the mast. DC Power to the amplifier is supplied through the transmission cable, using an indoor power supp…
