About This Manual The purpose of this manual is for the setup of Booster & DC Injector. This manual, revised as version 1.2 in 2003, includes the procedures to assist you in avoiding unforeseen problems.
FCC Notice Reminder: To comply with FCC part 15 rules, the Booster must only be used as a system as FCC certified. The system must also be professionally installed to ensure compliance with the Part 15 certification. It is the responsibility of the operator and professional installer to ensure that only certified systems are deployed in where FCC rules apply. Further, according to FCC Part 15 regulations, Section 15.

Chapter 1 Introduction K-Best’s Booster, operating on the 2.4GHz ISM band, is a high performance two-way amplifier using Time Division Duplex (TDD) technology. It is used outdoor to extend the range of wireless radio communication. K-Best’s DC injector (KBDC24E) functions as a provider of DC power to the outdoor booster or transponder through the feed cable without an additional power cord. The DC injector comes with different types of connector upon custom’s request .
1-2 Features and Benefits 2400~2500 MHz unlicensed ISM Band Provides DC Power to the booster without an additional Power cord Booster has 1W output power levels. 20dB(1W) receive gain for the booster Bi-directional TDD technology Transmitter and receiver LED indicator Waterproof housing Compatible with IEEE 802.
1-3 Specifications Specifications for DC Injector Operating Frequency Range 2400~2500MHz Bias Current / DC Voltage / Insertion Loss 1.5A (max.) / 15V (max.) / 1dB Connector / DC Jack N type female for both side / φ 6 mm, center pin φ 2.0 mm Dimensions / Weight 99.1(H)x53.5(W)x21.
Power Consumption 1watt, 950mA @ 9VDC LED Indication Transmit: Green; Receive: Red Dimensions / Weight 120(L)x72(W)x17.
1-4 Calculate Transmit Power In order to obtain the best performance of booster and system, user must calculate the transmission power to meet the booster technical requirement and FCC regulations(See Appendix B). It is advised that the user follows the calculation below: 1. Converter power of the access point from milliwatts to dBm. Note: dBm = 10 * Log(milliwatts) 2.
3. Calculate the actual power of booster in the pole as follow: Access point Power(dBm) – Cable Loss(dBm) – Misc. Loss = Input Signal Level(dBm) Note: Misc. Loss means loss of connector, adapter and DC injector and estimates to be around 2 dB. 4. If the input signal level exceeds the max. Transmitter Input Power or fails to meet the min. Transmitter Input Power of booster, the booster can’t identify the input signal.
1-5 Installing the Booster Kit Once input signal level is determined to be in conjunction with the technical requirement of booster, please proceed to install the booster kit with following procedures: 1. Connect the booster RF output directly to the antenna with appropriate cable. 2. Attach the booster RF input to the DC Injector with coaxial cable. Note: The type and gain of antenna or type and length of cable depend on your purpose of using booster. Please contact manufacturer for further information.

Notice: This device complies with part 15 of the FCC rules.
Appendix C: Troubleshooting If there is no signal output, please check the following item: 1. Check whether the LED indicator on the DC injector is on. If not, it means there is problem with the power component. (1) Check if the power cord is correctly connected with the power adapter and the power outlet. (2) Check if there is electricity on power outlet. 2. Check if the access point is working properly. 3.
