Chapter 1_Overview of the DBC-1200 Lite

The Technetix DBC-1200 Lite ampliﬁer is a cost eective end-ampliﬁer solution for locations where modularity is not

a necessity. This is a single active output, non modular version of the DBC-1200 end ampliﬁer which uses the same

management software.

The ampliﬁer provides reverse path transmission with a hybrid ampliﬁcation stage.

Forward and return path attenuation can be adjusted with electronic attenuators. Electronic equalisers are available

for forward and return path equalisation. Coax cable simulation is provided by a JXP plug-in device. This can be

installed in the location AUX DS.

The DBC-1200 Lite has a highly ecient long-life switch-mode power supply available in local and remote powered

version. The remote powered version supports both sine and block wave.

Beneﬁts of the DBC-1200 Lite ampliﬁer:

!Full digital control and set-up

!Improved intermodulation distortion performance - innovative GaN technology operates to 1218 MHz

!Energy ecient hybrid technology provides more gain without increasing the power consumption

!Technetix CPD Safe® technology and surge protection means fewer reported faults, improved

customer service and a reduction in truck rolls.

!Based on the outstanding technology of the DBC-1200 ampliﬁer

!Has very low power consumption while providing optimal performance.

Chapter 3_Installing the DBC-1200 Lite

3.1 Housing mounting

There are two options for mounting the DBC-1200 Lite ampliﬁer:

1. Using integrated side brackets

Integrated side brackets can be used as shown below. The holes are suitable for bolts or screws

with maximum diameter of 6 mm.

2. Rear mounted using integrated screw holes

For mounting directly onto a cabinet back panel, the rear 6 mm bolt holes (M6) can be used with two 6 mm

threaded bolts (see following picture). Ensure when using this method of mounting that the bolt’s threaded part

is no longer than 10 mm in length when protruding through the back board that the ampliﬁer will be mounted onto.

The total length of the bolt to be used is 10mm + back board depth + washer depth. (M6 bolts are not delivered

with the ampliﬁer).

IMPORTANT: 1: Distance is 19.5 cm (including 0.25 cm - center point distance).

2: Distance is 14 cm (including 0.25 cm - center point distance).

3.2 Installing coaxial (RF ports)

The DBC-1200 Lite ampliﬁer has one input RF port and two non power-passing RF output ports (Port 1 and Port 2).

All RF ports are PG11 threaded and are protected by plastic dust covers which must be removed before installing

the coaxial connectors.

The ampliﬁer can be factory equipped with PG11 to 5/8” adapter rings. Unused ports must be closed with an end plug

or coaxial connector to ensure the DBC is water tight

Technetix double spring technology has the following advantages:

!BeCu spring contact with NiSn plating provides a secure, simple and repeatable installation

!Less sensitive to human error such as incorrect screw torque

!No cold ﬂow (a screw will get loose over time)

!The spring will adjust to temperature changes while maintaining a perfect connection.

Installing the coaxial connectors

1. Cut the connector pins to a length between 28-32 mm (total) as shown on the drawing of the ampliﬁer (Fig. 1).

IMPORTANT: the total pin length = pin length and connector thread length.

2. Push the connector pin ﬁrmly in the port hole (Fig. 2). The ampliﬁer is equipped with a double spring contact, so

no screw is needed to fasten the coaxial connector pin.

3. Tighten the connectors into the housing in accordance with the connector manufacturer’s speciﬁcation.

The recommended torque force for the PG-11-5/8 adapter ring is 15-16 Nm and 11-13 Nm for the coaxial connectors.

Pin length 28-32 mm

3.3 Closing ampliﬁer lid

When closing the ampliﬁer lid please ﬁrst use a hex key to tighten the four hand bolts lightly in the

following sequence:

Then, using a torque wrench set to a torque value of 6 Nm, go round again in sequence and tighten

to the ﬁnal torque setting.

Following this sequence ensures:

1. The rubber gasket between the lid and the ampliﬁer housing is sealed correctly, providing a sound, watertight seal

to prevent water ingress.

2. There is a good RF seal between the RF gasket in the lid and the ampliﬁer housing to prevent RF ingress/egress.

3. Good lid to housing contact for the dissipation of ampliﬁer heat is required. The lid acts as a radiator when

it is correctly secured, keeping the ampliﬁer operating temperature down within parameters when installed

as recommended.
