Don’t bring ever the UBBV preamplifier in contact with water. Don’t use it if it is
raining. The sensitive electronic system could otherwise be damaged.
Because of the high sensivity the electonic system of the UBBV preamplifier is
very shock- and impact-sensitive. Always treat your preamplifier carefully. Don’t
let the UBBV falling down, as it could be damaged.
We recommend to use always our transport case for storage and trans-
port.
The UBBV preamplifier is maintenance-free. Please clean it therefore only out-
side with enclosed cleaning brush or a damp cloth. Don’t use cleaning supplies.
ATTE TIO :
Please screw antennas and adapter always in a non-violent way with the
UBBV preamplifier. Please use for loosening or screwing of SMA-
connections O LY the enclosed SMA tool, which offers a over-tightening
protection.

WAR I G:
Please avoid to overstress the UBBV-preamplifier by inputting to much
power as otherwise the UBBV preamplifier could be damaged. The maxi-
mum peak-power, which you can put at the input of the preamplifier, is
20dBm.
The output power of the UBBV-preamplifier could be up to 20dBm.
Please ensure that your connected measurement unit will not be dama-
ged due to this power.
Please check before initial operation the completeness of delivery. Please
reclaim missing parts immediately at Aaronia or at your Aaronia dealer.
Included in delivery are the following items:
(1) Cleaning brush
(2) SMA adapter for operation with external devices (optional)
(3) UBBV preamplifier with integrated battery

There are different versions of the UBBV-preamplifier available, which only vary
in the SMA connections. At all versions the position of the input and output are
identical:
The input of the UBBV-preamplifier is always located at the site which is bent
outwards.
The output of the UBBV-preamplifier is always located at the site which is bent
inwards.
Version #1: Input: Female with SMA jack; Output: Male with SMA plug and cap
nut.
This version can for instance be mounted directly at the front part of our SPEC-
TRAN measurement devices. Please see the instruction in section 4.0
„Operating at SPECTRAN”.
By using our optional SMA adapter the version #1 can be also inserted between
two SMA cables (see instruction at section 5.0 „Operating at external devices“).
Here the SMA adapter is screwed at the male SMA plug with cap nut. You will
receive then a further female SMA plug.
Version #2: Input: Male with SMA jack and cap nut; Output: Female with SMA
jack.
This version is fixed screwed with our Hyper OG X antenna series and is spe-
cially suited for the respective antenna (see instruction at section 6.0
„Operating at Hyper OG X antennas“) and therefore cannot be used for other
purposes!

Please put the enclosed mounting brackets
consistently and in a non-violent way in the
intended slots of the SPECTRAN until it
locks firmly.
Please put then the protruding mounting
brackets of the SPECTRAN consistently and
in a non-violent way in the intented slots of
the UBBV-preamplifier until the SMA jack of
the SPECTRAN and the SMA plug of the
UBBV-preamplifier lock in place together.
Screw then with enclosed SMA tool the SMA
plug of the preamplifier with the SMA jack of
the SPECTRAN. Avoid tilting the UBBV-pre-
amplifier in order to avoid damaging the sen-
sitive SMA jacks. Screwing should be carried
out very smooth. Refrain from using force!
As soon as you feel any resistance, please
retighten the screw connection. Do this also
in a non-violent way! The SMA tool offers a
over-tightening protection and starts to slip
down if too strong forces are affecting.
The UBBV-preamplifier should be now firmly
fixed with the SPECTRAN without wobbling.
Please leave always, if possible, the both
devices connected as every removal and
re-assembly could wear out the SMA
jacks and could cause damages!
ATTE TIO : If you don’t use the SPEC-
TRAN together with our CS or MCS soft-
ware, you have to activate the UBBV-pream-
plifier in the menu “RefOff” (by choosing the
headword “UBBV12”) in order that the
SPECTRAN is calibrated correctly!

By using our SMA adapter you can
equip the male output of version#1 of
the UBBV-preamplifier with a female
SMA jack.
That way the in- and output of our
UBBV-preamplifier can be connected
with one of our optional 1m, 5m or 10m
SMA cables and you can plug in any
spectrum analyzer, oscilloscope, anten-
na etc..
If your measurement unit or antenna is
equipped with a N-input, you will need
our optional SMA to N adapter as well.

Version #2 (Input: Male with SMA jack and cap nut; Output: Female with SMA
jack) is fixed screwed with our Hyper OG X antenna series and is specially sui-
ted for the respective antenna and therefore cannot be used for other pur-
poses!
Nevertheless the preamplifier can be
mounted and removed as follows:
Please put the protruding mounting
brackets of the Hyper OG antenna con-
sistently and in a non-violent way in the
intented slots of the UBBV-preamplifier
until the SMA jack of the Hyper OG
antenna and the SMA plug of the UBBV-
preamplifier lock in place together.
Screw then with enclosed SMA tool the
SMA plug of the preamplifier with the
SMA jack of the Hyper OG antenna.
Avoid tilting the UBBV-preamplifier in
order to avoid damaging the sensitive
SMA jacks. Screwing should be carried
out very smooth. Refain from using
force! As soon as you feel any resi-
stance, please retighten the screw
connection. Do this also in a non-violent
way! The SMA-tool offers a over-tigh-
tening protection and starts to slip down
if too strong forces are affecting. The
UBBV-preamplifier should be now firmly
fixed with the Hyper OG antenna with-
out wobbling.
ATTE TIO : Please leave always the
UBBV-preamplifier connected to the
antenna (as delivered) as every remo-
val and re-assembly could wear out the SMS jacks and could cause dama-
ges!

Operating at SPECTRA :
If you are using our SPECTRAN, you
can connect the UBBV-preamplifier at
the SPECTRAN as described in section
„4.0 Operating at SPECTRAN“. After this
please put the SMA cable of the PBS
Probe Set directly at the installed UBBV-
preamplifier.
Operating at external devices:
If you are using our UBBV-preamplifier
together with an external device, you
have to equip the UBBV-preamplifier
with our SMA adapter according to
instruction „5.0 Operating at external
devices“.
Thereafter you can connect directly the
SMA cable of the PBS Probe Set to the
SMA jack.
