Digital RF Power Monitor
3024
The COMM-connect 3024 RF Power Monitor from LBA Technology can control up to 8 external RF Measuring heads. The high dynamic range with external couplers and RF measuring heads cover from 1W to 1MW. The Power conversion algorithms handles multi carrier, multi mode, peak, average and RMS signals. The power readout is auto scaled and VSWR can be calculated between any probes. Also the measured and calculated results along with alarms can be shown in the local LCD. The instrument has SNMP support to allow network management. The instrument can be configured for VSWR and Power limits to give alarms. The alarms can be configured to operate relay drivers or isolated Optcouplers. The alarms can also be configured as SNMP traps sending relevant information to the network control center. The COMM-connect 3024 WEB enabled RF Power Monitor gives an unlimited number of applications to monitor and control the last part of your RF network installation from transmitters to the antenna.

Lightening Protection
Towers & Antennas
LBA offers a wide variety of lightning air terminals in the form of lightning dissipaters. Sometimes called a static dissipater, or static dissipation array, this relatively new and advanced air terminal replaces conventional lightning rods in most applications. It functions as a streamer retarding air terminal.

Lightning Masts
PLP- 32
PLP- 32 Lightning Masts are recommended for a wide range of lightning protection applications where it is impossible or undesirable to attach conventional lightning terminals. Other models in the series share the same attributes and differ only in height and weight.PLP-32 Lightning Masts provide a cone of protection within which lightning charges are diverted to the mast and grounded instead of to the protected object. Multiple PLP-32 masts may be used to protect extended areas. Protected areas may be determined by use of the widely accepted “rolling sphere” concept. For example, a single PLP-32 mast will protect 9 foot (2.14 m) high portable buildings wholly within a 40 foot (12.19 m) radius. An array of five PLP-32 masts will protect a camp of portable buildings within a 25,000 square foot (2323 m2) area. Consult LBA Technology™ for specific layouts you wish to protect.

Manpack MW Antenna
TGR-50 class
The TGR-50 class of rapidly deployable AM antennas is designed for easy transport and erection by limited personnel. No tower climbing or sophisticated lifting equipment are required for installation by a crew of three or four persons. Weight and packaging, according to model, typically permits transport by bearers, light vehicle, small boat, or helicopter. Disassembly and relocation is similarly convenient.

RF Inductors
LBA Technology "Blue Line" RF inductors are based on over 30 years of proven international performance. Blue Line inductors are unsurpassed for hi-Q, stability, and low RF losses. These inductors are manufactured from heavy silver plated copper conductors and brass fittings, treated to resist tarnishing. Windings are insulated with melamine or G-1 0 epoxy laminates. These materials are recognized for their exceptional RF qualities, arc resistance, mechanical strength, and low moisture absorption. Supporting frames are engineered to permit maximum access to windings for convenience in adjustment. The metallic frames are separated by insulators to prevent induced current flow.

RF Monitor Recertification
The use of RF personal monitors is widespread among wireless tower climbers and technicians. This is a relatively new development of the last five years or so. Prior to that, only a few monitors were in use. These were typically models developed for use by engineers, with a host of features not needed for routine climber protection. Consequently, they were expensive and not frequently used. As safety managers have begun to require all personnel working on wireless facilities to have personal monitors among their personal protective equipment, a new generation of cost effective equipment has emerged.

Static & Lighting Chokes
Lighting chokes are used to pass tower lighting voltages across the base insulator of a series-fed tower without appreciably altering the tower impedance. LBA TC-300 general purpose tower lighting chokes are provided for three wire 110/220 VAC circuits. Maximum current is 25 amps. These chokes are rated for peak base voltages to 10,000 volts, and present a typical reactance of +j5000 ohms at 530 kHz. Bypass capacitors are provided on each winding.
