1.4 Warnings and Hazards WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK Opening the PSR-78-9533-XB could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury. WARNING! DAMAGE TO REPEATER Operating the PSR-78-9533-XB with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe damage to the repeater. RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT Guidelines Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
Preclude indications that Home/ personal use are prohibited. Use of unauthorized antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices not conforming with ERP/EIRP is prohibited. FCC Part 15.21 Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate this equipment. FCC Part 15 Class A NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules.
RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2– (transmitters) Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.
◈LABEL WARNING◈ Part 90 Signal Boosters This is A 90.219 CLASS B DEVICE WARNING. THIS is NOT a CONSUMER device. It is designed for installation by FCC LICENSEES and QUALIFIED INSTALLERS. You MUST have an FCC LICENSE or express consent of an FCC Licensee to operate this device. You MUST register Class B signal boosters (as defined in 47 CFR 90.219) online at www.fcc.gov/signal-boosters/registration.
2. 2.1 OVERVIEW LED PSR-78-9537-XB LED indicator lights are located on the inside of the repeater towards the bottom. Below the LED indicators is a button that is used to trigger the door open alarm.
Figure 2-2 2.3 Host/Remote Switch Cable Connection 2.3.1 AC Power AC power is accepted through a standard 3-wire male plug (MS3106A-22-2S) with phase, neutral, and ground leads. The AC power is wired to a high-efficiency DC switching power supply which is UL approved. The AC port is located at the bottom of the repeater and has a free-voltage range input of 100-240V AC.
2.3.2 External Alarm Figure 2-5 External Alarm Port This port should be connected only to the fire alarm control panel.
2.3.3 RF Figure 2-6 RF Ports The RF connections are made via two 4.3-10 female connectors. The RF connector labeled “DONOR” must be connected to the antenna pointing towards the base station. The DONOR port can receive both 700 and 800MHz public safety signals. The RF connection labeled “SERVER” must be connected to the antenna facing the area to be covered by the BDA. The repeater has a single SERVER port that supports both 700 and 800MHz public safety signals.
2.3.5 Battery Backup Port This port connects to the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 (24V battery backup unit) via a dedicated cable provided by the ADRF. Figure 2-8 Battery Backup Port (4-pin Female) If an ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 is connected to the repeater, the battery switch on the PSU must be switched to the ON position. This will enable the repeater to charge the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 battery backup unit when AC power is present.
2.3.6 Grounding The grounding terminal is located at the lower right-hand side of the BDA. A grounding cable should be properly connected before powering on the equipment. Figure 2-10 Ground Cable Terminal Ground terminals located on the side of the repeater and can support a ground cable up to 1.25mm² (16AWG) in diameter and should be permanently connected to a grounding bar.

Threshold = output power - 8dB. For example, if the repeater is outputting 24dBm and detects 16dBm of return power, then the VSWR will be triggered.

4.1.2 PSR-ANN Annunciator Installation The PSR-ANN annunciator box has been designed to either mount on top of the PSR-78-9537-XB repeater or can also be wall mounted separately. By default, the mounting bracket is configured to mount to the top of the repeater with the mounting bracket at the bottom of the PSR-ANN annunciator box. If individually wall mounting the PSR-ANN, then the bracket will need to moved from the bottom of the box to the back of the box.
Figure 4-3 Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
Antenna Separation/Isolation The separation between the donor and server antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually re-enters, due to the lack of separation between the donor and server antennas. In other words, the signal is being fed back into the system. This creates a constant amplification of the same signal. As a result, the noise level rises above the signal level. REPEATER PSR-78-9533 4.
DO NOT APPLY AC POWER TO THE BDA UNTIL CABLES ARE CONNECTED TO BOTH PORTS OF THE BDA AND THE ANTENNAS. 1. To mount on a wall. Using appropriate screws and anchors attach the BDA to the wall at the four mounting holes. 2. Ensure that the isolation between the donor antenna and the serving antennas is at least 15 dB greater than the BDA gain. 3. Connect the cable from the donor antenna to the BDA connector labeled “DONOR” and the cable from the serving antennas to the BDA connector labeled “SERVER”. 4.
5. PSR-78-9537-XB WEB-GUI SETUP The Web-GUI allows the user to communicate with the repeater either locally or remotely. To connect to the repeater locally, you will need a laptop with an Ethernet port and an RJ-45 crossover cable. To connect to the repeater remotely, you will need to have an active internet connection via an external modem or LAN. 5.

9. 9.8 APPENDIX Shutdown Retry Logic The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hardfail that the system may be experiencing. Within 5 seconds of a hard-fail alarm being detected, the repeater will start the shutdown routine. The repeater will shut down by powering off the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds. After 30 seconds have elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check to see if the hard-fail alarm still exists.
