2.2 Host / Remote Switch
The Host/Remote Switch allows the user to switch the default Repeater IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of the
Ethernet port of the repeater to an alternative setup. These settings can only be adjusted by logging into the
repeater under HOST mode and configuring the settings under the Modem Box Setting section on the Install
Page (section 5.4.6).
Once the settings are set, flipping the switch to the REMOTE position will reboot the repeater with the new
alternate settings. Please note that when the repeater is set to the REMOTE position, DHCP is disabled and the
repeater will not automatically assign an IP address to any device that connects directly to the repeater.
Host IP: 192.168.63.1 (Fixed IP, unable to modify this IP address)
Remote IP: 192.168.63.5 (Default IP, but can be modified in Host mode)

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.
The RF connections must be made using cables with an impedance of 50 ohms.
The separation between the 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.
To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an appropriate distance to provide
sufficient isolation. Isolation is attained by separating antennas a sufficient distance so that the output of one
antenna does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent on the gain of the repeater.
DONOR – 4.3-10 female which is used to connect the donor antenna (700MHz + 800MHz PS)
DONOR_CPL (30dB) – SMA female 30 dB coupling port which is used to monitor the amplified UL signal
SERVER_CPL (30dB) – SMA female 30 dB coupling port which is used to monitor the amplified DL signal
SERVER – 4.3-10 female which is used to connect the server antenna (700MHz + 800MHz PS)

2.3.4 Back Up Battery Port
This port connects to the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 (24V battery backup unit) via a dedicated cable provided by the
ADRF.
Figure 2-7 Battery Backup Port
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.
Figure 2-8 Battery Switch
The PSR-78-9533 can be connected to an ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 to provide power during a power failure. If an ADRF-
BBS/BBL-24 is utilized, connect it to the PSR-78-9533 via the external battery port.
(WARNING: The circuit breaker switch on the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 must be set to OFF before connecting it to
the PSR-78-9533 to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 and personal injury.)
Note: Please contact ADRF Technical Support for assistance if you are unfamiliar with the installation procedure
of the battery box.
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.

2.3.5 Grounding
A ground cable is included in the box. The grounding terminal is located at the lower right-hand side of the BDA.
The grounding cable should be properly connected before powering on the equipment.
Figure 2-9 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.
2.3.6 Ethernet Port
The GUI port can be used to communicate directly with the PSR-78-9533 using an RJ-45 crossover cable. The
weatherproof cap must first be unscrewed to gain access to the GUI port.

4.2 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.
Figure 4-2 RF Repeater Oscillation
To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an appropriate distance to provide
sufficient isolation. Isolation can be attained by separating antennas at a sufficient distance so that the output
of one antenna does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent on the gain of the repeater.
Recommended isolation value is 15dB greater than the user-set gain of the repeater. For example, if the user-
set gain of the repeater is 50dB, then an isolation of 65dB or greater is required. In the same manner, to utilize
the maximum gain of 95dB of the PSR-78-9533, an isolation of at least 110dB is required.

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. Connect the AC power cord to the BDA and turn on the switch at the left of PSU.
5. Installation of the BDA is now complete. Adjust the gain controls to suit the specific signal environment
through the GUI on your PC.
- To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an appropriate distance to
provide sufficient isolation. Isolation is attained by separating antennas a sufficient distance so that the
output of one antenna does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent on the gain of the
repeater.
- Prior to equipment use, the device must be registered with the FCC. This can be done through the FCC’s
website at https://signalboosters.fcc.gov/signal-boosters

10. APPENDIX
10.1 Shutdown Retry Logic
The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hard-
fail 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 of 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. If the hard-fail alarm still exists, then the repeater will shut down for 1 minute (double the time of the
previous shutdown time).
After 1 minute has elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check to see if the hard-fail alarm still
exists. If the hard-fail alarm still exists, then the repeater will shut down for 2 minutes (double the time of the
previous shutdown time).
The shutdown routine will repeat itself a total of 10 times. If the hard-fail alarm still exists after the 10th retry,
then the repeater will turn off its HPAs permanently until a reset is performed or factory set is executed.
