Figure 2: AC In Port 3.2.2 Battery Port The PSR78 can be connected to an ADRF-BBU (ADRF Battery Backup) to provide power during a power failure. If an ADRF-BBU is utilized, connect the ADRF-BBU to the PSR78 via the external battery port as shown in Figure 4. Figure 3: Battery Backup Port (WARNING: The circuit switch on the ADRF-BBU must be set to OFF before connecting the ADRF-BBU to the PSR78 to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.) Note: Please contact ADRF Technical Support for assistance if you are unfamiliar with the installation procedure of our battery box. 3.2.3 Power Switch The power switch is located on the inside of the repeater. Open the 2 latches on the side of the repeater to open the top cover. Once opened, the power switch is located on the bottom left of the power supply. Figure 4: Battery Backup Port
PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 Page | 13 3.2.3 Ethernet Port and Host/Remote Switch The Ethernet Port and Host/Remote switch are located underneath the waterproof cover. Loosen the hand-screws and remove the cover to expose the Host/Remote switch and the Ethernet port to gain access to the system. Once the system is configured, it is recommended replace the cover and tighten the screws back into place. Ethernet Port The Ethernet port can be used to communicate directly with the PSR78 using a RJ-45 crossover cable or can also be used to connect the PSR78 to an external modem box. Host/Remote Switch The Host/Remote Switch allows the user to switch the default Repeater IP, Subnet Mask, and Gateway of the repeater to an alternative setup. These settings can be adjusting by logging into the repeater in HOST mode and configuring the settings under the Modem Box Setting section on the Install Page (section 4.4). 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. Figure 4: Ethernet Port and Host/Remote Switch 3.2.4 RF Ports The donor and server antennas connect directly to the PSR78 using the ports listed below:  S7 DONOR- 700 MHz Donor Antenna  S8 DONOR- 800 MHz Donor Antenna  S7 SERVER- 700 MHz Server Antenna  S8 SERVER- 800 MHz Server Antennas Figure 5: PSR78 RF Ports 3.2.5 Ext. ALARM Port The PSR78 uses the open collector method. The Ext. Alarm port allows the PSR78 to send out dry contact AAI alarms to an alarming panel. The PSR78 can receive a voltage up to +24V on the “+” line. Figure 6: Ext. ALARM Port
PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 Page | 14 3.5 Installation 3.5.1 Wall Mount Procedure The wall-mounting bracket has six mounting holes which are used to mount the bracket to the wall. The wall bracket must be securely attached to the wall in order to support the weight of the PSR78. After mounting the bracket to the wall, the PSR78 is placed on the mounting bracket using the four guard screws attached to the PSR78. The following steps should be followed while mounting the repeater: ① Take the PSR78 out of the box. ② Using the six anchor bolts, mount the bracket on the wall. ③ Make sure the bracket is securely mounted. ④ Slightly tilt the top portion of the repeater and mount the repeater onto the wall as shown in figure 4 in the illustrations below. Hook the upper 2 guard screws first and then slide/push in the lower 2 guard screws into place. ⑤ Make sure the PSR78 is securely placed onto the wall bracket. ⑥ Fasten the 8 bracket screws back properly on both sides. ⑦ Verify that the repeater is secure and properly grounded. Figure 7: Wall Mount Instructions
3.5.3 Grounding Install the ground cable which is included in the package on the side of the repeater as show in the figure below. Figure 8: Wall Mount Instructions
PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 Page | 2 3.5.4 Antenna Separation/Isolation Separation between the antennas is necessary to prevent oscillation. Oscillation occurs when the signal entering the system continually reenters, 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 Figure 9: RF Repeater Oscillation 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. A sufficient isolation value is 13 ~ 15 dB greater than the maximum gain of the repeater. For example, if the gain of the repeater is 50 dB, then an isolation of 63 ~ 65 dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the PSR78 has a maximum gain of 90 dB, it requires an isolation of at least 103 ~ 105 dB.
PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 Page | 3 3.5.5 Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the base station typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal. As a result, the repeater cannot transmit signal to the coverage area. Therefore, a direct line of sight to the BTS for the donor antenna is vital to the function of a repeater. For the same reason, placing the server antenna in direct line of sight of the coverage area is also necessary. Figure 10 - Direct Line of Sight to the BTS

PSR78 Repeater User Manual V0.1 Page | 23 Appendix B: 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 exist. 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 exist. 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 on its HPAs permanently until a reset is performed.
