2. Warnings and Hazards
Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 50 cm while operating near the donor and the server antennas. Also, the donor
antenna needs to be mounted outdoors on a permanent structure.
RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT Guidelines
Operating the Axiom with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe
damage to the repeater.
WARNING! DAMAGE TO REPEATER
Working with the repeater while in operation, may expose the technician to RF electromagnetic fields that
exceed FCC rules for human exposure. Visit the FCC website at www.fcc.gov/oet/rfsafety to learn
more about the effects of exposure to RF electromagnetic fields.

3.2 Switches and Ports
3.2.1 AC In Port
The AC In Port is designed to work with the power cable that is included with the system.
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.

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

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

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.

4. PSR78 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 a RJ-45 crossover cable. To connect to the repeater remotely,
you will need to have an active internet connection and the repeater must have either an internal modem or an Omnibox
(ADRF Modem Box) connected to the repeater.
4.1 Repeater/PC Connection Using Web-GUI
A. Verify that your Local Area Connection is set to Obtain an IP address automatically under the Internet Protocol
(TCP/IP) properties
If you are connecting to the unit remotely, then skip steps A and B.
B. Connect the RJ-45 crossover cable between the laptop’s Ethernet port and the repeater’s Ethernet port
C. Launch an Internet Browser
D. Type the following IP address into the address bar of Microsoft Internet Explorer: http://192.168.63.1
If you are connecting to the unit remotely, then type the IP address of the modem to connect to the unit
E. The following login screen will appear:
If you are not the Administrator, please type in your assigned username & password which you should have
received from the Administrator.
The default username and password for the General User is adrf & adrf, respectively.

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.
