GSTeletech, Inc. 5 1.2 ISED Warning state 1.2.1 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. Conformément à la réglementation d’Industrie Canada, le présent émetteur radio peut fonctionneravec une antenne d’un type et d’un gain maximal (ou inférieur) approuvé pour l’émetteur par Industrie Canada. Dans le but de réduire les risques de brouillage radioélectrique à l’intention desautres utilisateurs, il faut choisir le type d’antenne et son gain de sorte que la puissance isotroperayonnée quivalente (p.i.r.e.) ne dépassepas l’intensité nécessaire à l’établissement d’une communication satisfaisante. 1.2.2 RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2 – (detachable antennas) This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number, or model number if Category II)has been approved by Industry Canada to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum permissible gain and required antenna impedance for each antenna type indicated. Antenna types not included in this list, having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type, are strictly prohibited for use with this device. Le présent émetteur radio (identifier le dispositif par son numéro de certification ou son numéro de modèle s’il fait partie du matériel de catégorie I) a été approuvé par Industrie Canada pour fonctionner avec les types d’antenne énumérés ci-dessous et ayant un gain admissible maximal et l’impédance requise pour chaque type d’antenne. Les types d’antenne non inclus dans cette liste,ou dont le gain est supérieur au gain maximal indiqué, sont strictement interdits pour l’exploitation de l’émetteur. 1.2.3 RSS-131 Section 5.3 User Manual This user manual shall contain the following information on the enhancer: 1) The nominal passband gain (dB); 2) The nominal bandwidth; 3) The rated mean output power; 4) The input and output impedances, and;
GSTeletech, Inc. 6 Item Spec. Remarks The nominal passband gain 95dB The nominal bandwidth 18MHz The rated mean output power +33dBm The input and output impedances 50Ω 5) Caution "The Manufacturer's rated output power of this equipment is for single carrier operation. For situations when multiple carrier signals are present, the rating would have to be reduced by 3.5 dB, especially where the output signal is re-radiated and can cause interference to adjacent band users. This power reduction is to be by means of input power or gain reduction and not by an attenuator at the output of the device." 1.2.4 RF Radiation Exposure This equipment complies with RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of at least 100 cm with 15dBi antenna gain between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter. RF exposure will be addressed at time of installation and the use of higher gain antennas require larger separation distances. L'antenne du donneur a une antenne 15dBi gain.Antenna doit être installé pour maintenir en tout temps un minimum de distance d'au moins 100 cm entre la source de rayonnement (antenne) et toute personne physique. Cet appareil ne doit pas être installé ou utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur. 1.2.5 ISED warning label 1) Booster Warming Label is attached left side of Ps-ELITE7833.

GSTeletech, Inc. 13 The PSU supply power to the system. The PSU receives 110V AC power and supplies + 28V DC and + 6V DC to the system. In the event of an AC power failure, the system can be powered by receiving a -48V DC power through the battery. The battery voltage input to the PSU should be -48V. If + 48V is used, the electrodes must be reversed when connecting the battery. If the required battery voltage is not used or the electrode is not suitable, the PSU may be damaged or not functioning normally. The Company shall not be held liable for the problems caused by this. 7) Control Board The control board performs functions such as system control, communication. And alarm information share through the external alarm connector. System control and communication functions are available via the Web UI and SNMP via the system RJ - 45 Port, Alarm Information Sharing is Ext. It can be connected to the External Alarm Panel via the Alarm Connector for use. 8) Battery Backup Port The system can use the battery backup system. In this case, the battery output should be -48V DC and the use of other voltage batteries are not permitted. If user wants to use the + 48V DC battery, cross the system's electrode and battery electrode when connect the battery to the system connector. User can’t be held responsible for any problems that arise from not following these recommendations 9) Ext. Alarm Connector Ext. Alarm Connector is a port used to share alarm information generated by the system with external alarm panel. Alarm information is shared through dry contact. Mapping between Alarm and Connect can be confirmed by the following table. 10) Network / UI Port The system supports Web UI or SNMP function through Ethernet to improve accessibility of external network and user. To this end, the user can connect a cable to the RJ-45 connector. All connectors and cables used should be waterproof. 11) AC Input Connector The voltage input to the system is 110V AC and the voltage input such as 220V AC is not approved.
