1.4 Warnings and Hazards
Opening the PSR-78-9537 could result in electric shock and may cause
severe injury.
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.
WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RF
Operating the PSR-78-9537 with antennas in very close proximity facing
each other could lead to severe damage to the repeater.
WARNING! DAMAGE TO REPEATER
Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 400 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
Opening or tampering the PSR-78-9537 will void all warranties.

the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
Regulatory Warning Statement

Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
14
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. Unauthorized use may result in significant forfeiture
penalties, including penalties in excess of $100,000 for each continuing violation.
FCC Part 90 Class A
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 15.21
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.
RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2–(transmitters)

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.
RSS-GEN, Sec. 7.1.2–(detachable antennas)
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 400 cm 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.
RF Radiation Exposure
This 3.5dB back off is only required when multiple carriers are present in the pass-band.

◈LABEL WARNING◈
Antennas must be installed in accordance with FCC 90.635. With 17 dBi gain antennas the height of
the antenna above average terrain (HAAT) must not exceed 59.96 m. For different gain antennas
refer to the relevant rules.

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 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 range input of 100-240V AC.

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.
