1.6 Warnings and Hazards
Opening the PSR-VU-9537-UA could result in electric shock and may
cause severe injury.
WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK
Working with the PSR-VU-9537-UA 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
Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.
In accordance with the FCC regulations (90.219), this device must meet 5W ERP requirements.
FCC RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT Guidelines
Opening or tampering the PSR-VU-9537-UB will void all warranties.
WARRANTY
Lithium Battery: CAUTION. RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.
Preclude indications that Home/ personal use are prohibited.

Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
14
Use of unauthorized antennas, cables, and/or coupling devices not conforming with ERP/EIRP is
prohibited.
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
NOTE: This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital
device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at their own expense.
FCC Part 15 Class A
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.
Part 90 Signal Boosters This is A 90.219 CLASS B DEVICE

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.
(Max. peak gain: 18 dBi)
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.
(Max. peak gain: 18 dBi)
RSS-GEN, (6.8 Transmit antenna)
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 450 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.
L’antenne (ou les antennes) doit être installée de façon à maintenir à tout instant une distance
minimum de au moins 450 cm entre la source de radiation (l’antenne) et toute personne physique.
Cet appareil ne doit pas être installé ou utilisé en conjonction avec une autre antenne ou émetteur.

2. INSTALLATION
2.1 Wiring Compartment
The bottom of the PSR-VU-9537-UBis a wiring compartment with pre-cut holes. These holes are designed to be
used in conjunction with conduit hubs to prevent water ingress. A total of 8 pre-cut holes are available to use for
the various cables that will be needed for the proper operation of the repeater.
To maintain UL 2524 Listed status, unused ports must be properly weather proofed.

2.2 Wire Terminals
Non-power limited cables such as the AC power line and the DC battery line shown below in red must be
separated by ¼” from power limited cables such as the donor/server, ext. alarm, and annunciator lines shown below
in black. To maintain the ¼” spacing, route the annunciator line above the server line as shown in the picture below.
2.2.1 AC 100-240V Terminal Block
The AC 100-240V Terminal Block is located on the left side of the wiring compartment. One side of the terminal
block will be pre-wired and connected to the PSU and the chassis ground. The open terminals must be connected
to an AC power source between 100-240V AC and secured in an electrical breaker box on its own circuit. The
terminal block can support up to a cable gauge of 12AWG.
