1.4.Compliance
1. Notice: For installations, which have to comply with FCC RF exposure requirements,
the antenna selection and installation must be completed in a way to ensure
compliance with those FCC requirements. Depending on the RF frequency, rated
output power, antenna gain, and the loss between the repeater and antenna, the
minimum distance D to be maintained between the antenna location and human
beings is calculated according to this formula:
]/[
][
][ 2
4cmmW
mW
cm PD
P
D
=
where
•P (mW) is the radiated power at the antenna, i.e. the max. rated repeater output
power in addition to the antenna gain minus the loss between the repeater and
the antenna.
•PD (mW/cm²) is the allowed Power Density limit acc. to 47 CFR 1.1310 (B) for
general population / uncontrolled exposures which is
oF (MHz) / 1500 for frequencies from 300MHz to 1500MHz
o1 for frequencies from 1500MHz to 100,000MHz
RF exposure compliance may need to be addressed at the time of licensing, as
required by the responsible FCC Bureau(s), including antenna co-location
requirements of 1.1307(b)(3).
2. Notice: For installations which have to comply with European EN50385 exposure
compliance requirements, the following Power Density limits/guidelines (mW/cm²)
according to ICNIRP are valid:
o0.2 for frequencies from 10 MHz to 400 MHz
oF (MHz) / 2000 for frequencies from 400 MHz to 2 GHz
o1 for frequencies from 2 GHz to 300 GHz
3. Notice: Installation of this equipment is in full responsibility of the installer, who has
also the responsibility, that cables and couplers are calculated into the maximum
gain of the antennas, so that this value, which is filed in the FCC Grant and can be
requested from the FCC data base, is not exceeded. The industrial boosters are
shipped only as a naked booster without any installation devices or antennas as it
needs for professional installation.
4. Notice: Installation environment: Although this unit is fully designed for proper
operation in a location not protected from the weather, the intended installation
location is a dry room with an ambient temperature of about 25°C (77°F).

International Fire Code) must be observed.
8. Note: For a Class A digital device or peripheral:
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 his
own expense.
9. Note: Class B broadband operations that include the ESMR frequency bands 817-
824 MHz and 862-869 MHz are permitted only when installed indoors due to section
90.219(d)(7) of the FCC rules which says: “Except for distributed antenna systems
(DAS) installed in buildings, the passband of a [Part 90] Class B booster should not
encompass both commercial services (such as ESMR and Cellular Radiotelephone)
and part 90 Land Mobile and Public Safety Services.”
10.Note: Follow the Good Engineering Practices and be a Good RF Neighbor:
Good engineering practice must be used in regard to the signal booster’s noise
radiation. Accordingly, the gain of the signal booster should be set so that the ERP
of the output noise from the signal booster should not exceed the level of -43 dBm
in 10 kHz measurement bandwidth. In the event that the noise level measured
exceeds that value, the signal booster gain should be decreased accordingly. Also,
please note that in general, the ERP of noise on a spectrum more than 1 MHz outside
of the pass band should not exceed -70 dBm in a 10 kHz measurement bandwidth.

MF0123A1F_FCC_uc Manual for PSR 700/800 MHz
2.Introduction
2.1.Purpose
This manual contains information and procedures for the operation of the CommScope
Public Safety Repeaters PSR 700/800 MHz 0.5/2W Class A and Class B. The purpose
of this document is to provide a step-by-step procedure to help experienced technicians
or engineers install and commission an in-building wireless enhancement system using
CommScope repeaters. Follow the instructions in this guide tominimize risks associated
with modifying a live system and preclude service interruptions. This document assumes
the technician or engineer understands the basic principles and functionality involved
with repeater and in-building systems. This guide has been written to address the
practical concerns of the installer.
2.2.PSR 700/800 MHz 0.5/2W
This pick-up repeater comes in two variants, one is a digital, channelized Class A
repeater and the second is an analogue Class B repeater. Both can be used stand-
alone or in combination with an ERA®system.
They are designed to cover the 700 and 800 MHz public safety bands and can be used
to establish a wireless connection between a BTS and a passive or active DAS. Via
feature keys, this repeater can be configured as a single- or dual-band version with an
output power of 0.5 W or 2 W per band. With its battery backup support (only available
in combination with a BBU/UPS), UL Type 4X housing, dry alarm contacts and its
integrated oscillation detection and healing mechanism, a fully NFPA 1221 and IFC
compliance can be guaranteed.
The implemented channel-based muting functionality prevents desensitization of the BTS
by switching off UL channels without traffic. The class A variant supports up to 32
channels in a range between 12.5 kHz and 75 kHz, where every channel can be muted
while no traffic is active. A detailed filter description can be found in table 8-1 and table
8-2. With the class B variant, the operator can choose between 3, 10 and 18 MHz pass
band bandwidths, where every pass band can be muted while no traffic is active.

respective antennas or to a dummy load.
•Notice: Only qualified personnel should carry out the electrical, mechanical,
commissioning, and maintenance activities that require the unit to be open.
•Ensure that all connections have been performed according to chapter 4.2.3
Connections.
•To safeguard correct operation, a device that guarantees uninterruptible power
supply (e.g. an appropriate BBU/UPS) has to be connected to the PSR (see
chapter 4.2.10).
Unless otherwise agreed to in writing by CommScope, CommScope’s general limited
product warranty (http://www.commscope.com/Resources/Warranties/) shall be the
warranty governing the PSRs, including the installation, maintenance, usage and
operation of the PSRs.

4.1.2. Property Damage Warnings for Mechanical Installation
1. Attention: Do not install the unit in a way or at a place where the specifications
outlined in the Environmental and Safety Specifications leaflet of the supplier are
not met. Otherwise, the lifespan and performance of the repeater may be reduced.
2. Attention: Due to power dissipation, the unit may reach a very high temperature.
Ensure sufficient airflow for ventilation.
3. Attention: The repeater must be installed in a vertical position.
4. Notice: Exceeding the specified load limits may cause the loss of warranty.
5. Notice: Do not place cables or tools that may damage the repeater in close
proximity to it.
6. Notice: Do not wear jewelry or metal accessories when installing this repeater.
7. Notice: When connecting and mounting the cables (RF, optical, mains, ...) ensure
that no water can penetrate into the unit through these cables.
8. Notice: Check all cables for shorts and opens. Verify that there are no cables with
loose or poor connections. RF leakage could cause oscillation to occur under
some conditions.
9. Notice: If any different or additional mounting material is used, ensure that the
mounting remains as safe as the mounting designed by the manufacturer. The
specifications for stationary use of the Unit must not be exceeded. Ensure that the
static and dynamic strengths are adequate for the environmental conditions of the
site. The mounting itself must not vibrate, swing or move in any way that might
cause damage to the Unit.

Fastening the bolts (one per side)
table 4-2 Accessories for wall mounting
Notice: For the four M6*50mm tapping screws, you will also need four appropriate
screw anchors (one for each screw) that are not part of the delivery as the anchor type
is dependent on the on-site conditions (wall structure and materials). Use screw anchors
that are rated for the mounting surface.
The PSR is installed in the wall mounting bracket for delivery and must be removed for
the mounting procedure. The easiest way to do this, is to place the assembly on the
floor or a low table with the PSR cover facing downwards and the mounting bracket on
top as shown below. When you do so, make sure to provide a smooth surface (e.g. by
laying a soft cloth underneath) so that the cover is not scratched or damaged in the
process. Then, use an M6 Phillips (cross recess) screwdriver to loosen the six screws
(3 per side) by which the PSR is fastened to the bracket. Make sure to keep these
screws as they will be required again:
Then, take the bracket off but take care not to damage the threads of the bolts at the
PSR (one at each side), which serve to hang the unit on the bracket later.
Also take care not to lose the two clips around the
bolts (one at each side) which serve to ease
positioning of the unit when inserting it back into the
bracket. If a clip falls off, keep it for later use.
When the unit has been removed, the bracket can be installed on the wall as explained
in the following.
⚫Use the bracket as a template to mark the positions of the four drill holes at the
mounting surface / wall:

⚫At the four positions marked with the bracket as the template, drill four holes into
the wall using a drill bit that matches the thickness of the M6 wall anchors (not part
of the delivery; see Notice under table 4-2). Then, insert each of the four wall
anchors into the holes:
⚫Gently tap the wall anchors with a hammer to fully insert them into the wall.
⚫While holding the bracket in place, insert the four M6 x 40 mm tapping screws into
the wall anchors and tighten them to fasten the bracket to the wall.
⚫Confirm that the bracket is securely fastened before moving to the next step.
When the bracket is securely fastened to the wall, insert the PSR into the bracket by
positioning the two bolts (one at each side) in the corresponding grooves of the bracket.
Also, reinstall the positioning clips in case they fell off before:
