1.4 Warnings and Hazards WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK Opening the PSR-78-8527 could result in electric shock and may cause severe injury. WARNING! EXPOSURE TO RF 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.
WARRANTY Opening or tampering the PSR-78-8527 will void all warranties. Lithium Battery: CAUTION. RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY INCORRECT TYPE. DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS. CR2032 BATTERY MUST BE USED AS A REPLACEMENT ON THE CONTROL BOARD WHICH IS USED FOR REAL-TIME CLOCK (RTC) BACKUP. Ethernet Instructions: This equipment is for indoor use only. All cabling should be limited to inside the building.
FCC Part 90 Class B 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 15.
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.
2. 2.1 INSTALLATION Cable Installation The bottom of the PSR-78-8527 has three conduit holes. Table 2-1 Conduit hole size and labels Silkscreen Label Location Diameter AC 100-240V LEFT 22.2mm (7/8”) Ext.

3. 3.1 OVERVIEW LED PSR-78-8527 LED indicator lights are located on the inside of the repeater towards the bottom. Below the LED indicators is a button that is used to trigger the door open alarm.
3.2 Cable Connection 3.2.1 AC Power Figure 3-2 AC On/Off Switch The AC Power on/off switch is on the left-hand of the PSU which is located inside of the repeater. Figure 3-3 Figure 3-4 AC Connector AC Terminal of the PSU The AC terminal is at the left-hand side of the PSU. The repeater has a free-voltage range input of 100-240V AC.
Figure 3-5 AC Cutout Hole (0.87 in) 3.2.2 External Alarm Figure 3-6 External Alarm Cutout Hole (0.87 in) External Alarm port should be connected only to the fire alarm control panel. The default length of the cable that is provided to connect to an FACP is 6m (19.5ft). The EXT alarm wiring cannot exceed 30m (98.5ft).

3.2.4 Battery Backup Port This port connects to the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 (24V battery backup unit) via a dedicated cable provided by the ADRF. Figure 3-8 Battery Backup Cut-out hole (0.87 in) When the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 is connected to the repeater, the battery switch on the PSU must be switched to the ON position. This will enable the repeater to charge the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 battery backup unit when AC power is present.
3.2.5 Grounding The grounding terminal is located at the lower right-hand side of the BDA. A grounding cable should be properly connected before powering on the equipment. Figure 3-10 Ground Cable Terminal Ground terminals located on the side of the repeater and can support a ground cable up to 1.25mm² (16AWG) in diameter and should be permanently connected to a grounding bar.

4. ALARMS 4.
4.2 External Alarms The PSR-78-8527 supports dry contact alarms and can be connected to a fire alarm control panel (FACP). The user can program the repeater to either create an open or closed circuit when an alarm is present in the system. The repeater must be installed within 30m (98.4ft) from the FACP. 4.2.
5. 5.1 REPEATER INSTALLATION Installation Procedures 5.1.
5.2 Antenna Separation/Isolation The separation between the donor and server 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.
DO NOT APPLY AC POWER TO THE BDA UNTIL CABLES ARE CONNECTED TO BOTH PORTS OF THE BDA AND THE ANTENNAS. - Prior to equipment use, the device must be registered with the FCC. This can be done through the FCC’s website at https://signalboosters.fcc.gov/signal-boosters 1. To mount on a wall, use the appropriate screws and anchors to attach the BDA to the wall using the four mounting holes with the included wall mount bracket. 2.
6. MAINTENANCE GUIDE FOR PSR-78-8527 REPEATER 6.1 Periodic Inspection Checklist 1. 6.2 Repeater a. Log into the ADRF unit and check for any alarms in the system b. Address any outstanding alarms c. Check for loose connections to the repeaters/remotes and antennas. If connections are loose, make sure that all connections are tightly fastened. d. Check that cables and connectors are in good condition. e.
7.6 Return Material Authorization (RMA) No product may be returned directly to Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. without first getting approval from Advanced RF Technologies, Inc. If it is determined that the product may be defective, you will be given an RMA number and instructions on how to return the product. An unauthorized return, i.e., one for which an RMA number has not been issued will be returned to you at your expense.
