FCC Notices Part 90 Class A (B9A) FCC Part 90 Signal booster This is a 90.219 CLASS A DEVICE 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/signalboosters/registration.
IC Notices 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.
1. Introduction PSR is an innovative channelized digital repeater for public safety FirstNet and 700MHz and 800MHz wireless communication, in a small and large building for emergencies. Thanks to the accumulated digital filter technology, up to 64 narrowband filters with independent gain and output adjustment can be configured and work together, up to 32 in each of 700 and 800 bands, while minimizing adjacent channel interference.
1.2 Outlook 1.2.1 PSR The following picture shows the mechanical information of PSR.

DL700 PA RRFU DL700 RRFU DL800 FPGA DTU DL800 PA DONOR ANT SERVICE ANT RRFU UL DONOR MUX SERVICE MUX UL PA Figure 1 - 3 System RF block diagram For the downlink, received RF signal from BTS to DONOR antenna port is converted to IF signal at RRFU, and goes to FPGA for digital signal processing.
1.4 Frequency diagram Frequency bands of PSR series can be configured and operated separately for the three different bands, FirstNet, PS700 and PS800. There are 2 different class types of the device as defined in FCC Part 90, Signal Booster classifications. Each frequency band is shown below. Class A Available frequency ranges ; Not available @ FirstNet 769~775/ 799~805MHz @ PS700 851~869/ 806~824MHz @ PS800 (861-869MHz : For IC only) Available CH bandwidths ; 6.25/ 12.
2. System overview The following picture shows the mechanical 2.1 Interior PSU(DC Power Supply Unit) is located at the top of PSR, while the All-in-one integrated module is at the bottom side. All-in-one integrated module consists of RRFU+MUX+PA, carrier board, CPU and DTU. 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 Figure 2 - 1 Interior No.
2.1.1 PSU PSU can be operated in either ac-dc or dc-dc. ac-dc converting part operating from 100-220 of free ac voltage input to dc output. dc-dc converting part operating from external dc + 24V voltage input to dc output. The maximum available power consumption is around 170W. 2.1.2 RRFU RRFU consists of RF blocks that perform appropriate amplification, attenuation and frequency conversion for each of the downlink and uplink frequency bands. 2.1.

2.2.4 ETHERNET It is strongly recommended that PSR must be connected to the Internet via ETHERNET port 24/7 for maintaining the best quality of service by using WEB GUI. The GUI port can be used to communicate directly with PSR using an RJ-45 crossover cable. The waterproof cap must first be unscrewed to gain access to the GUI port. Figure 2 - 6 ETHERNET Port Ethernet M20 RJ45 1 GND 2 TX+ 3 TX4 RX+ 5 NC 6 NC 7 RX8 NC 9 NC 10 GND Table 2 - 5 Pin description/ ETHERNET 2.2.
2.2.6 BACKUP BATTERY The battery switch on the PSU must be switched ON position. This will enable the repeater to charge the battery backup unit when AC power is present. PSR can be connected to the battery to provide power during a power failure, and this port connects to the battery via dedicated cable. The circuit breaker switch on the battery must be set to OFF before connecting it to PSR to prevent damage to the repeater or the battery itself and personal injury.
2.2.7 RF port Figure 2 - 10 RF ports The RF connections are made via two 4.3-10 mini-DIN female connectors. The RF connector labeled “DONOR” must be connected to the antenna towards BTS side. The DONOR port can receive both 700 and 800MHz public safety signals. The RF connection labeled “SERVICE” must be connected to the antenna facing the area to be covered by PSR. Available RF power coupling is -30dB. 2.2.
2.3 Function features 2.3.1 ICS In order to ensure that the output power radiated from the service antenna does not flow into the donor antenna, sufficient isolation between the antennas must be ensured, otherwise the radiated signals feed through to the donor antenna side and amplified again, resulting in system oscillation and other disturbances.
2.3.3 Antenna monitoring As shown in the figure, the multiple numbers of service antennas can be used for PSR installed together with couplers or dividers. However, normal RF power may not be radiated by the service antennas when there’s a problem with service antenna itself, or due to the poor connection between antenna and RF cable, or other similar kinds of RF mismatching issues.
2.3.5 Channel filter FirstNet band can be configured by either single 10MHz LTE or 2 contiguous 5MHz LTE bands, and one of the channels can be turned off. Up to 32 non-contiguous narrow band channels can be selected for both PS700/PS800 band, and each channels can be turned on/off by WEB GUI. Both wideband and narrow band channels have been designed based on 3GPP and FCC regulation. 2.3.
3. INSTALLATION 3.1 Outdoor Installation Please inspect the outdoor environment in order to identify the best environment for the installation of the he repeater system and antennas. DO NOT physically mount any equipment at this moment. The donor antenna should be located in the area with the strongest signal reception and away from any barriers, such as hills and mountains, high buildings or signboards. You can use WEB GUI information to measure received strength signal intensity.
3.4 Mounting and Installation Locating Donor antenna Please install the donor antenna in the previously selected location. Choose a mount type for the donor antenna that suits your preferences and the environmental conditions. You may need to re-locate or rotate the donor antenna in order to find the best direction providing the strongest signal strength.
