1. PSR78 Repeater

1.1 Introduction

The PSR78 is an over-the-air repeater system that operates in both the 700 and 800 MHz public safety
frequencies.

1.1.1 Highlights

• Supports up to 2 frequency bands simultaneously

o Covers the entire 700 MHz Public Safety Frequencies (12 MHz)
o Covers the entire 800 MHz Public Safety Frequencies (18 MHz)

• Composite Output Power of 30 dBm

• 30 dB AGC Range @ 0.5 dB Step

• Adjustable AGC Output Power Level

• Adjustable ALC Level

• Band Selectable via Web-GUI

• Can Support up to 6 total Non-Contiguous Bands

• External Alarming capabilities via dry contact AAI alarms

• Digital filtering

• Incremental Automatic Shutdown/Resumption Time: PSR78 gradually increases the time span between

automatic shutdown and resumption before it permanently shuts itself down

• Versatility and Usability: PSR78 gives total control to the user. Most of the control parameters, e.g., gain,

output power, alarm threshold, etc. can be changed using the Web-GUI so that the user can adjust the
system perfectly to the given RF environment

• Web-GUI connectivity via DHCP

• Supports DHCP; No 3

• Automated installation

2. Warnings and Hazards

WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK

Opening the PSR78 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.

WARNING! DAMAGE TO REPEATER

Operating the Axiom with antennas in very close proximity facing each other could lead to severe
damage to the repeater.

RF EXPOSURE & ANTENNA PLACEMENT Guidelines

Actual separation distance is determined upon gain of antenna used.

Please maintain a minimum safe distance of at least 50 cm while operating near the donor and the server antennas. Also, the donor
antenna needs to be mounted outdoors on a permanent structure.

CAUTION

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

Lithium Battery: CAUTION. RISK OF EXPLOSION IF BATTERY IS REPLACED BY INCORRECT TYPE.
DISPOSE OF USED BATTERIES ACCORDING TO INSTRUCTIONS.

Ethernet Instructions: This equipment is for indoor use only. All cabling should be limited to inside the
building.

Opening or tampering the Axiom will void all warranties.

3.2 Switches and Ports

3.2.1 AC In Port

The AC In Port is designed to work with the power cable that is included with the system.

Figure 2: AC In Port

3.2.2 Battery Port

The PSR78 can be connected to an ADRF-BBU (ADRF Battery Backup) to provide power during a power failure.
If an ADRF-BBU is utilized, connect the ADRF-BBU to the PSR78 via the external battery port as shown in Figure

4.

Figure 3: Battery Backup Port

(WARNING: The circuit switch on the ADRF-BBU must be set to OFF before connecting the ADRF-BBU
to the PSR78 to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.)

Note: Please contact ADRF Technical Support for assistance if you are unfamiliar with the installation
procedure of our battery box.

3.2.3 Power Switch

The power switch is located on the inside of the repeater. Open the 2 latches on the side of the repeater to
open the top cover. Once opened, the power switch is located on the bottom left of the power supply.
