Ext. ALARM
SERVER CPL (-30dB)
The RF connections are made via two 4.3-10 female connectors. The RF connector
labeled “DL DONOR1”, “UL DONOR” and “DONOR” must be connected to the antenna
pointing towards the base station. The RF connection labeled “DL SERVER”, “UL
SERVER” and “SERVER” must be connected to the antenna facing the area to be
covered by the BDA. The RF connections must be made using cables with an
impedance of 50 ohms.
The separation between the 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.
To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an
appropriate distance to provide sufficient isolation. Isolation is attained by
separating antennas a sufficient distance so that the output of one antenna
does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent on the gain
of the repeater.

3.2.4 Annunciator
The Annunciator port provided power and communication to the PSR-ANN
annunciator box. The PSR-ANN annunciator box provides a summary status of the
repeater via LED indicator lights and an audible alarm.
The default length of the cable that is provided to connect to the PSR-
VU-9537-UBto the PSR-ANN is 2m (6.5ft). Additional cable lengths at 10ft,
20ft, and 33ft are available. The maximum distance of the cable between the
PSR-VU-9537-UBrepeater and the PSR-ANN annunciator is limited to 10m (33ft).

3.2.5 Battery Backup Terminal This port connects to the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 (24V
battery backup unit) via a dedicated cable provided by the ADRF.
Figure 3-6 Battery Backup Port (4-pin Female)
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.

Procedure
Verify that the PSR-VU-9537-UBand mounting holes are in good condition Place
the PSR-VU-9537-UBmounting bracket template up against the wall and mark off
mounting holes Drill the appropriate size holes and install the included wall
anchors Remove the wall mount bracket from the repeater and bolt the wall
mount bracket to the wall Place the repeater onto the wall mount bracket and
secure the bracket to the repeater Connect the GND cable Connect the Antenna
cables Connect the Power cable
Wall Mount Bracket
Figure 5-1 Wall Mount
5.1.2 PSR-ANN Annunciator Installation The PSR-ANN annunciator box has been
designed to either mount on top of the PSR-VU-9537-UBrepeater or
can also be wall-mounted separately. By default, the mounting bracket is
configured to mount to the top of the repeater with the mounting bracket at
the bottom of the PSR-ANN annunciator box. If individually wall mounting the
PSR-ANN, then the bracket will need to move from the bottom of the box to the
back of the box.
Once the PSR-ANN annunciator box has been securely mounted, connect the
included power/data cable from the side of the PSR-ANN box to the port labeled
Annunciator on the PSR-VU-9537-UA.

Figure 5-3 PSR-ANN Wall Mount
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.
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
28
PSR-VU-9537-U
Figure 5-4 RF Repeater Oscillation
To prevent feedback, the donor and server antennas must be separated by an
appropriate distance to provide sufficient isolation. Isolation can be
attained by separating antennas at a sufficient distance so that the output of
one antenna does not reach the input of the other. This distance is dependent
on the gain of the repeater.
Recommended isolation value is 15dB greater than the user-set gain of the
repeater. For example, if the userset gain of the repeater is 50dB, then
isolation of 65dB or greater is required. In the same manner, to utilize the
maximum gain of 95dB of the PSR-VU-9537-UA, isolation of at least 110dB is
required.
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
29
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. Ensure that the isolation between the donor antenna and the serving
antennas is at least 15 dB greater than the BDA gain.
3. Connect the cable from the donor antenna to the BDA connector labeled
“DONOR” and the cable from the serving antennas to the BDA connector labeled
“SERVER”.
4. Wire the AC power source to the AC terminal block inside of the wiring
compartment of the BDA and secure the line using the appropriate conduit and
conduit hub connectors.
5. Power on the repeater by flipping the AC switch to the ON position located
on the left side of the PSU.
6. Installation of the BDA is now complete. Adjust the gain controls to suit
the specific signal environment through the GUI on your PC.
6. ADRF-BBL/BBS-U INSTALLATION 6.1 Installation Procedures
The ADRF-BBL/BBS-U battery backup unit houses two 12V batteries that are
connected in series to have a nominal voltage of 24VDC. The battery charger is
built into the PSU located inside of the PSR-VU-9537-UA. When the system is
being powered by AC, the PSU will charge the ADRF-BBL/BBS-U battery backup.
When there is a loss of primary power (AC), then repeater will switch over to
the secondary power (DC) provided by the battery backup. Once the primary
power is restored, the PSR-VU-9537-UBwill switch back to operating with AC
power and will resume charging the battery backup.
1. Verify that the repeater has been properly grounded.
Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.

2. Loosen each wheel lock by spinning the red dial to the left.
3. Move the ADRF-BBL-U-24 to the desired location and spin the red dial to
the right to tighten wheel locks. 4. The brackets on the back of the ADRF-
BBL/BBS-U unit can be used to secure to the wall ONLY when it is
stationed on the floor. Due to the total weight of the ADRF-BBL/BBS-U w/
batteries, it CANNOT be wall mounted off the ground. The brackets are not
designed to support the full weight of the ADRF-BBL/BBS-U when it is wall
mounted without any additional support. If a wall mounting solution is needed,
then an optional wall mount kit (ADRF-BBL/BBS-X-WMK) is available for
purchase.
5. Use the included key to unlock the door latches to open the ADRF-BBL-U-24.
6. On the ADRF-BBL-U, set the power switch to the OFF position.

12. APPENDIX 12.1 Shutdown Retry Logic
The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from
any further damage from a hardfail that the system may be experiencing.
Within 5 seconds of a hard-fail alarm being detected, the repeater will start
the shutdown routine. The repeater will shut down by powering off the HPAs
(high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds.
After 30 seconds have elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check
to see if the hard-fail alarm still exists. If the hard-fail alarm still
exists, then the repeater will shut down for 1 minute (double the time of the
previous shutdown time).
After 1 minute has elapsed, the repeater will power on the HPAs and check to
see if the hard-fail alarm still exists. If the hard-fail alarm still exists,
then the repeater will shut down for 2 minutes (double the time of the
previous shutdown time).
The shutdown routine will repeat itself a total of 10 times. If the hard-fail
alarm still exists after the 10th retry, then the repeater will turn off its
HPAs permanently until a reset is performed or factory set is executed.
