2.3.1 AC Power Figure 2-3 AC Input Port The SDR-ICS-43 PSU can operate at 110V AC to 220V AC. The user should verify that the AC input voltage is the correct voltage before powering on the SDR-ICS-43. 2.3.2 Back Up Battery Port...
The SDR-ICS-43 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 SDR-ICS-43 via the external battery port. (WARNING: The circuit switch on the ADRF-BBU must be set to OFF before connecting the ADRF-BBU to the SDR- ICS-43 to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.)

Verify that the SDR-ICS-43 and mounting hole are in good condition · Place the SDR-ICS-43 mounting template up against the wall and mark of mount holes · Mount the SDR-ICS-43 to wall use the six (6) mounting hole on the wall mount bracket · Connect the GND cable ·...
For example, if the gain of the repeater is 50 dB, then an isolation of 55dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the SDR-ICS-43 has a maximum gain of 95dB in case of SDR-ICS-43, it requires isolation of at least 100dB.
WARNING: Inserting a CW signal into the SDR-ICS-43 when ICS is enabled will cause the system to generate a false alarm. The false alarm will cause the system to go into a shutdown state. If a CW signal needs to be injected into the repeater for testing purposes, the ICS routine must be turned off.
5. SDR-ICS-43 WEB-GUI SETUP The Web-GUI allows the user to communicate with the repeater either locally or remotely. To connect to the repeater locally, you will need a laptop with an Ethernet port and a RJ-45 crossover cable. To connect to the repeater remotely, you will need to have an active internet connection and the repeater must have either an internal modem or an external modem box connected to the repeater.

9. APPENDIX Shutdown Retry Logic The function of the built-in shutdown routine is to protect the repeater from any further damage from a hard- fail 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 of the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds.
