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. 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. ALARM CENTER 22.2mm (7/8”) BATTERY ADRF-BBU ONLY RIGHT 22.2mm (7/8”)
3. OVERVIEW 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. Figure 3-1 LED Panel Table 3-1 LED Specifications...
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 AC Connector Figure 3-4 AC Terminal of the PSU The AC terminal is at the left-hand side of the PSU.
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). Table 3-2 External Alarm Description ADRF External Alarm Box Color Pin Description (24 pins) Alarm Type...
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.

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.
Verify that the PSR-78-8527 and mounting holes are in good condition Place the PSR-78-8527 mounting bracket template up against the wall and mark off mounting holes Drill the appropriate size holes and install the included wall anchors ...
70dB, then isolation of 85dB or greater is required. In the same manner, to utilize the maximum gain of 85dB of the PSR-78-8527, antenna isolation of at least 100dB is required. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
