    (WARNING: The circuit breaker switch on the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 must be set to OFF before connecting it to the PSR-VU-9537-UBto prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBS/BBL-24 and personal injury.) Note: Please contact ADRF Technical Support for assistance if you are unfamiliar with the installation procedure of the battery box.

  • Page 28: Antenna Separation/Isolation

    Figure 5-3 PSR-ANN Wall Mount 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.
  • Page 29: Figure 5-4 Rf Repeater Oscillation

    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.

    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.

    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 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 off the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds.
