    Warnings and Hazards WARNING! ELECTRIC SHOCK Opening the SDRX-43-BTF 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.
  • Page 11 WARRANTY Opening or tampering the SDRX-43-BTF will void all warranties. 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.
  • Page 12 CAUTION Circuit Breaker Installation in the Box for Overcurrent Protection Must install the circuit breaker between the system and main AC source for separation. Make sure to install the circuit breaker on the place to operate easily. Circuit breaker is able to operate up to 20A. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
  • Page 13 ◈LABEL WARNING◈ Regulatory Warning Statement FCC RF Radiation Exposure Statement: This equipment complies with FCC RF radiation exposure limits set forth for an uncontrolled environment. This equipment should be installed and operated with a minimum distance of 140 cm(Uplink) and 110 cm(DownLink) between the radiator and your body. This transmitter must not be co-located or operating in conjunction with any other antenna or transmitter.
  • Page 14 RSS-GEN Warning Statement RSS-GEN (6.8 Transmit antenna) Under Industry Canada regulations, this radio transmitter may only operate using an antenna of a type and maximum (or lesser) gain approved for the transmitter by Industry Canada. To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that necessary for successful communication.

    2.3.1 AC Power Figure 2-3 AC Input Port The SDRX-43-BTF 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 SDRX-43-BTF. Advanced RF Technologies, Inc.
  • Page 18: Back Up Battery Port

    Figure 2-4 Battery Backup Port The SDRX-43-BTF 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 SDRX-43-BTF 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 SDRX-43-BTF to prevent damage to the repeater or the ADRF-BBU and personal injury.)

  • Page 21: Antenna Separation/Isolation

    50 dB, then an isolation of 70dB or greater is required. In the same manner, because the SDRX-43-BTF has a maximum gain of 95dB in case of SDRX-43-BTF, it requires isolation of at least 115dB.
  • Page 22: Line Of Sight

    Line of Sight The donor antenna which points towards the BTS typically has a narrow beam antenna pattern. As a result, a slight deviation away from the direction of the BTS can lead to less than optimum results. In addition, obstacles between the repeater and the BTS may impair the repeater from obtaining any BTS signal.

    10. APPENDIX 10.1 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 of the HPAs (high-powered amplifiers) for 30 seconds.
