This jackis also used for writing and reading channel fre-quency or other configurations via the COM Port ofthe PC on which the clone editor (CE60) is running. Programmable Function (PF) KeySix pushbuttons on the front panel are program-mable function (PF) keys, each with an orange in-dicator inside. Each key can be programmed withtwo functions, one for a “long” press and one for a“momentary” press. The PF key functions may becustomized, via programming by your VERTEXSTANDARD dealer, to meet your communicationsnetwork requirements. Note that some functionsmay require the purchase of optional internal ac-cessories. VOL KnobThis control knob adjusts the output level of the frontspeaker and external speaker jack on the back panel. TX IndicatorThis LED glows red when the repeater is transmit-ting. Numeric DisplayThis display consists of two 7-segment LEDs, indi-cating the channel number during normal operation.If an abnormal condition arises, an error code will bedisplayed:Page 2DISPLAY DESCRIPTION0101010101 - 3232323232Channel NumberPCPCPCPCPCClone ActiveULULULULULPLL UnlockHIHIHIHIHIHigh temperature in PA UnitSCSCSCSCSCScan ActiveLCLCLCLCLCFront Panel Keys are LockedE1E1E1E1E1PTT key is DisabledE2E2E2E2E2Cooling Fan is DisabledE5E5E5E5E5Low Voltage in Backup BatteryE7E7E7E7E7PA Unit AbnormalityE3E3E3E3E3, E4E4E4E4E4, E6E6E6E6E6, E9E9E9E9E9Contact your Dealer BUSY IndicatorThis LED glows green when the receiving channelis busy. SpeakerThe internal speaker is located here.  

The outputimpedance requirement is 50 Ohms. Backup Power Source TerminalsIf available, a backup 13.6 Volt power source, suchas a rechargeable battery, may be connected here.When the Battery Charge switch (located on the100W PA Unit) is set to “ON,” a “trickle” chargecurrent is present here while the repeater is operat-ing from the “Main Power Source.” Circuit Protection FuseTwo 40-Amp blade fuses, for the “Main” and“Backup” power sources, are installed here. RX Antenna JackThis BNC-type coaxial jack accepts the receiver in-put signal, for connection to the receiving antenna,or the “RX” jack on the duplexer. The input imped-ance requirement is 50 Ohms. Main Power Source ConnectorThe primary DC power source should be connectedhere. The power requirements are 13.6 V DC at 30Amps, continuous duty. External Speaker JackThis 3.5-mm, 2-pin jack provides variable audiooutput for an external speaker. The audio outputimpedance at this jack is 4 to 16 Ohms, and the levelvaries according to the setting of the front panel'sVOL knob. DSUB 25-pin Accessory ConnectorThis DB-25F connector allows the repeater to be re-mote-controlled by an external controller. Analog I/O signals, such as TX Audio In, Discriminator Out-put, RSSI, etc. are available. Moreover, the VXR-9000x-H provides eight ports that can be pro-grammed for various input or output signals, or forcontrol functions. Each port may be programmedas to its function, its status (input or output), and itslogic (for output ports only).Page 3
VXR-9000V-H / VXR-9000U-H FM REPEATER OPERATING MANUALAntenna ConsiderationsRepeater operation requires two antennas, one for re-ceiving and one for transmitting, so that the receivingantenna does not absorb energy from the transmittingantenna. There are a number of ways to do this, depend-ing on the TX/RX frequency separation, and on the lo-cations available for antenna mounting.Regardless of the above choice, it is of paramount im-portance that the antenna(s) be mounted as high and inthe clear as possible, preferably within line-of-sight toall repeater users. Furthermore, losses in the feedline(s)must be minimized, so the feedline(s) should be highquality, and as short as possible. If a long feedline isnecessary, use coaxial “hardline” cable to reduce losses.Repeater antennas should have an impedance of 50 at the operating frequency. When separate receive andtransmit antennas are used, high-Q narrow-band typesmay serve to minimize interaction.NEVER TRANSMIT WITHOUT HAVING ATRANSMIT ANTENNA CONNECTED TO THETX ANTENNA JACK OF THE REPEATER.Equipment LocationThe VXR-9000x-H must be installed in a 19-inch Mount-ing Rack, which will allow for free air flow around theheat sink of the 100 W PA Unit at all times. In warmclimates, the repeater should not be sealed in a small,closed room without air conditioning.While the operating temperature range of the VXR-9000x-H is quite broad, the best location is one in whichthe air temperature does not approach the extremes ofthe specified range, and one that does not change rap-idly.Protect the VXR-9000x-H (Mounting Rack) from windand rain, and extremes in temperature or humidity thatmay shorten the useful life of the equipment. Try to lo-cate the VXR-9000x-H (Mounting Rack) in an environ-ment that is also comfortable for service personnel, ifpossible.INSTALLATIONPage 4
VXR-9000V-H / VXR-9000U-H FM REPEATER OPERATING MANUALPower SupplyOperation of the VXR-9000x-H requires a power sourcecapable of providing at least 30 Amps continuously at13.6 Volts DC. Please prepare the regulated power sup-ply which satisfies the above voltage and current speci-fications.Use the DC power cable (VXSTD P/N: T9207279) sup-plied with your repeater for making power connectionsto the power supply. Connect the RED power cable leadto the POSITIVE (+) power supply terminal, and con-nect the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–) power supply terminal.INSTALLATIONBackup Power SupplyFor uninterrupted operation during power failures, a12-volt rechargeable type battery (55-Ah or more rec-ommended) may be connected to the BACKUP termi-nal posts on the rear panel. While the repeater is oper-ating from the Main Power Source a slight chargingcurrent will maintain battery charge. In the event of anunexpected interruption of the Main Power Source, theautomatic power control circuit will automaticallyswitch the repeater to the backup battery, and opera-tion will not be interrupted.After prolonged operation from the battery, (BackupPower Source), it should be disconnected from the re-peater and recharged separately before re-connecting,as the trickle charge is not sufficient for recharging acompletely discharged battery.Never reapply the Main Power Source to the repeaterwith a discharged battery connected as backup, as theDC startup current can damage the repeater and bat-tery.Never short the “Backup Power Sorce” Terminals,when the Battery Charge switch (located on theRelay Unit) is set to “ON.”TYPICALLY SETUPPage 5 To TX Antenna To RX AntennaSupplied DC Power Code(T9207279)REDBLACKREDBLACKBackup Battery(12 V, 55 Ah)Power Supply(13.6 V, 40 ~ 50 A)
