Pin 21; A-OUTPUT [Logic Output] (Active Law) This open collector logic output is pulled low when the front panel's ACCESSORY key is turned on. It can sink approx. 10 mA when active. Pin 22: RXD LOW [Digital Output for DATA Communications] (300 ~ 3,000 Hz) This pin is an output for low speed receiving data signals (typically 1200 bps), with the data being ex- tracted after the de-emphasis and low pass filter stages. Pin 3: RXD HI [Digital Output for DATA Communications] (M1115 kHz) This pin is an output for high speed receiving data signals (typically 9600 bps), with the data being ex- h'acted immediately after the discriminator prior to any de-emphasis). Pin 24: TXD LOW [Digital Input for DATA Communications] (300 ~ 3,000 Hz) This pin is intended to be used as a low speed digi- tal data signal input to the repeater (typically 1200 bps). This digital data signal is injected before trans- mitter pre—emphasis and limiting stage, soacess sig- nal input levels are clipped. Pin 25: TXD HI [Digital Input for the DATA Communicau'ons] (0 ~ 5 kHz) This pin is intended to be used as a high speed digi- tal data signal input to the repeater (typically 9600 bps). This digital data signal is injected after trans- mitter splatter filter stage. LINE Interface Port ’ The VXR-7000 is provided with an S—pin modular jack for line interfacing applications. A Western Electric" modular-type Rl45 plug should be used to connect to this jack. The LINE jack pin-out is siiown below. Note that there are both 4-line and B—line types of modu- lar plugs, If a 4-line modular plug is used, only the LINE OUT and LINE IN connections will be made, An B-line plug is required to access all lines. In accordance with standard telecommunications interface, Hie line connec- tions on the LINE interface jack are impedance balanced, and are described as follows. Pins 1 6: 2: [RX SQ(+), RX SQ(—)] An opto—isolator is provided to facilitate E (EAR) signaling, The opto-isolator come on when a signal exceeding the receiver squelch appears on the re- ceiver channel (with correct CI'CSS tone or DCS code, if enabled), The RX SQ(—) pin is the emitter, and RX SQ(+) is the collector. Pins 3 & 4: [LINE IN (Tr Line Audio» Analog signals between 300 and 3000 Hz supplied to this pair are fed to the transmitter when the re- peater is set to the BASE mode (the REPEATER LED is turned off) and keyed either by the TX KEY input signal (see below), or by the EXT l’l'l' signal on pin <<23?>> of the rear panel’s ACC jack, Full system deviation is obtained with a line level of —10 dBm, Pins 5 5: 6: [LINE OUT (Rx Line Audio)! Receiver audio is available from this pair, subject to internal CT CSS or DCS decode if the received sig- nal strength is above the squelch threshold. As shipped from file factory, a ‘l-kHz receiver signal with full system deviation gives —10 dBm on the line, but this can be varied over the range -55 dBm to +10 dBm by VR4002 and 54001 (on the repeater‘ s CNTL Unit), Pins 7 a: s [TX KEY(+), TX KEY(—)] An opto-isolator is provided to facilitate M (MIC) signaling. That is, a voltage presented to these pins turns on the opto-isolator and keys the transmitter. The TX K'EY(+) pin is the anode of the opto-isolator, and RX SQ(—) is the cathode of the opto-isolator. LINE Jack Modular Jack PIn Numbering Installation Antenna Considerations Repeater operation without a duplexer requirs that two antennas be installed, one for r_eceiving and one for trans- mitting, so that the receiving antenna does not absorb energy from the transmitting antenna. There are a num- ber of ways to do this, depending on the TX/ RX fre- quency separation, and on the locations available for antenna mounting. if a duplexer is used, a single an- tenna suffices for both transmitting and receiving. If using a reduced‘size duplexer, a six~cavity model (mini- mum) is recommended. Yasu/ Vertex recommends the use of the 77? duplexer. For further details, contact your Yaesu/ Vertex dealer. Regardless of the above choice, it is of paramount im- portance that the antenna(s) be mounted as high and in the clear as possible, preferably within line-of-sight to all repeater users. Furthermore, losses in the feedline(s) must be minimized, so the feedline(s) should be high quality, and as short as possible. If a long feedline is nec- essary, use coaxial "hardline" cable to reduce losses. Repeater antennas should have an impedance of 50 W at the operating frequency. When separate receive and transmit antennas are used, high-Q narrowAband types may serve to minimize interaction. However, when a single antenna is used with a duplexer, it should be a low-Q wide-band type. NEVER TRANSMIT WITHOHT HAVING A TRANSIVHT ANTENNA CONNECTED TO THE TXANTENNA LACK OF THE REPEATER. AC Power Supply Voltage Selection Each repeater is wired for a particular AC mains volt- age between 100 and 234 VAC. This should be indicated by a label near the AC jack on the rear panel. If no label is present, or if the AC voltage on the label is different from the local AC line, check the wiring on the REC Unit of the repeater, and change the connections (and label) if necmsary, as shown below. Changing the AC input voltage wiring also requires changing the fuse on the FILTER Unit if the voltage is changed from 100 VAC (100-117 VAC) to 200 VAC (200— m VAC), or vice-versa. Use a ??-amp fuse for 100 VAC, or a .7?-amp fuse for the VAC. DC Power Supply Backup For uninterrupted operation during power failurs, a 12 volt rechargeable type battery (55-Ah or more rec- ommended) may be connected to the BATT terminal posts on the rear panel, While the repeater is operating from the AC source, a slight charging current will main- tain battery charge. In the event of an AC power out- age, the automatic power control circuit will automati- cally switch the repeater to the backup battery, and op- eration will not be interrupted. After prolonged operation from the battery, it should be disconnected from the repeater and recharged separately before re—connecting, as the trickle charge is not suffi— cient for recharging a completely discharged battery. Never reapply AC power to the repeater with a dis- charged but'tery connected, as the DC stormy current can damage the repeater and battery. While operating from a battery or DC supply, the re- peater requires approximately 7.7 amperes at 120 Volts during transmit Equipment Location While the operating temperature range of the repeater is quite broad, the best location is one in which the air temperature does notapproach the extrema of the speci- fied range, and one that does not change rapidly. Make sure to allow for free air flow around the heasink on the rear apron at all times. In warm climates, the repeater should not be sealed in a small closed room. Protect the repeater from wind and rain, and extremes in temperature or humidity that may shorten the useful life of the equipment. Try to locate the repeater in an environment that is also comfortable for service person- nel, if possible. Installation — Changing Power TrunsfomrerAC Mains Wiring Before attempting this wire change, remove the AC power cord from the AC jack on the rear panel. C] Remove the ten screws affixing the top cover of the repeater, and remove the cover. Remove the four screws affixing the Sun'tching Regu— lator Unit, and remove it ( the Switching Regulator Unit is mounted with the FILTER Unit). Referring to Figure 1, remove the four screws and remove the heatsink from the Switching Regulator Unit, Referring to Figure 2, perform the correct jumper wiring on the Switching Regulator Unit for the AC Mains voltage used in your area (100-117 VAC or zoom VAC). El El Replace the heatsink onto the Switching Regulator Unit, then replace the Switching Regulator Unit onto the chassis. Replace the AC fuse on the FILTER Unit according be the AC Mains voltage range: 100 VAC (100-117 VAC): 7?A 200 VAC (ZOO-B4 VAC): 77A. Replace the top cover. This completes the wiring change. Importantlr If you change the AC voltage range, you must also change the AC fuse on the FILTER Unitr Do not replace with a slow-blow type fuse. CE-27 Programming Software Instruction ID: RGGVXR- 7000V 2.1033(9) ALIGNMENT ___——— With the CE—27 Programming Software, you can quickly and easily program the Vertex VXR-7000 repeater’s channels and configuration from your personal com- puter. In the event of an accidental memory failure, re- peater memory and configuration data may be reloaded in a matter of minutes, The CPI-27 Programming Software diskette contains the following files: ' CE—Z7.EXE ' CE-Z7J-[LP Before connecting the VXR»7000 for programming, turn off both the computer and the VXR—7000. Now connect the VPL-l Connection Cable to the computer’ 5 serial port and the VXR-7000. Then it will be safe to restart the computer; turning off the equipment during interconnection avoids the poten- 7 l for damage to the electronics caused by voltage spikes. Insert the distribution diskette into your 31/2" drive (af- ter booting DOS), and make a copy of the diskette; use the distribution diskette for archive purposes, and use the disk copy for programming.

Realignment should therefore not be nec essary except in the event of a component failure. All component replacement and service should be per- formed only by an authorized Yaesu/ Vertex represen- tative, or the warranty policy may be void. The following procedures cover the sometimes critical and tedious adjustments ttmt are not normally required once the repeater has left the factory. However, if dam— age occurs and some parts subsequently are placed, re- alignment may be required. If a sudden problem occurs during normal operation, it is likely due to component failure; realignment should not be done until after the faulty component has been replaced. We recommend that servicing be performed only by authorized Yaesu / Vertex service technicians who are ex- perienced with the circuitry and fully equipped for re pair and alignment. Therefore, if a fault is suspected, contact the dealer from whom the repeater was pur- chased for instructions regarding repair. Authorized Yaesu/ Vertex service technicians realign all circuits and make complete performance checks to ensure compli- ance with factory specifications after replacing any faulty components. Those who do undertake any of the following alignments are cautioned to proceed at their own risk. Problems caused by unauthorized attempts at realignment are not covered by the warranty policy. Also, Yaesu/ Vertex re— serves the right to change circuits and alignment proce— dures in the interest of improved performance, without notifying owners. Under no circumstances should any alignment be at- tempted unless the normal function and operation of the repeater are clearly understood, the cause of the malfunction has been clearly pinpointed and any faulty components replaced, and realignment determined to be absolutely necessary The following test equipment (and thorough familiar— ity with its correct use) is necessary for complete realign— merit. Correction of problems caused by misalignment resulting from use of improper test equipment is not covered under the warranty policy, While most steps do not require all of the equipment listed, the interac— tions of some adjustments may require that more com— plex adlustments be performed afterwards. Do not attempt to perform only a single step unless it is clearly isolated electrically from all other steps. Have all test equipment ready before beginning, and follow all of the steps in a section in the order presented.

Correct alignment is not possible with an antenna, After completing one step, read the following step to determine whether the same test equipment will be re- quired. if not, remove the best equipment (except dummy load and wattmeter, in connected) before proceeding. Correct alignment requires that the ambient tempera- ture be the same as that of the repeater and test equip— ment, and that this temperature be held constant be— tween 20 “C and 30 °C (68 ”F ~ 86 °F). When the re peater is brought into the shop from hot or cold air, it should be allowed time to come to room temperature before aligrunent. Whenever possible, alignments should be made with oscillator shields and circuit boards firmly affixed in place. Also, the test equipment must be thoroughly warmed up before beginning. Note: Signal levels in dB referred to in the alignment procedure are based on MB" = 0.5uV Alignment Set up the test equipment as shown below, and apply AC power to the repeater. The repeater must be programmed for use in the in- tended syshein before alignment is attempted. The fre— quency and other parameters are loaded from the file during the alignment process. In order to facilitate alignment over the complete switch- ing range of the equipment it is recommended that the channel data first be uploaded and then stored to disk. Channels at the upper, lower and middle band edges should then be downloaded, The original data can be replaced at the end of the alignment process. Che-19,1 , Hegel“?!
