Operating Manual

Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
The VXR-9000 repeater is provided with a 25-pin DB-25F female connector for interconnections to
accessories.Use a DB-25M 25-pin male connector to connect accessories to the repeater. The pins on
the accessory
connector are explained in detail as follows:
Pin 1: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
Pin 2: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
Pin 3: +13.6 V [Power Supply]
This pin provides 13.6 Volts, 1.0 A, regulated DC
from the repeater supply. Use a 1 A fuse in the external
device’s DC line to prevent damage to the repeater.
Pin 4,6,8,10,12,16,19,25: Programmable I/O_0~7
this repeater has eight port programmable input/output feature (PIO) for various control (or being
controlled). Each port can be programmed their function, input or output, and its logic (output only).
Pin 5: TX AF IN [Analog Transmitter Input]
(
Voice Band: 300 ~ 3,000 Hz
)
Approximately 0.254 Vrms audio input on this pin
will produce full system deviation at 1 kHz (±5 kHz
deviation with 25 kHz channel spacing, ±2.5 kHz
deviation with 12.5 kHz channel spacing). Input impedance
is 600 .. This audio is injected before the
splatter filter stage, so excess signal input levels are
clipped.
Use shielded cable to connect to this pin, and connect
the shield to GND.
Pin 7: TONE IN [Transmitter Input]
(
Sub-audible Band: 6 ~ 250 Hz
)
Applying a 0.1 Vrms sub-audible tone produces 10%
of full system deviation. The input impedance is 600
W, and has a flat response characteristic (repeater
deviation is constant for a given signal level over
the frequency range of 6 ~ 250 Hz). Injecting too high
a voltage here causes over-deviation of CTCSS or
DCS, degrading performance. Use shielded cable to
connect to this pin, connecting the shield to GND.

Pin 9: TX ATT
This output is intended for controlling an external
coaxial switching relay. It is an open collector output
which can sink approx. 10 mA when active. This
signal only switches if the repeater has been programmed
Pin 11: DISC OUT [Analog Output]
(
Wide-Band: 0 ~ 3,000 Hz
)
Received signals with full system deviation produce
1 Vp-p audio at this pin. The output impedance is
600 ., and is extracted before the de-emphasis and
squelch circuitry. Use shielded cable to connect to
this pin, and connect the shield to GND.
Pin 13: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
Pin 14: GND
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
Pin 15: RSSI [Analog Output]
A DC voltage proportional to the strength of the signal
currently being received (Receiver Signal
Strength Indicator) is provided on this pin. This low
impedance output is generated by the receiver IF
sub-system and buffered by an internal op-amp.
Typical voltages are graphed as follows:
Pin 17: COAX. SW [Logic Output (Active Low)]
This output is intended for controlling an external
coaxial switching relay. It is an open collector output
which can sink approx. 10 mA when active. This
signal only switches if the repeater has been programmed
for
“SIMPLEX”
mode. If programmed
for
“DUPLEX,”
the signal remains open (high impedance)
at all time.
Pin 18: 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 extracted
FCC ID: K66VXR-9000U
Operating Manual
7/13
Vertex Standard Co., Ltd.
after the de-emphasis and low pass filter
stages.
Pin 20: RXD HIGH
[Digital Output for DATA Communications]
(
Max.: 5 kHz
)
This pin is an output for high speed receiving data
signals (typically 9600 bps), with the data being extracted
immediately after the discriminator prior to
any de-emphasis).
Pin 21: NSQ DET
This is an open-collector, active-low output capable
of sinking about 10 mA. It indicates that the receiver
squelch is open. If the squelch control is properly
set, this indicates a carrier on the receiver channel.
Pin 22: TXD LOW
[Digital Input for DATA Communications]
(
300 ~ 3,000 Hz
)
This pin is intended to be used as a low speed digital
data signal input to the repeater (typically 1200
bps). This digital data signal is injected before transmitter
pre-emphasis and limiting stage, so excess signal
input levels are clipped.
Pin 23: EXT PTT
This input is internally pulled up to 5 VDC. When
pulled low by an external device, it keys the repeater
transmitter while the repeater is operating in the
BASE mode. Avoid voltage in excess of 5 V on this
pin, or internal damage to the microprocessor on the
repeater CNTL Unit may result.
Pin 24: TXD HIGH
[Digital Input for the DATA Communications]
(
0 ~ 5 kHz
)
This pin is intended to be used as a high speed digital
data signal input to the repeater (typically 9600
bps). This digital data signal is injected after transmitter
splatter filter stage.

・ Programmable Function Key
Six push keys are programmable function (PF) key which have orange indicator inside
each of them. Each key can be programmed two functions for long push and short push.
The PF key functions can be customized, via programming by your VERTEX
STANDARD dealer, to meet your communications/network requirements. Some
features may require the purchase and installation of optional internal accessories. The
possible PF key programming features are illustrated below, and these functions are
explained on the pages to follow.
For further details, contact your VERTEX STANDARD dealer. For future reference,
check the box next to the function that has been assigned to each PF key on your
particular radio, and keep it handy.
