The VXR-1000 Series is designed to provide extended handheld coverage by repeating transmissions in both directions through an existing high power mobile radio.

Reliability is assured by a highly integrated surface mount circuit design and a aluminum extrusion chassis. Important channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM, and is easily programmable by dealers using a personal computer and the Vertex VPL-1 Programming Cable and CE-22 Software.

Please take a few minutes to read this manual carefully. The information presented here will allow you to derive maximum performance from your VXR-1000. After reading it, keep the manual handy for quick reference, in case questions arise later on.

We’re glad you joined the Vertex team. Call on us any time, because our business is communications. Let us help you get your message across.

The VXR-1000 has a fixed 3 minute time-out timer for base to handheld transmissions. If the mobile COR is active for more than 3 minutes it will send a error blip and cease transmission until the mobile COR is inactive.

FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

When the user leaves the vehicle, they activate their mobile radio via its front panel or a separate switch. When the mobile radio is receiving a signal, the VXR-1000 will begin transmitting on the hand-held’s receive frequency. The user is able to hear and respond to all radio traffic, including other hand-helds on the same frequency. The repeater jumpers and potentiometers are custom-configured for use with the particular mobile radio to which it will be connected. The CE-22 software is used to program the repeater for the required operating parameters.

Operating Manual Reprint

TRUNKING OPERATION

When the radio is connected to a trunking mobile you wish to access the system from your handheld radio, key the handheld briefly then release the PTT key. The radio will attempt to acquire a voice channel on the trunking system by keying the mobile for 200 mS and monitoring the “on-air detect” line from the mobile. If the VXR-1000 does not see the radio transmit at all (system is busy), it will send a low tone to the handheld to alert you that the system is busy. The radio will automatically retry every 5 seconds and send a “busy” tone to the handheld with each unsuccessful attempt, to indicate progress of the call attempt. If unsuccessful after 30 seconds, the radio will transmit an “intercept” tone to alert the handheld that the call attempt failed.

When the VXR-1000 detects that the mobile is transmitting, it will continue to monitor the “onair detect” line until the transmitter remains keyed for at least 250 mS to determine if the radio is merely handshaking or retrying. After successful acquisition of a voice channel, it will continue to hold the mobile’s PTT active for 2 seconds and transmit a “go-ahead” blip to the handheld. You may then key their handheld to speak on the voice channel. If you do not key up within the 2-second period, the radio will unkey the mobile and send the “intercept” tone, as before.

The VXR-1000 must only be installed in vehicles having a negative ground electrical system. Mount the transceiver where the Indicators, controls, and microphone are easily accessible, using the supplied mounting bracket. The VXR1000 may be installed in any position, but should not be positioned near a heating vent nor anywhere where it might interfere with driving (either visually or mechanically).

VXR-1000 Installation

Choose a mounting location with sufficient clearance for the VXR-1000, plus space for ventilation around the cooling fan and above and below the VXR-1000. Using the mounting bracket as a template for the mounting holes, use a 4.8 mm (3/16") bit to drill the mounting holes, and secure the mounting bracket with the supplied screws, washers, and nuts (see diagram).

Position the VXR-1000 in the bracket so that the holes in the side are aligned with those in the bracket, and bolt the VXR-1000 into place using the supplied short screws and flat washers.

Installations

VXR-1000 Connections

The VXR-1000 provides a convenient rear-pan- el Accessory Connector for easy connections to your transceiver. The connections to this jack are in accordance with a standard adopted by many commercial radio. However, we recommend that you verify the connections to any cable you already own by comparison to the pictorial below.

Pin 4: Mobile PTT Output

This pin controls the mobile transceiver’s TX/RX status. This pin is an open-collector, “active-low” circuit. When this pin closes to ground,

the mobile transceiver is switched into the TRANSMIT mode. Maximum current: <20 mA.

Pin 5: Vcc (13.8 V)

This pin is the DC power supply connection for the VXR-1000.

Maximum current: 2A.

Pin 6: Mobile Receive Audio

Receiver audio input to the VXR-1000 from the mobile transceiver.

Input impedance: 100 kΩ

The input level can be changed via CE-22 (range) and VR1002 (value).

CE-22 EXT MOD level “HIGH”: –18 dBm ~ –2 dBm CE-22 EXT MOD level “LOW”: –36 dBm ~ –18 dBm Frequency response (de-emphasis on/off) can be

changed via CE-22 (default: off).

Pin 7: Mobile COR Detect

Squelch control input (including the effect of a CTCSS or DCS detected tone) or audio mute line, also known as a “BUSY” line.

When this pin is at “high” level (mobile radio Squelch open), the VXR-1000 is commanded into the TRANSMIT mode.

Squelch open: 3 V, Squelch closed: 0 V. Squelch open: >3 V, Squelch closed: 0 V.

This input level can be switched between “Squelch open” and “Squelch closed” when this pin is at “high” level via CE-22.

Impedance: 1 MΩ.

The Squelch Threshold level can be changed by adjustment of VR1003.

Pin 8: Mobile Microphone Audio

Mobile microphone audio input. This is the same audio which is being sent to the mobile radio’s Mic Amp circuit (i.e. the microphone’s audio is “split” between the mobile radio and the VXR-1000)

Input impedance: 100 kΩ

The input level to the mobile transceiver can be changed via CE-22 (range) and VR1001 (value).

CE-22 EXT MIC level “HIGH”: –18 dBm ~ 0 dBm CE-22 EXT MIC level “LOW”: –44 dBm ~ –18 dBm

Pin 9: Mobile TX detect/Mobile Microphone PTT

Mobile Tx/Rx control input.

This input function can be switched between “Mobile MIC PTT” input and “Mobile Tx Detect” line input via CE-22.

This input level can be switched between “Tx” and “Rx” when this pin is at “high” level via CE-22. Input impedance: 10 kΩ.

Note:, When the VXR-1000 is used in a Trunking system, the “Mobile TX Detect” input signal must be received from the mobile transceiver when connected to the Trunking system (the VXR-1000 checks this pin’s level to confirm successful connection to the trunking system). When this pin is at “high” level (>3 V), the VXR-1000 is commanded into the TRANSMIT mode. When a successful “handshake” occurs with the Trunking system, this line goes “low” and the VXR-1000 is released into the RECEIVE mode.

5-1: VXR-1000 Deviation Setting

On the connected mobile transceiver, receive a signal from an external signal source with 1 kHz modulation frequency and deviation level of ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz for the “Narrow” mode).

This signal, when passed from the connected mobile transceiver to the VXR-1000, should produced a transmitted signal from the VXR-1000 with 1 kHz deviation at not less than ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz for the “Narrow” mode).

If the deviation level from the VXR-1000 is not correct, adjust VR1002 (inside the VXR-

1000) for an output deviation of ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz in the “Narrow” mode).

5-2: VXR-1000 Receiver Output Level Setting

When the VXR-1000 receives a signal from an external signal source (on the uplink frequency used by the portable transceiver) modulated at 1 kHz at a level of ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz in the “Narrow” mode”), the output passed to the connected mobile transceiver should produce a transmitted output signal from the mobile at a level of ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz in the “Narrow” mode”).

If the output level to the mobile does not produce correct deviation from the mobile, adjust VR1007 (inside the VXR-1000) so that the transmitted output from the mobile is modulated at a level of ±3.0 kHz (±1.5 kHz in the “Narrow” mode”).

6. Trunking System configuration

All trunking parameters depend on the configuration of the individual trunking system in which the connected mobile transceiver is used. Please consult the CE22 programming instructions, and the separate “VX1000R Trunking Interface Manual,” for information about the software and other settings for the VXR-1000 when integrated into a trunking environment.

7. Miscellaneous

In order to improve the audio muting performance of the VX-3000, a minor circuit change was adopted from Production Lot #03 (VX-3000L/U) and 04 (VX-3000V), and this change was reflected in CE-19 software version 1.16. This change affects the connection point for the Squelch (Mobile COR Detect) line, and the connection point is identified as “AF MUTE•in the various documentation for the VX-3000.

The configuration version can be identified by looking for the presence of a jumper connection at jumper pad JP1002 in the VX3000U, or JP1016 in the VX-3000L. The connections for the Mobile COR Detect line should be made as follows:

3. VXR-1000 CONFIGURATION

For operation in a VX-Trunk II environment, note the following setup tips regarding the VXR-1000 (set via the CE-22 software):

The VXR-1000's "Pri Timer" option must be set to a non-zero value by CE-22).

In CE-22, set the TRUNKING mode to OFF (for VX-Trunk II only; for other Trunking systems like LTR, this parameter must be set to ON).

Set PTT1 to HIGH.

Other parameters such as Master/Slave and Sub_Audio may be set via CE-22 per the customer's operating requirements.

4. VX-TRUNK SYSTEM OPERATING

EXAMPLE

4-1: Making a Call from the Portable

1.Press the portable's PTT key for longer than the "Sampling Time" of the VXR-1000, so as to ensure that the VXR-1000 receives the portable's signal, then press "3 *" while transmitting to connect to the VX-Trunk II system.

2.When the "3 *" is completed, immediately release the portable's PTT key, so as to return the portable to the receive mode.

3.If the VX-Trunk system receives the connection command, a double "beep" will be heard from the portable's speaker.

4.Press the portable's PTT key for longer than the "Sampling Time" of the VXR-1000, so as to ensure that the VXR-1000 receives the portable's signal, and enter the other unit's 5-digit subscriber number via the portable's DTMF pad. Now release the portable's PTT key to return the portable to the receive mode.

5.When the subscriber number is successfully received by the VX-Trunk II system, and a connection thereby initiated, the VX-Trunk II system will respond, and a double "beep" will be heard from the speaker of the portable.

4-2: Receiving a Call at the Portable

1.When the mobile connected to the VXR-1000 receives a connection request from the VXTrunk II system, it relays a "connection tone" to the portable. When this happens, press the PTT key on the portable.

2.Hold in the PTT key on the portable longer than the "Sampling Time" programmed for the VXR-1000, then press the DTMF "*" key. After pressing the "*" key, release the PTT key on the portable.

3.When the VX-Trunk II system receives the "*" response from the portable, it will respond, and a double "beep" will be heard from the speaker of the portable.

4-3: Terminating a Call from the Portable

1.Press the portable's PTT key.

2.Hold the portable's PTT key for longer than the "Sampling Time" of the VXR-1000, then press the "#" key. The call will now be terminated, and you may release the portable's PTT key.

VXR-1000 Trunking Interface Manual

5. NOTES RE TRUNKING OPERATION

5-1:

The VX-Trunk II system operates in a full duplex mode.

In this environment, while a call is in progress, the connected mobile passes the received audio through to the VXR-1000 for re-transmis- sion to the portable. In order for the portable to be able to "capture" the VXR-1000 to make a transmission back to the other party, the VXR-1000 must be set, via the CE-22 software, for a "Priority Timer" setting (Pri Timer) which is not zero. A very short time will allow quick

interruption, but the incoming message from the VXR-1000 to the portable may sound "choppy" due to the frequent interrupts.

When the portable transmits longer than the "Priority Timer" setting, the VXR-1000 will interrupt its transmission, and the VXR-1000 will instantly switch to the "receive" mode on the portable's transmitting frequency.

5-2: VXR-1000 Local Microphone

In order to facilitate the above sampling feature, it is not possible to use a "Local" mic (a DTMF microphone attached to the VXR-1000) for access to the VX-Trunk II system.

CE-22 Program Software

The Vertex CE-22 program is a software package which controls the VXR-1000's "Clone Edit" feature. This manual outlines the installation and use of the CE-22 software when used with the VXR-1000.

1. CE-22 Installation

and Operating Modes

The Vertex CE-22 program is an integrated software package designed to work with IBM PC, XT, AT, or compatible computers. In order for CE-22 to run properly, your computer must run DOS v3.0 (or a later version).

1-1: CE-22 Installation

There is no installation software included with your distribution diskette.

Use standard DOS procedures to install the software on your hard drive.

For example, let us create a directory named "Vertex" into which we shall install the CE22 software. First, make a copy of the distribution diskette, then use the archive copy for the installation from (floppy) Drive A:

c:\ mkdir vertex [ENTER] c:\ cd\vertex [ENTER]

c:\vertex copy a:*.* [ENTER]

The files on the archive floppy disk will now be copied to your hard drive into the new "vertex" directory.

1-2: Starting CE-22

Before starting the CE-22 program, connect the VPL-1 Cloning Cable between your computer's COM port and the VXR-1000's MIC jack.

Connecting the VPL-1 cable automatically initiates the "CLONE" (programming) mode, and the PWR LED will blink while the CLONE mode is active.

If your computer has more than one COM port, you may select the COM port to be used via the "Common Data" window (accessed by pressing F2 after CE-22 is started). Either COM1 or COM2 may be utilized.

To start CE-22, be sure your computer screen is displaying the DOS prompt. The procedure thereafter is: c:\ ce22 [ENTER]

The CE-22 program will now start. After five seconds in an initial Program Identification screen, the software will automatically switch to the main Channel Editing Screen.

1-3: Startup Options

Two mode options for CE-22 are available.

The standard ce22 command allows all nor- mally-required channel data entry parameters to be entered and/or edited. Additionally, the COM port line in the "Common Data" window may also be changed. However, other "Common Data" parameters cannot be changed, although they are visible in the window.

The alternative ce22 /p option allows editing of the other parameters in the "Common Data" window. While changes to these parameters are not normally required, major system changes may necessitate modification of one or more "Common Data" items. If this is the case, type ce22 /p [ENTER] instead of (only) ce22 [ENTER] when starting the program.

2. Sending/Downloading Data

from the VXR-1000

2-1: Reading Data from VXR-1000

When you start up CE-22, it is often useful to download the current channel information from the VXR-1000 for archive purposes.

To do this, press F5. The current data will be read by the computer, and the data will appear on the screen. If you wish to save this data to disk, press F4 and assign a file name into which the archive data will be saved.

2-2: Loading Data to VXR-1000

When all channel data has been successfully set up, press F6 to send the channel data to the VXR-1000.

2-3: Saving Data to Disk

Channel programming data may be saved to your computer's hard drive, or to a flop-

14

py diskette, by use of the F4 command. You will be prompted to define a file name to be used. Standard DOS file name specifications should be used (e.g. no more than eight characters in the file name).

If you wish to create a separate sub-directo- ry (so as to store files for different customers in different sub-directories, for example), press [Tab], then press [F3], to activate the [Mk Dir] (Make Directory) function. You can then type in the name you wish to use for this sub-directory, then continue with the file storage process.

2-4: Printing Hard Copy

To print a copy of the currently-displayed channel data file, press [F7] when all programming steps have been completed. This allows you to attach a copy of the programming information to the programming work order, for the convenience of the customer.

3. Programming Navigation/

Use of SPACE Key

When CE-22 is initially started with a new VXR-1000, only CHANNEL 1 will be showing.

Use the UP and DOWN keys to navigate to different channel numbers. Use the LEFT and RIGHT keys to navigate between the various columns of a particular channel programming line. Beginning in Section 4 of this manual, we will only discuss a single line of channel programming data, as each line of channel programming data is identical (except for the fact that CHANNEL 1's data cannot be hidden).

3-1: Hiding/Un-hiding Channel Data using SPACE Bar

The SPACE bar is used in many programming steps to activate or de-activate a particular function.

If the cursor is on the channel number column, however, pressing the SPACE bar will toggle between hiding of that channel number's data and re-activating that channel number's data. CHANNEL 1's data, however, cannot be hidden.

CE-22 Program Software

A channel number on which data has been hidden will display "-- --" in place of the field entries. On the VXR-1000, if you select a "hidden" channel, three indicators will blink to alert you to this fact.

If you make a change to the programming of a "hidden" channel at a later time, the channel will automatically be re-activated (removed from "hidden" status). You will need to return to the Rx Freq field in order to re-hide it.

3-2: Primary Use for SPACE Bar

In many programming steps, such as CTCSS or DCS tone/code entry, an initial press of the SPACE bar will activate the parameter (turn it on) or de-activate the parameter (turn it off). In each such step, you will be prompted in the upper-right-hand window as to additional steps to be taken to secure the final value for the parameter you are currently setting.

In programming steps where a numerical value is required, press the [Space] bar to increase the value, or [Back Space] to decrease the value.

4. Channel Frequency Programming

4-1: Rx Freq.

(Edit Receive (or Simplex) Frequency)

Use the 0 - 9 keys to enter the desired channel frequency directly, and press [ENTER]. The frequency entered will be adjusted automatically if it does not conform to the "CHANNEL STEP" parameter, and will be adjusted to the nearest "valid" step; the frequency will also appear in the Tx Freq. field (next step) automatically, to simplify entry if the current channel is to be used on Simplex. You do not need to enter all eight digits of the frequency; empty digits to the right will be set to "0" when you press [ENTER]. Pressing [.] ("period") after several digits forces those digits to be "MHz" digits. If you press [.] before entering any digits, only the "kHz" digits will be changed.

Pressing only the SPACE bar, without entering any frequency digits, toggles the data for the entire channel between "hidden" and
