VXR-9000V-H / VXR-9000U-H FM REPEATER OPERATING MANUAL

INTRODUCTION

The VXR-9000x-H is commercial-grade 100-watt FM repeater designed to provide reliable two-way full-duplex com-

munications over a wide range of environmental conditions.

Designed to mount in a standard 19-inch rack, the VXR-9000x-H is crafted using the latest computer-aided design

and manufacturing processes, to ensure a high level of reliability to users. Important channel frequency data is stored
in EEPROM, and is easily programmable by a Servicing Technician or Dealer using an IBM compatible personal

computer and the VPL-1 Programming Cable and CE60 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-9000x-H. After reading it, keep this manual handy for quick reference, in

case questions arise later on.

Important Note: Internal service work, programming, and accessory installations should only be performed by your
authorized Vertex Standard Dealer. Dangerous conditions and/or possibly illegal operation may result from im­proper setup, programming, or internal modifications.

separation distance of at least 1.98 m (VXR-9000V-H) or 1.62 m (VXR-9000U-H) from all persons during

normal operation and must not exceed an antenna gain of 0 dBd. This device must be restricted to work
related operations in an Occupational/Controlled RF exposure Environment, not exceeding a maximum trans­mitting duty factor of 50%. The antenna(s) used with this device must satisfy the antenna co-location require­ments of 47 C.F.R. 1.1307(b)(3).

NOTICE!

 Do not modify this repeater for any reason.

Refer service of this repeater to qualified technicians only.

 When the repeater become abnormal, such as the overheating, smoke smell of burning, etc., turn the main

power switch off and disconnect the Main Power Source connector from the rear of the VXR-9000x-H
immediately. Also disconnect any backup power source you may have connected to the rear of the VXR-
9000x-H.

 Do not place any combustible material near the repeater.
 Do not spray any liquid over the repeater.
 Ensure that the power and antenna connections are securely made, using cables with excess capacity for

the power being utilized.

TX Antenna Jack



This N-type coaxial jack provides the transmitter
output signal, for connection to the transmitting an­tenna, or the “TX” jack on the duplexer. The output
impedance requirement is 50 Ohms.

Backup Power Source Terminals



If available, a backup 13.6 Volt power source, such
as a rechargeable battery, may be connected here.
When the Battery Charge switch (located on the
100W PA Unit) is set to “ON,” a “trickle” charge
current is present here while the repeater is operat­ing from the “Main Power Source.”

Circuit Protection Fuse



Two 40-Amp blade fuses, for the “Main” and
“Backup” power sources, are installed here.

RX Antenna Jack



This BNC-type coaxial jack accepts the receiver in­put signal, for connection to the receiving antenna,
or the “RX” jack on the duplexer. The input imped­ance requirement is 50 Ohms.

Main Power Source Connector



The primary DC power source should be connected
here. The power requirements are 13.6 V DC at 30
Amps, continuous duty.

External Speaker Jack



This 3.5-mm, 2-pin jack provides variable audio
output for an external speaker. The audio output
impedance at this jack is 4 to 16 Ohms, and the level
varies according to the setting of the front panel's

VOL knob.

DSUB 25-pin Accessory Connector



This DB-25F connector allows the repeater to be re­mote-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 for
control functions. Each port may be programmed
as to its function, its status (input or output), and its
logic (for output ports only).

INSTALLATION

Antenna Considerations

Repeater operation requires two antennas, one for re­ceiving and one for transmitting, so that the receiving
antenna does not absorb energy from the transmitting
antenna. There are a number of ways to do this, depend­ing on the TX/RX frequency separation, and on the lo­cations available for antenna mounting.

Regardless of the above choice, it is of paramount im­portance 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
necessary, use coaxial “hardline” cable to reduce losses.

Repeater antennas should have an impedance of 50 
at the operating frequency. When separate receive and
transmit antennas are used, high-Q narrow-band types
may serve to minimize interaction.

NEVER TRANSMIT WITHOUT HAVING A
TRANSMIT ANTENNA CONNECTED TO THE
TX ANTENNA JACK OF THE REPEATER.

Equipment Location

The VXR-9000x-H must be installed in a 19-inch Mount-

ing Rack, which will allow for free air flow around the
heat sink of the 100 W PA Unit at all times. In warm
climates, 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 which

the air temperature does not approach the extremes of
the specified range, and one that does not change rap­idly.

Protect the VXR-9000x-H (Mounting Rack) from wind

and rain, and extremes in temperature or humidity that
may 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, if
possible.

INSTALLATION

Power Supply

Operation of the VXR-9000x-H requires a power source

capable of providing at least 30 Amps continuously at

13.6 Volts DC. Please prepare the regulated power sup­ply which satisfies the above voltage and current speci­fications.

Use the DC power cable (VXSTD P/N: T9207279) sup­plied with your repeater for making power connections
to the power supply. Connect the RED power cable lead
to the POSITIVE (+) power supply terminal, and con­nect the BLACK power cable lead to the NEGATIVE (–
) power supply terminal.

Backup Power Supply

For uninterrupted operation during power failures, a
12-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 oper­ating from the Main Power Source a slight charging
current will maintain battery charge. In the event of an
unexpected interruption of the Main Power Source, the
automatic power control circuit will automatically
switch the repeater to the backup battery, and opera­tion will not be interrupted.

After prolonged operation from the battery, (Backup
Power Source), it should be disconnected from the re­peater and recharged separately before re-connecting,
as the trickle charge is not sufficient for recharging a
completely discharged battery.

Never reapply the Main Power Source to the repeater
with a discharged battery connected as backup, as the
DC startup current can damage the repeater and bat­tery.

Never short the “Backup Power Sorce” Terminals,
when the Battery Charge switch (located on the
Relay Unit) is set to “ON.”
