VX-820E

SERIES

Today's demanding public safety communications environment demands reliability, ruggedness, and versatility like never before. The VX-820E series of Vertex Standard portables answers the call with a wide array of signaling capability, along with big audio, operator and system security measures, and PC programmability for quick deployment.

And these portables are submersible to IP57 specifications, your assurance of longterm reliability under the most difficult operating circumstances.

VERSATILITY

VX-829E / 824E with LCD: Maximum 512 Channels / 32 Groups

VX-821E w/o LCD:Maximum 16 Channels / 1 Group

The LCD-equipped version provides massive channel storage capability: up to 512 channels may be programmed into as many as

32 groups. A single radio may therefore be programmed with channel sets for a number of different jurisdictions or organizations, ensuring seamless interoperability. The VX-820E Series without the LCD can accommodate up to 16 channels in a single memory group.

CTCSS / DCS Encode / Decode

High-performance Encoder/Decoder circuits for both CTCSS and

Digital Code Squelch are provided, for access to tone/code controlled systems. DCS is ideal for crowded RF environments, providing superior immunity from false opening of the squelch.

DTMF ANI/DTMF Paging (optional FVP-25 required for DTMF Paging)

Fleet and network operation are enhanced by the built-in DTMF ANI circuit.

2-Tone Encode and Multiple 2-Tone Decode

The VX-820E Series can transmit a 2-Tone paging call, and can receive

2-Tone calls using different tone combinations.

User Selectable Tone

One of the front panel's "programmable" keys may be designated so as to allow the user to select a CTCSS or DCS tone from a pre-defined

Tone Table.

Scan: Channel Scan, Priority Scan, Dual Watch,

Follow-me Scan, Follow-me Dual Watch, and TA Scan

The VX-820E Series provides unmatched flexibility in its scanning features. Designed to optimize operation in a wide variety of system environments, these scanning capabilities ensure that you never miss an important call!

Compander

(Wide and Narrow Band)

For operation in systems requiring Companding, the VX-820E Series portables include both Wide- and Narrow-band Companding circuitry, programmable channel by channel.

ACTUAL SIZE VX-829E VX-824E VX-821E

Lone Worker

The Lone Worker feature is designed to emit an alarm for 30 seconds when the Lone Worker Timer (programmed by the dealer) has expired. If the user does not reset the timer by pressing the

PTT switch, the radio switches to the Emergency mode.

RX/TX Battery Saver

When engaged, the Receive-mode Battery Saver rapidly pulses the portable on and off, reducing current consumption and extending battery life. If a call is received, the Battery Saver is disengaged, and normal operation resumes. On transmit, the Battery Saver will reduce transmitter power, thus extending operating time, when you are within close range of a strong repeater or dispatch center.

Programmable Function Keys

Customization of feature access is easily accomplished at the time of programming, thanks to the "programmable" keys that may be assigned functions needed most in your operating environment.

PC Programmable

All channel and other configuration data may be uploaded to the portable by the dealer in a matter of minutes, allowing efficient setup of a fleet of radios when rapid deployment is required.

Large LCD

(Dot Matrix / 12 Characters +7 Segments / 3 Characters) (VX-829E/824E)

The large, easy-to-read display includes a 12-character dot matrix that provides a wealth of information about the operating channel, as well as various status icons. Illuminated using

Vertex Standard's renowned

Omni-Glow ™ back-lighting, the VX-829E/824E's LCD is clearly visible at night, with minimal degradation of your

ANI Encoding and Decoding (MDC-1200

®

, GE-Star

®

, and DTMF

(Encode): optional VME-100 or VMDE-200 required)

Automatic Number Identification, triggered by the pressing of the PTT key, is available in the most popular industry-standard formats, via the optional VME-100 (for Encoding only) or VMDE-

200 (for Encoding and Decoding) module.

HIGH PERFORMANCE

Power Output: 5 W

The VX-820E Series provides up to five solid Watts of transmitter power, for extended communications range. For more localized applications, the power output may be reduced to 2.5 Watts, 1 Watt, or 1/4 Watt, for enhanced battery life.

Wide / Narrow (12.5 / 20 / 25 kHz programmable per channel)

When programming radios for use in different jurisdictions, the

VX-820E Series portables may be set up, channel by channel, for use in 12.5 kHz, 20 kHz, or 25 kHz channel spacing environments.

Deviation and bandwidth are automatically set according to the configuration you choose.

Built-in 5-Tone signaling

For advanced network or fleet operations, a 5-Tone Encoder-

Decoder circuit is included in the VX-820E Series. An expensive option on many competing brands, this included feature enhances operation without impacting your budget.

Loud 700 mW Audio Output

Ideal for reception in noisy environments, high-powered audio of the VX-820E Series is coupled to a large internal speaker, assuring solid copy throughout difficult crowd control, fire, or sporting-event operations.

Speed Dial (16-key version only)

An easy-to-use DTMF Speed Dialer feature is included in the

VX-829E, for specialized selective calling, telephone interconnect, or other applications.

Voice Storage (Optional DVS-5 required)

The optional DVS-5 Digital Voice Storage Unit allows you to store and play back up to 120 seconds of incoming received audio, so you can archive an important incoming message.

SECURITY

BCLO / BTLO and TOT

To prevent interference to other users on busy channels, the

Busy Channel Lock-Out (BCLO) and Busy Tone Lock-Out

(BTLO) features prevent transmission by the portable if the channel is occupied. And the Time-Out Timer (TOT) feature will automatically cut of transmission if the programmed maximum transmit time is exceeded.

Remote Radio Stun / Kill / Revive (5-Tone)

To prevent use of the portable by an unauthorized operator (in case of theft, non-payment of subscription, etc.), a dispatch center can send a 5-Tone command to "Stun" (temporary disabling) or "Kill" (permanent disabling) a unit. If the "Stun" command has been sent, another 5-Tone "Revive" command may also be sent, re-enabling operation of the portable.

Encryption (Optional FVP-35/36 or FVP-25 required)

The FVP-35 and FVP-36 Encryption Units provide security for your important public safety and security communications. A

DTMF Paging function is also included in the FVP-25 module, for selective calling.

DURABLE CONSTRUCTION

Rugged, Submersible Design

The VX-820E Series portables are housed in an ultra-rugged, impact-resistant case that is designed to exceed U.S.

MIL-STD 810C/D/E/F standards for shock, vibration, and driving rain; it also meets international waterproofing standard IP55 (water jets) and IP57 (submersion in water to a depth of 1 meter for up to 30 minutes).

EASY USER INTERFACE

7-Color LED for Incoming Call Alert

The front panel of the VX-820E Series includes an ultra-bright LED that can display up to seven different colors, with a variable flash pattern, to alert the operator when a 2-Tone or 5-Tone call has come in, and during Emergency mode operation.

Programmable Home Channel Function

The user may select, out of the dealer-programmed channel list, one channel to be the "Home" channel, which may be assigned to a "programmable" key for one-touch access to a critically-important channel.

Direct Channel Recall (#1 - #4)

Any or all of the programmable keys may be assigned as directaccess one-touch keys for selecting important operating channels.

ARTS ™

(Auto-Range Transpond System)

The ARTS ™ feature is a "handshake" system that uses DCS coding to confirm that two ARTS ™ -equipped units are within communication range. If an "out of range" condition develops, an alarm will sound and the communications center can instruct the field unit to move to a better location (or assistance to the field unit can be dispatched).

Submersible External Speaker/Microphone MH-66 Series (optional)

When operating in an emergency situation where immersion of the radio and/or its accessories could occur, the optional MH-66

Series Speaker/Microphone is rated to the same submersibility specifications as the portable itself (IP57), ensuring that your essential communications won't be interrupted if the microphone gets dropped into the water.
