The VXR-9000 repeater is provided with a 25-pin DB25F 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 5: TX ATT
Pin 1: GND
This output is intended for controlling an external coaxial switching relay. It is an open drain output which
can sink approx. 1.5 A when active. The delay time
which is between the repeater cause to transmit mode
and this port switches to ground can be programmed
by your VERTEX STANDARD dealer.
Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply
return.
Pin 6: DISC OUT
[POWER SUPPLY]
This pin provides 13.6 Volts, 2.0 A, DC from the repeater
supply. There is a internal 3 A fuse to prevent damage
to the repeater.
[ANALOG OUTPUT] (WIDE-BAND: 0 ~ 3,000 HZ)
Received signals with full system deviation produce
350 mVrms audio at this pin. The output impedance is
600 Ohm, 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 3: TX AF IN
Pin 7: N.C.
[ANALOG TRANSMITTER INPUT] (VOICE BAND: 300 ~ 3,000 HZ)
This pin is audio input. Input impedance is 600 Ohms.
This audio is injected before the splatter filter stage, so
excess signal input levels are clipped.
No connection.
Use shielded cable to connect to this pin, and connect
the shield to GND.
Pin 4: TONE IN
[TRANSMITTER INPUT] (SUB-AUDIBLE BAND: 5 ~ 250 HZ)
This pin is sub-audiable tone input. The input impedance is 600 Ohms, and has a flat response characteristic
(repeater deviation is constant for a given signal level
over the frequency range of 5 ~ 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 8: 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:

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 12: 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 “Remote”
mode. Avoid voltage in excess of 5 V on this pin, or
internal damage to the microprocessor on the repeater
CNTL Unit may result.
[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 deemphasis).
Pin 24: TXD LOW
[ANALOG INPUT FOR DATA COMMUNICATIONS]
(300 ~ 3,000 Hz)
This pin is intended to be used as a low speed data
signal input to the repeater (typically 1200 bps). This
digital data signal is injected before the transmitter preemphasis and limiting stages, so excess signal input
levels are clipped.
Pin 25: TXD HIGH
[DIGITAL INPUT FOR THE DATA COMMUNICATIONS]
(0 ~ 5 kHz)
This pin is intended to be used as a high speed digital

VXR-9000 FM REPEATER OPERATING MANUAL
INSTALLATION
Antenna Considerations
Equipment Location
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.
The VXR-9000 must be installed in a 19-inch Mounting
Rack, which will allow for free air flow around the heat
sink on the rear apron at all times. In warm climates,
the repeater should not be sealed in a small, closed room
without air conditioning.
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 Ω
at the operating frequency. When separate receive and
transmit antennas are used, high-Q narrow-band types
may serve to minimize interaction.
While the operating temperature range of the VXR-9000
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-9000 (Mounting Rack) from wind and
rain, and extremes in temperature or humidity that
may shorten the useful life of the equipment. Try to locate the VXR-9000 (Mounting Rack) in an environment
that is also comfortable for service personnel, if possible.
NEVER TRANSMIT WITHOUT HAVING A
TRANSMIT ANTENNA CONNECTED TO THE
TX ANTENNA JACK OF THE REPEATER.
VXR-9000 FM REPEATER OPERATING MANUAL

INSTALLATION
Power Supply
Backup Power Supply
Operation of the VXR-9000 requires a power source capable of providing at least 12 Amps continuously at
13.6 Volts DC. The FP-1023 (23 A) and FP-1030A (30 A)
AC Power Supplies are available from your Vertex Standard dealer to satisfy these requirements. Other wellregulated power supplies may be used, as well, if they
meet the above voltage and current specifications.
For uninterrupted operation during power failures, a
12-volt rechargeable type battery (55-Ah or more recommended) may be connected to the BACKUP terminal 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.
Use the DC power cable 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.
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.
