Vexter Standart LMR VXR-1000 Operating Manual

VXR-1000
OPERATING MANUAL
The VXR-1000 Series is designed to provide extended
handheld coverage by repeating transmissions in both di-
rections through an existing high power mobile radio.
Reliability is assured by a highly integrated surface mount
circuit design and a aluminum extrusion chassis. Impor-
tant channel frequency data is stored in EEPROM, and is
easily programmable by dealers using a personal com-
puter and the Vertex Standard 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 read-
ing it, keep the manual handy for quick reference, in case
questions arise later on.
We're glad you joined the Vertex Standard team. Call on
us any time, because our business is communications.
Let us help you get your message across.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC rules.
Operation is subject to the condition that this de-
vice does not cause harmful interference.

PRI Indicator
When on, "PRI" indicates that the unit is at priority count
zero and will repeat all transmissions.
TX Indicator
When on, "TX" indicates that the repeater is transmitting to
the handheld.
COR Indicator
This lamp blinks red when the VXR-1000 is receiving a sig-
nal from a handheld, and glows red while the VXR-1000 is
receiving a sub-audible tone from the handheld.
MBL Indicator
This lamp blinks red when the Mobile is receiving signal from
repeater or base, and glows red while the Mobile is transmit-
ting to the repeater or base.

ARDWARE ETTINGS
JP1004: Controls the output impedance of the transmit audio
line to the mobile radio.
Short: low-Z (600 Ω); open: high-Z (4.7 kΩ) *
JP1005: Controls the maximum drive level of the transmit au-
dio output to the mobile.
Short: low level output (0-100 mV)*; open: high level
output (0-5 V).
JP1001/1002/1003: Polarity of Power supply control.
Default setting: active high (JP1003: short).
VR1001: Mobile Microphone level
VR1002: Mobile RX Audio (External Modulation level)
VR1007: Mobile TX Audio (output level)
* default setting
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.

UNCTIONAL ESCRIPTION
When the user leaves the vehicle, they activate their mobile ra-
dio via its front panel or a separate switch. When the mobile ra-
dio 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 pro-
gram the repeater for the required operating parameters.
T O
RUNKING PERATION
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 ac-
quire a voice channel on the trunking system by keying the mo-
bile 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 "in-
tercept" 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 "on-air detect" line until the trans-
mitter 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 ac-
tive 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
un-key the mobile and send the "intercept" tone, as before.
