FCC ID: K66VXR-9000U Operating Manual The VXR-9000 repeater is provided with a 25-pin DB-25F 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 1: GND Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return. Pin 2: GND Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return. Pin 3: +13.6 V [Power Supply]
This pin provides 13.6 Volts, 1.0 A, regulated DC from the repeater supply. Use a 1 A fuse in the external devices DC line to prevent damage to the repeater. Pin 4,6,8,10,12,16,19,25: Programmable I/O_0~7 this repeater has eight port programmable input/output feature (PIO) for various control (or being controlled). Each port can be programmed their function, input or output, and its logic (output only). Pin 5: TX AF IN [Analog Transmitter Input]
(Voice Band: 300 ~ 3,000 Hz) Approximately 0.254 Vrms audio input on this pin will produce full system deviation at 1 kHz (5 kHz deviation with 25 kHz channel spacing, 2.5 kHz deviation with 12.5 kHz channel spacing). Input impedance is 600 .. This audio is injected before the splatter filter stage, so excess signal input levels are clipped. Use shielded cable to connect to this pin, and connect the shield to GND. Pin 7: TONE IN [Transmitter Input]
(Sub-audible Band: 6 ~ 250 Hz) Applying a 0.1 Vrms sub-audible tone produces 10%
of full system deviation. The input impedance is 600 W, and has a flat response characteristic (repeater deviation is constant for a given signal level over the frequency range of 6 ~ 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. 5/13 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K66VXR-9000U Operating Manual Pin 9: TX ATT This output is intended for controlling an external coaxial switching relay. It is an open collector output which can sink approx. 10 mA when active. This signal only switches if the repeater has been programmed Pin 11: DISC OUT [Analog Output]
(Wide-Band: 0 ~ 3,000 Hz) Received signals with full system deviation produce 1 Vp-p audio at this pin. The output impedance is 600 ., 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 13: GND Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return. Pin 14: GND Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return. Pin 15: 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:
Pin 17: COAX. SW [Logic Output (Active Low)]
This output is intended for controlling an external coaxial switching relay. It is an open collector output which can sink approx. 10 mA when active. This signal only switches if the repeater has been programmed for SIMPLEX mode. If programmed for DUPLEX, the signal remains open (high impedance) at all time. Pin 18: RXD LOW
[Digital Output for DATA Communications]
(300 ~ 3,000 Hz) This pin is an output for low speed receiving data signals (typically 1200 bps), with the data being extracted 6/13 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K66VXR-9000U Operating Manual after the de-emphasis and low pass filter stages. Pin 20: RXD HIGH
[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 de-emphasis). Pin 21: NSQ DET 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 22: TXD LOW
[Digital Input for DATA Communications]
(300 ~ 3,000 Hz) This pin is intended to be used as a low speed digital data signal input to the repeater (typically 1200 bps). This digital data signal is injected before transmitter pre-emphasis and limiting stage, so excess signal input levels are clipped. Pin 23: 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 BASE mode. Avoid voltage in excess of 5 V on this pin, or internal damage to the microprocessor on the repeater CNTL Unit may result. Pin 24: TXD HIGH
[Digital Input for the DATA Communications]
(0 ~ 5 kHz) This pin is intended to be used as a high speed digital data signal input to the repeater (typically 9600 bps). This digital data signal is injected after transmitter splatter filter stage. 7/13 Vertex Standard Co., Ltd. FCC ID: K66VXR-9000U Operating Manual Programmable Function Key Six push keys are programmable function (PF) key which have orange indicator inside each of them.
