Introduction The VXR-7000 is commercial quality 50-watt FM repeater designed to provide reliable, continuous-duty two-way communications over a wide range of environmental conditions. Designed to be a stylish base station, with high-grade components utilized throughout, the VXR-7000 utilizes the latest computer-aided design and manufacturing processes to ensure a high level of reliability for users.
Controls & Connectors Front Panel ① POWER Switch This is the main power switch for the repeater. ② LED Indicators AC: This LED glows green during AC operation. DC: This LED glows yellow during DC operation. ③ MIC Jack This 8-pin modular jack accepts the microphone input, and provides a standby control line to activate the transmitter when using the “BASE” mode of operation. This jack also provides a “Hook” control line, as well as a “Clone Data” line.
Controls & Connectors ⑪ Channel Indicator ⑭ ANI RESET Button This seven-segment LED indicates the operating channel number. ⑫ ANI Display The ANI LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) indicates the pre-programmed ANI message according to the ANI code received. ⑬ TX/BUSY Indicator (1) ANI Press this button to clear the message on the ANI display, and turn off the LCD backlight. (2) ENI Press this button to turn off the Alert tone.
ACC Connector Port The VXR-7000 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 1: GND Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return.
ACC Connector Port Pin 13: GND Chassis ground for all logic levels and power supply return. Pin 20: 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 21: A-OUTPUT [Logic Output] (Active Low) This open collector logic output is pulled low when the front panel’s ACCESSORY key is turned on. It can sink approx. 10 mA when active. Pin 15: N.C. (No connection.
LINE Interface Port The VXR-7000 is provided with an 8-pin modular jack for line interfacing applications. A Western Electric® modular-type RJ45 plug should be used to connect to this jack. The LINE jack pin-out is shown below. Note that there are both 4-line and 8-line types of modular plugs. If a 4-line modular plug is used, only the LINE OUT and LINE IN connections will be made. An 8-line plug is required to access all lines.
Installation Antenna Considerations AC Power Supply Voltage Selection Repeater operation without a duplexer requires that two antennas be installed, 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. If a duplexer is used, a single antenna suffices for both transmitting and receiving.
Installation Changing Switching Regulator unit AC Mains Jumper Wiring Before attempting this jumper wire change, remove the AC power cord from the AC jack on the rear panel. r Referring to Figure 1, remove the 14 screws affixing the top and bottom covers of the repeater, and remove the covers. r Remove the eight screws affixing the shield cover for the FILTER Unit, and remove the cover (see Figure 1).

CE27 Programming Software Instruction With the CE27 Programming Software, you can quickly and easily program the Vertex Standard VXR-7000 repeater’s channels and configuration from your personal computer. Channel data programming format is identical for VHF and UHF repeaters. In the event of an accidental memory failure, repeater memory and configuration data may be re-loaded in a matter of minutes. The CE27 Programming Software diskette contains the following files: • CE27.EXE • CE27.
CE27 Programming Software Instruction Channel Data Items Ch: Channel Number This 2-digit number (01 - 16) is used to identify the channel. Channel numbers occur in sequence, and their order can not be changed. Rx Freq.: Edit Receive (or simplex) Frequency Use the [0] - [9] keys to enter the desired channel frequency directly, and press the [ENTER] key.
CE27 Programming Software Instruction Rev Bst: Reverse Burst. When this parameter is set to “on,” the CTCSS tone signal’s phase is inverted just before the repeater turns to receive. This allows the portable/mobile station’s CTCSS Decoder to begin switching off, thus reducing the transition time required. Press the [SPACE] bar to toggle “on” or “off.” DCS Typ: DCS Format This command is effective only when DCS is chosen for squelch control.
CE27 Programming Software Instruction TX Pwr: Transmitter Power Output Selection This parameter selects the desired power output from the VXR-7000 on the current channel. The available values are HIGH and LOW. Press the [SPACE] bar to select “Hi” or “Lo.” TOT Mute: Enable/disable the TOT (Time-Out Timer) beep monitoring When this parameter is set to “on,” the alert beep will sound from the front panel speaker before the repeater turns itself off.
Duplexer Installation Important Notes! Please refer to the operating manual for your Duplexer for details regarding maximum power input, TX/RX connector locations, etc) before installing the Antenna Duplexer. Be certain to observe and comply with the specifications for frequency separation and maximum transmitter power for the duplexer connected to the VXR-7000, particularly when using the VXD-40xx internal duplexer.
Duplexer Installation Installations 1. Remove the 14 screws affixing the top and bottom covers of repeater, and remove the covers (Figure 1). 2. Turn the repeater upside down. 3. Referring to Figure 2, remove the upper screw in either side of the front panel, and loosen the lower screw in either side of the front panel, then slide the front panel forward slightly. 4. Remove the coaxial cables connected to the TX and RX antenna jacks of the repeater. 5.
