VXR-9000 FM REPEATER OPERATING MANUAL
INTRODUCTION
The VXR-9000 is commercial-grade 50-watt FM repeater designed to provide reliable two-way full-duplex commu-
nications over a wide range of environmental conditions.
Designed to mount in a standard 19-inch rack, the VXR-9000 is crafted using the latest computer-aided design and
manufacturing processes, to ensure a high level of reliability to users. Important channel frequency data is stored in
EEPROM, and is easily programmable by a Servicing Technician or Dealer using an IBM compatible personal com-
puter and the VPL-1 Programming Cable and CE60 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-9000. After reading it, keep this manual handy for quick reference, in case
questions arise later on.
Important Note: Internal service work, programming, and accessory installations should only be performed by your
authorized Vertex Standard Dealer. Dangerous conditions and/or possibly illegal operation may result from im-
proper setup, programming, or internal modifications.
SAFETY/WARNING INFORMATION
The antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be fixed-mounted on outdoor permanent structures with a
separation distance of at least 74cm from all persons during normal operation and must not exceed an
antenna gain of 0 dBd. This device must be restricted to work related operations in an Occupational/Con-
trolled RF exposure Environment, not exceeding a maximum transmitting duty factor of 50%. The antenna(s)
used with this device must satisfy the antenna co-location requirements of 47 C.F.R. 1.1307(b)(3).
NOTICE!
Do not modify this repeater for any reason.
Refer service of this repeater to qualified technicians only.
When the repeater become abnormal, such as the overheating, smoke smell of burning, etc., turn the main
power switch off and disconnect the Main Power Source connector from the rear of the VXR-9000 imme-
diately. Also disconnect any backup power source you may have connected to the rear of the VXR-9000.
Do not place any combustible material near the repeater.
Do not spray any liquid over the repeater.
Ensure that the power and antenna connections are securely made, using cables with excess capacity for
the power being utilized.
