VTX-1 Radio Transceiver - User Manual

The VTX-1 radio transceiver is designed to receive and transmit wireless analog & digital data and is designed to be used in

VISIPLEX products (such as paging encoders, data repeaters, wireless intercom controllers, etc.). The VTX-1 is typically

mounted inside the VISIPLEX host product and connected to its controller board using the Data & Power Interface 8-pin

cable. The VTX-1 unit is fully contained and no external adjustments are provided.

Programming of the VTX-1 parameters is performed via the USB port using commands sent via the PC serial port to the

VTX-1 host controller. The serial commands are sent using serial communication utilities such as HyperTerminal.

After programming is completed and the VTX-1 is mounted in to the VISIPLEX product, the USB port is not accessible to the

typical end user.

Note: The programming commands are available only to in-house radio technicians or external radio professionals familiar

with FCC restrictions under KDB 594280 to ensure compliance with FCC regulations.

Licensing

Some frequency bands governed by FCC rules require that the radio owner obtain a station license before using the

equipment to transmit. The station license holder is also responsible for the proper operation and maintenance of the VTX-1.

Note: The host end product label must include the following text: "Contains FCC ID: 2AAFWVTX1"

Safety
