The Tait Orca 5000 series of portable radios

There are eight Tait Orca 5000 series portable radio products:

■ Orca 5010/11 - low tier conventional

■ Orca 5015 - mid tier conventional

■ Orca 5020/21 - high tier conventional

■ Orca 5030 - low tier trunked

■ Orca 5035 - mid tier trunked

■ Orca 5040 - high tier trunked

This manual includes information specific to all the Orca 5000 portable radios. As new features and enhancements occur, new revisions of this manual will be released.

The Tait Orca product code

The characters in the Tait Orca 5000 product code provide information about the radio’s functional parameters and various hardware options, according to the scheme outlined in Figure A-1. For more information on available products, contact your nearest Tait dealer.

Figure A-1: Tait Orca 5000 Product Code Scheme

The Tait Orca Product Code has the following structure:

TOP-abcde-mn

where:

TOP - Family designator

a - Frequency band b - Channel spacing/IFBW c - User interface d - Air interface e - Compliance-relevant changes

m - Badging

n - Custom variations not affecting

radio/EMC compliance

Notes:

1. The complete Tait Orca product code standard can be downloaded from the

technical support Website:

http://www.taitworld.com/support

2. In this manual, when the term TOP x is used (e.g. TOP A or TOP B), it indicates the specific frequency band. TOP A will therefore refer to an A band Orca, and TOP B to a B band Orca.

Operating instructions

A user’s guide is available for each radio. Copies can be obtained through Technical Support.

Accessories

Table A-1 shows the accessories available for Tait Orca 5000 portable radios. Of these accessories, only the chargers are serviceable.

For more information on chargers, see Part E: Battery packs and chargers. The battery packs available for Tait Orca 5000 portable radios are also described in Part E.

New chassis

A new chassis and accessory connector have been introduced in September 2002. This provides greater strength to the accessory connector. Old accessories are however no longer compatible with the new chassis, nor will the new accessories fit the old chassis. See “Accessory connector compatibility” on page G-8. Information specific to the old chassis or accessories can be found in version M5000-00-103 of the Tait Orca 5000 service manual.

The new accessory connectors have a different shape quarter turn tip, no hooks on the locating posts and a green dot on the outside at the lower left corner

The new chassis has a different shape hole for the connector’s quarter turn tip, and a green

seal behind. Figure A-2 illustrates the difference. Radios factory fitted with the new chassis also have a product code with the format TOP-xxxxx-Bx.

Figure A-2: Changed chassis hole

Fitting an accessory

To fit some accessories to the radio, you will

Figure A-3: Fitting an accessory with a D-Clip

need to remove the rear accessory cover. Remove the battery, then insert the end of a key underneath the bottom edge of the accessory cover. Lift to remove the cover.

When attaching or removing an accessory, ensure that the lever is in the upright position. Keeping the accessory connector parallel to the radio, engage the two posts at the base of the connector with the rear panel. Once the accessory is in position, rotate the lever 90 degrees counterclockwise to lock it in place. See Figure A-3.

Removing an accessory

When removing an accessory, press the lock spring tab before rotating the clip clockwise. See Figure A-4.

Fitting a non-Tait accessory

See Part F: Accessories for information on using non-Tait accessories with Tait Orca 5000 portable radios.

Important information

Basic servicing precautions

Tait Orca 5000 portable radios require specialised servicing techniques and should only be serviced at an approved Tait service centre equipped with the necessary facilities.

Figure A-5: Typical anti-static bench setup

Warning!

Repairs attempted with incorrect equipment or by untrained personnel may result in permanent damage.

Caution: CMOS devices

This equipment contains CMOS devices, which are susceptible to damage from static charges. Care when handling these devices is essential. For correct handling procedures, refer to manufacturers’ data books covering CMOS devices, such as Philips Data Handbook

Covering CMOS Devices or Motorola CMOS Data Book Section 5 (Handling Procedures).

Screw head types

Torx recess head screws and Pozidriv recess head screws require the correct sized driver to achieve best performance. Most of the screws in Tait Orca 5000 portable radios are Torx head screws, and so a Torx T6 driver bit is supplied as part of the service kit. Some earlier radios have Pozidriv screws.

Standard anti-static procedures should be followed; a typical setup is shown in Figure A-5.

If in doubt, contact Tait Electronics Ltd or your nearest Tait dealer.

Calibrating

For information on calibrating Tait Orca 500 0 portable radios, refer to:

■ the Tait Orca Calibration Application User’s

Manual or the online help.

The User’s Manual is on the TOP Programming Utilities (TPU) CD-ROM, which is included, together with this manual, as part of the calibration service kit.

Test facilities

Standard test facilities provide a way of testing the radio’s functions independently of normal radio operation. See Part C: Diagnostics and fault finding for a description of the test facilities available for Tait Orca 5000 portable radios.

Basic maintenance

Your Tait Orca portable radio requires no regular maintenance other than ensuring that the battery has sufficient charge and that no damage has occurred to the antenna or the battery pack.

Troubleshooting

If you are experiencing difficulty operating your Tait Orca p ortable radio check the foll owing items:

■ Is the battery firmly attached to the radio?

■ Is the battery sufficiently charged?

■ Is the battery charger working properly?

■ Is the antenna damaged?

If all appears to be in order but your radio still fails to operate properly, consult your local Tait dealer for assistance.

General care

■ Wipe the battery contacts, accessory

connector contacts and radio display with a dry lint-free cloth to remove any dirt, oil or grease.

■ Use a cloth dampened with clean water to

clean the radio’s case and display lens, but do not immerse the radio in fluids.

■ Do not allow the radio to come into

contact with detergents, alcohol, aerosol sprays or petroleum-based products as they may permanently damage the case.

■ Avoid high temperatures. If the radio

overheats, it will cease to function. You will hear two short high-pitched beeps.

B - 12 Radio specifications June 2003 IPN: M5000-00-105

Circuit descriptions

Circuit interface diagrams for the Tait Orca portable radios are shown in Figure A-1 (TOP B, C, G, H, I, J and K) and Figure A-2 (TOP A only).

The Tait Orca portable radio has been designed to be totally electronically tuned using the Calibration Application. The titles of tests referred to below are tests available in the calibration system, e.g. Power Level test refers to the Power Level screen in the calibration system. Consult the Calibration Application online help or User’s Manual for more information on specific calibration tests.

Transmitter

The RF power amplifier amplifies transmit RF from the VCO to the output power level (3W 800/900 MHz, 4W UHF, 5W VHF). The PA output is fed to the PIN switch, which provides isolation between the transmit and receive paths.

An LPF follows the PIN switch and provides attenuation of unwanted high frequency signals.

Following the LPF, the signal is fed to the antenna.

The output power level is controlled by the microprocessor and associated circuitry, and is initially set by calibrating the radio (Power

Level test).

Transmit (Tx) audio

Tx audio from the microphone is processed by the DSP and associated circuitry into two modulation signals, one required by the TCXO in the synthesiser and the other by the VCO.

A digital pot is used to set the overall deviation and modulation balance; these are controlled by calibration (Maximum Deviation and

Modulation Balance tests).

Receiver

RF from the antenna is fed via the LPF and PIN switch into the receiver. The RF passes through the front end tuning circuit, which rejects unwanted frequencies. The front end is electronically tuned, and the front end tuning voltage that sets the centre of the bandpass filter is determined during calibration (Front End Tuning test).

The output of the front end tuning stage is fed to the first mixer, and the VCO provides the local oscillator input. The output of the mixer is at the first IF frequency (45.1 MHz UHF/

21.4 MHz VHF).

The IF signal passes through two crystal filters, separated by the IF amplifier.

In the Demod IC, the signal passes through the second mixer, producing the second IF (455 kHz). The second IF passes through a ceramic band pass filter and IF amp, which are external to the IC. The second IF is then fed back into the Demod IC for another amplification stage, then through another ceramic band bass filter. The final stage is the phase lock loop (PLL) discriminator in the Demod IC, which produces detected audio.

A squelch detect circuit detects high frequency audio noise and compares it with a threshold (programmable as city or country for each channel), which is set up by the microprocessor. The squelch level can be set during calibration (Squelch Thresholds test).

The RSSI output of the detector circuit provides an analogue indication of the received signal strength. RSSI thresholds are set during calibration (RSSI Thresholds test).

Receive (Rx) audio

The detected audio is processed by the DSP, amplified and fed to an internal speaker,

June 2003 IPN: M5000-00-105 Circuit descriptions B - 13

whose selection is controlled by a line from the microprocessor. The speaker output is always available on the accessory connector to drive an external speaker.

The unprocessed audio from the output of the demodulator IC (RX-DET-AF) is also available at the accessory connector.

DSP

All signalling, such as Selcall, CTCSS, DCS, G-STAR, DTMF and FFSK, and all confidence tones are generated by the DSP. However, only Selcall, CTCSS, FFSK and Two-tone are decoded by the DSP.

The DSP operates in half-duplex mode. That is, its CODEC input and output is switched between the Tx and Rx audio paths, according to whether the radio is transmitting or receiving.

Synthesiser and VCO

The synthesiser receives channel frequency information from the microprocessor. It then sets the VCO to the required frequency and maintains its stability using a phase-locked loop. There are one or two VCOs, depending on the radio type. Some bands have one VCO that covers the whole tuning range of the radio plus the IF offset, with its output switched to Tx or Rx. Other bands have a dedicated Tx and Rx VCO.

A lock detect output from the synthesiser (LCK-DET) indicates whether the VCO is producing the correct frequency (the radio is in lock). If the frequency is incorrect, the lock detect status prevents the transmitter from operating, and informs the control microprocessor.

The reference frequency for the synthesiser is provided by the TCXO (temperature compensated crystal oscillator), which is initially set on frequency using a DC voltage at calibration (TCXO Calibration test).

Power supplies

+5V-DIG

The +5V-DIG supply provides a regulated 5 V to the microprocessor and its associated circuitry. It is controlled by the on/off switch and a line from the microprocessor.

It provides 5 V to all circuitry that requires power when the radio is in economy mode.

+5V-AN

The +5V-AN supply provides the power to all circuitry that requires 5 V when the radio is not in economy mode, mainly all analog circuitry in the receiver, synthesiser and audio modules. It is controlled by a line from the microprocessor and is a regulated supply.

+5V-TX

The +5V TX supply provides power for the exciter stage of the transmitter when the radio is in transmit mode. It is controlled by a line from the microprocessor and is a regulated supply.

+7V5-BATT

The +7V5-BATT supply is the unregulated voltage supplied to the radio from the battery.

+7V5-ACC

The +7V5-ACC supply is supplied to the accessory connector from the battery through a switch and a current limiter.

+7V5-SW

The +7V5-SW switched suppl y is an unregulated voltage supplied to the radio from the battery through a switch.

+14V

The +14V regulated supply provides the 14 V required by the loop filter in the synthesiser.

A switch mode regulator produces this voltage from the +7V5-SW and +5V-AN supplies.

B - 14 Circuit descriptions June 2003 IPN: M5000-00-105

+4V3-DEC

The +4V3-DEC supply is derived from the +5V-AN voltage. It is used to power the transmit and receive VCOs in conjunction with the transmit control line from the processor. It also provides the loop filter reference in the synthesiser.

Accessory connector interface

The accessory connector interface is described in Part F: Accessories.

Universal band versus wideband IF filtering

The IF filtering for the universal band is designed in such a way that it functionally meets specifications for both narrowband and wideband systems.

The Deviation and Receive Audio Processing are selectable per channel, which enables the radio to inter-operate between narrowband and wideband channels.

PART

Diagnostics and fault finding

This part provides information on diagnosing faults in Tait Orca

5000 portable radios.

The information in the fault finding charts should be used in

combination with the test facilities, and it may also be helpful to examine the radio programming software data using the programming system for Tait Orca 5000 conventional or trunked radios.

Test facilities

Standard test facilities provide a way of testing the radio’s functions independently of normal radio operation. A series of test commands can be sent to a radio in two ways:

■ using the TOP calibration application; or

■ using a terminal program.

See the Tait Orca Calibra tion Application: User’s Manual or the program’s online help for infor-

mation on using the calibration system to send test commands to a radio.

When using a terminal program, use the following settings:

■ baud rate: 9600

■ number of data bits: 8

■ number of stop bits: 1

■ parity: none

■ flow control: none.

To put the radio into computer-controlled test mode, send ^ (Shift-6), wait for a return prompt (v), then immediately send % (Shift-5). A (-) appears. You can then begin sending test commands to the radio.

A full list of test commands is given in Table C-1. Table C-2 shows how to calculate the parameters necessary for test command

101.

If using the calibration system to send test commands to a radio, the parameters for command 101 are automatically calculated from the frequency value entered.

Error codes

The errors you may receive while the radio is in test mode are outlined below. If the radio must be returned for repair (e.g. the DSP needs to be replaced), contact your Tait dealer for more information.

{C01}

An invalid command code has been received. Try sending the command again.

{C02}

A (valid) command code has been received but with invalid parameters. Check the parameters and try sending the command again.

{C03}

A (valid) command code has been received but it cannot be processed at this time. Try sending the command again.

If the error persists, turn the radio off, then on again and put the radio into test mode. If the error still persists, contact your Tait dealer.

{C04}

An error occurred during the initialisation of test mode. Turn the radio off, then on again and put the radio into test mode.

If the error persists, contact your Tait dealer.

{X01}

EPROM checksum error. The software code in the flash has been corrupted. Re-download the radio software.

If the error persists, the flash needs to be replaced. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X02}

Internal RAM failed. The RAM in the microprocessor is faulty and the microprocessor needs to be replaced. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X03}

External RAM failed. The RAM in the ASIC is faulty and the ASIC needs to be replaced. Contact your Tait dealer.

June 2003 IPN: M5000-00-105 Test facilities C - 3

{X04}

The DSP is not responding. Check the DSP for pin connections.

If the error persists, the DSP needs to be replaced. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X05}

The DSP version number is incorrect. The radio software and DSP software are incompatible. The DSP needs to be replaced with a later version. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X06}

The MCU internal configuration is incorrect. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X09}

The prototype timer has expired. This error will only occur on prototype software releases when the radio usage time has expired.

New radio software must be downloaded into the radio and the new software must have a different software version number.

{X31}

Model configuration checksum error. This error indicates that the radio’s model configuration checksum is incorrect. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X36}

Temperature is above the T2 threshold and turn off of the transmitter is impending. Allow the radio to cool down before continuing.

{X37}

Voltage is less than the V1 threshold; the radio will give a low battery warning. Replace the battery or use a DC service adaptor.

{X38}

Voltage is less than the V2 threshold. The radio turns itself off after indicating this error and so will be unable to respond to the reset command character.

Replace the battery or use a DC service adaptor.

{X32}

Database checksum error. This error indicates that the radio’s database checksum is incorrect. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X33}

ESN error. The radio’s electronic serial number is incorrect. Contact your Tait dealer.

{X35}

Temperature is above the T1 threshold and turn down of transmit power is impending. Allow the radio to cool down before continuing.

Fitting the PCB to the chassis and replacing the RF out assembly

Put the battery contact seal over the battery contacts rather than into the chassis. If you put the seal on the chassis, the contacts will squash the seal.

Fit the replacement RF out assembly as shown in Figure D-11.

If you have removed the antenna connector or either of the switches, fit them on the PCB (refer to Figures D-8 and D-9), but do not yet solder them in place. Align them with the holes in the chassis, and as you lower the PCB onto the chassis, make sure the accessory flex protruding from the chassis fits into the socket on the PCB. Lower the PCB onto the chassis, making sure it is firmly seated.

Fit the PA screw loosely in place. Align the switches so they are centred, referring to Figures D-8 and D-9 for placement.

Figure D-12 shows the reassembly of the antenna and switches. Replace the washers, making sure the cone fa ces up. The nuts for the two switches are black.

Replace the nuts, making sure they are threaded correctly before using an 8 mm long reach

socket driver set to 10in.lb (1.1Nm). Then tighten the PA screw to 2in.lb (0.23Nm).

Using a heavy-tip soldering iron (e.g. Weller 2PTCC8 tip), solder the antenna connector and two switches in place, if required, taking care not to damage the surrounding components.

Replace the knob seal over the antenna connector and the two switches (see Figure D-12).

Fitting the shield to the chassis

Replace the microphone grommet over the microphone.

Replace the shield from the top of the radio, ensuring that the two pins on the chassis go into the two holes at the top of the shield.

Replace the plastic speaker pins.

Should the main seal need replacing, place the new seal so that the notch at the top of the chassis (behind the channel selector switch) matches that on the seal and the profile matches the chassis.

Run your finger around the seal to ensure that it fits properly into the seal retaining well.

Battery packs

Six battery packs are available for Tait Orca 5000 portable radios. These battery packs are not serviceable, but their construction and expected life are described below.

The battery packs available are:

■ TOPB100 NiCD battery pack;

■ TOPB600 NiCD battery pack (slim, no belt

clip);

■ TOPB200 NiCD battery pack;

■ TOPB400 NiMH battery pack;

■ TOPB700 NiMH battery p ack (slim, no belt

clip); and

■ TOPB500 NiMH battery pack.

The battery casing is constructed using a rugged resin material, and includes two pieces that are ultrasonically welded together.

Battery shift life

Battery shift life is outlined in Table E-1. Battery shift life for other models and circumstances can be calculated from the typical drain rates on page E-4.

For intrinsically safe batteries, see page A-11.

Preserving battery shift life

It is important that you follow the steps below

to preserve the shift life of the battery:

■ Charge or change the battery as soon as

the radio gives the ‘Low Battery’ warning.

■ Short condition the battery weekly.

■ Long condition the battery only for the

following reasons: on first use of new battery, if performance is poor, and after more than two weeks of storage.

■ Avoid leaving charged batteries in the

charger for more than a day.

■ Clean electrical contacts of the battery

using a fibre glass pencil, or the graphite tip of a type 4H (#4) or harder pencil.

■ Always store the battery detached from

the radio when storing for more than a few days.

■ Turn the radio off when it is unattended

for long periods.

■ Use only a Tait-recommended charger.

■ Maintain an ambient temperature of

between 5°C and 40°C during recharging. Optimum battery performance will be obtained between 15°C and 25°C.

■ Do not allow the battery pack contacts to

become short-circuited.

Extending battery shift life

Battery shift life can be extended by activating economy mode (conventional radios) or by using dynamic power control (trunked radios).

During economy mode, the radio cycles between the normal receive state and a standby state, in which some of the radio’s circuitry is switched off or placed on standby mode. Dynamic power control optimises the radio’s power use by reducing the transmit power in high signal strength areas.

Typical drain rates for a conventional UHF radio are:

■ 1.5 A at high power transmit;

■ 300 mA in receive at rated audio;

■ 80 mA on standby (no audio);

■ 55 mA with low economy cycling enabled;

■ 45 mA with medium economy cycling

enabled; and

■ 40 mA with high economy cycling

enabled.

Economy cycling in conventional radios is programmed in the Power Save Features screen of the Tait Orca Portable Conventional Programming Application (TOPCPA). Dynamic power control in trunked radios is enabled in the User Selectable Parameters screen of the Tait Orca Portable Trunked Programming Application (TOPTPA).

Disposing of used nickel-cadmium batteries

NiCd batteries contain a small amount of the metal cadmium, which can produce potentially toxic waste if not disposed of properly. Contact your Tait dealer for recycling details.

Battery chargers

Note:

Note: In order to charge TOPB700 NiMH

Note:Note: batteries, the charger must have firmware version 2.07 or greater. TOPB500 NiMH batteries can be charged on chargers with firmware version 2.05 or greater.

Three battery chargers are available for Tait Orca portable radios:

■ desktop fast charger;

■ desktop trickle charger; and

■ six-way multi-charger.

The fast charger charges, conditions and analyses the battery. The trickle charger only charges the battery, and does not have a conditioning button but is otherwise identical in appearance to the fast charger. The multicharger is made up of six fast chargers, and charging instructions for the fast charger also apply to the multi-charger.

The trickle charger should not be used for NiMH battery packs as they can take up to 24 hours to charge fully and the overall lifetime of the battery may be reduced. NiMH battery packs should be charged using a fast charger.

For details on charging intrinsically safe batteries, see page A-11.

Repair of chargers is limited to replacement of the spring contacts, the discharge tact switch and the DC jack.

The repair information provided for the fast charger also applies to repair of the trickle charger and multi-charger.

A spares kit is available for Tait Orca chargers (TOPA-SP-202). The contents of the spares kit is shown in Table E-2, and the assembly of these parts is shown in Figure E-3.

Desktop fast charger

The Tait Orca desktop fast charger (Figure E-1) is an intelligent charger that can charge, condition and analyse both NiCd and NiMH batteries of varying capacities.

Fast charger operation

A circuit diagram of the fast charger is shown in Figure E-2. The fast charger operates using constant current charging and multiple criteria for end-of-charge detection. When a battery is inserted, the charger detects the type of battery, checks to see if it is working correctly, and then charges the battery.

If the conditioning button is pressed after inserting the battery, the charger will discharge the battery before charging. If the conditioning button is held down while the battery is being inserted, the charger wi ll enter a long condition cycle that will charge and discharge the battery a number of times and, on the last cycle, check its capacity before recharging.

Multiple protection methods are employed to ensure safe operation.

Conditioning button

sor, D1, in conjunction with PolySwitch™ PS1. Under reverse polarity conditions, D1 conducts, drawing the available short circuit current until PS1 trips. D1 also protects against any voltage spikes that may come through the AC to DC adaptor. The unit is designed for 10.5 - 14 V operation.

The +5V supply is produced by the regulator, IC1. A feature of this regulator is that it provides a RESET output to the microprocessor. This RESET output is used to delay startup of the microprocessor until the power supply has stabilised after turn-on. It also puts the microprocessor into reset if the input voltage falls too low. D2 sets this low voltage threshold to approximately 9.2 V.

The intelligence of the fast charger is provided by the microprocessor, IC2, which interfaces with the current source, the discharge circuit and the expanded battery voltage interface. The user can interact with the fast charger by pressing the conditioning button, SW1, and can observe the operational state on the tri-colour LED, D5.

The current source is based on a groundsensing linear topology. R1 and R2 are the current sense resistors. The power device is a P-channel MOSFET, Q4, which is controlled by an operational amplifier, IC3:A. The feedback path that controls the op amp, and hence the current, is through transistor Q5 and its resistor network. The grounding on R23 includes the ground sense resistors in the feedback path. The nominal output current is 800 mA.

Hardware operation

Power to the unit is provided from a 12 volt, 1 amp (nominal) wall-mounted AC to DC adaptor, through SK1. R everse polarity protection is provided by the 22 V transient suppres-

June 2003 IPN: M5000-00-105 Desktop fast charger E - 7

The discharge circuit is based around a constant current sink. This uses an N-channel MOSFET, Q6, controlled by an operational amplifier, IC3:B. R41 and R42 are the current sense resistors that allow the op amp to set the current. The nominal discharge current is 400 mA.

The microprocessor needs to be able to monitor the battery voltage. A coarse voltage is provided by the voltage divider R48, R49 and R50. This voltage divider brings the range of battery voltage into the same range as the microprocessor A/D input (0-5 V). This enables the microprocessor to monitor the general battery voltage. An expanded battery voltage interface is based around operational amplifier IC3:C. It expands a small window of battery voltage over the range of the microprocessor A/D input. This enables the microprocessor to detect small changes in battery voltage and accurately pick when the battery voltage drops below peak.

The interface to the battery is through four contacts, positive (+BATT), temperature (TEMP), capacity (CAP) and ground (GND). The positive and ground contacts are the main connections for charging. In the battery pack, the temperature contact is connected to ground via a thermistor. This allows the charger to monitor the temperature of the battery and if the battery temperature is outside the range +5°C to +40°C, the charger will not charge the battery. The charger also uses the temperature line for detecting the presence of a battery; for example, detecting whether the battery has been inserted or removed from the charger. In the battery pack, the capacity contact is connected to ground via a resistor . If there is a capacitor in parallel with the capacity resistor, then the resulting time constant indicates to the charger that the battery pack is NiMH. Consequently, battery packs that do not have a capacitor in parallel with the capacity resistor are considered to be NiCd.

Software operation

The charging sequence is as follows.

■ Battery discharge (optional);

■ Battery flat test;

■ Battery type detection;

■ Battery open circuit test;

■ Battery short circuit test;

■ Battery temperature test;

■ Rapid charge, with multiple end-of-charge

detection methods;

■ Rest;

■ Trickle charge (optional);

■ Standby charge;

■ Maintenance charge.

If during trickle or standby charge the battery voltage falls to the discharged battery threshold, the charger restarts the charge cycle as if the battery has just been inserted.

Charging the battery using the fast charger

Charging using the fast charger involves three stages.

■ The fast charge stage quickly brings the

battery up to near its full capacity. The charger LED will glow red.

■ The trickle stage slowly tops up the battery

until it is at its full capacity, which is typically 1½ hours. The charger LED will flash green.

■ The standby charge stage keeps the

battery at its full capacity, as long as the radio is turned off. The charger LED will glow green.

The battery can be charged separately or attached to the radio. The radio must be turned off to ensure a full charge.

Turn off the radio and insert the battery/radio into the charger. If the indicator does not glow red, make sure the battery/radio is seated properly and the charger is plugged in correctly. If the battery is too hot or too cold, the indicator will remain amber until the battery temperature is within the safe range for

perature is within correct range

charger, contacts d irty or battery faulty

tioned, or if flashing amber straight away, it may indicate a fault such as dirty contacts

recharging (5°C to 40°C).

Approximate charge times are:

■ up to 1½ hours for TOPB100 and

TOPB600;

■ up to 2 hours for TOPB200, TOPB400 and

TOPB700; and

■ up to 2½ hours for TOPB500.

Once the battery has reached approximately 90% capacity, the indicator will flash green. At this point, it is recommended the battery be left in the charger for a further 1 to 2 hours, to ensure maximum battery charge. Once the battery is fully charged, the indicator will glow green.Avoid leaving charged batteries in the charger for more than a day.

Conditioning the battery with the fast charger

Two conditioning functions are available on the fast charger, a short conditioning cycle and a long conditioning cycle. The short cycle discharges the battery then charges it. Regularly recharging a battery that has not been completely discharged will eventually affect its ability to hold a full charge.

For best performance, the battery should be conditioned weekly using the fast charger. Conditioning the battery takes about four to eight hours, depending on how much use it has had.

Note

Note: Do not use the short conditioning cycle

NoteNote on a new battery without first fully charging it using a long conditioning cycle.

The long conditioning cycle is necessary:

■ before the battery is used for the first time;

■ if the battery performance has deteriorat-

ed; or

■ after the battery has been stored for longer

than two weeks.

June 2003 IPN: M5000-00-105 Desktop fast charger E - 9

To short condition the battery

Turn off the radio and insert the battery/radio into the fast charger. When the charger LED glows red, press the conditioning button until the indicator flashes amber. Release the conditioning button. The LED will flash amber while the battery is being discharged. Once the battery is discharged, it will charge normally. The battery is ready to be used again when the charger LED glows green.

To long condition the battery

Long conditioning the battery with the fast charger will put the battery through a number of conditioning cycles and will check the battery’s capacity on the last cycle.

To long condition the battery, turn off the radio. Press and hold the conditioning button while inserting the battery/radio. Continue holding the conditioning button until the indicator flashes amber. When the indicator flashes amber, release the conditioning button.

The long condition cycle will take approximately 24 hours.

Once charged, the charger’s indicator will glow green if the battery is in good condition. The indicator will flash red if the battery is well below optimum capacity; consult your Tait dealer.

Repairing the fast charger

The assembly of the fast charger is shown in Figure E-3.

Depress the release tab in the base of the charger using the end of a flat-bladed screwdriver. Holding the lever in, gently pull the body away from the base. Lift out the PCB.

Replace the battery contacts, the tact switch and the DC jack, if necessary.

Replacing the spring contacts

t c

Remove the faulty contacts with a soldering iron and discard.

If the replacement spring contacts have a larger diameter and will not fit through the PCB, the holes should be drilled out to 2.2mm.

When placing the replacement contact, it must not be bent or otherwise damaged. Solder the replacement contact in place using a heavy-tip soldering iron (e.g. Weller 2PTCC8 tip). Hold onto the contact with a pair of pliers and apply solder to the PCB, rather than to the contact, to avoid contact damage.

Desktop trickle charger

The Tait Orca desktop trickle charger can charge a 1100 mAh or 1500 mAh NiCd battery overnight. It is designed to provide approximately 1450 mAh of charge in a 16 hour period. Thus both 1100 mAh or 1500 mAh NiCd batteries can be charged. Simple protection of the radio is provided in the form of an open circuit voltage limit as well as short circuit protection.

Figure E-5 shows the charger current profile. Figure E-6 shows the circuit diagram for the trickle charger.

Trickle charger operation

When the battery voltage is above approximately 8 V, the charge current is inversely proportional to the battery voltage. This characteristic is produced by Q100, Q101 and Q102. The charge current is determined b y the current through R104, which is set by Q102, its emitter resistors and the reference voltage. The slope of the curve is determined by Q101 and R106. The reference voltage is provided by an

8.2 V Zener diode (D100).

When the battery voltage is below approximately 8 V, the charge current is proportional to the battery voltage. This is accomplished by using Q103 to change the reference voltage in proportion to the battery voltage. This changes the current through R104, which changes the charge current, as desired.

The maximum voltage available from the trickle charger is limited to less than 10.5 V by R111, in conjunction with Q101, so that the radio can not be damaged if the battery goes open circuit. If the battery goes short circuit, then Q102 is held off by Q103 and thus Q100 is off, and there is negligible charge current.

On startup, the state of the charger is similar to that when the charger output is shorted. When power is applied, V

IN starts to rise and the

emitter voltage of Q103 rises. However, the base of Q103 is still at zero volts, so Q103 starts to turn on. When Q103 is on, it will maintain Q102 off and hence Q100 will also stay off. Thus when V

IN has risen to its final value, the

circuit is in an off state, giving negligible output voltage and charge current.

In order to activate the circuit, a minimum voltage of approximately 2.6 V (a battery) must be connected to the circuit to charge C101 and turn Q103 off, thus turning on the charger.

The LED is on whenever there is sufficient charge current. Its brightness is proportional to the charge current profile, and its turn-on and turn-off thresholds are determined by R105. Thus the LED is on under normal charging, dims when the battery approaches full charge and is off under fault/no charge condiions.

Accessory connector signal descriptions

RX-DET-AF-ACC

The RX-DET-AF-ACC line carries unprocessed receive audio from the output of the detector IC.

EXT-MIC

The EXT-MIC signal is an analogue input from the microphone of an accessory.

Connecting a microphone to EXT-MIC automatically turns off the radio’s internal microphone.

MOD-AUDIO

The MOD-AUDIO line is used during calibration to set up the modulation balance and by some accessories, such as modems.

+7V5-ACC

The +7V5-ACC line supplies +7.5 V to accessories and is limited to 20 mA maximum. The output voltage itself will change depending on the battery voltage level, and there will be some voltage differential between the battery voltage and 7V5-ACC, depending on the current drawn by the accessory.

RXD-ACC

The RXD-ACC line carries data from the accessory connector to the controller during tasks such as radio programming and calibration.

TXD-ACC

The TXD-ACC line is a digital data line from the microprocessor and carries synchronous data from the controller to the accessory connector during tasks such as radio programming and calibration.

SENSE-0-ACC

SENSE-0-ACC is used to turn off the radio’s internal speaker. To turn off the internal speaker, tie SENSE-0-ACC to GND by shorting link 1 (LK1). The external speaker outputs are always active.

SENSE-1-ACC

On conventional radios, SENSE-1-ACC is an output which follows the squelch detect line.

On tr unked ra dios, SENSE-1-ACC is a currently unused input.

EXT-PTT

The EXT-PTT is an analogue signal from the accessory interface to the control area and indicates an external request for PTT and external function buttons.

GND

The GND pin is the ground point of the accessory connector.

BUTTON-1 and BUTTON-2

Two external accessory function buttons are available, BUTTON-1 and BUTTON-2.

The sensing of the external function buttons is determined by a voltage divider on EXT-PTT. This consists of a 27 kΩ pull up to 5 V inside the radio and a pull down resistor on the accessory PCB. The resistor pull downs for BUTTON-1 and BUTTON-2 are as follows:

■ PTT function: resistor pull down 0 Ω,

voltage level on EXT-PTT is 0 V;

■ BUTTON-1 function: resistor pull down

12 kΩ, voltage level on EXT-PTT is 1.5 V;

■ BUTTON-2 function: resistor pull down

27 kΩ, voltage level on EXT-PTT is 2.5 V.

These resistors are already fitted to the accessory PCB.

EXT SPKR +/–

The EXT SPKR +/– line can be used to drive an external speaker. Neither terminal should be grounded, as the output is differential.

This pin provides a connection for accessories requiring RF, such as the RF speaker microphone. When an RF accessory is connected, the main antenna is switched out.

7.5 mm Accessory adaptor

You can connect non-Tait accessories that require a 7.5 mm adaptor to the Tait Orca portable radio using the 7.5 mm accessory adaptor (TOPA-AA-005G).

Such accessories use 3.5 mm and 2.5 mm phono plugs with 7.62 mm spacing between them. The speaker and microphone/PTT jacks for the 7.5 mm adaptor are shown in Figure F-4.

To connect an accessory to the Tait Orca portable radio that uses PTT in series with the microphone, wire the accessory to a 3.5 mm plug and 2.5 plug according to Figure F-4.

The 7.5 mm accessory adaptor differs from the standard accessory connector in that with the

7.5 mm adaptor, the PTT signal is in series with the microphone signal. The standard accessory connector has separate PTT and microphone signals. If the accessory has function buttons, they will not work with the

7.5 mm adaptor.

The main function of the 7.5 mm adaptor is to demultiplex the accessory’s MIC/PTT line into

Figure F-4: Plugs for the 7.5 mm accessory adaptor

two separate lines for the Tait Orca portable radio. The adaptor also detects the presence of the accessory speaker and turns off the radio’s speaker.

Figure F-5 shows the circuit diagram for the

7.5 mm accessory adaptor.

When the accessory PTT switch is pressed, it connects the microphone to the adaptor between ground and the base of Q3 (see Figure F-5). This pulls Q3 low turning it on. Q3 in turn pulls the base of Q2 high which pulls the EXT-PTT line low, enabling the transmitter. Audio from the accessory microphone passes through C4 to the radio’s EXT-MIC line.

When the accessory speaker is connected, the base of Q1 is pulled high via R3 and R1, turning it on. This pulls the SENSE-0-ACC line low, which tells the radio to turn off the internal speaker, and only the accessory speaker is operational. C1, C2 and C3 filter out the audio signal, so that the voltage swing of the signal will not turn off Q1.
