2Introduction

The TD9300 Data Terminal is an element of the Tait solution for grid
automation on electricity distribution networks. It uses its RF capability to
connect over the Tait DMR Tier III trunked network to exchange DMR
control channel and packet data messages with the Tait SCADA Gateway.

The TD9300 transfers industry-standard SCADA protocols over its
RS-232/RS-485 and Ethernet interfaces to allow interconnection to
industrial control equipment such as RTUs and IEDs.

The TD9300 can be installed in pole-mounted or other box enclosures
(refer to “Installation” on page 15). The operating temperature range is
–22°F to +140°F (– 30°C to + 60°C).

Refer to the System Manual for more information.

3Installation

The TD9300 can be mounted on a standard 35mm DIN rail using the
optional DIN rail adaptor. Ten holes are provided on the bottom of the
chassis for mounting this adaptor, using M3 Taptite screws (refer to

Figure 3.1 on page 16 and Figure 3.3 on page 18). These holes allow the

TD9300 to be mounted flat against the DIN rail. Up to two units may be
mounted in this way across a 19 inch rack or cabinet.

Notice Make sure that the mounting rail is strong enough to bear the
weight of the TD9300 units without bending.

The TD9300 can also be mounted directly on a flat surface using the
optional mounting brackets (refer to Figure 3.2 on page 17). Four holes are
provided on the bottom of the chassis for securing these brackets with M4
Taptite screws. Tighten to a maximum torque of 22lbf· in (2.5 N· m). If a
different mounting method is required, the measurements for these
mounting holes are provided in Figure 3.3 on page 18.

The TD9300 has an IP40 rating when mounted in any orientation. It also
has an IP51 rating (dust category 2) when mounted with the front panel
connectors facing down.

If access to the rear of the TD9300 is restricted when it is installed, it
may be difficult to release the latch to remove the unit at a later date.
Before mounting the unit, feed a cable tie through the hole in the end of
the latch and fasten it into a loop. This may help you to pull the latch
open when required.

Mounting 1. Mount the DIN rail adaptor to the bottom of the TD9300 as shown,

using four M3 Taptite screws. Use a Torx T10 driver. Tighten to a
maximum torque of 15lbf · in (1.7N · m).

2. Fit the top of the adaptor onto the top of the DIN rail

b.

3. Push the bottom of the adaptor in and down onto the rail until the

latch clicks into position

c. Pulling the latch down may make this

easier.

Removal 1. Insert a flat-bladed screwdriver into the latch d. Push the

screwdriver down to hold the latch open.

2. Pull the bottom of the adaptor away from the rail first

e, then lift the

TD9300 off the rail

DRAFT 3

32 TD9300 Installation Manual

© Tait Limited March 2015

solely in connection with Licensee's use of the
Designated Products for the useful life of the
Designated Products. This Agreement does not
grant any rights to source code.

3.2. If the Software licensed under this Agree­ment contains or is derived from Open Source
Software, the terms and conditions governing the
use of such Open Source Software are in the
Open Source Software Licenses of the copyright

the terms and conditions of the Open Source
Software Licenses will take precedence. For
information about Open Source Components
contained in Tait products and the related Open
Source licenses, see:
http://support.taitradio.com/go/opensource

Section 4 LIMITATIONS ON USE

4.1. Licensee may use the Software only for
Licensee's internal business purposes and only in
accordance with the Documentation. Any other
use of the Software is strictly prohibited. Without
limiting the general nature of these restrictions,
Licensee will not make the Software available
for use by third parties on a "time sharing,"
"application service provider," "service bureau"
basis, or for any other similar commercial rental
or sharing arrangement.

4.2. Licensee will not, and will not directly or
indirectly allow or enable any third party to: (i)
reverse engineer, disassemble, extract compo­nents, decompile, reprogram, or otherwise
reduce the Software or any portion thereof to a
human perceptible form or otherwise attempt to
recreate the source code; (ii) modify, adapt, cre­ate derivative works of, or merge the Software;
(iii) copy, reproduce, distribute, lend, or lease the
Software or Documentation to any third party;
(iv) grant any sublicense or other rights in the
Software or Documentation to any third party;
(v) take any action that would cause the Software
or Documentation to be placed in the public
domain; (vi) remove, or in any way alter or
obscure any copyright notice or other notice of
Tait or third-party licensor’s proprietary rights;
(vii) provide, copy, transmit, disclose, divulge or
make the Software or Documentation available
to, or permit the use of the Software by, any third
party or on any machine except as expressly
authorized by this Agreement; or (viii) use, or
permit the use of, the Software in a manner that
would result in the production of a copy of the
Software by any means whatsoever other than
what is permitted in this Agreement. Licensee
may make one copy of the Software to be used
solely for archival, back-up, or disaster recovery
purposes; provided that Licensee may not oper­ate that copy of the Software at the same time as
the original Software is being operated. Licensee
may make as many copies of the Documentation
as it may reasonably require for the internal use
of the Software.

4.3. Unless otherwise authorized by Tait in writ­ing, Licensee will not, and will not enable or
allow any third party to: (i) install a copy of the

Software on more than one unit of a Designated
Product; or (ii) copy or transfer Software
installed on one unit of a Designated Product to
any other device. Licensee may temporarily
transfer Software installed on a Designated Prod­uct to another device if the Designated Product is
inoperable or malfunctioning. Temporary trans­fer of the Software to another device must be dis­continued when the original Designated Product
is returned to operation and the Software must be
removed from the other device.

4.4. Licensee will maintain, during the term of
this Agreement and for a period of two years
thereafter, accurate records relating to this
license grant to verify compliance with this
Agreement. Tait, or a third party nominated by
Tait, may inspect Licensee’s premises, books and
records, upon reasonable prior notice to
Licensee, during Licensee’s normal business
hours and subject to Licensee's facility and secu­rity regulations. Tait is responsible for the pay­ment of all expenses and costs of the inspection,
provided that Licensee shall indemnify Tait for
all costs (including audit costs and legal costs on
a solicitor client basis) if Licensee has breached
the terms of this Agreement. Any information
obtained by Tait during the course of the inspec­tion will be kept in strict confidence by Tait and
used solely for the purpose of verifying
Licensee's compliance with the terms of this
Agreement.

Section 5 OWNERSHIP AND TITLE

Tait, its licensors, and its suppliers retain all of
their Intellectual Property Rights in and to the
Software and Documentation, in any form. No
rights are granted to Licensee under this Agree­ment by implication, estoppel or otherwise,
except for those rights which are expressly
granted to Licensee in this Agreement. All Intel­lectual Property developed, originated, or pre­pared by Tait in connection with providing the
Software, Designated Products, Documentation,
or related services, remains vested exclusively in
Tait, and Licensee will not have any shared
development or other Intellectual Property
Rights.

Section 6 LIMITED WARRANTY;
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

6.1. The commencement date and the term of the
Software warranty will be a period of one (1)
year from Tait shipment of the Software. If
Licensee is not in breach of any obligations under
this Agreement, Tait warrants that the unmodi­fied Software, when used properly and in accor­dance with the Documentation and this Agree­ment, will be free from a reproducible defect that
eliminates the functionality or successful opera­tion of a feature critical to the primary function­ality or successful operation of the Software.
Whether a defect has occurred will be deter­mined solely by Tait. Tait does not warrant that
Licensee’s use of the Software or the Designated
Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, com­pletely free of Security Vulnerabilities, or that the
Software or the Designated Products will meet
Licensee’s particular requirements. Tait makes

DRAFT 3

TD9300 Installation Manual 33
© Tait Limited March 2015

no representations or warranties with respect to
any third-party software included in the Soft­ware.

6.2 Tait sole obligation to Licensee, and
Licensee’s exclusive remedy under this warranty,
is to use reasonable efforts to remedy any mate­rial Software defect covered by this warranty.
These efforts will involve either replacing the
media or attempting to correct significant,
demonstrable program or documentation errors
or Security Vulnerabilities. If Tait cannot correct
the defect within a reasonable time, then at Tait
option, Tait will replace the defective Software
with functionally equivalent Software, license to
Licensee substitute Software which will accom­plish the same objective, or terminate the license
and refund Licensee’s paid license fee. If Tait
investigation of the perceived defect reveals that
no such defect in fact exists, Tait may recover its
costs in respect of such investigation from
Licensee.

6.3. Tait disclaims any and all other warranties
relating to the Software or Documentation other
than the express warranties set forth in this Sec­tion 6. Warranties in Section 6 are in lieu of all
other warranties whether express or implied, oral
or written, and including without limitation any
and all implied warranties of condition, title,
non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for
a particular purpose or use by Licensee (whether
Tait knows, has reason to know, has been advised
of, or is otherwise aware of any such purpose or
use), whether arising by law, by reason of custom
or usage of trade, or by course of dealing. In addi­tion, Tait disclaims any warranty to any person
other than Licensee with respect to the Software
or Documentation.

Section 7 TRANSFERS

7.1. Licensee will not transfer the Software or
Documentation to any third party without spe­cific prior written consent from Tait. Tait may
withhold such consent or at its own discretion
make the consent conditional upon the transferee
paying applicable license fees and agreeing to be
bound by this Agreement.

7.2. In the case of a value-added reseller or dis­tributor of Tait Designated Products, the consent
referred to in Section 7.1 may be contained in a
Tait Reseller or Tait Distributor Agreement.

7.3. If the Designated Products are Tait vehicle­mounted mobile products or hand-carried porta­ble radio products and Licensee transfers owner­ship of the Tait mobile or portable radio products
to a third party, Licensee may assign its right to
use the Software which is embedded in or fur­nished for use with the radio products and the
related Documentation; provided that Licensee
transfers all copies of the Software and Docu­mentation to the transferee.

7.4. For the avoidance of any doubt, Section 7.3
excludes TaitNet Infrastructure, or the products
listed at any time under network products at:

http://www.taitradio.com.

7.5. If Licensee, as a contractor or subcontractor
(integrator), is purchasing Tait Designated Prod­ucts and licensing Software not for its own inter­nal use but for end use only by a Customer, the

Licensee may transfer such Software, but only if
a) Licensee transfers all copies of such Software
and the related Documentation to the transferee
and b) Licensee has first obtained from its Cus­tomer (and, if Licensee is acting as a subcontrac­tor, from the interim transferee(s) and from the
ultimate end user sub license) an enforceable
sublicense agreement that prohibits any other
transfer and that contains restrictions substan­tially identical to the terms set forth in this Soft­ware License Agreement. Except as stated in the
foregoing, Licensee and any transferee(s) autho­rised by this Section may not otherwise transfer
or make available any Tait Software to any third
party nor permit any party to do so. Licensee
will, on request, make available evidence reason­ably satisfactory to Tait demonstrating compli­ance with all the foregoing.

Section 8 TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1. Licensee’s right to use the Software and
Documentation will commence when the Desig­nated Products are supplied by Tait to Licensee
and will continue for the life of the Designated
Products with which or for which the Software
and Documentation are supplied, unless
Licensee breaches this Agreement, in which case
this Agreement and Licensee's right to use the
Software and Documentation may be terminated
immediately upon notice by Tait.

8.2. Within thirty (30) days after termination of
this Agreement, Licensee must certify in writing
to Tait that all copies of the Software have been
removed or deleted from the Designated Prod­ucts and that all copies of the Software and Doc­umentation have been returned to Tait or
destroyed by Licensee and are no longer in use
by Licensee.

8.3. Licensee acknowledges that Tait made a
considerable investment of resources in the
development, marketing, and distribution of the
Software and Documentation and that Licensee's
breach of this Agreement will result in irrepara­ble harm to Tait for which monetary damages
would be inadequate. If Licensee breaches this
Agreement, Tait may terminate this Agreement
and be entitled to all available remedies at law or
in equity including immediate injunctive relief
and repossession of all non-embedded Software
and associated Documentation. Licensee shall
pay all Tait costs (on an indemnity basis) for the
enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9 CONFIDENTIALITY

Licensee acknowledges that the Software and
Documentation contain proprietary and Confi­dential Information valuable to Tait and are Tait
trade secrets, and Licensee agrees to respect the
confidentiality of the information contained in
the Software and Documentation.

Section 10 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

10.1. In no circumstances shall Tait be under any
liability to Licensee, or any other person whatso­ever, whether in Tort (including negligence),
Contract (except as expressly provided in this
Agreement), Equity, under any Statute, or other­wise at law for any losses or damages whether
general, special, exemplary, punitive, direct,

DRAFT 3

34 TD9300 Installation Manual

© Tait Limited March 2015

indirect, or consequential arising out of or in con­nection with any use or inability of using the
Software.

10.2. Licensee’s sole remedy against Tait will be
limited to breach of contract and Tait sole and
total liability for any such claim shall be limited
at the option of Tait to the repair or replacement
of the Software or the refund of the purchase
price of the Software.

Section 11 GENERAL

11.1. COPYRIGHT NOTICES. The existence of
a copyright notice on the Software will not be
construed as an admission or presumption of
publication of the Software or public disclosure
of any trade secrets associated with the Software.

11.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Licensee
acknowledges that the Software may be subject
to the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction
covering the supply of the Designated Products
and will comply with all applicable laws and reg­ulations, including export laws and regulations,
of that country.

11.3. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACT­ING. Tait may assign its rights or subcontract its
obligations under this Agreement, or encumber
or sell its rights in any Software, without prior
notice to, or consent of, Licensee.

11.4. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall
be subject to and construed in accordance with
New Zealand law and disputes between the par­ties concerning the provisions hereof shall be
determined by the New Zealand Courts of Law.
Provided however Tait may at its election bring
proceedings for breach of the terms hereof or for
the enforcement of any judgment in relation to a
breach of the terms hereof in any jurisdiction Tait
considers fit for the purpose of ensuring compli­ance with the terms hereof or obtaining relief for
breach of the terms hereof.

11.5. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This
Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit
of Tait and Licensee. No third party has the right
to make any claim or assert any right under this
Agreement, and no third party is deemed a bene­ficiary of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any licensor or supplier of third-party
software included in the Software will be a direct
and intended third-party beneficiary of this
Agreement.

11.6. SURVIVAL. Sections 4, 5, 6.3, 7, 8, 9, 10,
and 11 survive the termination of this Agree­ment.

11.7. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. In the event
of inconsistencies between this Agreement and
any other Agreement between the parties, the
parties agree that, with respect to the specific
subject matter of this Agreement, this Agreement
prevails.

11.8. SECURITY. Tait uses reasonable means in
the design and writing of its own Software and
the acquisition of third-party Software in order to
limit Security Vulnerabilities. While no software
can be guaranteed to be free from Security Vul­nerabilities, if a Security Vulnerability is discov­ered, Tait will take the steps specified in Section
6 of this Agreement.

11.9. EXPORT. Licensee will not transfer,

directly or indirectly, any Designated Product,
Documentation or Software furnished hereunder
or the direct product of such Documentation or
Software to any country for which New Zealand
or any other applicable country requires an
export license or other governmental approval
without first obtaining such license or approval.

11.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any
part or parts of this Agreement shall be held ille­gal or null and void by any court or administra­tive body of competent jurisdiction, such deter­mination shall not affect the remaining terms
which shall remain in full force and effect as if
such part or parts held to be illegal or void had
not been included in this Agreement. Tait may
replace the invalid or unenforceable provision
with a valid and enforceable provision that
achieves the original intent and economic effect
of this Agreement.

11.11. CONSUMER GUARANTEES. Licensee
acknowledges that the licenses supplied in terms
of this agreement are supplied to Licensee in
business, and that the guarantees and other provi­sions of prevailing consumer protection legisla­tion shall not apply.

11.12. WHOLE AGREEMENT. Licensee
acknowledges that it has read this Agreement,
understands it and agrees to be bound by its terms
and conditions. Licensee also agrees that, subject
only to the express terms of any other agreement
between Tait and Licensee to the contrary, this is
the complete and exclusive statement of the
Agreement between it and Tait in relation to the
Software. This Agreement supersedes any pro­posal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any
other communications between Licensee and
Tait relating to the Software and the Designated
Products.
