Screw Types
The TM8000 and TOP radios documented in this man ual ma y h a v e any o f the following scr ew types used. For full disassembly instructions, see the relevant service information.
Torx Recess Head Screws
Torx recess head screws are the standard type of screw used in Tait equipment, although Pozidriv and Allen recess head scr ews are also used in a few special applications.
The diagram below shows a typical Torx recess head screw (actual hardwar e may differ slightly from this illustration due to var iations in manufacturing techniques).
Pozidriv Recess Head Screws
Pozidriv recess head screws are used in Tait equipment in a few special applications. It is impor tant that you use the correct type and size screwdriver to avoid damaging the screw head.
It is particularly important that you do not use Philips screwdrivers on Pozidriv scre w heads as the ta pered driving flutes of the Ph ilips scr ew drive r do not engage correctly with the parallel-sided slots in the Pozidriv screw head. This can result in considerable damage to the screw head if the screwdriver tip turns inside the recess.
Note If you find you need excessive downwards pressure to keep the
screwdriv er tip in the P o zidriv screw head, y ou are pr obab ly using the wrong type or size screwdriver.

Components
Replacing components
Ensure that any replacement components are of the same type and specifications as the originals. This will prevent the performance and safety of the encrypted radios from being degraded.
Surface Mount Devices
Important Surface mount devices (SMDs) require speci al storage, han-
dling, removal and replacement techniques. This equip­ment should be serviced only by an appr o ved Tait Dealer or Customer Service Organisation equipped with the neces­sary facilities. Repairs attempted with incorrect equipment or by untrained personnel ma y result in permanent damage. If in doubt, contact your nearest Tait Dealer or Customer Service O r g a ni s a t i on .
Leaded Components
Whenever you are w orking on a PCB and removing or fitting components, you must take care not to damage any copper tracks or pads. The two satisfactory methods of removing components from plated-through hole (PTH) PCBs are detailed below.
Desoldering Iron Method
This method requires the use of a desoldering station.
1. Place the tip over the lead and, as the solder starts to melt, move the tip in a circular motion.
2. Start the suction and continue the movement until three or four circles have been completed.
3. Remove the tip while continuing suction to ensure that all solder is removed from the joint, then stop the suction.
4. Before pulling the lead out, ensure it is not stuck to the platin g.
5. If the lead is still not free, resolder the joint and try again.
Note The desoldering iron does not usually have enough heat to desol-
der leads from the gr ound pla ne. Additional heat may be app lied by holding a soldering iron on the tip of the desoldering iron (this may require some additional help).
Component Cutting Method
1. Cut the leads on the component side of the PCB.
2. Heat the solder joint sufficiently to allow easy removal of the lead by drawing it ou t from the component side: do not use undue force.
3. Fill the hole with solder and then clear with solderwick.
Midian Encryption Programming and Service Manual Safety and Serv icing Information 11 June 2006 © Tait Electronics Limited
Cased Mica Capacitors
Cased mica capacitors can be remo v ed by heating t he top with a hea vy-duty soldering iron and gently lifting the capacitor off the PCB with a solder-resistant spike or equivalent. Make sure that the solder at the tab solder joint is melted or removed before attempting to lift the capacitor.
Encryption Modules
Important The encryption module can control the radio PTT, and
while programming, may cause the radio to transmit. Always provide protection for test equipment (such as RF signal generators) so the y cannot be damaged b y transmitter power.
Important Each encryption module is provided with a sheet for
recording programmable settings. As Midan TVS-2 encryption codes, and all VPU12 module settings cannot be read back, it is strongly recommended that all settings be recorded for each fitted module and kept in a secure pl ace.

Midian Encryption Programming and Service Manual System Operation 13 June 2006 © Tait Electronics Limited
1 System Operation
Encrypted radios provide increased privacy for conversations by jumbling speech so that only radios with the right hardware and settings can reconstruct it. The diagram below shows a typical radio system comprising portable radios, mobile radios, base stations or repeaters.
Whether or not a radio transmission is encrypted is the u ser’s choice. When the encryption mode is selected, the radio sends and receiv es encrypted calls to and from other radios with compatible encryption module and settings. However, even when encryption is not selected, an encryption-enabled radio will always decode encrypted communication from any radio with compatible modules and settings.
Note When modules or settings are incompatible, communication is
reduced to unintelligible noise.

2.1 Encryption Module Compatibility
At the time of printing, the following Midian encryption modules are compatible with encryption-enabled TM8000 and TO P radios.
■ Midian TVS2-Tait
■ Midian VPU12-Tait
For other Midian encryption modules, check with a Tait Service Centre, or www.taitworld.com/.
Important Either module can be fitted to TOP or TM8000 radios
without modification. Ho wever, module snap-off sections must not be removed when fitting a module into a TM8000 radio, as these snap-offs include scre w holes necessary to fit the module. The snap-offs are r emoved for TOP applica­tions.
2.2 Radio Hardware Compatibility
TOP Radios
The TOP Encryption Upgrade Flex PCB described in this manual is suitable for use in most TOP 5000 radio s (5010, 5020, 5035, 5040). The flex can be retrofit ted to most radio models, but this should first be verified by providing the serial numbers to a Tait Service Centre for confirmation.
TM8000 Radios
At the time of printing, the TM8000 Encryption Options PCB described in this manual is compatible with any TM8000 radio. However, the TM8000 firmware must be upgraded to support the TA2434-0X Encryption Options Board. For the current version, consult your Tait dealer.
June 2006 © Tait Electronics Limited
2.3 Radio Firmware and Software Compatibility
TOP Radios
Encrypted TOP radios require specific encryption-capable radio firmware and programming softw are . This is fitt ed during manufacture of encryptable radios, but will need to be pr ogrammed separately where an encyption upgrade kit is used. Contact the Tait Strategic Sales Team for confirmation of encryption firmware support.
TM8000 Radios
Encrypted TM8000 radios require a firmware change to support encryption function. This is normally fitted during manufacture. Standard TM8000 programming softw are supports encryption functions in TM8100 applications. A custom version of programming software is required for TM8200 applications. Some specific I/O settings are r e quired to support encryption in all TM8000 radios. For more information, see “Programming the TM8000 radio” on page 52 of this manual.
2.4 Encryption Module Programming
Important When programming a Midian module, it is strongly r ec-
ommended that you use the manufacturer’s default secu-
rity codes. See the Midian programming manual for more information on standard codes, and instructions for chang­ing them if necessary.
■ TOP and TM8000 radios fitted with Midian TVS2-Tait Encryption
Modules can be programmed without opening the radio, using 219­02931-0X Direct Programming Cable (TOP) or 219-03026-0X (TM8000). Instructions for TVS2-Tait Module Dir ect Pro gramming are
on page 19.
■ TOP and TM8000 radios fitted with Midian VPU-12 modules are
factory-programmed with the correct settings, and Tait recommend that these be used. However, encryption codes can be changed, using the Midian-supplied clip-lead cables fitted directly to the module. See the KL3 Programmer documentation for instructions.
Specific information on module parameter settings and values is a v ailable in the Programmer and Module service manuals. However, some useful module settings information is included in this manual on page 20.
Note Some link settings and functions on the mo dules may be for futur e
use, or r equir e special set up or additi onal componen ts to operate. If a function is not documented, please ask for assistance before using it.

VPU-12 Programming
To program Midian VPU-12 Encryption Modules in either a TM8000 or a TOP radio usually requires a hard-wired connection from the Midian programmer to the module . This requires openi ng the radio and connecting the dedicated pro gramming cable (provided with the Midian programmer) to pads on the Tait flex or board.
Important Each encryption module is provided with a sheet for
recording programmable settings. As Midan VPU12 mod­ule settings and TVS-2 encryption codes cannot be read back, it is strongly recommended that all settings be recorded for each fitted module and kept in a secure place.
2.5 Encryption Module Settings
Refer to the programmer manual for PC settings, software commands and register values.
Before programming the Midian encryption module, it is important to understand the meaning of various identifiers in the programmer manual. Some of these are outlined in the table below:
