Number of Inversion Codes GENERAL INFORMATION Midian’s VPU-12A voice inversion scrambler provides an entry level of voice security for two-way radio communications. The VPU-12A provides up to 16 different inversion frequencies that are selectable using 4-line binary. These inversion frequencies are programmable using Midian’s KL-3. The VPU-12A is compatible with...
PRODUCT PROGRAMMING The VPU-12A comes preprogrammed with default inversion frequencies (see Table 1 below). By configuring the 4-line binary outputs, the desired inversion frequency can be selected. Other default features are a Power-Up State of Clear, a Mode Select of Momentary and a Mode Polarity of Active Low. If different parameters are needed, the KL-4 programming interface and MPS programming software will be needed.

Switch Mode: Select whether the switch being used for mode selection is a momentary or latched switch. Power Up State: Select the mode you wish the scrambler to go into upon power up. Clr/Scr Polarity: If +/- is selected then the clear mode will be a positive polarity and scramble mode will be a negative polarity.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION Be certain to follow standard anti-static procedures when handling any of Midian’s products. P1-4 – Black – Ground – Connect to the nearest ground point. P1-2 – Red - +3.7 – 15 VDC – Connect to switched B+ in the radio.
HARDWARE ALIGNMENT The VPU-12A is a unity gain device. If for some reason more or less gain is needed adjust R-2, R-12, R-18 or R- 19 as needed. For the TX Input, Midian recommends having 1 V p-p at Pin 1 of IC-5. Adjusting R-2 will adjust the level at Pin 1 of IC-5.
Mode Selection: The mode of the VPU-12A can be controlled by a momentary or latched switch. Latched Switch: Programming the VPU-12A to latched with a Mode Polarity of +/- will cause the scrambler to be in clear mode when high and scramble mode when taken to ground. A Mode Polarity of -/+ will cause the scrambler to be in clear mode when taken to ground and scramble mode when high.
If installed after pre-emphasis and before de-emphasis, the recovered audio may be noisier due to the amplification of the noise. If installed before pre-emphasis and before de-emphasis, recovered audio will be de-emphasized (bassy). If installed after pre-emphasis and after de-emphasis, recovered audio is pre-emphasized (tinny). MIDIAN CONTACT INFORMATION MIDIAN ELECTRONICS, INC. 2302 East 22 Street...
