This manual forms a part of the Tait Encrypted Radio Programming and Service Kit. The kit provides service centres and large users of Tait Encrypted radios with all cables and information required to set up, manage and maintain a fleet of encrypted Tait Orca Portable (TOP) radios and/ or T2000 Mobile radios.
For other encryption modules, check with a Tait Service Centre, or www.taitworld.com/. Modules listed can be fitted to either TOP or T2000 radios, with the exception of the Midian TVS-2 modules (see above). However, the modules will require some customisation to suit the radio type.

This manual describes how to connect your hardware for setup, testing and maintenance, but does not describe how to determine the settings you should use. These should be determined during system design by technical personnel trained in the relevant Tait and third-party products. Contact your Authorised Tait Service Centre for further assistance.
The system designer should confirm that the system meets user requirements. Tait Encryption Interface Signal Specifications For TOP Encryption Interface Signals, see page 15. For T2000 Encryption interface signals, see page 48. Encrypted Radio Programming and Service Manual...
Tait Orca Portable (TOP) Encryption Tait Orca Portable (TOP) Encryption Tait Orca Portable (TOP) radios can be encryption-enabled at a Tait Authorised Service Centre using the TOP Encryption Upgrade Kit (IPN TOPA-EA-001) and a supported Transcrypt or Midian Encryption Module. This kit comprises a flex circuit which brings all the required connections for encryption to a single connector for plug-in encryption functionality.

Transcrypt Programming Transcrypt Programming Transcrypt encryption modules can be programmed via Over-The-Air-Reprogramming (OTAR) or Direct Programming (TOP radios only). OTAR Programming The Transcrypt OTAR Programmer allows a computer to alter a radio’s encryption module settings remotely, anywhere within the coverage range of the radio system.
Using a TOP as an OTAR Programming Transmitter A standard TOP radio - with no Encryption module fitted - on the correct frequency is all that is required for an OTAR programming transmitter radio. The TOP programming cable (IPN 219-...
M2259-00-200-812 Transcrypt Programming 02841-0X) connects the OTAR Programmer to the TOP programming radio through the Accessory connector that has all signals required as standard. For more information, see the TOP Programming Cable Specifications on page 74. Note: Ensure the accessory connector is firmly latched, otherwise it may not make connection to all the required signals.

Midian Programming Midian Programming To program Midian Encryption Modules fitted to either a T2000 or a TOP radio usually requires a hard-wired connection from the Midian programmer to the module. This requires opening the radio and connecting the dedicated programming cable (provided with the Midian programmer) to pads on the Tait flex circuit.
