Preface
Scope of Manual
This manual describes the TD9300 data terminal. The manual is intended
for use by experienced technicians familiar with installing and operating
radio network equipment. It includes information on installing, configuring
and operating the TD9300 in a TN9300 DMR trunked network.
Document Conventions
The TD9300 data terminal has a web interface with an accordion menu on
the left side of the screen. As an example, “Monitor > Dashboard” means
click Monitor in the top-level menu, then click Dashboard in the expanded
Monitor menu tree to display its page.
Within this manual, four types of alerts may be given to the reader. The
following paragraphs illustrate each type of alert and its associated symbol.
Warning This alert is used when there is a hazardous situation
which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
Caution This alert is used when there is a hazardous situation which,
if not avoided, could result in minor or moderate injury.
Notice This alert is used to highlight information that is required to
ensure procedures are performed correctly. Incorrectly performed pro-
cedures could result in equipment damage or malfunction.
This icon is used to draw your attention to information that may
improve your understanding of the equipment or procedure.

Safety and Regulatory Information
Personal Safety
Explosive Environments
Warning Do not operate the equipment near electrical blasting
caps or in an explosive atmosphere. Operating the equipment in
these environments is a definite safety hazard.
Proximity to RF Transmissions
To comply with the RF Field Limits for Devices Used by the General
Public for (Uncontrolled Environment)a, a safe separation distance of at
least 3.3 feet (1 metre) from the antenna system should be maintained.
This figure is calculated for a typical installation, employing one 25W
transmitter. Other configurations, including installations at
multi-transmitter sites, must be installed so that they comply with the
relevant RF exposure standards.
a. Reference Standards
Health Canada’s Safety Code 6: Limits of Human Exposure to
Radiofrequency Electromagnetic Energy in the Frequency Range from
3kHz to 300GHz
USA Federal Communications Commission OET bulletin 65

High Surface Temperatures
Caution Hot Surface
The surfaces of the terminal can become hot during
prolonged operation. Do not touch these parts of the terminal.
LED Safety (EN60825-1)
This equipment contains Class 1 LED Products.
Isolation (EN 60255-5)
Models with isolated ports are tested in accordance with EN 60255-5 to a
level of 2.5kVDC (DC port) and 2kVAC (signal ports).
Caution The RF connector is not isolated. On models where only the
signal ports are isolated, the DC port isolation must be achieved with the
use of an appropriately rated external power supply.
Equipment Safety
Installation and Servicing Personnel
The equipment should be installed and serviced only by qualified
personnel.
Antenna Load
Transmitting into a low VSWR will maximize the power delivered to the
antenna.
Notice Do not disconnect the antenna from the TD9300 while it is
transmitting.
Load transients (switching or removing the load) can damage the
transmitter.

10 Safety and Regulatory Information TD9300 Installation and Configuration Manual

Anti-tampering Devices
All network elements should be physically secured where possible. This
includes the use of locked cabinets and the use of seals on connectors.
All network and audio connectors should be sealed with a stick-on type of
seal to detect unauthorized tampering. The seal should reveal if any of the
connectors have been unplugged or if any unauthorized equipment has
been plugged in.
Seals must be difficult to remove without breaking, and must bridge
between the cable and equipment side (plug and socket) of the connection.
Seals must cover any unused network or audio sockets. This includes the
Ethernet connector, any spare switch ports, and the console port on the
router and switch.
Seals must be difficult to reproduce. A sticker initialed or signed by the
technician should satisfy this.
Seals must be replaced if they need to be disturbed during maintenance.
ESD Precautions
Notice This equipment contains devices which are susceptible to
damage from static charges. You must handle these devices carefully
and according to the procedures described in the manufacturers’ data
books.
We recommend you purchase an antistatic bench kit from a reputable
manufacturer and install and test it according to the manufacturer’s
instructions. Figure 2.1 shows a typical antistatic bench set-up.
You can obtain further information on antistatic precautions and the
dangers of electrostatic discharge (ESD) from standards such as ANSI/
ESD S20.20-1999 or BS EN 100015-4 1994.

Grounding and Lightning Protection
Electrical Ground A threaded grounding connector is provided on the front panel for
connection to the site ground point (refer to page 20 for more details).
Lightning Ground It is extremely important for the security of the site and its equipment that
you take adequate precautions against lightning strike. While it is outside
the scope of this manual to provide comprehensive information on this
subject, we recommend that you conform to your country’s standards
organization or regulatory body.

1Introduction
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 3 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-4851and Ethernet interfaces to allow interconnection to
outstation devices such as RTUs and IEDs.
1. RS-485 only available on T04-00002-xCxx (non-isolated) model.

1.1 TD9300 Models
The TD9300 is available in the following models:
With all models, the RF port is not isolated.
Each model can be identified by its DC input connector label. Both isolated
models have a symbol. The non-isolated and isolated v1 models have
a black powder-coated finish. The initial run of V2 isolated had a grey
finish, but all production now has a black powder-coated finish.
The DC input of the T04-00002-xAxx (isolated v1) is electrically isolated
by means of an external DC/DC converter.

RTU green off The TD9300 is not receiving data
From TD9300 v1.08 onwards the RTU LED
behaviour for a serial connected RTU is now:
1. Off when the connection is unknown or
disabled.
2. Solid on when the connection is up.
3. Flashing every two seconds when the
connection is down.
4. Flashing every 500 milliseconds during data
transfer.
flashing (100ms) The TD9300 is receiving a message
(for transmission over Tait GridLink).
This will occur for proxy SCADA connections over
serial or Ethernet, or for any IP packets transmitted
by an externally connected RTU or other device. No
flash will occur for outgoing transmissions to an
RTU.
This LED will also flash if any other IP activity occurs
that originates on the TD9300 itself (i.e. ping/SCP/
SSH over Tait GridLink).
