1 Safety and Regulatory Information
1.1 Personal Safety
1.1.1 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.
1.1.2 Proximity to RF Transmissions / A proximité des émissions RF
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
(47CFR 1.1310)
IEEE C95.1 2005: Standard for Safety Levels with Respect to Human
Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3kHz to
300GHz
Pour respecter les limites imposées au champ RF au niveau des
équipements utilisés par le grand public (environnement non contrôlé)a,
une distance de séparation de sécurité d’au moins 1 mètre du bloc
d’antenne devrait être observée.
Ce nombre est calculé pour une installation typique, ayant un émetteur de
25W. D’autres configurations, incluant les installations ayant des sites de
plusieurs émetteurs, doivent être installées de façon à se conformer aux
normes pertinentes des expositions RF.

1.2 Equipment Safety
1.2.1 Installation and Servicing Personnel
The equipment should be installed and serviced only by qualified
personnel.
1.2.2 Antenna Load
Transmitting into a low VSWR will maximize the power delivered to the
antenna.
Notice Do not remove the load from the TD9300 while it is transmit-
ting.
Load transients (switching or removing the load) can damage the
transmitter.
1.2.3 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 the stick-on type
of seal. The purpose of the seals is 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.
The 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.
The 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.

1.2.4 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 1.1 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.

TD9300 Installation Manual Introduction 13
© Tait Limited March 2015
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 (2.5N·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 f.
