Servicing Tait Orca 5000 handportables A - 3
Servicing Tait Orca 5000 handportables
The Tait Orca 5000 series of handportables is a
range of high performance, microprocessor-
controlled radios manufactured using an RF-
shielded PCB and high-density SMD compo-
nentry.
The manufacturing process does not allow
direct servicing access to components on the
main PCB, although replacement PCBs are
available on an exchange basis. Service repairs
of Tait Orca 5000 handportables are therefore
limited to key mechanical and ancillary devices
associated with the main PCB. These include:
■
the front panel assembly;
■
the lens (Orca 5020, Orca 5035 and Orca
5040);
■
the PTT keypad;
■
the speaker;
■
the keypad;
■
the LCD display (Orca 5020, Orca 5035
and Orca 5040);
■
the shield, complete with user interface
PCB assembly and polyester dome (Orca
5020, Orca 5035 and Orca 5040);
■
the main PCB assembly;
■
the antenna connector;
■
the channel selector switch;
■
the volume control switch;
■
the microphone;
■
the speaker contacts;
■
the battery contacts;
■
the PTT tact switch;
■
the RF out assembly; and
■
the auxiliary flexible PCB.
The repair of PCB-related faults is the respon-
sibility of the Customer Services Division of
Tait Electronics Ltd. Detailed schematics and
component location information for the main
PCB may also be obtained from the Customer
Services Division. Contact your Tait dealer for
more information.
