The Tait Product Code Scheme

The digits in the Tait Orca 5000 product code

functional parameters and various hardware 
options, according to the scheme outlined in 
Figure A-1. While Tait Orca products are 
designed for flexibility of application, not all 
Product Codes are available and hold regulato-
ry compliance in your market. For more infor-
mation on the products, contact your nearest 
Tait dealer.
