PRODUCT PROGRAMMING

Midian’s TVS-2-KW1 and VPU-15-KW1 is programmed using the KL-4. Please reference the KL-4 manual for setup instructions of the KL-4 hardware.

KL4-F USB PORT ASSIGNMENT and SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

Go to our website midians.com and under downloads> software download the latest MPS software version. If using the supplied CD-ROM insert it into the PC’s CD-ROM drive. In the browser that will pop-up, install the MPS programming software. Be certain that the “Install KL-4 USB Driver” box is checked during the installation process.

Open Windows’ Control Panel and go to Device Manager.

Open Ports (COM& LPT) to identify the port assignment issued by computer. Plug in the KL4 programmer to the USB port and the screen will flash and show the device location.

Open the software and choose product from product tree then set appropriate comport selection in the MPS software as needed.

Set the parameters of the scrambler software to fit the application. If any clarifications on a feature are required, move the mouse cursor over the feature name until the question mark appears and right click, a definition of the feature will be shown. After the latest MPS has been installed default programming files for specific radio models can be found at: C:\Apps\Midian\MPS\MPS_vX_xx\Additional Default Files\ TVS2_VPU15\Kenwood

After entering the parameters, save the file by going to File - Save As. Enter the file name in the File Name block and click Save. Saving the file will allow for quick and easy reprogramming of units.

KL-4 Programming: Plug the board onto the KL-4’s KW1 connector. Push and hold the power button on the KL-4 and click “Program Unit” in the MPS software. The ACK LED on the KL-4 will flash if programmed successfully.

KL-4 Reading: Plug the board onto the KL-4’s KW1 connector. Push and hold the power button on the KL-4 and click “Read Unit” in the MPS software.

Important Note: Do not attempt to ‘clone’ the scrambler by reading one and then programming another. When the scrambler is read, the security codes will be read out as zeroes. If another scrambler is then cloned with this information, the scramblers will be incompatible because they have different security codes. To ensure scramblers communicate with each other, program them from a saved file.

HARDWARE INSTALLATION

Be certain to follow standard anti-static procedures when handling any of Midian’s products. When ordering the scrambler, the radio must be specified as audio levels vary between radio models.

TK-2180 & TK-3180:

1. Remove the battery from the radio, exposing the options door. Remove the options door and this will exposethe options connector.

2. Before plugging the unit in, remove R-659 to open the radio’s TX path and R-670 to open the radio’s RX path.

3. Plug the module into the options connector.

4. Reinstall the options door and battery.

Note: COR is recommended to mute the initial sync packet and for auto descramble. If COR is desired it will be necessary to install a wire from the scrambler into the radio. This wire should be installed on the scrambler at the

4

TK-5210: 1. Due to firmware compatibility issues between the radio and the scrambler the following wires and

modifications must be added depending on the features needed: Optional: COR: Solder a wire from the hole marked COR_WIRED* on the scrambler to R583 in the radio. This mutes the initial ANI and synchronization packet so the radio user does not hear them through the speaker. Optional: Emergency ANI: Solder a wire to the EMERG_IN* pad and connect this wire to the ungrounded side of S-902 (orange button switch). Optional: PTT Output: This allows the scrambler to key the radio to output ENI and query requests.R37* on the TVS-2 must be removed and a wire added to the junction of pin 10 of IC1* and R37. Connect this wire to pin 5 of CN38 or R175 in the radio.

2. Remove the battery from the radio, exposing the options door. Remove the options door and this will expose

the options connector.

3. There maybe a dummy board installed in the options connector, if so remove it and plug the TVS-2 into the options connector CN-501.

4. Reinstall the options door and battery. Note: COR is recommended to mute the initial sync packet and for auto descramble.

*Please reference the pictorial at the end this manual for location of R37 and IC1.*

TK-5710: 5. Due to firmware compatibility issues between the radio and the scrambler the following wires and

modifications must be added depending on the features needed: Optional: COR: Solder a wire from the hole marked COR_WIRED* on the scrambler to pin 22 of CN-459. This mutes the initial ANI and synchronization packet so the radio user does not hear them through the speaker. Optional: Emergency ANI: Solder a wire to the EMERG_IN* pad and connect this wire to pin 18 of CN-459. Optional: PTT Output: This allows the scrambler to key the radio to output ENI and query requests.R37* on the TVS-2 must be removed and a wire added to the junction of pin 10 of IC1* and R37. Connect this wire to pin 20 of CN-459 in the radio.

6. Plug the module into the options connector (CN-444).

*Please reference the pictorial at the end this manual for location of R37 and IC1.*

Note: COR is recommended to mute the initial sync packet and for auto descramble.TK-7180 & TK-8180: 1. Remove the cover and lid from the radio. 2. It is first necessary to isolate pin 5 of CN-403 (radio options connector). Depending on the radio model there

might be a 0 Ohm resistor off this pin next to R-483 that can be removed or cutting the trace leading up to the options connector. If cutting the trace be extremely careful not to cut too deep so as not to cut into other layers of the PCB. Note: The 0 Ohm resistor described above is not shown on the pictorial in the TK-7180/8180 service manual so a part number cannot be given.

3. Plug the module into the CN-403 options connector.

4. Due to firmware compatibility issues between the radio and the scrambler the following wires must be added

depending on the features needed: COR: Solder a wire from the COR pad on the scrambler to the radio PCB junction of the anode of D-416, R-642 and C-560. The scrambler should be programmed for a COR Polarity of Low. Optional: Emergency ANI: Solder this wire to Pin 4 of J-701 if using Midian’s Kryptic ENI. If LTR Trunking is needed it will be necessary to install a jumper wire from “TRK_DLY” on the scrambler to an LOK programmable pin on the radio’s DB-25 J-701 connector. It is necessary to program the scrambler’s Trunk Delay In Polarity as “Low”. If the Trunking Input is not being used, program as “Hi”.

5. Reinstall the radio’s lid and cover.

Note: COR is recommended to mute the initial sync packet and for auto descramble. TK-7360 & TK-8360: 1. Remove the cover and lid from the radio. 2. Plug the module into the CN-700 options connector.

OPERATION

Mode Select: Press the radio key that was assigned in the radio programming. A tone will be emitted from the

radio and the ◊ symbol will appear on the display of the radio indicating scramble mode. If scrambling on a per

channel basis is being used, then switching between a scrambled or non-scrambled channel causes the ◊ symbol to appear or disappear. Code Select: Different codes can be accessed by setting the desired scrambler code (1-4) for a radio channel using the “Scrambler Setting” under the “Zone Information” screen’s “Channel Edit” button. Switching to the various channels can supply the user with the desired code. The scrambler should be programmed with the same number of security codes as are programmed into the radio. The scrambler should have the keypad programmed as “2-Line Binary” under the “Input/Output” tab. Communications: Once the desired mode has been selected, press and hold the PTT. The scrambler will generate a scrambled or clear synchronization packet to tell receiving radios whether to go to scramble or clear if Automatic Detection is enabled. Once the sync packet is transmitted a go-ahead beep is heard to indicate that it is okay to start the conversation. Midian’s Kryptic Signaling: Midian’s TVS-2 and VPU-15 offer the following signaling functions: ANI: When the PTT button is pressed the scrambler will generate an ANI to be decoded by Midian’s CAD-300 or DDU-300. Emergency ANI (ENI): When the Emergency button on the radio is pressed and held for 1 second the scrambler will key the radio and transmit the ANI to be decoded by Midian’s CAD-300 or DDU-300. Selective Call: The scrambler can be selectively called from Midian’s CAD-300 or DDU-300. When the scrambler is called it will generate ringing beeps out the radio’s speaker. Radio Kill: The scrambler can be disabled and re-enabled from Midian’s CAD-300 or DDU-300. When the scrambler receives a disable command it will not allow any receive or transmit audio to pass through the scrambler or for a PTT command to be given to the radio if the PTT path is controlled by the scrambler. When the scrambler receives an enable command it will resume normal operation. Spy: The scrambler can be sent a command from Midian’s CAD-300 or DDU-300 to key the radio and transmit ambient noise from the microphone for 00-90 seconds in 10 second increments. This time is preprogrammed into the scrambler. Query: This command sent from Midian’s CAD-300 or DDU-300 will report to the CAD or DDU if the scrambler/radio is currently on or off.

TECHNICAL NOTES

Radio Compatibility: Midian has taken the utmost care to ensure the option board integrates into the radio with minimal impact to the features of the radio. However, some features may not be available in the radio when an option board is used. If a feature is not available, please contact Midian to see if the feature can be added. Scan: Midian does not recommend the use of the radio’s scan feature when using the TVS-2. If the radio is looking at a different channel when sync is being transmitted, the receiving radio will miss part or all of the sync and will not be brought into the conversation until the resync is received. Audio Enable: This feature currently is not supported in the TK-7180 and TK-8180. This feature provides go-ahead beeps, ringing tones, etc. LTR Trunking: Midian’s TVS-2-KW1 and VPU-15-KW1 currently do not work with the LTR Trunking in the TK-2180/3180, as the radio does not supply an output to our trunk delay input. Kenwood does intend to support this feature, but no time has been specified. Emergency ANI: ENI is currently not supported by the Kenwood radio without the installation of a wire. In the TK-2180 solder a wire from “EMERG_IN” on the scrambler to the radio’s switch S-400 Aux Switch non-grounded leg. The AUX button on the radio should be programmed as “None”. See picture below.
