TVS- Series: GENERAL INFORMATION The TVS- series is a high-level hopping code scrambler. The TVS- uses hopping type rolling code encryption for higher security rather than sweeping code type and offers user-programmable hop rates and is down gradable to voice inversion. The scrambler is capable of features such as ANI, ENI, OTAR, Deadbeat Disable, Spy, and more when using Midian s Kryptic Signaling format with the CAD-00/DDU-00/TRC-00. For more information on the TVS- please read the TVS- Technical Reference Manual. Note: The TVS--VX by Midian is the same module as the FVP- sold by Vertex Standard (Yaesu). VPU- Series: The VPU- series is an entry level voice inversion scrambler with Midian s Kryptic Signaling. The scrambler is capable of features such as ANI, ENI, OTAR, Deadbeat Disable, Spy, and more when using Midian s Kryptic Signaling format with the CAD-00/DDU-00/TRC-00.
PRODUCT PROGRAMMING Midian s TVS--VX and VPU--VX are programmed via Midian s KL- programming interface and the MPS software. Please reference the KL- manual for setup instructions of the software and hardware. From the product selection screen on the MPS software, select the TVS--VX or VPU--VX from the list and click OK. 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 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. Programming: Plug the board onto the KL- and connect the green clip lead to the Program In hole. Push the power button on the KL- and click Program Unit in the MPS software. The LED on the KL- will faintly flash if programmed successfully. Reading: Plug the board onto the KL-, connect the green clip lead to the Program In hole, and connect the yellow clip lead to the Program Out hole. Push the power button on the KL- and click Read Unit in the MPS software. NOTE: 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. Program Out Program In
