Servicing the radio
The manufacturing process does not allow
direct servicing access to components on the
main PCB. Service repairs of Tait Orca 5000
handportables are therefore limited to key
mechanical and ancillary devices associated
with the main PCB. These include:
■ front panel assembly;
■ lens (Orca 5020, Orca 5035 and Orca
5040);
■ PTT keypad;
■ speaker;
■ keypad (Orca 5020, Orca 5035 and Orca
5040);
■ LCD display (Orca 5020, Orca 5035 and
Orca 5040);
■ shield, complete with user interface PCB
assembly and polyester dome (Orca 5020,
Orca 5035 and Orca 5040);
■ main PCB assembly;
■ antenna connector;
■ channel selector switch;
■ volume control switch;
■ microphone;
■ speaker contacts;
■ battery contacts;
■ PTT tact switch;
■ RF out assembly; and
■ auxiliary flexible PCB.
A list of spares kits available for servicing Tait
Orca 5000 handportables is shown in Table
D-1 on page D-16. These spares can be ordered
from your local Tait dealer.
Screw head types
Most of the screws in Tait Orca 5000
handportables are Torx head screws, and so a
Torx T6 driver bit is supplied as part of the
service kit. When removing screws be sure to
use the correct driver.
Torx head 1.8*5 mm screws should be
removed using the supplied Torx T6 driver.
When replacing these screws, set the driver to
2 inch pounds.
