The AROFLEX type UA 8116 highly automated equipment for the rapid, reliable, and efficient OFF-LINE encryption of written or punched tape messages. Additionally, AROFLEX can be used as a stand-alone message tape preparation facility. Line-connected operation is made possible by the addition of suitable line-terminating circuitry and appropriate COMSEC measures.

This 5-level, 50 to 100 baud teleprinter employs a Siemens daisy wheel printer. The commercial version of the teleprinter was called the T-1000 while the crypto version was known as the 1000 CA. (CA means Cryptological Application). For Siemens, this computer controlled printer was the high point of the Telex era.

AROFLEX also contains a light-weight optical tape reader and a compact tape punch. The flat and shallow Norwegian produced crypto module is bolted to the bottom of the teleprinter while the operating controls for both teleprinter and crypto module are grouped in a single row along the top of the keyboard. Normally it was set up to operate at 50, 75 or 100 baud on-line, but in the off line mode it operated at 100 baud.
