instruction manual KT10

Dear customer,
this special keyboard works largely like a normal keyboard
for your computer system.
Your keyboard is designed for the operation according to
industrial standard in connection with a PC system.
1. Installation
• Switch your computer off before the installation.
• Connect the keyboard with a USB 2.0 or
PS 2 interface of your computer.
• Switch the computer on.
When your computer has been booted the keyboard is ready for use.
2. Special Functions
To enable people with different disabilities to work without difficulty,
the keyboard has a number of special functions available:
Keystroke Delay
Double Keystroke Delay
Character Repeat Delay
Character Repeat Rate
Locking Keys
Key Tone
Keystroke Delay
The keystroke delay determines how long a key must be pressed till
the display is carried out. Unintentional keystrokes make no impact.
2instruction manual KT10

Double Keystroke Delay
When you hold down a key the keyboard repeats the character after
a certain time. The Double Keystroke Delay allows to set the time
between first recognition of a keystroke and renewed recognition.
Unintentional multiple strokes of the same key are ignored.
Character Repeat Delay
When you hold down a key the character repeats in the not delayed
state after 0.25 sec. Using Character Repeat Delay you can set
the time that elapses before a character repeats.
Character Repeat Rate
A standard keyboard displays approx. 10 characters per second du-
ring the automatic repetition. The repeating rate permits to reduce
the number of the displayed characters during the automatic repeti-
tion. Adjusting these settings can benefit people with slowed down
work movement.
Locking Keys
Locking keys is a feature designed for people who use the key-
board with only one hand or one finger and have difficulties in
holding down two or more keys at a time. When a shortcut requires
a key combination such as Ctrl+P, locking keys will enable you to
press one key at a time instead of pressing them simultaneously. If
the locking keys feature is activated you can use ist by pressing the
keys Alt, Alt Gr, Shift, Ctrl and the Windows keys. If the feature is
activated and you have pressed one of these keys unintentionally,
the function can be reset by pressing the button once more.
Key Tone
When this feature is activated the computer will provide sound cues
when the keys are pressed.

3. Adjusting the Special Functions
The control electronics permit a dialogue controlled change of the
operating parameters. The change of the operation parameters can
only be carried out when the keyboard is activated and in the set-
ting mode. To carry out the dialogue controlled input an editor must
be activated. More detailled information on starting an editor under
different operating systems you will find in appendix A.
You activate the Setting mode with the „set“ button at the
back of the keyboard (red key).
When the editor is activated the following dialogue appears.
In this mode you can change the operating parameters
of the keyboard.
Keystroke Delay: Current Value 0
Keystroke Delay: (0-99 + Enter)
Double Keystroke Delay: Current Value 0
Double Keystroke Delay: (0-99 + Enter)
Character Repeat Delay: Current Value 10
Character Repeat Delay: (0-99 + Enter)
Character Repeat Rate: Current Value 15
Character Repeat Rate: (0-99 + Enter)
Locking Keys: On
Locking Keys: (0=Off / 1=On)
Key Tone: On

4. Default Mode
If the special functions are activated, the keyboard normally
is operating by using these settings. Additionally this special
keyboard allows to operate with default parameters without
opening the adjusting mode and adjusting every special function
to zero. To operate without a special function switch the keyboard
over to the default mode.
You activate the default mode by the “default“-pushbutton
(green button) at the backside of the keyboard. (Fig. 3.1).
If you press the button again you deactivate the default mode
and the keyboard operates according to the adjusted special
functions again.
If an editor is activated while you are activating or deactivating
the default mode you get the message
“Default Values On” or “Default Values Off”.
