residential installation. This eq ipment generates, ses, and
if not installed and sed in accordance with the instr ctions
may ca se harmf l interference will not occ r in a partic lar
installation. If this eq ipment does ca se harmf l interfer-
ence to radio or television reception, which can be deter-
mined by t rning the eq ipment off and on. The ser is
enco raged to try correct interference by one or more of the

Before You Install
The Jarltech 8081 programmable keyboards have been
specially designed for se with personal comp ters or
terminals in Point-Of-Sale and ind strial applications. This
man al describes how to connect the Jarltech keyboard to
yo r system, how to design a keyboard layo t which meets
yo r special req irements, and how to install yo r pro-
grammed keyboard layo t into the Jarltech keyboard.
Model 8081 is a tactile keyboard with eight rows and ten
col mns for a maxim m of 80 keys. Single, do ble, and
q adr ple key caps may be sed. The keyboard layo t and
key f nctions are completely programmable.
The keyboard has both RS232 and IBM keyboard wedge
interface capabilities.

Preparation For Programming
Step 1: Turn off your computer
This chapter describes connection of Jarltech Model 8081
keyboards to a host comp ter for programming. The keyboard
is programmed thro gh the RS232 port, regardless of whether
the ltimate interface d ring operation will be RS232 or
keyboard wedge.
Disconnect the power to yo r comp ter by npl gging it from
the power so rce. Remove the access cover to yo r com-
p ter. Mo nt the +12V DC power plate on an available
expansion slot in the back of yo r comp ter. Attach the 4-pin
male connector to the open female connector of the same type
of the switching power in yo r comp ter.
Review the installation diagram. Replace the comp ter's
access cover and power cord once the internal connections
are made.
If yo have not already done so, t rn off yo r comp ter to
avoid any accidental damage to the keyboard and yo r
comp ter.
Step 3: Using internal power source
Step 2: Decide on power access
The keyboard req ires +12V DC for programming via the
RS232 port. This may be provided thro gh an internal
connection in yo r comp ter or thro gh an external connec-
tion to a 110V/220V adapter. The components for an internal
connection are provided. If yo are sing an external adapter,
be s re that it conforms with the specifications listed in
Appendix III and then go to Step 4.
11
Step 4: Connect keyboard to computer
Attach the 9-pin female (DB9F) RS232 connector with b ilt-in
DC jack to an available male eq ivalent (DB9M) RS232
comm nication port on yo r comp ter. Provide power to the
DC jack on the DB9F connector sing either a cable connec-
tion to the +12V DC power plate or an external adapter.
Connect the 8 din male side of the RS232 cable to the rear face
of the keyboard. This 8 din port serves either keyboard wedge
or RS232 interface depends on the pin assignment. A descrip-
tion of each pin can be fo nd in Appendix III.

Step 5: Turn on your computer
Once all connections are complete, t rn on yo r comp ter. It
sho ld boot p normally. The keyboard will "beep" three
times.
The keyboard is now ready for programming. T rn to Chapter

Step 1: Correct the switch
1. Set SW-1 according to the config rations yo desired.
2. Set SW- 2,3 and 4 to defa lt setting ON.
1. Yo will hear 3 beep so nds.
2. If the LOCK on 8001 is at OFF,then both the green & red
LEDs will light on and the 8081 cant work now. Please j st
t rn the LOCK ON.
3. If the LOCK is ON, the green LED light is on & the red LED
is off. Now,the 8081 is nder normal working mode.
The red LED will light on d ring the porgramming mode and
light off when programming has been completed.

NOTE: If using keyboard for RS232 mode, the Shift, CTRL and
ALT are not implemented.
If you want to use RS232 mode,the key value is from Hex 00
to FF.
If you want to use IBM keyboard wedge mode, the key
value is coorespondent to the key table refer to Appendix I.
If using POS demo on OS2, you will have to press ALT
and HOME. This will display the key layout. Also you
will have to press ALT and P which assigns the
keyboard to the window.

(e) Set Keyboard Data stream ID BYTE!!
Keyboard data stream ID byte is a Hex val e
prefixed to all data coming from the keypad
Enter decimal ID value for the keyboard data stream
0
The keyboard has a Redirection Pointer. Each time
the Redirection Pointer changes from the RS232
port to the keypad, yo can order the 8081 to send
this ID VALUE. This ID is only sent once before
the key val e is sent, So the host device will know
the data has come from the keypad on the key-
board.
(f) Set A x RS232 Data stream ID BYTE!!
Enter decimal ID VALUE for the AUXILIA Y S232
data streams:-

The keyboard has a Redirection Pointer.
Each time the Redirection Pointer changes from the
keypad to the RS232 ports, yo can order the 8081
to send this ID VALUE. It is only sent once before
the incoming com port is transmitted on. So HOST
will know the data is coming from the RS232 ports
on the keyboard.
(g) Set Ba d rate. 300 - 19200 BPS.
