SECTION I
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
This section describes the primary functions
of the Lear Siegler ADM 36 Video Display
Terminal (figure 1-1), along with its
physical dimensions, specifications, and
operating features.
1.2 PURPOSE AND USE
There are numerous applications ofthe ADM
36, all involving the transfer of data. Data
transfer in some applications may be almost
exclusively unidirectional either from the
unit to the computer, or from the computer to
the unit. A more frequent application,
however, is one in which an operator
communicates with a computer, and the
computer responds in accordance with its
stored program.
1.3 DESCRIPTION
The ADM 36 is a complete stand alone data
terminal consisting of a Monitor Unit, and a
separate Keyboard Unit. Both units contain
two section lightweight enclosures which
house the required circuits associated with
their individual functions. At the rear of the
Monitor Unit are the interface connectors,
fuse, power cord,
ON/OFF switch, and
Keyboard connector.
The standard display screen is a 12-inch
(30.5cm)
diagonal CRT. The display format
consists of an SO-character x 24-line or 132-
character x 24-line page. Figure 1-2 shows
the standard 96 character USASCII format
(with HEXadecimal codes) employed by the
ADM 36.
1.3.1
The ADM 36 includes the following features:
ANSI x 3.41-1974 and x 3.64-1979 code
compatibility
• Full Duplex RS-232, RS-422, and 20mA
Current Loop Communications Port
DP236
1-1
• Asynchronous Serial Printer Port
• Two display formats: 80x24 or 132x24
• Non-Embedded Visual Attributes:
blink, bold, underline, reduced, reverse,
double
high, double wide, and protected
• Eight selectable character sets
including: USASCII, UKASCII,
Spanish, French, German, Italian,
Norwegian/Danish, and Swedish/
Finnish
• Line drawing (Business Graphics) and
wide point (132x120) Graphics
• 7x9 character matrix, with descenders,
in a 9x10 field. All points
programmable through a 2716 PROM.
(For example, continuous Arabic
characters may be user programmed).
• Smooth or Jump Scroll
•
User defineable horizontal split screen
• Non-volatile RAM stores all operating
parameters. No switches need be set by
the user. Features are changed via the
keyboard in SET-UP mode, using
"English Legend" prompts on the
display.
• A fast Z80 CPU and fast RAMs allow
operation to 4800 baud with no X-
ON/X-OFF cycles. No display flicker
during screen reading or writing.
• 256 character F1 FO
• Video output option RS-170
compatible, standard monitors may be
used; 25 MHz minimum bandwidth
required for 132 character operation.
Keyboard programmable birghtness
level.
• 50/60 Hz operation

modifications to the standard configuration
of the unit. Following is a list of the options
available for the ADM 36.
1.5.1 15 Inch Display Option
The ADM 36 can be ordered with an optional
15 inch (38.1cm) diagonal display. Display
format remains the same -80 characters x 24
lines or 132 characters x 24 lines.
1.5.2 Composite Video Option
oThe Composite Video Option provides the
capability of driving an external display
monitor. The signal levels and timing are RS-
170 compatible.
For proper operation at 132
columns, a monitor with a minimum of 25
MHz
bandwidth is required.
1.5.3 Tilt Mechanism Option
The display tilt mechanism option allows the
display to be placed in one of six positions.
Adjustment range is from 10degrees back to 5
degrees
forward of vertical.
1.5.4 International Keycap Option
The international keycap set provides the
capability of using a "QWERTY,"
"QWERTZ," or "AZERTY" style keyboard
layout. The keycap set also includes the
special character keycaps that are used by
languages other than English. Refer to
figure 1-3 for illustrations of the various
keyboard layouts and associated keycap
legend changes.
1.5.5 Integral Modem Option

SECTION II
INSTALLATION
2.1 INTRODUCTION
This section contains installation
instructions for the ADM 36. Also includ.ed
are descriptions of on-site safety
requirements, initial set-up, communications
interfaces, plus procedures for power turn-
on/self test, power turn-off and routine
maintenance.
2.2 SAFETY REQUIREMENTS
No special safety precautions are required for
ADM 36 installation.
2.3 UNPACKING AND INITIAL
INSPECTION
Each ADM 36 is thoroughly inspected and
carefully packaged prior to shipment. Every
precaution is taken to ensure that each unit is
complete and ready for installation at the
customer's site. However, it is recommended
that each unit be inspected upon receipt for
transmit damage. Start by examining the
exterior of the package for evidence of rough
or careless handling; then perform a
thorough visual inspection of the internal
components and subassemblies. As a rule,
more transportation companies will not
honor claims for damage unless they are filed
promptly; therefore, the following steps
should be taken:
1. Verify that each item shown on the Sales
Order Packing Slip has been included in
the shipment. Contact Lear Siegler or
your distributor immediately in the event
of packing shortage.
2. Verify that the serial number of the unit
corresponds to that shown on the invoice.
3. Check the hardware to determine if any
assemblies or screws were loosened
during shipment. Tighten as required.
DP236 2-1
4. Inspect for dust or foreign material
which may impair electrical contact
when cable connections are made.
Vacuum to remove any loose dirt.
5. Install and test the ADM 36 as soon as
possible after delivery. (This is very
important since internal damage to the
equipment cannot be determined by
visual inspection alone).
6. If, in your opinion, the equipment has
been damaged - either internally or
externally - notify the agent of the
transportation company immediately,
and ask him to make an inspection. If
assistance is needed to describe the
extent of the damage or the repairs that
will be necessary, contact your local
Sales and Service Office.
2.4 SITE REQUIREMENTS
The ADM 36 may be conveniently used in a
normal office environment as no special
mounting provisions are required. It is
recommended that the environment be
weather protected with an ambient
temperature range of 41 deg F to 104 deg F (5
deg C to 40 deg C) and a relative humidity of
not greater than 95%.
Allow the ADM 36 to adjust to any
change in the elwironment before
applying power. Moving the unit from
one location to another could produce
internal condensation and adversely
affect ADM 36 operation.
Whenever the ADM 36 is physically moved
from a cold location to a warmer
environment, be sure to allow sufficient time
for the equipment temperature to equalize

with the warmer location before activating
the unit. Condensation developed by the
temperature differential could possibly
impair the ADM 36. The physical
dimensions of the ADM 36 are shown in
figure 2-1. The basic requirements for
installation are as follows:
• Table or desk mounting
• Standard three-pronged 115-volt (230-
volt optionally) power outlet.
• Cable connection to the computer,
modem, serial printer, or other
auxiliary device. If connection to a
remote computer is desired, a modem or
data set is usually required.
2.5 LINE VOLTAGE SELECTION
The ADM 36 is shipped configured for either
115-volt or 230-volt operation, as specified in
the purchase order. Any change in line
voltage requires circuit changes which can be
2-2
accomplished only by authorized
maintenance personnel.
2.6 SET-UP MODE
The SET-UP mode function allows a user to
select terminal features that are tailored to
the operating environment of a specific
system. The ADM 36 selects and stores the
terminal features in the SET-UP mode by
means of nonvolatile memory (NVR), instead
of switches or jumpers.
Once features are selected and written to
NVR memory, the terminal always
remembers what features have been selected.
When the SET-UP mode is entered (by
pressing the SET-UP key), the features stored
in working memory are displayed on the
screen. These features may be changed and
can be stored in either working or permanent
(NVR) memory. Working memory is achieved
by selecting terminal features in the SET-UP
mode without a Save operation. Permanent
