Preparation For Programming
Step 1: Turn off your computer
This chapter describes connection of Jarltech Model 8081
keyboards to a host computer for programming. The keyboard
is programmed through the RS232 port, regardless of whether
the ultimate interface during operation will be RS232 or
keyboard wedge.
Disconnect the power to your computer by unplugging it from
the power source. Remove the access cover to your computer. Mount the +12V DC power plate on an available
expansion slot in the back of your computer. Attach the 4-pin
male connector to the open female connector of the same type
of the switching power in your computer.
Review the installation diagram. Replace the computer's
access cover and power cord once the internal connections
are made.
If you have not already done so, turn off your computer to
avoid any accidental damage to the keyboard and your
computer.
Step 3: Using internal power source
Step 2: Decide on power access
The keyboard requires +12V DC for programming via the
RS232 port. This may be provided through an internal
connection in your computer or through an external connection to a 110V/220V adapter. The components for an internal
connection are provided. If you are using an external adapter,
be sure 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 built-in
DC jack to an available male equivalent (DB9M) RS232
communication port on your computer. Provide power to the
DC jack on the DB9F connector using either a cable connection 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 description of each pin can be found in Appendix III.

Step 5: Turn on your computer
Once all connections are complete, turn on your computer. It
should boot up normally. The keyboard will "beep" three
times.
The keyboard is now ready for programming. Turn to Chapter
3.

Step 1: Correct the switch
1. Set SW-1 according to the configurations you desired.
2. Set SW- 2,3 and 4 to default setting ON.
1. You will hear 3 beep sounds.
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 just
turn the LOCK ON.
3. If the LOCK is ON, the green LED light is on & the red LED
is off. Now,the 8081 is under normal working mode.
The red LED will light on during the porgramming mode and
light off when programming has been completed.

The keyboard has a Redirection Pointer. Each time
the Redirection Pointer changes from the RS232
port to the keypad, you can order the 8081 to send
this ID VALUE. This ID is only sent once before
the key value is sent, So the host device will know
the data has come from the keypad on the keyboard.

The Jarltech 8081 keyboards may be operated in conjunction
with your host computer or terminal using either a keyboard
wedge interface or an RS232 interface. As your requirements
change in the future, the keyboards may be re-programmed to
match the interface you require.
Step 1: Connect keyboard to computer
If your chosen operating mode utilizes the RS232 interface and
you currently have a connection between Port #1 on you
keyboard and a communication port on your computer (as you
did during the programming process), the keyboard is ready
for operation.
If your chosen operating mode uses the keyboard wedge,
disconnect the RS232 cable from 8 din port and connect the
keyboard cable attached on 8081 to computer. Then install
your keyboard to 8 din port on Jarltech 8081 keyboard. (see
Diagram 4.1)

Operating Your Keyboard
An internal RS232 interface is configured on the Jarltech 8081
circuit board for connection with a magnetic stripe reader.
This may be attached to the keyboard if requested at the time
of purchase. To use this attached card reader, configure the
dip-switch accordingly:
