TheTA61keyboard

General

The TA61 keyboard has a keypad with maximum 60 usable keys. Except for the numeric keys (0 to 9), the C key and the 0.00 key, the key layout is flexible, i.e. any two contiguous keys can be combined to form a double key and any four keys can be combined to form a quadruple key, either horizontally or vertically.
The TA61 keyboard is equipped with a key switch with 6 switch positions and is available with or without a swipecard reader.
A power-up reset and an automatic self-test are performed each time the POS terminal is switched on. Following these self-tests, the keyboard is ready for operation. The keyboard receives its power from the POS system.

Keypad

Keypad
TA61 keyboard without swipecard reader
Keypad
In the TA61 keypad, two keys can be combined to form a double key and four keys to form a quadruple key, either horizontally or vertically. Only one key code is generated by each double or quadruple key. Different key codes can be set for the multiple keys by rotating the key caps. These caps have a guide cylinder that is shifted when the cap is rotated, resulting in different key codes.
Key caps can be changed on the spot using the key cap remover included in the scope of supply. When using the key caps for multiple keys, note the position of the pin on the underside, making sure that the desired code is set.
