!
CAUTION:
INJURY.
A BROKEN KEYBOARD IS NOT COVERED BY THE
WARRANTY, A NEW KEYBOARD CAN BE ORDERED AT YOUR DEALER.
ORDER CODE: KB020501
IMPORTANT: Since this is a complex assembly with a lot of possibilities, it is advisable to
read through the complete instructions BEFORE starting the actual assembly.

1. Assembly (Skipping this can lead to troubles ! )
Ok, so we have your attention. These hints will help you to make this project successful. Read them carefully.
1.1 Make sure you have the right tools:
• A good quality soldering iron (25-40W) with a small tip.
• Wipe it often on a wet sponge or cloth, to keep it clean; then apply solder to the tip, to give it a wet look. This is called ‘thinning’ and will
protect the tip, and enables you to make good connections. When solder rolls off the tip, it needs cleaning.
• Thin raisin-core solder. Do not use any flux or grease.
• A diagonal cutter to trim excess wires. To avoid injury when cutting excess leads, hold the lead so they
cannot fly towards the eyes.
• Needle nose pliers, for bending leads, or to hold components in place.
• Small blade and Phillips screwdrivers. A basic range is fine.
For some projects, a basic multi-meter is required, or might be handy
1.2 Assembly Hints :
⇒ Make sure the skill level matches your experience, to avoid disappointments.
⇒ Follow the instructions carefully. Read and understand the entire step before you perform each operation.
⇒ Perform the assembly in the correct order as stated in this manual
⇒ Position all parts on the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) as shown on the drawings.
⇒ Values on the circuit diagram are subject to changes.
⇒ Values in this assembly guide are correct*
⇒ Use the check-boxes to mark your progress.
⇒ Please read the included information on safety and customer service
* Typographical inaccuracies excluded. Always look for possible last minute manual updates, indicated as ‘NOTE’ on a separate leaflet.

Assembly hints
1.3 Soldering Hints :
1- Mount the component against the PCB surface and carefully solder the leads
2- Make sure the solderjoints are cone-shaped and shiny
3- Trim excess leads as close as possible to the solder joint
Each key is function definable (moment or toggle) and backlit. It is even possible to simulate old fashioned
“radio buttons” (only one output can be ON, just like a rotary switch).
One key can be defined as a pre-set memory or serve as “all clear”.
The K8046 features 4 operating modes, selectable with shunt SK1 or SK2 :
1. Eight independent keys (toggle or momentary selectable).
2. Eight radio (Rotary simulation) buttons.
3. Four radio buttons and 4 independent keys.
4. One key is reserved as memory or “clear all” function.
Momentary (push button-) function : Hold the key to activate the output and release the key to deactivate it.
Toggle function : Operates according to the principle of a classic switch, i.e. you have to press the key once
to switch and press again to deactivate it.

If a momentary output is needed, DO NOT mount a diode for the corresponding output D1 to D8.
If a toggle output is needed, MOUNT a diode for the corresponding output D1 to D8.

Diode type: 1N4148.
Check the polarity !
JUMPER SELECTION
Different possibilities in conjunction with diode setup:
1. Eight indepent keys (no jumper is mounted) toggle or momentary selectable see
previous page.
2. Eight radio ( Rotary simulation) buttons, only one button (output) at a time can be
ON. Again with possibility of momentary or toggle.
Normally a toggle function will be used for this type of output.

3. Four radio buttons and 4 independent keys.
This is a combination of above. The first row (1 to4). Are independent buttons, the second
row (5 to 8) have a rotary simulation.
4. Key 8 is reserved as memory or ‘Clear all’ Function.
If D8 is mounted this key will switch between all clear and memory of the previous keyboard
setting.
If D8 is NOT mounted, this key will serve as all clear.
HINT: the separate CLEAR button can also be used as keyboard clear function.
This key will actually reset the processor.

IR detector
18. Optional IR detector
It is possible to use the keyboard together with a remote control (e.g. our K8049 & K8051). In this case an
optional receiver module type IR38DM is available.
A special cut-out in the front panel has to be made, see figure 1.0.
Fig 1.0

IR detector
Position the module like in the drawing. Use some hot glue to hold the receiver in place on the relay (Fig 2.0)
Make the connections:
Connect 1 with right side of R13
Connect 2 with COM connection of the output connector
Connect 3 with left connection of R20. See picture.
