Installing an Optional PS-2 Keyboard

To increase the speed and ease of entering alpha-numeric data, a standard PS/2 keyboard can be connected. Use

the following steps to install a PS/2 keyboard.

1. Place the 920i into Setup Mode by pressing the setup switch. See Section 1.1 (setup mode) for finding

and pressing the setup switch. This may involve breaking an inspectors lead seal.

2. When the 920i enters into Setup Mode, Scales is selected. Press the right arrow key on the keypad, so

Serial is selected.

3. Press the down arrow key once. Port 1 is selected.
4. Press the right arrow key once to select Port 2.
5. Press the down arrow key one. CMD will be selected.
6. Press the right arrow key once to select KEYBRD.
7. Press the Up arrow key twice. SERIAL should be selected and there should be a Save and Exit softkey in

the lower right-hand side of the display.

8. Press the Save and Exit softkey.
9. Power down the CB-2 with the key switch.
10. Bring the end of the PS/2 keyboard cable into the CB-2 through one of the cord grips on the back of the

enclosure. Plug in the PS/2 keyboard into the PS/2 connector (located between the display contrast

potentiometer and the DB-9 serial port) about 2” away from the setup switch. Your CB-2 may be

equipped with an optional keyboard connector extension. If this is the case, there will be a cable running

out of the back of the CB-2 enclosure with a female PS/2 connector on the end of it.

11. Power up the CB-2 with the key switch.
12. Test the keyboard. F1 to F5 on the keyboard should map to the softkeys from left to right, respectively.
