3.1 Entering programming mode
Press down and hold [Num Lock] and press the
keys you want to program.
3.2 Inputting the characters to be pro-
grammed
Now you can enter the character strings you
want to program from a connected standard
keyboard. If you input the characters directly
into the keypad, they appear on the screen.
Previously programmed characters are deleted.
You can program up to 24 characters per key.
3.3 Exiting from programming mode
Exit from programming mode by pressing the
[Num Lock] key again. The newly programmed
CodeSet is preserved in memory when the
power is turned off.
4. Operating modes
The keypad supports 4 modes of operation,
which differ in terms of the numeric keypad key
assignments and the functioning of the
[Num Lock] key.
Switching from one mode to another:
In order to switch to mode 1, please press the
following keys in the below mentioned se-
quence and keep them pressed.
-
„NumLock“-Key
-
Key ”1“
-
“Enter“-Key
In order to switch over to mode 2, 3 or 4, please
press key ”2”, ”3” or ”4” instead of key ”1” for the
required mode.
Mode 1: Standard function (standard Num
Lock switching)
In mode 1 [Num Lock] acts as a „genuine“ Num
Lock key, i.e. it changes the system’s Num
status (just as on a standard keyboard).
Mode 1 is the factory default mode.
Mode 2: Switching layers instead of Num
Lock plus alternative decimal separators
In mode 2, the [Num Lock] key switches be-
tween layers, i.e. does not change the system’s
Num status.
Layer 1 key assignments: numbers on the
alphanumeric keypad, as labeled.
Layer 2 key assignments: navigation keys on
the numeric keypad, as labeled.
This is easy to reprogram in layer 1 so that it
generates a alternativ decimal-hyphen a double
zero (00) or a triple zero (000) instead.
You reprogram the key by simultaneously
pressing down and holding [Num Lock] and [,]
adv. [.] and pressing [Enter]. By pressing this
key combination you can cycle through the
different key assignments in sequence, i.e. (.),
(,), (00) or (000). You can check the setting on-
screen by pressing the key [,] adv. [.]
Mode 3: switching layers for French key-
board drivers
As in mode 2, the [Num Lock] key acts as a
layer switch.
Layer 1 key assignments: if using French TT
drivers , use [Shift]+number keys to generate
numbers.
Layer 2 key assignments: as in mode 2 (naviga-
tion keys on the numeric keypad).
Mode 4: programmable mode
Function: [Num Lock] key acts as a genuine
Num-Status-Switch.
Default key assignments in mode 4: empty, i.e.
no codes are sent.
In mode 4, you can program any key – except
for the [Num Lock] key – on one layer only.
To program the key assignments in mode 4,
connect a standard keyboard as described in
the section on programming.
5. Reset option
(restoring default settings)
To restore the keypad to its default factory
settings, proceed as follows:
Press and hold down [Num Lock] and simulta-
neously press [–] and [Enter].
When the keypad is reset, the 4 programmable
keys are restored to their default values (as
labeled). Any codes programmed into the
numeric keypad in mode 4 are deleted. The
numeric keypad is reset to mode 1.
The programmed decimal-hyphen in Mode 2 is
not effected by a reset.
