The EK-3000 keyboard can be used in combination with different equipments. The EK-

The keyboard dimension, the number of keys and the keys function can be customized ac-
cording to the specific customer requirements. It is possible to interconnect the keyboards
using external cable.
The keyboard software allows user simple programming of the keyboard. There are clear
removeable covers on the keyboard, which allows placing of the key function description

If you connect too energy demanding keyboard combination into a cascade (or
individually), the keyboard will cyclically reset itself—its LED diodes will flash continually.

disconnecting all accessories from the keyboard and try again.
