1.7 Serial Communications Installation
As of May 12 2014, the PCT firmware (PP-2110-543B) does not make use the PCT serial port hardware. Future
revisions of the PCT firmware may activate the serial port for use as a supervisor interface, or possibly to transmit
data to slave displays, but at this time the serial port is not used.
1.8 Proper use of the PCT Keypad
The PCT keypad is designed for operation by a human finger, and when properly used, each key is rated for over
1,000,000 operations. However, if a hard object, such as a pen, pencil, or wood / steel rod is used to operate the
keypad, it will severely decrease its operational lifespan. We have observed keypads failing in as little as three
months when abused. Keypad failures due to abuse are not covered under the 1 year warranty.
The photo below shows the typical damage cased by using a hard object such as a pencil to depress the
[RUN]
key. The polycarbonate overlay has warn through exposing the 12oz tri-dome. Additionally the tri-dome has
collapsed, causing the key to “stick on”. When this happens, all of the keys on the keypad become non-functional.
To repair the PCT, the keypad must be pealed off of the PCT front panel and replaced.
Replacement keypads may be purchased and shipped to your factory for you to install. Contact American LED-
gible and order part number, KB-2659-003 which has a list price of $25 each.
