for the
Apollo 2002/2102 Keypads
The Apollo 2002/2102 keypad is a small, Dzus rail-mounted unit
designed for use with Apollo Dzus-mount Navigation Management
Computers (NMC). The keypad provides a fast, easy method for
entering data into your NMC. The keypad allows a convenient way to
enter or edit single characters, such as in waypoint names.
Using the Keypad
The left and right arrow buttons serve the same function as the large
knob on the NMC to choose which character on the display will flash.
The keypad cannot be used to scroll through top-level displays for each
mode; you must use the Large knob on the NMC.
When the desired character on the NMC flashes, use the keypad to
enter the appropriate letter or numeric character. The NMC will only
allow the entry of characters that you could also have selected with the
Small knob for any given function. For instance, if a number value is
flashing, you can only enter a number. A letter would not be allowed.
When the NMC accepts a character, the next character to the right will
flash. This allows you to use the keypad to continue changing other
characters without turning the knobs on the NMC.
The ENT button on the keypad serves the same function as on the front
panel of the NMC. Press the ENT button to save the entered
characters.
The keypad can send alpha characters A to Z and numeric characters 0
to 9. The buttons on the top row for letters A to J are shared with the
numbers 0 to 9. The UP arrow (NUM-LOCK) button on the right side
of the keypad allows you to select between entering numbers or letters
on the top row. After you press the NUM-LOCK button the
Num-Lock indicator lights to indicate that numbers will be selected
when a button on the top row is pressed. Press the NUM-LOCK
button again to allow entry of letters and the indicator light will be off.
If the keypad is used on a strictly numeric field, the A-J keys are
automatically changed to 0-9. All other keys become 0.
