    Manual Override Figure 12: PK202-25 2.1 DB-9 Connector The PK202-25 provides a DB-9 Connector to readily interface with serial devices which use the EIA232 standard signal levels of 12V to 12V. It is also possible to communicate at TTL levels of 0 to +5V by setting the Protocol Select Jumpers to TTL.

  • Page 14: Power Through Db-9 Jumper

    In order to provide power through pin 9 of the DB-9 Connector you must place a solder jumper on the Power through DB-9 Jumper pictured in below. The PK202-25 allows all voltage models to use the figure 14 power through DB-9 option, see table 1 on the following page for display module voltage requirements.

    2.5 Dallas 1-Wire Bridge In addition to the six general purpose outputs the PK202-25 offers a Dallas 1-wire bridge, to allow for an additional thirty two 1-wire devices to be connected to the display. See Section 8.1 on page 33.

  • Page 17: Manual Override

    2.6 Manual Override The Manual Override is provided to allow the PK202-25 to be reset to factory defaults. This can be particularly helpful if the display module has been set to an unknown baud rate or I C Slave Address and you are no longer able to communicate with it.

  • Page 18: Keypad Interface Connector

    PC power supply may fit on the Power/Data Connector however they do not have the correct pin out as can be seen in figure 10 on page 7. Matrix Orbital supplies power cable adapters for connecting to a PC, which can be found in the Accessories Section on page 1.

  • Page 19: The Display Module Is Not Communicating

    The last step will be to check the Power / Data Connector on the PK202-25. If the Power / Data Connector has become loose, or you are unable to resolve the issue, please contact Matrix Orbital, see 14.5 on page 56 for contact information.
