2 installation ... configure the pc8106-2 for the display by setting the jumpers on j5 using the configuration chart below. construct the cable to interface the lcd module to the pc8106-2, the cable should not exceed 24 inches. turn off your computer and remove the cover. locate one empty 16 bit slot, remove the protective rear plate. insert the card pressing straight down with even pressure being sure the card is fully seated. secure the pc8106-2 using the screw you removed when taking out the protective rear plate. also at this time be sure that there is no other display card installed. pc8106-2 configuration to configure the pc8106 for the type of panel you are using, install the appropriate jumpers. display display j5- resolution mode 5 4 3 2 1 monochrome displays 320x240 single 4 in in out in out optrex dmf50174, dmf50081, dmf50531 320x256 single 4 in out out in out 480x320 dual 8 out in in out out 640x200 single 4 in out in out out optrex dmf50036, dmf651, dmf50357 640x400 single 8 in in out out out 640x400 dual 8 out in out out out 640x480 single 8 in out out out out 640x480 dual 8 out out out out out optrex dmf50260, dmf50383, dmf50753, dmf50961 color displays 320x240 single 8 in in in out in optrex dmf50944 640x480 single 8 in out out out in 640x480 dual 8 out in out out in 640x480 single 16 in in out out in 640x480 dual 16 out in out out in optrex dmf50414, dmf50757, dmf50766
3 bias voltage (vee) ... the pc8106-2 is available in two configurations, pc8106n and pc8106p. the differences are the pc8106n-2 generates a negative (-14 to -24)voltage, 0 to +3 volts for lcd bias. the pc8106p-2 generates a positive(24 to 35 volts) voltage for lcd bias. the 0 to +3 volts on the pc8106n-2 is for kyocera displays only. these voltages are factory set to a specific lcd module when the module is specified with the order. however, when this is not specified users must check their modules required bias voltage prior to use since these values do vary from model to model. the bias voltage is switched on only when all the registers are set and the clock to the lcd is running. this protects the display from damage which could occur if this voltage were applied before the controller was initialized and running. the negative bias voltage range is -14 to -24 volts controlled by r28 and the positive bias voltage range is +24 to +34 volts controlled by r23. this potentiometer is adjusted for proper contrast on the display. if needed this potentiometer may be remoted off the board. to do this remove r23 or r28 depending on which version you have and connect the external potentiometer to connector j6 as follows: pc8106p-2, 10k pc8106n-2, 100k(r28) 5k(r23) j6.1, cw j6.2, cw j6.3, wiper j6.4, wiper j6.5, ccw j6.6, ccw pin 1 of j6 is identified with a square pad.
4 display interface ... connection to the display is made through a 34 position connector j1 located in the center right side of the board. a contrast potentiometer comes installed from the factory. this potentiometer may be located externally if desired. j1- pin# 1. ud0 2. ud1 3. ud2 4. ud3 5. ud4 6. ud5 7. ud6 8. ud7 9. ld0 10. ld1 11. ld2 12. ld3 13. ld4 14. ld5 15. ld6 16. ld7 17. wf (m) 18. lp 19. xscl (cp) 20. yd (flm) 21. polarizer 22. +12 volts 23. xscl2 24. nc 25. +5 26. ground 27. disp off 28. ground 29. vee select + 30. vee 31. vee select common 32. vee 33. vee select - 34. ground external contrast adjustment remove existing contrast pot and connect to: pc8106p-2, 10k pc8106n-2, 100k j6.1, cw j6.2, cw j6.3, wiper j6.4, wiper j6.5, ccw j6.6, ccw note: do not use the 5 volt or 12 volt pins for backlighting voltage. we suggest using a spare disk drive power connector or other source. for displays requiring a positive contrast voltage, j1 pins 29 and 31 must be shorted together. for displays requiring a negative contrast voltage, j1 pins 31 and 33 must be shorted together. these jumpers help protect the display from the wrong voltage being applied if you were trying to use the wrong version display card.
5 certain kyocera displays require a +3 volt vee voltage. these displays will use the pc8106n-2 rev e or higher. do not use pc8106p or any earlier version of the pc8106n board. contrast on these displays are adjusted with r23, 5k potentiometer. windows 3.1 driver installation ... the windows 3.1 driver is for cds pc8106, vga104 256 color driver board only. to check if you have a 256 color version the part number on the lcd controller should read: ? spc8106foc ?. to install driver: 1. locate your original windows 3.1 disks, you will need them to load the required fonts. 2. go to your windows subdirectory: ? cd windows ?. 3. run windows setup program: ? setup ?. 4. select ? display ? and press enter. 5. scroll down to the end of the list and select: ? other (requires disk provided by hardware manufacturer) ?. 6. insert the driver disk and press enter. 7. follow instructions to finish installation. 8. after the driver has loaded select ? accept configuration shown above ? and press enter. 9. follow the instructions, it will ask you to insert several of your original windows 3.1 disks and close. notes: a. for color displays you must install this driver for the 256 color mode . if the 16 color mode is acceptable for your application you do not have to install this driver, select the windows 3.1 standard vga or vga 3.0 driver. b. for monochrome displays there is no need to load the 256 color driver. select windows 3.1 standard vga or vga 3.0 driver. c. for windows 95 applications please consult the sales office.
