interfacing with a hard-copy printer, magnetic
tape recorder, or other terminals.

b. The main circuit board which contains all
elements of the ADM-3A except monitor,
power switch, line fuse and transformer, and
beeper speaker. The keyboard consists Of
integrated key rows and is built directly on the
main circuit board.

d. Provides for full-duplex or half-duplex
communications, through either an RS-232C
or current-loop interface.

The main circuit board rests on supports
within the base and is held in place by guide
pins. Two connectors on the rear edge of the
board provide the RS-232C and current loop
(optional printer port) interface at both the
main and extension ports.

e. Permits 202 communications line turnaround
by means of either EOT or ETX codeturnaround (in which the controlling device
transmits a turnaround code to give control to
the device at the other end of the line), or
secondary-channel turnaround (in which a
secondary channel selection establishes
control of a device for data transmission
through the primary channel).

c. The CRT monitor which compnses three
subassemblies,.as follows:

f. Allows the operator to select between a double
underline cursor which enters data on the
bottom line, or a reverse block cursor homed
at the top left of the screen.

INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL

This section contains information to aid in installing
the ADM-3A and preparing it for use. Included are
instructions and information for inspecting the
ADM-3A, installing it in a suitable environment,
setting internal switches, connecting cables, and
turning-on power.

The unit is designed to sit on a table or desk top, or
any other suitable hard, flat surface.
CAUTION

In cold climates, care should be exercised
to allow the temperature of the terminal
to equalize with room temperature before
removing the unit from the shipping
carton; this will prevent moisture from .
condensing on a cold terminal exposed to
warm air. Avoid operating the unit on a
soft surface, such as carpeting, which
would obstruct the flow of cooling air up
through the bottom of the chassis. This
could result in overheating and damage
to the unit.

2.2 VISUAL INSPECTION
It is recommeded that you save the original shipping

carton and all packing materials to prevent damage
should you wish to transport or ship the terminal.
Carefully inspect your ADM-3A for signs of
damage during shipping. The terminal has
undergone stringent quality inspections and
operational tests prior to shipping; it left the factory
in perfect operating condition ..
If the

unit is damaged, notify the carrier
immediately. Save the damaged shipping container.
as evidence for inspection by the carrier.

2.4 SETTING INTERNAL SWITCHES

Twelve slide switches located inside the ADM-3A
case on the printed circuit logic boar.d are used to
select various terminal operating characteristics.
These switches are set at the factory during preshipping checkout according to operating
parameters specified by the customer when ordering
the terminaL Only the parameters listed on the
Ordering Form packed inside the shipping carton
have been selected at the factory. Any required
switch setting changes should be made before
attempting to operate the terminal. Locations of the
internal switches are shown in Figure 2-1.

Only the consignee may register a claim with the
carrier for damage during shipment. However, Lear
Siegler Data Products will cooperate fully with the
customer should such action be necessary.
2.3 INSTALLATION

The ADM -3A is designed to operate in a wide range
of environmental conditions:
5-55°C (41-122°F), 5-95% relative humidity
without condensation.

In the OFF position, this switch selects the standard
double-underline cursor. In this mode, data is
entered from the bottom of the screen.

ADV

In SPACE position, selects destructive cursor.
Pressing the space bar or receiving a space code
AL WAYS overwrites the display memory location
with a space code and advances the cursor.

Upward scrolling and top-of-the-page overflow
occur when a full line of data has been entered from
the bottom .line in either mode.

In ADV position, selects non-destructive cursor
between a Return and subsequent Line Feed only;
the cursor may be advanced but a space code does
not overwrite display memory locations. The space
code is destructive between a Line Feed and the next
Return.

characters only. Lower case codes are transmitted as
such but are converted to upper case for display. If
lower case is not installed or if it is not to be utilized,
the switch must stay in the UC DISP position.

These three switches are used to select ADM-3A
operation for one of the following methods of
interfacing to the computer: (1) without modems
(direct, local connection), (2) with 103-type
modems, or (3) with 202-type modems. The
appropriate switch is set (left position) accordirig to
. the connection method used; the other two switches
rriust be set to the OFF positions.

SECTION 3
OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL

This section contains information and instructions
for using the ADM-3A keyboard facilities, and for
programming control functions at the computer.
The keyboard allows the operator to generate and
transmit to the computer (andl or auxiliary device)
all 128 USASCII character codes.

If the front panel SPACE-ADV switch is in the
ADV position, the space code is non-destructive
after typing the RETURN key; that is, the operator
or computer can space over data on the line without
overwriting each character with a space. The space
bar remains non-destructive following a RETURN
function until a LINE FEED code is generated.

3.2 DISPLAYING CHARACTERS

LINE FEED Key

A code is generated by this key which causes the
cursor to move downward one line. If the cursor was
on the bottom line, the entire display will scroll
upward one line. LINE FEED does not return the
cursor to the first character position of the new line.

In the standard ADM-3A, 64 characters are
displayed on the screen (upper case alphabet,
numbers and most symbols and punctuation).
When a non-displayable lower case character is
typed, the proper lower case code is transmitted but
the character is displayed as upper case.

SHIFT Keys

If your terminal cOl).tains the Upper I Lower Case
Display feature, 95 characters will be displayed
(upper and lower case alphabet, numbers and all
punctuation and symbols).

Either of the two SHIFT keys is held down while
typing another key to generate upper case
alphabetic characters or to generate the character
shown in the upper portion of a typed key.
NOTE

NOTE

Setting the "LC EN - UC" switch under
the front panel ID plate to the UC
position causes upper case alphabetic
characters to be generated with or
without the SHIFT key depressed. The
SHIFT key remains' operational for all
n'on-alphabetic keys.

Typing at the keyboard always generates
codes which are transmitted; however, in
order for characters to be displayed and
control codes to affect the ADM-3A
display the codes must be echoed back to
the ADM-3A display memory and
control logic, either by the computer
(FDX) or the ADM-3A I/O Channel
(HDX).

RUB (Rubout) Key

When typed while holding down the SHIFT key
transmits a non-displayable Rubout code (ASCII
DEL) to the computer. The cursor is not advanced
and the character code stored in the ADM-3A
display memory is not overwritten.

All display actions described in the key
descriptions that follow assume the
generated codes are echoed.

The Rubout function is normally used to tell the
computer that a previous character should be
deleted.

3.3 SPECIAL FUNCTION KEYS

The lower case RUB key transmits I displays an
underline.

In addition to the displayable character keys, the
ADM-3A keyboard contains a number of other
keys for various terminal and system control
functions. Use of these keys is described below;

REPT (Repeat) Key

When held down while pressing a character key,
repeats the character at a rate of 12.5 per second. (If
the terminal is operating at a baud rate that will not
permit 12.5 cps transmission, the repeat rate is
reduced to the transmission rate.)

RETURN Key

A code is generated by this key which moves the
cursor to the first character position of the line.

3-1

Space Bar

column-code (SPACE through 0) to complete the
sequence. In any mde, causes the ASCII ESCape
code to be transmitted to the computer.

The Space Bar is considered a displayable character
key.

CLEAR Key

Causes the ASCII code for a spaceto be transmitted
and stored in the ADM-3A display memory and a
blank space to appear on the screen. (For the only
exceptions see RETURN Key).

Typing the CLEAR key while holding down the
SHIFT key clears the entire screen to spaces. (This
function may be disabled by the internal CLEAR
SCREEN - DISABLE Switch.)

CTRL (Control) Key

HERE IS Key

When held down while typing another key, modifies
the code pattern of the typed key. The code is forced
to one of the two control code columns in the ASCII
Code chart.

If your terminal is equipped with the Automatic
Answer Back feature, typing this key transmits an
identification message (stored in theADM-3A in a
special memory) to identify your terminal and alert
the computer that a message is to follow.

The ADM-3A is capable of generating all 32
possible ASCII codes, although only 14 of. them
have a function within the machine. These are listed
in Table 3-1.

In terminals without Automatic Answer Back
capability, this key has no function.
BREAK Key

Backspace (CTRL/H). Each time the H key is
typed while holding down the CTRL key, the cursor
moves non-destructively one character position to
the left. The CTRL/ H backspace code is
transmitted to the computer. CTRL/ H may be used
in conjunction with the Repeat key.

This key activates the standard teletypewriter Break
function, normally used to interrupt an incoming
messa~e.

NOTE

The Break function is sustained as long as
the BREAK key is held down. Holding
the key down for an extended period may
cause the computer to disconnect from
your terminal.

Bell (CTRL/G) Sounds the audible beep in the
ADM-3A and transmits the CTRL/ G bell code.
UPLINE (CTRL/K)

When in the Cursor Control Mode, causes the
reverse-block cursor to move upward one line.

3.4 PROGRAMMING & WORD STRUCTURE

Return (CTRL/M). Duplicates the function of the
RETURN key.

The computer to which the ADM-3A is interfaced
has full control over the terminal. All control
functions which are possible from the ADM-3A
keyboard, plus a few additional functions, can also
be executed from the computer.

- Line Feed (CTRL/J). Duplicates the function of
the LINE FEED key.
Lock K~yboard (CTRL/O). Electrically locks
(disables) the ADM-3A keyboard, preventing any
further keyboard activities. The keyboard can be
unlocked by a control code from the computer,
clearing the screen with the CLR key or by turning
power off, then on again.

The computer controls the ADM-3A by transmitting the appropriate ASCII codes. Displayable
character codes will be displayed, and valid control
codes will be recognized and acted upon.
3.4.1 Remote Control Functions

FORWARD SPACE (CTRL/M)

.

The remote computer can perform the following
control functions:

When in the Cursor Control Mode, causes the
reverse block cursor to advance.

Backspace BS (CTRL/H). Moves the cursor
non-destructively one character position to the
left.

HOME CURSOR (RS)
When in the Cu,rsor Control Mode, causes the
reverse block cursor to return to the upper left
corner of the screen.

Bell BEL (CTRL/G). Sounds the audible beep in
the ADM-3A.

ESCAPE KEY (ESC)
When in Cursor Control Mode, initiates a loadcursor sequence. ESC must be followed by an =
character, a row code (SPACE through 7) and a

Return CR (CTRLlM) Moves the cursor nondestructively to the first character position of the
present line.

3-2

Clear Screen SUB (CTRL/Z). Clears all
character positions in the ADM-3A display
memory and clears the screen to blank spaces.
(This function maybe disabled by the internal
(DISABLE - CLEAR SCREEN switch.)

Line Feed LF (CTRL/J). Causes the entire
display to move upward one line, leaving the
cursor positioned in the same character position
on the next new line.
Upline (VT) - Moves cursor up vertically when
in Cursor Control Mode.

Home Cursor (HOME) - Causes the cursor to
return to the upper left corner of the screen, when
in the Cursor Control Mode.

Forward Space (FF) - Moves cursor forward
when in Cursor Control Mode.

Load Cursor (ESC = YX) - This four-character
sequence causes the cursor to be positioned to the
row and column defined by the ASCII values of Y
and X respectively.

Lock Keyboard SI (CTRL/O). Electrically
locks the ADM-3A keyboard, disabling all
keyboard functions.

The Reference Tables 3-1 and 3-2 of this manual
show the actual binary codes generated by the
ADM-3A and used for computer control of the
terminal.

Unlock Keyboard SO (CTRLlN). Unlocks the
ADM-3A keyboard, restoring all keyboard
functions.

The data character may be 7 bits in length, with or
without an optional parity bit generated on
transmission:

3.4.2 Data Character Format

The ADM-3A uses USASCII (United States of
America Standard Code for Information Interchange). USASCII is a· 7-bit code. But because
many of the computers and other devices to which
the ADM-3A may be interfaced use 8-bit words
(plus parity or without parity), the ADM-3A offers
a wide choice of word formats selectable by the user.

by the user.

When the start bit is received, a clock signal is
initiated to clock in the remainder ofthe word. The
one or two stop bits are used to signify the end ofthe
word and terminate the receive clock.

3.4.3 Data Transmission Format

Generally, transmission rates of 110 baud and lower
use two stop bits, and rates of 150 and higher use one
stop bit.

The ADM-3A uses asynchronous transmISSIOn.
This means each character is transmitted as a
complete, self-contained message consisting of the
data character with or without parity, preceded by a
start bit and followed by one or two stop bits.

The ADM-3A control codes and the USASCII code
set are shown in tables 3-1 and 3-2, respectively.

SECTION 4
THEORY OF OPERATION
4.1 GENERAL

4.2.2 Display Refresh Operation

This section describes the manner in which the
ADM-3A performs its different functions. Logic is
first described with reference to an overall block
diagram, and then each element shown in the block
diagram is described with reference to specific
illustrations and to logic diagrams contained III
Section 6 of this manual (Drawings).

Except when received data is being loaded, the
contents of the refresh memory (an entire "page" of
data) are continuously presented on the screen.
Memory address logic requires only sequential
character and row counts (CCn and RCn) to read
out the memory conten.ts to the storage latches.
Each character read from the refresh memory is
stored for presentation to the ROM character
memory (and to data transmitter logic for read-back
test operation).

4.2 GENERAL FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION

The general organization of logic in ADM-3A is
shown in figure 4-1. This figure divides ADM-3A
logic into functional blocks and shows the
relationships between blocks. It also indicates the
sheet of the logic diagram on which logic in any
block is detailed.

The ROM character generation decodes the stored
USASCII-coded character and produces a five-bit
output specifying dots to be displayed for each dot
row. That is, the character is presented to the ROMs
for each dot row as the character row is generated.
The count CCn selects the dot pattern for each dot
row.

4.2.1 Display Generation

Signals that cause a display to be generated and
maintained on the screen are furnished by a string of
counters (display counter logic).

4.2.3 Monitor Video and Drive Circuits

The 5-bit dot row data read from the ROM
character generator is presented to the monitor
video circuits as a serial data stream, continuous
except during CRT retrace periods. Character
position and row counts are used to generate CRT
sweep drive signals, with horizontal drive triggered
by the start of each dot row, and vertical drive
triggered when the character row count reaches 12
(standard) or 24 (optional).

The first counter (the dot counter) is clocked by
pulses from an oscillator. This clock is the primary
timing signal in the ADM-3A. The purpose of the
dot counter is to time the presentation of the
sequential address to the character generator and
the presetting of the video serializer. Each increment
of the counter defines the position of a single dot in
any line (dot row) of any character in the display.
Any character is made up of a 5 x 7 array of dots
(figure 4-2). A character position is seven dots wide
and nine dots high to provide 2-dot spacing between
characters both horizontally and vertically.

4.2.4 Receiving and Storing Data

Data transmission rates are selected in the ADM3A to match those devices on the other end of the
line. Baud rates are derived from the LSB of the dot
count, DC 1. The receive clock and the transmit
clock may be the same or different rates (split baud
rate option).

A single horizontal sweep of the CRT beam
produces all dots in a given dot row for all
characters in the character row. The character dot
counter is incremented for every seventh dot column
to define the position of each character in the row.
At the end of each dot row, the line counter is
incremented and the next dot row is scanned out.
The character row counter is incremented. by every
ninth dot line to define the position of the next
. character row.

Received data is clocked into the refresh memory,
which is addressed by memory address logic. The
memory address, during loading, is formed by
summing the Cursor Row Position Count (CRn)
which represents the true position of the cursor on
the screen, and the Offset Count (OCn), which
represents the number of lines (since Reset) that the
display has scrolled. The virtual address which is
thus derived corresponds to the refresh address for
that data row. The Refresh Address is determined

The four display counter outputs control memory
addressing, character generation, and many other
functions of ADM-3A logic.

by another circuit which sums the current Display
Row Count (RCn) and the Offset Count (OCn).

4.2.6 Keyboard Logic
The keyboard and associated logic are used to
compose data for display and simultaneous
transmission. As a character is typed by the
operator, it appears (as KCn) at data transmitter
logic, and (in half-duplex transmission) is loaded
into the refresh memory for display. In full-duplex,
communications characters originating at the keyboard appear on the display only if they are echoed
back fiom the computer or modem.

Received commands are decoded and used to
control ADM-3A logic. Commands include Line
Feed, Backspace, Carriage Return, and other
functions.

4.2.5 Cursor Generation
The cursor marks the position on the display in
which the next character will appear. When the
Cursor Control switch is in the OFF position, data
will be entered in the bottom row: Line Feed will
cause the display to roll upward. The cursor is
formed by displaying five dots in the eighth and
ninth dot rows of the character position in which it
rests. Cursor information is ORed into video output
logic along with character bits read from the ROMs.

4;2.7 Data Transmitter Logic

Data transmitter logic receives characters generated
at the keyboard (or generated at optional
answerback logic and put on KCn lines) and
converts the seven-bit character into serial-bit form
along with start, parity, and stop bits, and sends the
formatted data word to the modem or computer.

When the Cursor Control is in the <9N position, the
reverse block cursor is a 7 x 9 dot figure containing
the reverse image of the character upon which the
cursor currently resides.

In read-back test operation, the contents of the
memory buffer (CBUFn) may be accepted for
transmission in the same manner as data on the KCn
lines.

The cursor position code WCn is used to address the"
refresh memory in read-back test operation.

4.2.8 Interface Control Logic

the text, as well as to the logic diagram included in
Section 6 in this manual.

This logic controls Clear-to-Send and Request-toSend exchanges between modem or computer and
the ADM-3A. Either a .. code-turnaround. or a
reverse-channel system may be used to transfer
control ftom one end of the communication line to
the other.

4.3.1 General Clear Circuit

Circuits shown on sheet 7 of the logic diagram cause
all control logic in the ADM-3A to be initialized
when applied power causes the +5V dc supply' to
rise.

Switches adapt the logic to interface with the
common type 103 or 202 modems, or to operate
under internal control.

As the supply voltage reaches trigger level of a
retriggerable one-shot, the one-shot creates the reset
signal CLEAR, which is distributed to ADM-3A
logic through six inverters. In circuit board testing,
the signal TESTER INITIALIZE simulates the
action of the one-shot.

4.2.9 CRT Display Monitor

The CRT display monitor employed in the ADM3A is a solid-state unit for use in industrial and
commercial installations where reliability and highquality video reproduction are desired.

4.3.2 Display Counters

The display countess provide a count of dot
positions and dot rows, character position in a
character line, and character rows. These counts
define the position of each dot ina character matrix,
and the position of each character in the total
display. Figure 4-3 is a block diagram of this logic,
and timing is shown in figure 4-4.

The monitor features printed circuit board
construction for reliability and uniformity. All
circuits of the TV monitor are transistorized.
4.3 LOGIC DESCRIPTION,

The following paragraphs describe the operation of
logic represented by each block in the overall block
diagram, figure 4-1, as well as logic and circuits
performing functions not indicated in Figure 4-1.
Refer to block and timing diagrams that accompany

The basic clock is a 1O.8864-MHz signal generated
by a simple oscillator circuit. The clock frequency is
twice the video frequency. The clock (CLK) drives
the dot counter. .

The dot counter counts the seven dot columns
comprising each character. The character is preset
to 10 at the count of zero, counts through the
overflow at 15, and is again preset at zero. Its final
count, DC3,' clocks successive addresses to the
character ROMs, and triggers the character
position counter.

nine. Counts 0 and 8 form spaces between
characters, and dot rows are formed by counts 1
through 7. The last count, LC3, clocks the character
row counter at a frequency of 1.8 KHz.
The character row counter counts the 24 character
rows appearing vertically on the display, and counts
through vertical retrace time (six counts for a 60-Hz
power line, and 12 counts for a 50-Hz line). A switch
(60 EN) sets up logic to produce RCRESETat the
proper time, resetting the counter to zero to begin
the next character row count.

The eight-stage character position counter controls
the position of each character on the 80-character
raster line, and controls horizontal retrace time. The
counter provides a total count of 96 (80 counts for
character position, and 16 count for the retrace).
The character position counter counts from zero to
79, presets to 240, counts through the overflow at
255, and then wraps to zero, Outputs CCO through
CC6 are binary counts, but CC7 has a value of 80.
That is, CC7 is low while 80 character positions are
counted, and high during retrace time.

4.3~3

The Row Counter (Figure 4-5 and Logic sheet 3)
defines the actual row in which the cursor resides,
and consequently, the row in which new data
entered into memory will appear on the screen. This
counter will be cleared to zero on 24-line, and dn
12-line mode by a power-up clear, key-clear
operation, or a clear screen command, irrespective
of the position of the Cursor Control switch.

A flip-flop produces the signal ECC80 for the first
count of retrace time. ICC80 indicates the time at
which a command at the 110 interface may be acted
upon. The output of the LCCLK flip-flop clocks the
character line counter.

The Offset Counter relates absolute memory
addresses, during data entry and refresh, to the
virtual (apparent visual) row addresses which are
generated by scrolling operations. The OC, like the

The character line counter counts the lines that form
each row of characters. The counter counts module

when "added" to the odd Row Count will still result
in an odd virtual address.

RC, is initially cleared by anyone of the clear-screen
operations noted above, however, a sequence is then
initiated by the START logic, which causes spacecodes to be written into each character cell of the
current row during first 80 character-periods of one
line-scan period. At the end of the line-scan, CC80
will generate a line-feed signal, DNLINEA, which
will increment the Oc. The process is then repeated,
with the OC pointing to the next row of memory
addresses, which are also filled with space-codes.

Figure 4-6 Shows the timing for the Clear Screen
Operation. The timing for Key Clear or power-on
clear operations is identical to that shown, except
that in the latter two situations, ST ART is forced
high without benefit of DOIT.
4.3.4 Column Counter Logic

After 24 such operations (12, if the 12/24 select
switch is closed), the OCLOD signal is generated,
which terminates the START operation, and freezes
the OC at a count of zero (1, if in 12-line mode). At
this point, both the Rowand Offset counters will
contain "minimum count" (zero in 24-line, and 1 in
12-line mode), and the true and virtual rowaddresses will be the same. (MS-A).

The Column Counter (figure 4-8 andlogic sheet 4)
and its associated logic define the character-position
of the cursor, irrespective of the current cursor
mode. The counter is bidirectional, to
accommodate both backspace and forespace
operations, and is capable of being loaded, via an
associated multiplexor, with either of two fixed
values, or a variable position-code which is obtained
as the last character of the four-part Load Cursor
sequence.

After completion of a clear operation, the Offset
Counter will be disabled until the Row Counter has
been advanced or set to 23 (bottom row). If the
Cursor Control switch is open (ENX true), line-feed
signals (DNLINEB) will be sent to the Row Counter
each CC80 time, until a count of 23 has been
reached. At this point, the Row Counter will be
disabled until either the Cursor Control switch is
closed or another Clear is performed, and the Offset
Counter will be enabled.

Back-spacing (count-down) is affected only by a
local or remote backspace command (BKSP), while
forWard-spacing may be accomplished by either a
character-entry, a forespace command or a 'Read'
operation. All received characters will cause a
forespace after the character is written into memory,
except control characters and the three non-control
characters which follow ESC during a Load Cursor
sequence. For both character-entry and forespace
commands (FF), the counter is advanced during
CC80 time. During Read operations (test only), a
forespace is generated each time XLOAD occurs,
indicating, the initiation of character transmission.

If the Cursor Control switch is closed, the Row

Counter will remain at minimum count after a clear
operation, and will respond to any downline, upline,
Home and absolute (load cursor) row directives. In
the same manner as when Cursor Control is off,
downline directives which occur when the Row
Counter is at 23 will be routed to the Offset Counter;
causing it to increment; and scroll the entire display·
by adding a difference of one unit between the true
and virtual row addresses.

The Column Counter is cleared in anyone of four
situations:
a. A Carriage Return (CR) command is
received, either from the keyboard or a
remote source.

Whereas the Offset Counter can only be
incremented (DNLINEA), the Row Counter can be
incremented, decremented, cleared or loaded with
an absolute value (DNLINEB, VT, ROWCLR,
LDROW). In the event a value in excess of 23 is
loaded, the counter will be cleared to minimum
count. If the Row Counter is decremented when it
currently holds the minimum count, BORROW will
occur, and the counter will be forced back to
minimum count (ROWCLR). ROWCLR is also
generated if a HOME (RS), directive is received.

b. A Home (RS) command is received.
c. An underflow occurs, due to attempts to
back-space from column O.
d. A start-sequence is initiated by one of the
power-up / clear operations.
When the Column Counter is incremented past the
80th column-count (code=79), an overflow signal is
generated, causing an absolute count value to be
loaded· into the counter at the next LCCLK
. transition (CC81-time).If the auto-new-line switch
is open, a 7910 code will be loaded, forcing the cursor
back to the last column position. If auto-newline is
closed, a zero-code will be loaded (carriage return)
and a line-feed enable signal (BOFLO) will be

Both counters, when in 12-line mode, have the least
significant bit forced true, and all increment or
decrement directives will affect only the higher
order bits. In this mode, therefore, only odd virtual
addresses will be accessible. Note, that scrolling the
display will still produce only odd addresses, since
the Offset Counter will count in units of two, which

mixing the coincidence signal with the character
video to obtain a representation determined by the
Cursor-mode switch. The logic consists of a set of
three comparators, a pair of unit-delay flip-flops
and video mixing circuits. One comparator relates
the current cursor row, as defined by the cursor Row
Counter, to the Display Row Count. When_
coincidence occurs, an equality signal (ROWCOA)
is generated.

When the code in the Column Counter reaches 7110,
the signal LINE END is generated. This signal, like
a received BEL-code, will cause the Beepertosound
a tone, announcing the approach of the end-of-line.
If the Cursor Control switch is on (EN X-true) and a
Load Cursor sequence is performed, the Column
Counter multiplexor will select the DATA lines
from the Received Data Buffer, and the Columncode on these lines will be loaded into the counter at
CC80 time. The two most significant bits ofthe code
(DA T A6 and DATA 7) are modified in order that
ASCII codes space (0408) through LIC "0" (1378)
are interpreted as column codes 0008 through 1178.
In the event a translated code greater than 1178 (7910)
is loaded, the OVERFLOW logic will force the
counter either back to_1178 (Auto-Newline off) or
0008 (Auto-Newline on).

If the Cursor Control switch is off, row-equality is

forced true, since the cursor will always reside on the
bottom line. If the switch is on, ROWCOA is gated
to the two column comparators. The two column
comparators relate the 7-bit WC counter code to the
Display Column Count. When coincidence occurs,
and ROWCOG is true indicating row-coincidence,
an equality signal will be sent to the delay flip-flops.
If the Cursor Control switch is off, the delay flipflops will be enabled only during the period when
the counters are scanning the two likes immediately
below the 24th row of data, whereas in the on
position the flip-flops will always be enabled. In the
enabled condition, the flip-flops will delay the
detected coincidence signal two character periods,
to synchronize the cursor with the displayed
characters on the screen.

Each subsequent scroll operation will, therefore,
cause a successively higher memory-row address to
assume the top display-row position, with the row
previously associated with that position erased and
"rolled" to the bottom position of the display.

With Cursor Control off, no additional mixing is
required, since the double-underscore representation occurs during the period when no characters
are being displayed. With Cursor Control on, the
cursor coincidence signal (CURSOR) is gated with
character-video data in an exclusive-OR element,
causing the cursor to appear as a reverse image of
the character in which position it resides.

The second five-bit adder produces a sum equal to:
Cursor Row Count + Offset Count + I
This function reconciles the current cursor rowposition, which is the row on which new data-entries
must appear on the display, to the scroll-history,
which determines the last memory-row that was
erased and rolled to the bottom ofthe display. If no
scrolling has occurred and the cursor is on the top
row; the resultant sum will be memory-row I, which
is the desired row for data-entry, since that is the
row from which data will be obtained for the top
row of refresh. If the cursor were moved to the
bottom row, the sum would be zero (23 + 0 + I =
24 ~ 0), due to the action of a second adder and
gate set which reconciles all CR + OC + I sums
greater than 23 to values between 0 and 23. This also
is consistent with the refresh adder-set, since any
data entered under these circumstances will be
routed to memory-row zero.

4.3.6 Memory Address Logic

The logic group shown in figure 4-7 and Logic Sheet
5 performs all the functions related to reconciling
the current entry-row (Cursor Row Counter) and
virtual row (Offset Counter) positions to a physical
row-address in memory, and additionally,
converting the visual 80-character by 24-row visual
format to a 64 by 30 byte memory array. The first
task is accomplished by two five-bit and two two-bit
full adders, while the second is performed by a set of
multiplexors.
The first five-bit adder produces a sum equal to:
Display Row Count + Offset Count + 1

As scrolling occurs, the second adder group
maintains the proper relationship between' the
cursor position and the virtual display-rows, such
that data-entry will always occur in the memoryrow which is displayed during the same row-scan
time as the cursor. Consider as another example, a
display which has been scrolled six rows, after which
the cursor is positioned to row 20. The memory-row
actually displayed on row 20 will be:

This function provides th,e required relationship
between current display rows and the virtual rowaddress during refresh scanning, in order that the
data might be displayed on the proper row of the
screen, consistent with the scroll-history since the
last clear-screen operation. If no scrolling has
occurred, the offset count will be zero, and data for
the top row of the display will be obtained at
memory-row 1 (0 + 0 + 1= 1). Likewise, data for
display-row 22 will come from memory-row 23, and
data for the bottom row will come from memoryrow zero. One of the two-bit adders, plus associated
gates, performs the function of reconciling sums
greater than 23 to a 24-row universe, by adding an
appropriate adjustment factor to all such sums (23 +
o + I =24-+0).

20 + 6 + I

=27--+3

If an entry is made at the current cursor position, the
same summation will occur using the Cursor Row
and Offset Counter values, and the entry will be
made in row 3.
The multiplexor section of the Memory Address
Logic manipulates the CR + OCand RC + OC sums
derived above, plus the information from the
Display Column Counter (CCO - CC7) and Cursor
Column Counter (WCO - WC6) in order to resolve
the 80 x 24 display matrix to a 64 x 30 memory
matrix. The first-stage multiplexors distinguish
between Refresh accesses to memory and write
accesses, since the former are governed by the RC +
OC sum and the CC Counter information, while the
latter are governed by the CR + OC sum and the WC
counter.

If the display has been scrolled one time, data for the
top row will be obtained from memory-row 2 (0 + 1+
I = 2) and data for the bottom row from memoryrow I, thus, it can be demonstrated that all the data
in memory will appear to have moved upward on
the display by one row, after the scrolling operation,
even though its actual physical location in memory
is unchanged. The only physical alteration, in this
example, occurs in memory-row I, which is erased
(see section 4.3.8) during the scroll operation,
leaving the new bottom row address locations clear
for new data-entry.

The time-period when CC7 is false is the active
. display-time for each scan-line, and therefore,

4-11

defines Refresh-access time. During horizontal
retrace, when CC7 is true, the memory is available
for data-entry. During test read~back, the first-stage
multiplexor is locked into the "Write" mode in
order to expedite the transfer of information, since
display functions are not necessary during this
operation.

line is 16 characters. The three high-order column
terms (POS4 - POS6) and the four high-order row
terms (LINEI - LINE4), however must be modified
to account for the maximum column-width of the
memory matrix of 64 characters. Accordingly, the
final multiplexor stage uses the column-term POS6
to distinguish between column-positions greater (or
equal to) and less than 64. For positions less than 64,
the high-order address functions MA4 - MA9 are
derived from POS4, POS5 & LINE 1 - LINE4
respectively. This translation provides a direct
relationship between a 24 x 64 section of memory,
and that portion of the display defined by 18WS 023 and columns 0-63. For column positions 64-79,
POS6 switches the multiplexor to derive MA4 MA 7 from LINEl - LINE4, respectively, and forces
MA8 and MA9 true. This translation relates a 6 x 64
section of memory to the last l6 column positions of
the 24 display rows, by allocating one-quarter of
each memory-row, progressively, to the remainder
of each display row. The chip-enable functions
define even and odd display rows and memorygroups, and therefore, require no translation. The
organization of display data in memory, is shown
on figure 4-9.

The most significant posltlon of the CCj WC
multiplexor is used as a selection signal for the
SUMR/ SUMW multiplexor, and in the writephase will always cause selection of SUMW (CR +
OC) for the LINEI - LINE4 and Chip-Enable
functions. In Refresh mode the SUMR (RC + OC)
outputs will normally be selected, however, during
Clear Screen or Line Erase (when scrolling)
operations the term ERASEF will force selection of
the SUMW terms, in order that all erasures can take
place during CC7 time and thereby minimize the
total time required for such operations (See Section
4.3.8).
The selected low-order column terms (MAO - MA3)
require no additional modification, since the
smallest increment of memory allocated to a given

4.3.7 Refresh Memory and Character
ROM Logic

4.3.8 Erase Logic

A display line is erased by the Logic shown on
Schematic pages 3 and 4.

Figure 4-10 shows logic compnsmg the refresh
memory, buffer latches, and character memory
ROMs.

The ERASEF signal is turned on by SETERA.
SETERA describes the condition in which both
PGMOD & LFI are true, causing the offset counter
to begin counting and the lines to scroll each time a
line-feed is caused by the column counter
overflowing (BOFLO).

The refresh memory IS made up of 2K, 7-bit
semiconductor RAM devices m one of four
configurations as follows:
a. Six RAMs. for upper-case only,
display.

l2-line

ERASEF is turned off by CC80A after a single
character row has been cleared, dUl;ing scrolling.

b. Seven RAMs for upper/lower-case, l2-line
display.

However, when START is raised by a CLR SCRN
Code, ERASEF remains high until START is
turned off by an overflow of the offset counter.
Consequently the entire screen is erased.

c. Twelve RAMs for upper-case only, 24-line
display.
d. Fourteen RAMs for upper / lower-case, 24-line
display.

4.3.9 WRITE PULSE Logic

The WRITE PULSE signal clocks the refresh
(RAM) memory. Logic that generates WRITE
PULSE is shown in sheet 4 of the logic diagram.

A switch (UCEN) sets up the logic to operate with,
or without, the lower-case RAMs. UCEN alters
data to adapt the logic for either 6-bit codes (uppercase only) or 7-bit codes (upper/lower case). Term
ERASEF causes the logic to force bit 6 high,
creating a SPACE code in place of the received
NULL cod~.

WRITE PULSE consists of gated pulses clocked by
dot count DC2, and is normally gated on by
FORESPACE (the input of the cursor counter) or
ERASE LINE.

Data from the input buffer (DATA1-DATA7) is
loaded into, or read from, the refresh memory by
address lines MAO-MA9. The memory is clocked,
for each character time, by WRITE PULSE.

The non-destructive space code feature allows
writing a SPACE code (0408) into the RAM
memory any time between a Line Feed (LF) code
and a Carriage Return (CR) code, with writing of
SP ACE inhibited between the CR code and the next
LF code. This permits the computer or operator to
write a display on the screen, issue a CR code, and
space over the previously written data, with the
cursor, without writing over the data.

CHIPENA is low as data is loaded into, or read
from, RAMs storing the 12 odd lines of display
data. CHIPENB enables the RAMs storing the 12
even lines in a 24-line display.
At the end of each character period, DC3 clocks an
addressed characterinto buffer latches which store
the character to be encoded by the ROMs. The
buffer latches are cleared by VIDEO BLANK.
Because CBUF6 is normally inverted, however, a
SP ACE code, rather than NULL, is presented to the
ROMs.

The NO write signal inhibits FORESPACE so that
WRITE PULSE is not generated during. that
period. A switch permits inhibiting the nondestructive space code feature.
4.3.10 Keyboard Logic

Two ROMs decode CBUFn characters and produce
a 5-bit output code that provides the dot pattern for
each line in the character matrix. Each of the seven
lines in the character matrix is identified by the line
count LCO-LC2. The parallel-bit information
output by the ROMs is serialized for presentation to
the video monitor.

Keyboard logic is shown on sheet 9 of the logic
diagram (except for lock/unlock logic shown on
sheet 10). Timing of keyboard logic functions is
shown in figure 4-11.

One ROM contains upper-case characters, and the
other contains lower-case characters. Select logic
senses states of CBUF6 and CBUF7 to enable either
ROM device.

The keyboard is encoded by generating the
complete sequence of 7-bit USASCII codes at high
speed, and trapping the code that matches a
depressed key. The codes are generated continually
and repetitively unless a key is pressed. The code
sequence is clocked at a counter by KBCLK, which
is the gated.character rate signal CCO.

CBUFn is available at data transmitter logic for
transmission in read-back test operation.

The four least-significant bits of the count (KC 1KC4) encode the 16 rows of the USASCII code

The Break function is maintained for as long as the
key is held down. The signal BREAK appears at
interface control logic where it forces the primary
data transmit line to the "space" state if the unit is
transmitting, or forces the secondary transmit line
to the "mark" state if data is being received and the
interface is in the secondary-channel mode of
operation.

chart. The three remaining bits (KC5-KC7) encode
the eight columns of the chart.
When no key is depressed, KEY DATA is high and
KBCLK cycles the counter, and bounce logic holds
BOUNCE high. When a key is depressed and then
the corresponding code appears on lines KCI-KC7,
KEY DATA falls, preventing generation of further
KBCLK pulses so that the code is held on KCn lines.
KEY DATA also causes GO to rise, causing bounce
logic to count 900H) RCO pulses until a fifth pulse
has completed a 5.56-msec delay period.

When the CLEAR key is pressed, and the SHIFT
key is also depressed (SHIFT EN), KEY CLR clears
keyboard lock logic, the refresh memory, and
interface control logic.

At the end of the key-bounce delay period,
BOUNCE becomes true, inhibiting further counts
of RCO. If the key is released, KEY DATA
immediately rises and counter cycling resumes. If
the key is held down, along with the REPT (Repeat)
key, however, the high BOUNCE signal permits
RCRESET pulses (at the ac power line frequency)
to clock the bounce delay period, generating the GO
signal at a rate of 12.5 characters per second at 60Hz, or 10 characters per second ata 50-Hz line rate.
Consequently, the character is repeated at that rate
until either. key is released.

The HERE IS key activates an optional Answer
Back functiQn which causes a unique, fixed message
to be sent to the computer. The message, up to 32
characters long, is contained in a PROM device.
Either the level from the HERE IS key, or an ENQ
command received from the computer, causes the
IDENT signal to activate logic on the AnswerBack
board.
Keyboard lock logic (sheet 5) permits the computer
to enable or disable the keyboard logic. The
KBLOCK signal is set-enabled locally by KEY
CLR, or by the decoded UNLOCK command, and
reset-enabled by the decoded LOCK command.
Keyboard lock logic by CC80. KBLOCK prevents
DOlT from generating GO, inhibiting .any
keyboard action. A switch permits holding
KBLOCK true regardless of received LOCK
commands.

The term TH RE limits the repeat rate if the period
of the selected baud rate creates a character time
longer than the repeat cycle.
When the CTRL (control) key is pressed, bits KC6A
and KC7 A are forced to zero, forcing any generated
code'into column 0 or I of the USASCII code chart.
Bit KC5A selects either column 0 (when false) or
column I (when true). For example, when the "2"
key is pressed (0110010) along with CTRL, the
effective code becomes control code DC2 (00 I00 I 0).

4.3.11 Beeper Logic

Beeper logic (sheets 3 & 4 of the logic diagram)
produces an audible signal as a near-end warning.
The signal that drives the speaker is the character
row rate LC2, which has a rate of 3.6 KHz.

With either SHIFT key depressed, bit 6 (KC6A) is
inverted to select upper-case alpha characters
(USASCII column 4 or 5, instead of column 6 or 7).
Also, INVERT 5 selects codes in USASCII column
2 instead of column 3, to encode the "upper-case"
symbols on numeral and symbol keys. Terms Co.L2
and COL3 identify- those codes in the shift logic.
Row 0 codes in columns 2 and 3 (SP and 0) are
excluded from this action because they have no
"upper case"functions.

The rate LC2 is enabled to the speaker during the
"on" period of a one-shot circuit. The one-shot is
triggered on by WRITE CHAR as the 71st
character is written in any line (WCO WCI WC2
WC3 WC6). The one-shot is triggered when a BEL
code is received at the 110 interface.

The UPPER CASE key is used in units that do not
include the lower-case alpha characters. When the
key is depressed, use of the SHIFT key has no effect
on alpha keys. Lower-case alpha codes are encoded
in USASCn columns 6 and .7. Therefore, the gated
term KC6 KC7causes INVERT6 to maintain
upper-case codes without use of the SHIFT key.
Other codes in columns 4 through 7 are identified by
KC7 SHIFT EN which permits normal shifting up
and down.

Because a read-back operation is initiated by BEL
. code, the term READ is used to disable the one-shot
so that the BEL code cannot cause the audible
signal.
The OVERFLOW signal is used to turn;-offthe oneshot when a baud rate higher than 2400 baud is used.
Because the period of the one-shot is greater than
the period between successive 71 st characters in this
case, the beeper would otherwise remain energized
continuously while data is being received:

The BREAK key is depressed to signal the computer
that the operator wishes to terminate data transfer.

4.3.12 Data Receiver and Command Decoder
Logic

The current loop receiver is a bipolar circuit and
responds to current in either direction. The receiver
comprises a rectifier / limiter which drives an optical
coupler, and a single-transistor amplifier driven by
the optical coupler. If the RS232/ CL switch is open,
the amplifier output appears at the OR logic that
furnishes the UART input.

This logic (figure 4-12, schematic 6 & 10) receives
data from· the computer through either a standard
RS232 interface, or a current loop interface. Serial
data is received through the RS 232 interface by an
RS232 receiver which sends the data to an OR
circuit which also receives data from the current
loop receiver.

4.3.13 Data Transmitter Logic

The received serial data, from whatever source, is
clocked into the UART by RECV CLK (at the
selected baud rate). In the UART, each received
character is stored and presented in parallel-bit
form to latches, with the most-significant bit
appearing on the IN7 line. (lN8 is not used in the
ADM-3A.).
.

Data transmitter logic is shown in figure 4-13
(schematic sheets 8, 10 & J2). Data that may be
applied to the transmitter section of the U ART are:
a. Keyboard characters KCn, and the XLOAD
signal from keyboard logic, when READ is
false (normal operation).

The character stored in the U ART is clocked into
latches by INPUT as DATA RDYis output by the
UART (unless ERASEF inhibits INPUT). INPUT
rises -when CC6 occurs at the end of every horizontal
scan. Then LCCLK turns on DOlT, which remains.
on for the next full horizontal scan period during
which the last received command -is executed.

h. Characters of the answer-back message,
applied through KCn lines, when the answerback option is included in the ADM-3A, and
READ is false.
c. The contents of the refresh memory buffer
(CBUFn) when READ is true (in read-back
test operation).

The data character stored in thelatches is decoded
to obtain the different control command signals.
The three least-significant bits are used as chipenable codes and are made effective by DOlT.
Consequently, control commands are not effective
until execution time.

The UART XMIT CLK that clocks the UART is
the gated XMIT CLK selected at baud rate select
logic and is 16 times the baud rate. The U ART is
loaded from XDAT An lines by LOA ART, which is
normally high.

If the BREAK key is depressed, the XMIT DATA
line is forced to the high (SPACE) level.

The UART XMIT CLK is enabled when CLR TO
SEND appears at the interface, and further
controlled by TRE. TRE and THRE are output by
the UART. THRE falls when XDATA loads the
holding register in the UART. If the serializer
(which is loaded from the holding register) is empty,
TRE is high. With the holding register full and the
serializer empty, the UART automatically transfers
the character into the serializer: At this time THRE
rises, ready to accept the next character, and TRE
falls to indicate that the serializer is busy. Both
THRE and TRE are high when the U ART holds no
data.

Data is sent through either the RS232 or current
loop interface, depending on the position of the
RS232/ CL switch. The unselected interface
maintains a marking level. The RS232 interface
comprises a simple driver. The current loop
interface uses an optical coupler to couple the TTL
data to an amplifier, and then through a diode
output network to the current loop.
The optical coupler completely isolates the current
loop transmitter from the ADM",3A. One leg of the
current loop may be tied through a register to +12V
dc to create a current source. As an alternative, a
ground strap may be used instead of the resistor, to
act as a sink for an external positive source, or a
current source for an external negative voltage.

Transmit clock logic is reset by the next Request to
Send (RTS) signal from the interface.
Five switches permit formatting the transmitted
character. First transmitted is always the Start bit,
followed by the seven data bits (LBS first). The
parity bit, odd or even, then follows (if enabled);
followed by one or two Stop bits.

4.3.14 Video Blanking and Serializer Logic

Logic that controls blanking during horizontal and
vertical retrace time, and converts the parallel-bit
ROM outputs .to a serial bit stream, is shown in
figure 4-14.

The serial bit stream is ORed to transmitter circuits
through a gate which also receives data which may
appear (fromanother device) at an extension port.

4.3.15 Monitor Drive Logic

Terms CC7, POSI5, and RC5 control blanking for
row counts of 32 and higher, and are effective only
when the ADM-3A is operating at a vertical rate of
50-Hz (the count reaches only 29 in 60-Hz
operation). For counts below 32, term RC=24j 31
controls blanking.

This logic (shown on sheet 7 of the logic diagram)
generates signals that trigger horizontal and vertical
drive cycles in the monitor. To obtain the horizontal
drive signal HD RIVE, character position counts are
decoded to set HDRIVE false at the start of a row.
HDRIVE is set true one count after the rise of CC7
to start the video retrace period.

Terms RCO and 24EN cause all even-numbered
character rows to be blanked if the ADM-3A is
operating with a 12-line display.
In every case, VIDEO BLANK is clocked to the
memory buffer latches by BDC3 as the current
character is completed. VIDEO BLANK clears the
buffer latches but, because bit 6 is normally
inverted, the USASCII SPACE code is presented to
the ROMs, instead of NULL.

The vertical drive cycle is begun by VDRIVE. This
signal is generated by decoding character row
counts RCn, and setting theVDRIVE flip-flop one
count after the last character of the last line has been
written. The flip-flop is clocked by the HDRIVE
signal for the line just completed.

During a read-back test operation, READ blanks
the video but permits sending CBUFn data to
transmitter logic.
.

The level 60EN controls timing for 50-Hz or 60-Hz
power lines. Refer to figure 4-4 for timing diagrams.

The video serializer is an 8-bit shift register. Term
DC3 loads it with the ROM output character bits
every 643 nsec, and the bits are shifted (by CLK) at a
rate of 10.8864 MHz. The shift register output is
ORed with cursor information to produce the
MONITOR VIDEO signal. The video level
adjustment potentiometer is located at these
circuits.

The basic clock used in this logic is the 3. 1104-MHz
pulse stream DC1, which originates at the display
dot counter. The 3 binary counters divide pulse rates
by 5, 16 and 16 respectively except when an 1800 or
110 baud rate is selected. These rates (from 7519,200 baud) are obtained from the counters and are
selected by means of a BA un RATE Switch.

e. If only the 202 switch is closed, RTS may be
controlled through the ADM-3A interface in
either code-turnaround, or reverse-channel
operation.

When BA UD RATE switch 1800 is on, the 3 binary
counters divide pulse rates by 6, 9 and 16
respectively and CLK5 is selected as the double
clock.

4.3.17.1 Code-Turnaround Control. Either an
ETX code or an EOT code may be selected to
initiate turnaround, depending on the position of
the ETX-EOT switch. When the selected code
appears in the input data, LATCHED CODE is set.
When CARRIER DETECT falls (figure 4-16),
indicating that the 'remote end of the'line has
dropped, R TS is set.

When BA UD RATE switch 110 is on, the counters
divide the pulse rate by 5, 16 and 11 respectively and
CLK9 is selected as the double clock.
The double clock rate is divided by flip-flips to
provide the RECV CLK and XMIT CLOCK
signals. Normally, both flip-flops are clocked at the
same rate. However, when a split clock is required,
the XMIT CLOCK may be derived from another
rate selected by means of a rotary switch located
inside the ADM-3A case.

R TS is reset when ETX or EOT is again decoded,
and the logic switches to the receive mode.
Following a turnaround command, no further
command will be recognized for approximately 250
msec. This interval gives the modem time to '
propagate its signals. The interval is timed-out by
two flip-flops and a counter, and the signal SBEN
controls resetting of R TS.

When the common clock is used, the rotary switch
must be in position 12. When the split clock is used,
the printed circuit joining clock inputs of both flipflops must be cut.

'4.3.17.2 Reverse-Channel Control. In reversechannel operation R TS is controlled by SEC RECV
DATA (SB) and CARRIER DETECT (CF) from
the modem. When SB goes low, RTS is
unconditionally reset (figure 4-17), switching the
interface to receive data. In normal reverse-channel
receive operation, CF is high at thi~ time, causing
SEC XMIT DATA to rise.
.

NOTE: XMIT CLOCK can be split off only if
the RECV CLOCK is NOT set to 110
or 1800 baud.
4.3.17 Interface Control Logic

Interface control logic appears on sheet 12 of the
logic diagrams. This controls request-to-send and
clear-to-send communications for the ADM-3A.

When the remote end of the line raises SB, and then
drops its RTS (and CF), the ADM-3A turns on its
RTS. The ADM-3A will then ignore further
commands for a 250-msec period while the modem
propagates its signals.

CLR TO SEND (high) permits data transmission
logic to produce UART XMIT CLK, sending data
from the ADM-3. If CLR TO SEND falls while a
byte is being transmitted, TRE maintains the
transmit clock until the byte has been completed,
and then falls to shut off the clock and return the line
to the marking state.

4.3.18 Power Supplies

AC power is applied to the transformer through the
ON / OFF switch on the rear of the ADM-3A. The
different stepped-down ac voltages connect to the
main circuit board through connectors 13 and 14.

REQ TO SEND (RTS) may be controlled in any of
four ways, as follows:
a. R TS may originate at an extension port.

c. If only switch 103 is closed, R TS remains high
all the time.

Rectifiers, filter capacitors, and voltage regulators
are all located on the main circuit board. Three type
7805 devices provide the +5V dc logic supply, and
two type 7815 devices furnish 12V dc to operate
memory devices aad interface drivers.

d. If only the LOCAL switch is closed, signals
THRE and TRE control R TS. R TS rises to '
transmit each character, and falls when the
character has been shifted out ,of the ADM3A.

A -+ 15V dc supply required by the monitor is made
up of a type 7815 device and a simple transistor
shunt regulator. Located at the bottom of the
terminal pan is a primary fuse. It is an 8/10 amp SloBIo 115V fuse or a 4 amp Slo-Blo 230V fuse.

b. If switches 202, 103, and LOCAL are all open
R TS remains low all the time.

4.3.19 CRT Display Monitor Logic

VERTICAL DEFLECTION

VIDEO AMPLIFIER

Transistor Q 102 is a programmable unijunction
transistor, and together with its external circuitry,
forms a relaxation oscillator operating at the
vertical rate. Resistor R115, variable resistor R116
and Capacitors C105 and C106 form an RC
network providing proper timing.

,The video amplifier consists of Q 10 I and its
associated circuitry.
The incoming video signal is applied to the monitor
through the contrast control through R I 09 to the
base of transistor Q 10 1.

When power is applied, CI0S and C106 charge
exponentially through R115 and R116 until the
voltage at the junction of R 116 and C 105 equals the
anode "A" firing voltage. At this time, one of the
unijunction's diodes that is connected between the
anode and anode ga te "G" becomes forward biased
allowing the capacitors to discharge through
another diode junction between the anode gate and
the cathode "K" and on through R120.

Transistor Q101 and its components comprise the
video output driver with a gain of about 17. QlOI,
operating as a class B amplifier, remains cut off until
a DC-coupled, positive-going signal arrives at its
base and turns on the transistor. R III adds series
feedback which makes the terminal-to-terminal
voltage gain relatively independent of transistor
variations as well as stabilizes the device against
voltage and current changes caused by ambient
temperature variations.

R117 and R 118 control the voltage at which the
diode (anode-to-anode gate) becomes forward
biased. This feature "programs" the firing of Q102
and prevents the unijunction from controlling this
parameter. Therefore, the changing of firing points
from one device to another, together with the
temperature dependency of this parameter, is no
longer a problem as it can be with conventional
transistors.

The negative going signal at the collector of Q 10 I is
DC-coupled to the cathode of the CRT. The class B
biasing of the video driver allows a larger video
output .signal to modulate the CR Ts cathode and
results in a maximum available contrast ratio.
The overall brightness at the screen of the CRT is
determined by the negative potential at the grid and
is varied by the brightness control.

Figure 4-17. Interface, Timing for Reverse-Channel Operatiqn

The vertical oscillator is synchronized externally to
the vertical interval from the vertical drive pulse at
R 113. At the time of the vertical interval, an
external negative pulse is applied through R 113,
CI04, and CRIOI to the gate of QI02, causing the
firing level of the unijunction to decrease.

input impedance to QI02, and thereby maintains
excellent impedance isolation between Q 102 and
QI04.
The ~ output waveform from the unijunction
oscillator is not suitable, as yet, to produce a
satisfactory vertical sweep. Such a waveform would
produce severe stretching at the top of the picture
and compression at the bottom. C105 and C106
modify the output waveform to produce
satisfactory linearity. The sawtooth waveform
output at 'Q103 is coupled through R122, the

The sawtooth voltage at the anode of Q 102, is
directly cQupled to the base of Q I 03. Q I 03 is a driver
amplifier and has. two transistors wired as a
Darlington pair; their input and output leads exit as
a three-terminal device. This device exhibits a high

4-23

vertical linearity control RI2I, and on to C106
where the waveform is shaped into a parabola. This
parabolic waveform is then added to the oscillator's
waveform and changes its slope. Slope change rate
is determined by the position of the variable resistor
RI21.

The horizontal output stage has five main functions:
to supply the yoke with the correct horizontal
scanning currents; develop a "C" VDC supply
voltage for use with the CRT; develop a "8" VDC
supply voltage for the video output stage; and
develop a "D" VDC for the CRT bias.

Q103 supplies base current through RI23and RI24
to the vertical output transistor, Q 104. Height
control RI24 varies the amplitude of the sawtooth
voltage present at the base of Q 104 and, therefore,
varies the size of the vertical raster on the CRT.

Q 106 acts as a switch which is turned on or off by
the rectangular waveform on the base. When Q 106
is turned on, the supply voltage plus the charge on
C 113 causes yoke current to increase in a linear
manner and moves the beam from near the center of
the screen to the right side. At this time, the
transistor is turned off by a positive voltage on its
base which causes the output circuit to oscillate. A
high reactive voltage in the form of a half cycle
negative voltage pulse is developed by the yoke's
inductance and the primary of T2. The peak
magnetic energy which was stored in the yoke
during scan time is then transferred to C 109 and the
yoke's distributed capacity. During this cycle, the
beam is returned to the center of the screen.

The vertical output stage, Q 104, uses a power type
transistor which operates as a class A amplifier. No
output transformer is required since the output
impedance of the transistor permits a proper
impedance match with the yoke connected directly
to the collector. C107 is a DC-blocking capacitor
which allows only AC voltages to produce yoke
current. LI is a relative high impedance compared
to the yoke inductance. During retrace time, a large
positive pulse is developed by LI which reverses the
current through the yoke and moves the beam from
the bottom of the screen to the top. Resistor R 126
prevents oscillations by providing damping across
the vertical deflection coils.

The distributed capacity now discharges into the
yoke and induces a current in a direction opposite to
the current of the previous part of the cycle. The
magnetic field thus created around the yoke moves
the scanning beam to the left of the screen.
After slightly more than half a cycle, the voltage
across C 109 biases the damper diode CR 103 into
conduction and prevents the flyback pulse from
oscillating. The magnetic energy that was stored in
the yoke from the discharge of the distributed
capacity is released to provide sweep for the first
half of scan and to charge C 113 through the
rectifying action of the damper diode. The beam is
then at the center of the screen. The cycle will repeat
as soon as the base voltage of QI06 becomes
negative.

HORIZONTAL DEFLECTION
To obtain a signal appropriate for driving Q 106, the
horizontal output transistor, a driver stage
consisting of Q 105 and T 10 1, is used. The circuitry
associated with Q 105 and Q 106 has been designed to
optimize the efficiency and reliability of the
horizontal deflection circuits.
A positive going pulse is coupled through RI27 to
the base of QI05. The amplitude and duty cycle of
this waveform must be as indicated in the electrical
specifications (Section 1.2) for proper circuit
operation.

CII3, in series with the yoke, also serves to block
DC currents through the yoke and to provide "S"
shaping of the current waveform. "S" shaping
compensates for stretching at the left and right sides
of the picture tube because the curvature of the CRT
face and the deflected beam do not describe the
same arc.

The driver stage is either cut off or driven into
saturation by the base signal. The output signal.
appears as a rectangular waveform and is
transformer-coupled to the base of the horizontal
output stage. The polarity of the voltage at the
secondary of the driver transformer is chosen such
that Q106 is cut off when Q105 conducts and vice
versa.

LIOI is an adjustable width control placed in series
with the horizontal deflection coils. The variable
inductive reactance allows a greater or lesser
amount of the deflection current to flow through the
horizontal yoke and, therefore, varies the width of
the hor~zontal scan.

During cond uction of the driver transis.tor, energy is
stored in the coupling tranformer. The voltage at the
secondary is then positive and keeps Q 106 cut off.
As soon as the primary·· current of TIOI is
interrupted due to the base signal driving Q 105 into
cut off, the secondary voltage changes polarity.
Q 106 starts conducting, and its base current flows.
This gradually decreases at a rate determined by the
transformer inductance and circuit resistance.

The negative flyback pulse developed during
horizontal retrace time is rectified by CR104 and
filtered by CRllO. This produces approximately
"D" VDC which is coupled through the brightness
control to the cathode of the CRT (VI).

4-24

to the zener ofVR20l. The increase of forward bias
of Q202 causes the collector voltage to drop as a
result of the increased collector current through
R202. This voltage is directly coupled to the base of
Ql through Q201 where it causes Ql to conduct less
and brings the regulated voltage back to its proper
state.

This same pulse is transformer-coupled to the
secondary of transformer T2 where it is rectified by
CR2, CR106, and CR105 to produce rectified
voltages of approximately 12 k V (9 and 12 inches) or
9 kV (5 inches), "c" VOC, and "B" VDC
respectively. 12 kV or 9 kV is the anode voltage for
the CRT, and "c" VDC serves as the source voltage
for grids No.2 and 4 (focus grid) of the CRT. The
"B" VDC potential is the supply voltage for the
video output amplifier Q 10 l.

The short circuit protection or current limiting
action can be explained as follows. Assume the "A"
VDC bus becomes shorted to ground. This reduced
output voltage is sensed by the base of Q202 turning
that transistor off because of the reverse bias across
its .emitter and base junction. Simultaneously, the
increased current through R204 increases the
forward voltage drop across the base and emitter
junction of Q203 and turns it on. Prior to the short
circuit condition, Q203 was cut off. The increased
collector current through R202 decreases the
collector voltage of Q203 which is detected by the
base of Q20l and direct-coupled to the base of Ql
causing that conductor to conduct less. This closed
loop operation maintains the current available to
any transistor connected to the "A" VDC bus at a
safe level during a short circuit condition. Circuit
breakers and fuses are not fast enough to protect
transistors.

LOW VOLTAGE REGULATED SUPPLY

All models use a series-pass, low voltage regulator
designed to maintain a constant DC output for
changes in input voltage, load impedance and
temperature. Also included is a current limiting
circuit designed to protect transistors connected to
the "A" VDC output of the regulated supply from
accidental output short circuits and
load
malfunctions.
The low voltage regulator consists of Q20 1, Q202,
Ql, VR201, and their components. Q203 and its
circuitry control the current limiting feature.

4.3.20 ADM-3A Answer Back

The 120 VAC primary voltage (220/240 V,
optional) is stepped down at the secondary of Tl
where it is rectified by a full wave bridge rectifier
CRl. Capacitor Cl is used as a filter capacitor to
smooth the rectified output of CR 1. Transistor Q 1 is
used as a series regulator to drop the rectified
voltage to "A" VDC and to provide a low output
impedance and good regulation. Resistor network
R207, R208 and R209 is used to divide down the
"A" VDC voltage to approximately +6 VDC and
apply this potential to the base of Q202. A reference
voltage from zener diode VR201 is applied to the
emitter of Q202. If the voltages applied to the base
and emitter of Q202 are not in pr()per relationship,
an error current is generated through Q202. This
error current develops a voltage across R202 which
is applied to the base of emitter follower Q201 and
then applied to the base of Ql to bring the output
voltage back to its proper level. R201 and C201
provide additional fIltering of the rectified DC
voltage.

The ADM-3A answer back option provides the
transmission of a predetermined message of up to 32
characters in length. This message can be sent by
depressing the "here is" key on the keyboard or by
the computer command "ENQ." The message is
stored in a read only memory (ROM) and is
supplied at time of purchase. This message can be
exchanged by LSI customer service.
4.3.21 ADM-3A Extension Port Current Loop

The extension port of the ADM-3A provides an
auxiliary port for interfacing other peripheral
devices in a loop through or daisy chain
environment.
The addition of current loop to this port adds to the
flexibility and allows more devices to hook up in this
manner.

Operation of this regulator may be better
understood by assuming a certain operation
condition has caused the output voltage to increase
above normal. This positive increase of voltage is
transferred to the base of Q202 where it is compared

The transmitted data output for current loop is on
pin 25 of connector J-2 an~uPJ}l~_£"l!f~
(external source). Received data is inputed on pin 2
and is internally grounded (Terminal ground).

4.3.22 ADM-3A Numeric Pad

NOTE

The numeric pad option (Figure 4-18) provides 14
keys for operator convenience. These keys consist of
10 numeric (0-9), 3 punctuation (- . ,) and an "Enter"
key. The codes associated with these are transmitted
as such wIth the exception of "Enter" which
transmits the ASCII character "RETURN."

The numeric keys on the Key pad parallel
the numeric on the standard Keyboard,
therefore, if the shift key is depressed
when using the keypad, the shifted
characters will be generated as on the
standard keyboard.

SECTION 5
MAINTENANCE
5.1 GENERAL

5.5 ADJUSTMENTS

This section contains instructions and information
for performing routine and corrective 'maintenance
of the AD M -3A. It is assumed that the maintenance
technician is thoroughly familiar with information
in Sections 1 through 4 of this manual.

All adjustments in the ADM-3A are associated with
the CRT monitor.
5.5.1 Contrast Adjustment

Contrast may be adjusted for best viewing by the
operator. The control is located at the upper righthand corner of the keyboard.

5.2 INSTALLATION
It is assumed that the ADM-3A has been installed

5.5.2 Brightness Adjustment

and set-up for operation in accordance with
procedures outlined in Section 2. Any operating
problem following installation should be
approached initially by checking settings of internal
switches and front panel switches located under the
identification plate, and checking interface cables.
Figure 5-1 shows assignments of terminals in
interface connectors 11 and 12.

The brightness (background intensity) control is
located on the video board assembly within the
ADM-3A cover.

WARNING

Brightness must be adjusted with power
applied to the ADM-3A. To avoid
hazardous electrical shock, adjust using a
non-conductive screwdriver and
considerable care.

5.3 ROUTINE MAINTENANCE

The operator is expected to keep the exterior of the
ADM-3A clean. The case should be cleaned using a
household cleaner and a soft, damp, lint-free cloth
or paper towel. NEVER use a. petroleum-base
solvent such as lighter fluid which could damage the
plastic or painted surface.

Adjust brightness just to the level at which the white
raster is extinguished. The optimum contrast can
then be obtained when a video signal is applied.

Be careful not to wipe dust into the keyboard, and
don't let excessive spray cleaner run between the
keys.

5.5.3 Vertical Adjustment

Other than cleaning, the ADM-3Aneeds no routine
maintenance.

There is a slight interaction among the vertical
frequency, height, and linearity controls. A change
in the height of the picture may affect linearity.

5.4 OPENING ADM-3A COVER

To remove the cover of the terminal (along with the
monitor CRT) for access to adjustments or for other
maintenance, proceed as follows:

a. Apply video and synchronization signals to
the monitor.
b. Set the vertical frequency control (R116) .near
the mechanical center of its rotation.

a. Remove the two slot-head screws located
under the front corners of the terminal base.

c. Adjust the vertical height control (R124) for
desired height.

b. Lift the cover from the front, lifting it upward
and rearward until it is lowered to rest on the
table.

d. Adjust the vertical linearity control (R121) for
best vertical linearity.

c. To remove the cover from the base, disconnect
the cable connecting the monitor to the printed
circuit board, slide the cover toward the left on,
its hinge pins, and then remove the cover from
the base.

e. Remove the vertical drive signal from the unit.
Or, alternatively, use a shortjumper lead, and
short the vertical drive input terminal of the
printed circuit.card edge connector to ground.·
f. Readjust the vertical frequency control (R116)
until the picture rolls up slowly.

Note that all components on the ADM·)A
circuit board are accessible for inspection and
voltage measurement when the cover is fully
open.

g. Restore vertical drive to the monitor.
h. Recheck height and linearity.

5.5.4 Horizontal Adjustments

may choose to isolate the cause to the component
level and replace the failed component.

Raster width is affected by a combination ofthe low
voltage supply, width coil LlOl, and the horizontal
linearity sleeve located on the neck of the CRT
beneath the yoke.

Repair at the component level should not be
attempted except by trained p~rsonnel using
suitable tools and test equipment.

a. Apply video and synchronization signals to
the monitor. Insert the horizontal ,linearity
sleeve about 2/3 of its length under the yoke.
(If you'received a monitor from the factory in
which the placement of the linearity sleeve has
been determined, make a mark on the sleeve
and reinsert the sleeve to this mark when
removal of the yoke and linearity sleeve are
required.)

5.6.1 Failure Analysis
Troubleshooting of the ADM..;3A is straightforward
and conventional. Suggested steps in
troubleshooting are:
a. Get the facts. Learn the state of the machine
when the malfunction' occurred. Look for
operator error, blown fuses, or modem or
computer failure.

If the linearity sleeve is inserted farther than.
necessary, excessive power will be consumed
and the horizontal output circuitry could be
overstressed.
'

b. Operate the ADM-3A to determine which
functions have failed. For example: Does it
receive but not transmit? Has a single function
(like Clear Screen or Backspace) failed?
Intelligent use of this 'information will speed
fault isolation.
'
.

b. Adjust the horizontal width coil (LIOl) for the
desired width.

c. Isolate the cause of the failure to a specific
module (for example, to the CRT, a keyboard
row, the flyback assembly, or the main circuit
board).

c. Insert the linearity sleeve farther under the
yoke to obtain the best linearity. Although this
adjustment will affect the raster width, it
should not be used solely for that purpose. The
placement of the linearity sleeve should be
optimized for the best linearity..

d. If the failed module is to be repaired at the
machine site, further isolate the cause to a
failed component (or components). Refer to
information in Section 4 and to the logic and
assembly drawings in Section 6 of this manual.

d. Readjust LlOl for proper width.
e. Observe final horizontal linearity and width,
and touch up either adjustment if needed.

e. Replace the failed module or component
and test by running the ADM-3A in the same
mode of operation in which the failure
occurred.

No horizontal hold control is used in this monitor.

5.5.5 Focus Adjustment
The focus control (R107) adjusts best overall
display focus. However, because of the construction
of the gun assembly in the CRT, this control does
not have a large effect on focus.
'

f. Record the symptoms, cause, troubleshooting procedure, and mode of repair
for future reference.

5.5.6 Centering

Following are useful ideas to speed troubleshooting
and repair:

If the raster is not properly centered, it may be
repositioned by rotating the ring magnets behind
the deflection yoke.

5.6 CORRECTIVE MAINTENANCE

a. After warmup, the cursor should appear at its
, "home" position. If it does not, enter data from
the keyboard (with the HDX/FDX switch in
the HDX position) and see if it appears on the
screen. If it does not, proceed to check power
supply voltages, intensity and contrast control
settings, clock and display counter operation,
.monitor sweep drive signals and monitor video
and drive circuits, in that order.
'

Corrective maintenance consists of locating the
cause of a malfunction and repairing it. The cause
may be isolated only to the module level, with the
failed module sent to a repair facility or returned to
Lear Siegler for repair or replacement; or the user

b. To verify operation of transmitter logic,
simply see that data generated atthe keyboard
appears on the screen (HDX/FDX switch in
the HDX position only!). This checks all
transmitter logic except the inverter B7-l 0 and

Do not use ring magnets to offset the raster from its
nominal center position; this will degrade the
resolution of the display.
If the picture is tilted, rotate the entire yoke. /

reverse order.

driver A9-3. To check FDX, create a short in
pins 2 and 3 of the modem connector. This will
also check the inverter B7-1O and the driver
A9-3.

To remove the flyback assembly, proceed as
follows:

c. It is possible to use internal turnaround
switches (LOCAL, 103 and 202) to force
Request to Send to either state, or put it under
ADM-3A control. Intelligent use of these
switches, and reference to paragraph 4.3.16,
may simplify interface troubleshooting.

a. Disconnect anode connector from CRT.
b. Disconnect Molex connector that connects
flyback assembly to the monitor circuit board.
c. Using a screwdriver, loosen the hex-head
screw that clamps the flyback assembly tothe
molded cover.

5.6.2 Troubleshooting the Monitor

d. Lift flyback assembly upward until the screw
clears the slot in the mounting plate, then
remove assembly from the cover.

Following is a guide to troubleshooting the CRT
monitor. It is assumed that sweep drive and video
signals from the main circuit board are normal (see
figure 5-2).

To remove the monitor circuit board, proceed as
follows:

a. Screen is dark. Check settings of brightness
and contrast controls. Check + l5V dc supply
at junction of Rl14 and R130. Check security
of all monitor connectors.

a. Remove the flyback assembly (refer to
preceding steps).
b. Disconnect all Molex connectors from the
monitor circuit board.

b. No video. Check setting of contrast control,
check Q 10 1 (refer to monitor schematic
diagram in Section 6 of this manual).

c. Slide circuit board from the slots in the molded
cover and remove.

c. Overheating and excessive power
consumption. Check horizontal linearity
sleeve (para. 5.5.5) Check Q105 and Q106.

To replace monitor circuit board and flyback
assembly, perform the preceding steps in reverse
order.

Refer to the monitor voltage waveforms (figure 5-3),
and component layout (figure 5-4), and to cabling
and schematic diagrams in Section 6 ofthis manual.

5.6.4 Troubleshooting the Main Circuit Board

Troubleshooting of the main circuit board is based
essentially on the principles outlined in paragraph
5.6 - that is, the technician must be familiar with
the theory of operation (Section 4) and must be
equipped with suitable test equipment.

5.6.3 Removing and Replacing Monitor CRT
and Subassemblies
WARNING

Be sure to discharge anode voltage to
ground before attempting to remove any
monitor subassembly or CRT.

With the ADM-3A cover opened, all components
on the main circuit board are accessible to probes
and other test devices. Components are generally
identified on the board; but reference may be made
to the component layout drawing, and the logic
diagrams in Section 6 of this manual.
Table 5-1 lists connectors on the board and defines
all terminal assignments.

The monitor comprises the CRT with its steel
mounting frame, the flyback assembly, and the
circuit board.
To remove the CRT, proceed as follows:
a. Unhook (at both ends) the spring that lies
across the CRT.
b. Remove connector from the base of the CRT.

5.6.5 Removing and Replacing the
Main Circuit Board

c. Remove the anode connector from the lower
surface of the CRT.

To remove the main circuit board, proceed as
follows:
a. Remove external cables from connectors J 1
and J2 at the rear of the ADM-3A.

d. Using a socket wrench or screwdriver, loosen
the clamps at both sides of the CRT frame
until the clamps can be turned to clear the
CRT frame.

b. Remove all cable connectors from the upper
surface of the circuit board.

e. Grasping the CRT securely, lift it upward and
out of the ADM-3A cover and set it aside.

c. Lift circuit board straight upward to clear the
guide pins, then remove from the base.

counts l-through 7 are the raster lines during which
the video is being generated. The final stage out of
this counter provides the clock for the ROW
counter and has a frequency of 1. 800 KHz.

6.1 SCHEMATIC SHEET #2-'
SYSTEM COUNTERS

The ROW counter (zone A2) is a variable counter.
Its purpose is to count the rows of characters
appearing vertically down the screen. It also counts
through the vertical retrace time. Its count changes
from a division by 30 for 60 HZ refresh to a division
by 36 for 50 HZ refresh. The 50/60 HZ switch is
positioned according to the frequency of the
primary input power line. The ROW counter
progresses in a straight binary fashion up to its
.selected maximum count and presets to zero.

The oscillator located in zone D4 provides the basic
clocking for the entire display unit. It oscillates at a
frequency of 10.8864 MHz (period =91.8577 nsec.)
which is twice the frequency ofthe video going to the
monitor. This clock also goes to the DOT counter
which counts the seven dot positions horizontally in
a character position. This DOT coun'ter (74LS16l
-T- zone D2) has seven different states. It begins its
cycle by presetting to a count of 10, .counts through
the overflow at 15, and presets again at a count ofO.
The purpose of this counter is to time the
presentation of the sequential addresses to the
character gen~rator and the presetting of the video
serializer. Its final output, DC3, has a duty cycle of
85.7% and a frequency of 1.5552 MHz. It also is the
clock to the next counter in line.

The tri-state buffers (74LS125) located in zones D3,
C4 and A4 are for the use of the automatic test
equipment and essentially have no effect on the .
normal operation of the display unit.
6.2 SCHEMATIC SHEET #12INTERFACE CONTROL

This schematic essentially shows the request-tosend and clear-to-send operation for the ADM-3A.
The flip-flop B2 (74LS74, zone D3) is the CLEAR
TO SEND control flop. If clear to send is high at the
RS232 level, then the UART transmit clocks are
turned on and the unit can transmit at any time. If
CTS falls during the time a byte is being
transmitted, the ADM-3A will continue to transmit
the remainder of that byte then shut do,wn in the
"marking" state.

The CHARACTER counter (zone C3) has eight
stages and is used to time the positioning of the
eighty characters and the horizontal retrace time
along one video raster line. The total division
provided by this counter is 96, 80 for the video
portion of the raster line and 16 for the horizontal
retrace. The actual count goes from 0 to 79, presets
to 240, and counts out to the overflow point at 255
and restarts another cycle for the next raster line.
Stages labeled CCO through CC6 are straight binary
counts while CC7 actually has a weight of 80. This
means that all CHARACTER counter decodes less
than 80 have CC7 low and all decodes 80 and higher
have CC7 high. In practical usage, CC7 low
indicates that the unit is operating in the video
portion of the raster and CC7 high indicates
horizontal retrace time.

~

The flip-flop labeled ICC80 (zone C2) actually
represents the decode CHAR COUNTER = 80 or
one count into the horizontal retrace. This term is
utilized internally to indicate the time when a
command received from the normal 110 interface
can be acted upon. The LCCLK circuit (zone Bl)
provides the clock for the following counter.
The next counter is the LINE counter which
counts the raster lines in one row of characters. This
counter divides by nine and is a straight binary
count. Counts 0 and 8 indicate the two raster lines

6-1

There are four ways that REQUEST-TO-SEND
can be controlled in the ADM-3A. First, RTS can
be low all of the time which is accompanied by
opening all three of the switches located in zone A2..
Then R TS can rise before the transmission of a
character, stay up during the transmission of that
one character, and fall as soon as it clears the
UART. This is done by closing the switch marked
LOCAL. If the switch labeled 103 is closed, then
R TS will be held high all of the time. A device
setting on the extension port can also exercise R TS
control through· Pin 4 of connector J2. The last
switch on this section is labeled "202". If this RTS
CONTROL switch is closed, then one other
selection must be made. The two choices are R TS
control utilizing code turn-around and R TS under
reverse channel control. This selection is made using
switch in zone C4. If code turn is selected, then the
actual code to be used must be specified. This is
done by closing one of the two switches located on

DETECT (CF) must fall, indicating that the distant
end has dropped its RTS. At that time, the ADM. 3A will turn R TS on within 62msec. In this reverse
channel operation, if a command is given to turn
R TS, then no further commands will be recognized
for a period of approximately ·250msec. This gives
the modem time to propagate its signals. This timing
is accomplished with the counter and two flops. All

6.3.1 CLEAR/ERASE LOGIC

The Clear and Erase Logic (zones DI-D4,Al &C4)
performs the function of initializing the counters on
power-Jlp or other clear-screen operations and
forcing a wdte-space action for a sufficient period to
clear either a single line, or the entire screen. During
power-up the functions CLEAR2 and CLEAR3
force flops F6-5 (START) and F6-10 (ERASEF)
true, and flop K8-6 false. The latter function, via
gate F2-3, generates the signal CLRQC, which
clears the Offset and Row Counters.

If a key-clear (KEY CLR) operation is initiated
from the keyboard, or a clear-screen command
(CLR SCRN) is received, CLROC is generated
directly, but the START and ERASEF flops are set
in sequence by successive CC80A signals, the latter
flop via the SETERA gate. The remaining erase
function, which occurs when a line-feed is generated
with the cursor on Row 23, does not affect the
START flop. The SETERA signal, derived from
CR23 and LFI, causes ERASEF to be set for one
line-period. By the time the next CC80A signal
occurs, LFI will be false and START, also being
false, wiU'. cause ERASEF to be reset; Gated with
CC7 to form ERASE LINE, this function is used to
clear the memory-row which was "rolled to the
bottom" during a scrolling operation.

6.3.3 ROW COUNTER

The Cursor Row Counter and its associated logic
(zones Al-A4, Bl-B4, D3 & D4) perform the task of
maintaining the current display-row position of the
cursor. Due to the mobility of the cursor, this
counter is capable of being incremented,
decremented, cleared or loaded with a code from the
data-buffer which represents an absolute cursor
row-position on the display. Like the Offset
Counter, the Row Counter consists of five stages
(CRO-CR4) capable of counting in the range 0 to 23;
with the same provision for locking the LSB (CRO)
into the true condition in l2-line mode, and
counting mQdule-2.
The Row Counter is allowed to increment in
situations complementary to those for the Offset
Counter, that is, when START is false and the rowcount is other than 23. In these cases, LF1, derived
from the same three possible sources noted for the
OC will be translated into the Row Counter
inc;ement signal DNLINEB. One additional source
of line-feed enabling is directed to the Row Counter,
however, when the Cursor Control switch is open.
In this situation, the Row Counter will increment
continuously after START falls, until a count of 23
is reached. The counter will then be disabled so long
as the switch is open (ENX false) and no further
clear-screen operations are initiated. This
characteristic of the counter effectively locks the
cursor to the bottom row of the display, and directs
all subsequent line-feeds to the Offset Counter.

Clear-screen operations, however initiated, are
terminated when the Offset Counter overflows,
generating, OCLOD. The firstCC80A signal after
OCLOD resets START, and the next CC80A resets
ERASEF. This action is necessary in order that
memory-row 0 may be cleared.

6.3.2 OFFSET COUNTER

The Offset Conter and its associated logic (zones Bl
and Cl-C3) perform the dual function of defining
the memory-row addresses during clear-screen
operations and maintaining the scrolling history of
the unit to facilitate the reconciliation of display
row-positions to the physical memory-rows.
Consisting of five counter stages (OCO- OC4), Row23 detection logic (OCLOD) and Line-feed
definition and vectoring logic (LFl, PGMOD,
DNLINEA), the OC will be enabled to react to linefeed directives whenever the unit is currently
executing
clear-screen operation. (START
TR UE) or the Cursor Row Counter (zones B2, B3J
is in count-condition 2310. In either situation, linefeeds derived either from START, LF (line feed
command) or BOFLO (overflow from last column
of the column-counter) will be translated in the term
DNLINEA, which will cause the OC to increment at
the next CC80 signal. The OC will increment either
one or two units, depending upon the position of the
12/24 Line-Select switch (zone A-3). In 24-line
mode, OCO will toggle at each DNLINEA directive,
with a normal binary count propagated to the four
upper stages of the counter. In l2-line mode, OCO is
forced true (odd-lines only) and each DNLINEA
directive will then increment the upper stages one
unit, causing an effective count-by-two operation;
Whenever the value held in the OC reaches 23,
OCLOD will become true, and the next line-feed
will cause the counter to be loaded with a zerocount.

If the Cursor Control switch is closed (EN X true),
the upline and Load-Cursor functions will be
enabled. The up line command signal, VT, will be
invariably routed to the LSB of the Row Counter, as
one of three possible clock-enabling terms (VT,
LDROW, DNLINEB). Unless CRO is locked true
by the 12/ 24 line select switch, it will toggle any time
ESC2 is false; a situation which will occur at all
times except during cursor-load operations.
Decrementing the high-order (CRl-CR4) part of
the counter will occur when either CRO is false or the
unit is in l2-line mode (DNSEL), and a VT
command is issued.

a

The Row Counter may be cleared in one of four
different situations. 'The first situation is that caused
by one of the three clear-screen operations
(CLROC). The second case is that effected by a
HOME command, permitted only when the Cursor
Control switch is on. The third circumstance occurs
whenever the counter is decremented past zero, in
which case BORROW is used as a clock to set
ROWCLR (zone D3). The last situation occurs
whenever an attempt has been made to load an
absolute row-count value greater than 23, causing
the term R24/3l to pull ROWCLR true. The jam-

data received via the UART and stored in theData
Buffer. Incrementing is effected in one of three
ways:

2. As the result of receiving a Forespace (FF)
command.
3. As the result of a start-transmit signal, when in
the test-read back mode.

clear function is removed, either as the result of a
DNLINEB (increment) signal, or during the loadrow phase of a Load Cursor operation
(LDROWEN).
.
The Row Counter may be loaded to any value
between zero and 23, provided the Cursor Control
switch is on. The actual loading of row-data takes
place during the third phase of the four-character
sequence, defined by the condition when ESCI and
ESC2 are both true. In this situation, ROWCLR is
reset, as described above, and a clocked load signal
is directed to the LSB and four MSB's of the row
counter (LDROW - LDROWEN - XCLK). The
information from the· data-buffer, DATA I DA T A5, is then loaded into the counter.

A forespace signal (FORESPACE, zone CI) will be
generated for any character received, except
Control character (CTRL CHAR), Delete codes
(DEL) or characters which follow an Escape code,
and constitute" either part of the four-character
sequence, or an illegal second-character. All
possibilities excluded under the last classification
are covered by the term NOLOAD, derived from
ESC I and ESC2. Evidence of receipt of a character
is provided by the fu~ction XCLK, which is derived
from DOlT and CC80A. The Forespacecommand
(FF) contains an implicit DOlT function, therefore,
must only be combined with CC80A to form a
properly gated signal (R TCURG) for direct ORing. The Readback increment (READ INC)
function results from the transmission, rather than
reception of a character, and therefore, is a
combination of the Read-mode enabling signal
(READ) and the initiate-transmit term (XLOAD).
The Column Counter may only be decremented
when a Backspace code (BKSP) is received by the
unit. This function, containing an implicit DOlT
gate, is fed directly to the count-down input of the
counter.

6.3.4 BEEPER CIRCUIT

The circuits which produce an audible tone for
operator signaling, are shown in zones C l-C2 & D 1D2, plus related gates at zones A2 & D I oflogicsheet 4. The duration of the tone is governed,by the
one-shot (zone C I) which is triggered either by
receipt of a BEL code (BEL and CC80) or the
OCCUrrence of the LINE END function. The latter
function occurs (see logic sheet 4) whenever the
Cursor Column counter is advanced from column
71 to column 72. The frequency ofthe tone (3.6 Khz)
is governed by the modulating signal, LC2. The tone
is cut off by dearing the one-shot (CLRBEL)
whenever a READ operation is initiated, or an
overflow (OVERFLOW) from the column counter
occurs. The first case is necessitated by the fact that
BEL is used in conjunction with the Read Back
Enable function to initiate the read back operation;
therefore, if the tone were not disabled in this
situation, excessive noise would result during
testing. The second situation is required, to prevent
a continuous tone from occurring during high baudrate transmissions, since at rates higher than 2400
baud, re-triggering by the LINE END function
would occur before the one-shot could normally
time out.

The counter is cleared in one of four different
situations. The first is occasioned by any of the
Clear Screen operations (START), insuring that all
post-clear action starts from the Home position.
Receipt of either a Home command (HOME) or
Carriage Return (CR) command will also clear the
counter, however, the Home function is only
recognized when the Cursor Control switch is on.
The last situation which will elicit a counter-clear, is
a decrement from Column-O. In this situation, the
back-count will evoke a borrow (WC BORROW)
from the counter, which is captured as UNDERFLOW, and used to force the counter back to
column zero.

6-4 SCHEMATIC SHEET #4
COLUMN COUNTER
WRITE-PULSE LOGIC

A multiplexor (zones C I-C4) is utilized in the
Column Counter logic to control the source of data
for loading into the counter. If the counter is
incremented past column 79, the event is stored as
OVERFLOW, and used to pulse the load-ports of
the counter. The OVERFLOW term is also sent to
the Offset and Row Counter increment logic, if the
Auto-Newline switch is on. The information loaded
into the counter by OVERFLOW; is also dependent
upon the Auto-Newline switch, zero being loaded if
the switch is on, and 7910 if it is off. The multiplexor

6.4.1 COLUMN COUNTER

The majority of the logic shown on sheet 4
(exclusive of zones D 1-D4) is concerned with the
task of managing the columnar position of the
cursor. As described in the theory of operation,the
counter is capable pf being incremented,
decremented, cleared and loaded with either one of
two fixed position-codes or a code derived from

will always be switched to the A-ports during
overflow processing, since the selection term
(ESC2) cannot be true simultaneously with an
increment (R TCUR) signal.

2. Reconciliation of the dynamic display row
positions with the scroll...;history, to virtual
refresh-row addresses.

When a four-character cursor-load operation is
initiated, the term ESC2 will be true during both
the third and fourth phases, and will switch the
Column Counter Mux to the B-ports, enabling
translated character-codes (DATAl - DATA5,
DA T A6 & DA T A67) to be loaded during the last
phase (ESCI, ESC2, XCLK). The translation is
required to allow the more common alphanumeric
codes to be used, rather than control codes. Row
codes in the range 0408 through 0678, and column
code in the range 0408 through 1578 are translated,
respectively, to codes in the range 0008 through 0278
and 0008 through 1178.

3. Selection of either entry or refresh rowaddress information in a manner consistent
with the periodic demand requirements of
the display.
.
4. Reconciliation of the 64 by 30 byte physical
memory array with the 80 by 24 character
array used by the display.
The generation of entry-row addresses is performed
by a five-bit full adder set comprised ofthe elements
in zones C4 & D2-D4. The adder combines the
functions from the Cursor Row Counter (CROCR4) and those from the Offset Counter (OCD OC4) in the manner:

6.4.2 WRITE-PULSE LOGIC
Write pulses, which effect the storage into datamemory of the current contents of the Data Buffer
are generated by the logic in zones D I-D4, durin~
two situations. One case is that precipitated by a
line-erase operation (see SETERA, sheet-3) due to a
clear-screen or scroll situation. In these
circumstances, the term ERASE LINE will be
generated during one or more complete line-scan
periods, allowing 80 write-pulses to be enabled for
each such period. In the second situation, a single
write-pulse is enabled for each character clocked
into the Data Buffer, as evidenced by the
FORESPACE signal. The generation ofa writepulse, in this case, is conditioned by the presence of a
SPACE code, and the position of the Disable NonDestructive Space switch. If the switch is closed
(dis~bled) a write-pulse will be enabled for every
recelved character. If the switch is open, all SPA CE
codes encountered after a Carriage Return will
cause inhibition of write-pulses, thereby preventing
the entry of such codes into memory. The inhibit
function will be cleared by the next Line Feed code.

SUMW

=CR + OC +1

The unit is added to the counter functions in order
that a unit in bottom-entry mode (curso~ control
switch off) will initially make access to row-address
zero, consistent with the original ADM-3. If the
Cursor Control switch is on, the memory-row
initially available for data entry ("top row") will be
row one. As the display is scrolled, and the Offset
Counter incremented, the virtual row-address of
each row, relative to the top-of-display will advance
proportionately; for example, on a display which
has been scrolled five times, with the cursor on the
top row, the virtual entry row address will be six (0 +
5 + I). As the cursor advances down the display, the
contribution of the CR register to the sum will also
increase. If the unit which was scrolled, as described
in the example above, subsequently has its cursor
moved to the sixth row of the display, the virtual
row address will be 12 (6 + 5 + I).
The logic shown in zones D2 & D3 (SUM34W,
SUM345W, SUM3WSC, SUM3WS, & SUM4WS)
is charged with the task of reconciling the row sums
from the CR & OC adder, to an allowable address
range of 0 to 23. This logic causes sums in the range
24-47 to effectively undergo a "subtract 24"
operation.

Th.e duration of the write-pulses is controlled by the
wnte-clock (WR TCLK) flip-flop, which provides a
pulse which occupies the last four dot-positions of
each character period. The width, therefore, is 367
nanoseconds.

The generation of refresh-row addresses is also
performed by a five-bit adder and two-bit "range
adjuster", comprised ofthe elements in zones A4 , B4
~nd ~~ - C~. The second adder-set is functionally
ldentlfled wlth the first, combining the contents of
the Offset Counter (OCO-OC4) and the Refresh
Row Counter (RCO-RC4) to form the sum:

6.5 SCHEMATIC SHEET #5 MEMORY ADDRESS GENERATION
The .logic on this sheet provides four major
functiOns related to the manipulation of the 1920
byte data memory address structure, to facilitate
data entry and data retrieval for display refresh.
These functions are:

SUMR

6-6

=OC + RC +1

As a consequence of this sum,. a unit without
scrolling history currently scanning along the top
row of the display, will access row-address one, and
as the scan progresses down the display, the
indicated addresses will progress from 1-23, finally
accessing row-address zero when the bottom row of
the display is being scanned. As the unit acquires a
scroll-history, the virtual addresses will advance,
relative to the display rows, with row-addresses
previously associated with the top display-row
rolled to the bottom and the contents erased, as
described earlier. This procedure allows the data in
memory to be visually advanced upward, row by
row, without necessitating the actual relocation of
that data in the physical memory.

display data and memory data, they are used
directly in addressing data-memory, without
modification.
Since the display matrix is 80 characters by 24 rows,
the largest binary factor which can be used as a
"common denominator" for matrix conversion, is
16. Removing this factor, the remaining column
factor, 5, is considered as the sum of a four-unit and
a one-unit factor. By recombining these factors as
products of sums, each column is considered as the
sum of a 64-unit increment and a 16-unit increment.
If 64 is chosen as one of two coordinates which
define a rectangular array, the other coordinate,
based on 1920 characters, becomes 30. The visual
display, then, is apportioned into the 64x30
memory array as one 64x24 character block and one
64x6 character block, the latter further subdivided
into 24 16-character increments. Each row, then, is
comprised of the sum of one 64-character slice of the
major block, plus one of the minor increments.

In the same manner as that performed on entryaddress sums, the row refresh-address sum
(SUMOR - SUM5R) is reconciled to a 0-23 range by
effectively subtracting 24 from sums in the range 2447. (SUM34R, SUM345R, SUM3RS and
SUM4RS).

Resolution of the display matrix into the memory
matrix, is accomplished in the multiplexor (zones
AI, Bl, & Dl) whose outputs are designated MA4MA9, by utilizing that fact that whenever columns
64 through 79 are indicated, the term POS6 will be
true, and for columns 0 through 63 it will be false.
Accordingly, this term will select the "normal"
binary column and row definers (POS4, POS5,
LINEI - LINE4) when false, and the 16-character
line-increment definers (LINE I - LINE4, MA8 and
MA9 forced true) when true. If the unmodified
address - definers, MAO - MA3 and CHIPENA are
included in each array, it can be verified that POS6
false calls up an array of 64 columns by 24 rows,
while POS6 true calls up an array of 16 columns by 4
increments by 6 rows, restricted by MA8 & MA9, to
rows 24 through 29.

The multiplexor-set, located at zones A2, A3, B2,
B3, and CI-C3 perform the function of selecting
refresh address, during active scan periods, and
data-entry addresses during periods of horizontal
retrace (C7 true). The complete refresh-address is
comprised of SUMOR-SUM2R, SUM3RS,
SUM4RS and the refresh column - count functions,
CCO-CC6. The complete entry-address is comprised
of SUMOW - SUM2W, SUM3WS, SUM4WS and
the cursor column-count functions, WCO - WC6.
The result of the column-count selection is the
function-group MAO-MA3, which form the loworder memory address terms directly, and POS4POS6, which must undergo matrix conversion to
derive the mid-range address terms. In addition, the
term SEL'LINE, which is always false during the
data-entry phase, will be true during refresh except
during line-erase operations (ERASEF). This
exception is required, in order that data-entry rowaddresses rather than refresh row-address be
accessed, thereby allowing 80 space-codes to be
written into the virtual memory-row associated with
the current c'ursor position. The SEL LINE function
switches the multiplexor in zone C6 to select the
high-order row-definers SUMI W, SUM2W,
SUM3WS & SUM4WS, or SUMIR, SUM2R,
SUM3RS & SUM4RS. The resultant tenus LINEI
- LINE4, must be resolved into the physical memory
matrix.

6.6 SCHEMATIC SHEET #6 DATA RECEIVER

LOAD-CURSOR SEQUENCE DETECTOR
6.6.1 DATA RECEIVER

All data admitted for interpretation or storage in the
ADM-3A is routed initially, as a serial data-stream,
into the U ART, shown in zones A4, B4 & C4. The
source of this data may be from either the Current
Loop Receiver circuit (CL DATA From Sheet 10),
the RS232 Receive Circuit (RECEIVED DATA,
Zone D4) or transmitted data (XD AT A From Sheet
10). As shown in Zone D4, RS232 data must be
level-shifted in the 1489 receiver circuit (AIO-3), and
transmitted data can only be admitted if the HalfDuplex (FDX/ HDX) switch is closed. Routed
through the OR-gate (B5-6), the serial data is routed
to both the U AR T and the Extension Port.

The low-order row-definers, SUMOW or SUMOR
are selected for the chip-enable functions by the

settings shown on sheet 10, zone C4. When a
complete character has been accumulated, and is
available in parallel (INI - IN8), the term DATA
RDY (zone A3) will go true. Framing, parity and
overrun errors are ignored on the ADM-3A,
therefore, the integrity of data rates, duty-cycles and
formats must be guaranteed by the source device.

which represent the absolute position of the cursor,
a sequence detector is provided (zones D2-D4)
which can:
1. Reset to the accurrence of an ESC code, and

hold control until another character is
received.
2. Verify the intent to load cursor data, if the
second code is "Equals" (=), or· abort the
sequence if it is not.3. Maintain control of the terminal until the two
additional bytes of Rowand Column data are
received.

Unless the ADM-3A is currently executing a clear
or erase operation (ERASEF low), the Data Ready
signal from. the U ART will be synchronized with the
system decoding and writing circuits by timingsignal CC6. The resultant signal(INPUT, zone A3)
will strobe the parallel contents of the UART into
the Data Buffer (zones B3, C3). The information in
the buffer(DATAI-DATA7, DATAI-DATA7)is
used directly for entry into memory, or routed to the
decoder logic for interpretation of control
functions.

4. Vector the row and column data to the proper
destinations.
These tasks are accomplished with a modulo-four
counter (ESCl, ESC2), which is normally clear
(ESCl, ESC2). If an ESC character is detected,
ESCI will be set true on the next received-character
strobe (XCLK). The ESC code will cause
FORESPACE (cursor advance) and data entry into
memory to be inhibited. If the next character
received is anything but EQUALS, ESCI will be
reset (RSESCl), thereby terminating the sequence.
If it is EQUALS, ESC2 will be set true and ESCI
allowed to remain true. In both situations ESCI
true will cause inhibition of FORESPACE. The
condition of ESCI and ESC2 both true will cause
the next character received to be interpreted as the
Row code, and loaded into the Row Counter. It will
also cause ESCI to be reset on the next strobe. With
ESCI false and ESC2 true, FORESPACE will
remain inhibited, and the next received character
will be translated and loaded into the Column
Counter. At the next strobe, ESC2 will be set false,
and the sequence will be complete.

6.6.2 CHARACTER DECODERS

The character decoders (zones AI, BI-2, CI-2, Dl2) interpret the received data by analyzing the
current 7-bit code in three stages. The first stage
examines the three or four high-order bits (DAT A4DA TA 7), and resolves the character into an ASCII
Column or H~llf-Column position. Columns 0 & 1
are used in most cases, since they define the ASCII
Control characters. Additionally, column 3 and the
half-columns, 4L and 7H are decoded, to aid in the
analysis of "Equal", "Space" and "Delete" codes,
respectively.
The second stage (zone B2) fully decodes the loworder three-bits of the character-code, to generate
eight row identifiers (XXO - XX7), applicable to
each of the 16 half-columns in the ASCII matrix.
The first stage combines the column or half-columrr
identifier, the row identifier, and where required,
DATA4 (or DATA4), to provide half-column
identification, resulting in a unique character
identifier. Eight control characters plus the
"displayable" SPACE and DELETE codes are
decoded irrespective of the condition of the Cursor
Control switch. Four control characters (RS, VT,
FF & ESC) and the EQUAL code,however, can
only be decoded (DAT A4A low), if the Cursor
Control switch is on (ENX true).

The DM74123 (retriggerable one-shot, Dl,) located
in zone D4 provides the power on clear signal. The
RC circuit is connected to the positive trigger input.
Therefore, when the power is up and the capacitor
finally charges to the input threshold, the one-shot
triggers off and creates the reset signal. This unit is
unusual in that every single storage element in the
system is reset with the CLEAR pulse except for the
refresh memories. This was done to accommodate
the automatic board testers. The signal labeled

READ MODE
FOR TEST ONLY

L

When both row and column coincidence occur, a
true output will be presented from the last
comparator stage (E15-6). This signal is delayed by
a pair of flip-flops for two character-periods, to
synchronize the cursor with the video data, which
is delayed two character periods in the course of
accessing and processing. Whenever the Cursor
Control switch is off (ENX false) CURENA will be
true only when the display row-count is greater than
23. This function is clocked by LCI into the flip-flop
E4-6 (CURSTOP), and combined with its output to
form a signal (CUREN) which will be true only
during the two line-scan periods immediately below
the last row of data on the display.

as the power on clear except that the signal is
generated by the automatic tester. These two
clearing sources are combined at D2-3 (74LSOO,
zone C3) and is called CLEAR. A positive level at
this point is the clearing level. This signal is buffered
through six inverters to create the negative-going
CLEAR signal. Each inverter has only 10 loads and
they were used instead of a power buffer because of
automatic board tester restrictions.
6.7.2 READ BACK

The flip-flop located in zone C4 (EZ-8, 74LSl13) is
part of the READ BACK feature. This flop can set
only if pin 22 on the main I/O connector J 1 is held to
ground. READ BACK is a test only feature
therefore only internal test cables should have this
pin grounded. This function is initiated by issuing a
USASCII BEL code (octal 007) through the normal
data input which sets this flip-flop. The ADM-3A
then responds by sending all data on the top line of
the display from the cursor position to the end of the
line inclusive. The screen is rolled one line but the
data remains on the screen and the bottom line is not
erased. The cursor remains on the last character
position transmitted which is the last position on the
line. The READ flip-flop is cleared at the end of the
operation when the CURSOR register overflows.

If the Cursor Control switch is on, CUREN will be
forced true continuously, allowing all coincidence
signals to be propagated through the delay flipflops. Coincidence will never occur outside the
bounds of the data-display, since the cursor row and
column counters are restricted to that area. The
output of the delay flip-flops (CURSOR) will be
mixed with video data in an exclusive -OR gate, if
Cursor Control is on, resulting in a reverse image of
the character over which the cursor -resides. If
Cursor Control is off (see sheet 8, zone AI), the
double-underscore cursor signal will be admitted to
the video driver in parallel with the non-inverted
video signals ( FLIP).

6.7.3 MONITOR DRIVE Signals
6.8 SCHEMATIC SHEET #8 REFRESH MEMORY
CHARACTER GENERATORS
VIDEO SERIALIZER
TRANSMIT DATA MULTIPLEXERS

The monitor drive signals, HD RIVE and VD RIVE
are generated in zones C 1 and D 1. The horizontal
drive signal, HDRIVE never moves regardless of
the position of the 50/60 Hz selection switch.
However, the VDRIVE signal changes between 50
Hz and 60 Hz refresh in order to maintain the same
relative position of the video display on the display
- screen. (See the MAIN TIMING DIAGRAM for
the positioning of these drive signals.

6.8.1 Refresh Memory

The refresh memory is composed of 14- 2101 RAMs
which have 500 nsec access times. These RAMs are
organized as a 2K by 7-bit memory which hold the
1920 USASCII codes for screen refresh. There are
four configurations of memory in the ADM.,-3A.
The first configuration is six RAMs, which is used
for the upper case only, 12 line display. Then seven
RAMs are used for the upper/lower case, 12 line
version. Twelve RAMs are required if upper case
only, 24 lines. Then all 14 rams are installed ifthe
fully configured upper/lower case, 24-line
combination is desired.

6.7.4 CURSOR GENERATION

The circuits shown on zones AI-A4, BI-B4 and ClC2 comprise the cursor generation and control
logic. Three comparators· are provided to
continuously compare the cursor row and column
counters with the corresponding display counters
and generate a' signal when all elements are in
coincidence. The stage which compares CRO - CR4
with RCO - RC4 will be allowed to propagate its
coincidence signal into the next stage, only if the
Cursor Control switch is on (ENX false). Otherwise,
a continuous coincidence signal (ROWCO) is
forced to the next stage, since the cursor will always
reside below the bottom row. In the event one of the
clear-screen operations is under way, START will
hold ROWCOG low preventing any cursor
comparison, thereby blanking the cursor.

The selection between 12 and 24 lines is made with a
switch. (See sheet 3 zone A3.) Zone A4 of this
schematic has' a switch labeled UC EN which
switches the unit from upper case only to
upper / lower case display. The 74LS 157 sections
located in zones C4 and C3 (2: 1 Mux, H7) alter the
data properly for 7 bit USASCII to 6 bit USASCII
for upper case only display. The output K12-12

6-10

6.8.4 Transmit Data Multiplexers

(zone C4) selects between two sources for bit 6
storage. Upper case only display utilizes DATA 7
while upper !lower cases uses DATA6. Gate H7-8
simply forces bit 6 to a high level when the ADM-3A
is erasing a line. This converts the NULL code
coming in to a proper SPACE code. The 74LS86 in
zone C4(k9-3) has the function of being able to clear
the memory to zeros with the activation of a switch
located internally.

The two multiplexers (74LSI57, K6 and L6, zones
D 1 and D2) are used to select between keyboard or
refresh memory as the source of the data going to
the transmit U ART. The refresh memory is selected
during the READ BACK operation and the
keyboard output is selected at all other times.

6.8.2 Character Generators

6.9 SCHEMATIC SHEET 9 KEYBOARD CIRCUIT

The circuitry located above the refresh memory is
used to blank the video display at selected times.
This function is normally accomplished at the video
serializer but was placed here to allow the automatic
board tester to shut the video off without affecting
the character generators or the video serializer.

The keyboard is encoded utilizing a normal
. scanning-type circuit. The two counters (74LS293)
located in zones D3 and D4 clock through all
possible 128 USASCII codes. The four least
significant bits are decoded through the 1 of 16
decoders (74LSI54-L8) whose outputs appear as
one seide of the encoding matrix. The three most
significant bits, K5 through K7,operate the
selection inputs of the 8 to 1 multiplexer (74LS 151L9). The inputs of this multiplexer represent the
second side of the encoding matrix. This encoding
matrix has a direct relationship with the USASCII
code chart. The outputs of the decoder represent the
rows of the chart while the inputs of the multiplexer
represent the columns. The key switches are then
placed. selectively within this matrix on the
intersection that geQerates the lower case code
associated with that particular switch.

The horizontal blanking is accomplished with gate
C5-4 (zone D4,74LS02). The term RC5, entering
the circuit at C5-2 does the blanking for row counts
32 and higher. This signal is active only if the unit is
operating at 50 Hz since the 60 Hz units reach a
maximum count of 29. The term RC=24j31
accounts for the blanking immediately below the
video and up to row count 31. Gate D4-3 (74LS02,
zone D4) generates the term that blanks every other
line if the ADM-3A is operating in the 12line mode.
The combined blanking term, called VIDEO
BLANK and going to the clear inputs of the two
74LS175's (K13 and L13, zones B3 and C3) used as
the character generator input buffers, is generated in
the flop K8 (74LS74,zone D3). Notice that clearing
the CBUF registers does not present a NULL code
to the character generator inputs. The outputs
associated with bit 6 are inverted. Therefore, when
VIDEO BLANK is active, the CBUF outputs
present a USASCII SPACE code to the character
generators.

The detection of a switch closure occurs in the
following manner. When none of the keys are
depressed (all switches open), the output of the
multiplexer L9 is high and the clock (KBCLK) to
the code generating counters is running. While KEY
DATA is high, the signal labeled GO (zone Cl) will
be held low, which clears the shift register Fl (zone
C2) and holds flop E2 (zone Dl) in the key
debouncing state. This is the normal idling state
with the counters cycling, KEYDATA high, shift
register Fl cleared, and BOUNCE low. When an
encoded key is depressed, the counters continue
cycling until the selected ROWand COL are
simultaneously enabled. At this time the low level
signal from the row decoder is propagated through
thekey switch, through the multiplexer, to gate E7
(zone B2) which effectively shuts off the clock to the
code generating counters. When KEY DATA goes
low; the signal labeled GO is enabled, thereby
releasing the shift register and the Bounce flop. At
this time the signal BOUNCE is low which enables
every cycle of the clock RCO to propagate through
gate E3, located in zoneD2, to the clock input of the
shift register. This clock (900 Hz) determines the
length of time allowed for the mechanical key switch
to stop bouncing. It allows five cycles ofthis clock to
pass before the decision is made that the code is

The two character generator ROMs are rather
straightforward. The upper case ROM is a standard
masked part (2513) but the lower case ROM is a
custom masked part. The one unusual thing about
this is that all of the address lines into the lower case
character generator are inverted.
6.8.3 Video Serializer

The video serializer used is a 74166, eight bit shift
register which is preset once every 643 nsec and
shifted at an input clock rate of 10.8864 MHz. Gate
K16-5 (74LSOO, zone AI) is used to blank the video
during a READ BACK operation. This is required
because the CBUF registers are used to send
memory data to the transmit U ART without regard
to its effect on the video display. Since the result is
quite unusual, this gate was installed. Gate J9
(74LSOO, zone A I) is used as the video driver.

6-11

and 5. There are two ways to effect this bit 6
inversion. The normal shift keys and the UPPER
CASE ALPHA switch.

stable. At the end of these five cycles, the signal
BOUNCE goes high which does two things. First,
the clock input to the shift register is disabled
through gate D2 at zone D2. Secondly, the
SHIFT I LD line to the shift register is taken to the
loading state by gate F5 in zone D2. The circuit is
now waiting for one of two things to happen; the
character key being released or the REPT key being
depressed. In the event that the key is released, KEY
DA T A will immediately go high and the entire
circuit will revert to the idling state. If the REPT key
is depressed without releasing the first key, the
SHIFT I LD line goes to the shift state because of
F5-2 (zone D2). Notice now that when BOUNCE went high at the end of the first shift register cycle,
the term RCRESET was allowed to gate the clock
RCO effectively cutting its rate to 60 Hz to 50 Hz
depending on the position of the 50 160 Hz selection
switch. This new clock rate will now determine the
repeat rate from the keyboard. The shift register will
now shift at the lower rate, generating a load pulse
every time DOUT goes high and continuing until
the REPT key is released or the primary key is
released. The repeat rate is 12.5 char I sec at 60 Hz
and 10 char I sec at 50 Hz. The term THRE into gate
H5-5 (zone D2) is there to slow the repeat rate ifthe
baud rate selected has a character time longer than
the period of the repeat cycle. The terms READ and
READ in this circuit are activated by the read-back
circuit which is used for internal LSI testing only. In
normal operation, the ADM-3A memory cannot be
read by the computer. When the read-back is
activated, the keyboard control circuit is fooled into
thinking that it is repeating a code. The one
difference is that the circuit now repeats utilizing the
debouncing clock and not the slower clock. The
data lines are naturally switched to the memory
output which occurs on schematic sheet 8.

The UPPER CASE ALPHA switch is used on
systems where no lower case alpha codes are
tolerated. Therefore, while in this mode, the normal
SHIFT keys have no effect on the alpha keys. Upper
case alpha is always generated. This is accomplished
at gate L10 (zone A3). L1O-2 and LlO-1 decode the
fact that the code originates in columns 6 or 7.
Notice that in the matrix above, the only codes in
columns 6 or 7 are the twenty-six lower case alpha
codes. The six remaining non-alpha codes are
placed in columns 4 and 5. Therefore, the KC6 KC7
decode in gate L10 definitely picks out only the
lower case alpha codes. The normal SHIFT
function for columns 4 through 7 is accomplished in
gate K10 (zone B4). If KC7 is set, identifying it as·
columns 4 through 7, and the SHIFT key IS
depressed, bit 6 is unconditionally inverted.
The CLEAR key, located in zone A2, is utilized in
conjunction with the SHIFT key to clear the refresh
memory, clear the KEYBOARD LOCK circuit, and
clear the 110 interface circuitry. This combination is
done in gate L12 located in zone AI.
The BREAK key (zone B3) is used to signal the
computer that I I 0 termination is desired. When
depressed, this key has one of two effects, depending
on whether the unit is in the transmit or receive
mode. If the unit is transmitting when the BREAK is
activated, the primary transmit data line (BA, pin 2)
is driven to the "spacing" state for as long as the key
is depressed. If the unit is receiving data and is in the
202, reverse channel mode, the SECONDARY
TRANSMIT DATA line (SA, pin 11) is driven to
the "marking" state.
The last function on this sheet is the HERE IS
circuit. If the ADM-3A has this option installed, the
depression of this key initiates the transmission of a
unique message to the computer. This message is
contained in PROM in the option and can be up to
32 characters long. This transmission can also be
activated with the receipt of an ENQ code from the
computer. An ENQ code generated at the local
keyboard will not be recognized because of the
lockout circuit in zones A 1 and A3. Locally
generated characters will cause the flip-flop
(KSDL Y) to be set at the time the· character is
transmitted (XLOAD). The output KSDL Y will be
false until either a remote character is received, or
the local character is acknowledged in half-duplex.
At this time DOlT will reset the flop. The term
KSDLY, in conjunction with the Enquiry-code
(ENQ) will prevent a locally-generated ENQ from
being recognized.

There are three methods by ~hich the code normally
generated by the scanning circuit can be altered.
First, the depression of the CTRL key (zone A2)
unconditionally drives bits 6 and 7 to the low state.
This means that the code generated will be driven to
columns 0 or 1 depending on the state of bit 5. This is
the means by which control codes, noton individual
keys, are generated. The next way that the code can
be altered is by inverting bit 5. This is used to create
the shifted (upper case) codes in USASCII columns
2 and 3. Gate K 10 (74LSOO) in zone A4 identifies the
code generated as a column 2 or 3 code. Row 0 is
eliminated from this shifting because the SPACE
code and the ZERO code are not affected by the
shift key. This is done at LlO-9 (zone A3). The last
way to alter the code is by inverting bit 6. This is
used to shift from the lower case alpha codes in
column 6 and 7 to the upper case codes in columns 4

6-12

signal TRE (zone B3) is high. If both conditions are
present, the buffer data will be automatically
transferred to the serializer on the next clock. At this
time, TRE will go low to indicate that the serializer
is being used. When both signals are high, the
transmitter section is completely empty. These two
UART signals are combined to create the
"bouncing" REQUEST TO SEND signal selectable
on the interface. When either of these signals,
THRE or TRE, is low it will cause R TS to be high.
Therefore, the R TS signal will "surround" the
transmitted character.

6.10.1 Data Transmitter

The transmitter and control sections of the U ART
are shown on this schematic. Indicated on U ART
pins 26 through 32 are the seven bits which comprise
the USASCn code. XDA T A 7 is the most
significant bit and XD A TAl the least significant.
This code to be transmitted to the line comes from
one of three sources. In normal operation, the
keyboard circuit and the ANSWER BACK option
can generate the code. However, during testing the
contents of the memory are sent through the U AR T
during READ-BACK. Pin 40 of the UART is the
transmitter clock input. The source of this clock
comes from sheet 11 where it is controlled by
CLEAR TO SEND (sheet 12, zone D3). If there is
no CTS, this input will remain high. In normal
operation, the clock on this line will be the same as
receive clock input. The frequency will be 16 times
the desired transmit baud rate. However, with the
split clock option, the transmit and receive rates can
be different. The receive rate is always controlled by
the main baud rate switches under the cover, while
with the split speed option, the little rotary switch in
front of the keyboard controls the transmit rate.
This rotary switch is accessible only when the unit is
open. All baud rates are available on this switch
except for 1800 baud. With the split speed option,
the selection of 1800 baud as the receive rate limits
the selection of the transmit rate to 110 baud. No
other baud rates are legal.

The last signal out of the U AR T transmitter section,
is naturally, the serial data. This line marks in the
high state and the indication of character starting is
this line going low for the start bit of the character.
The data bits in the following byte are then sent in a
serial manner with the least significant bit first,
through data bit 7, followed by the parity bit (if
enabled) and the one or two stop bits. The data at
this point is "true" data, that is a "one" is indicated
by a high level and a "zero" by a low level. This data
. is then sent through gate C6 (zone A3). C6-4 accepts
the signal from the BREAK key shown on drawing
9, zone B3. The depression of this key takes the
transmit data line to the spacing (high) state. Input
C6-3 accepts data generated by the device connected
to the extension port and received by the 1489 EIA
receiver A6 (zone A4). This combined data signal
(C6-6, 74SLlO, zone A3) is then sent to both the EIA
and CURRENT LOOP transmitters. The selection
of the transmitter to be used is governed by the
switch schematically represented in zone C3 and
labeled RS232/ CL. This switch is physically located
under the little plate next to the keyboard. When the
switch is positioned to the left (closed), the EIA
transmitter is selected. When one transmitter is
selected, the unused transmitter will maintain a
marking output to the outside world. Therefme, the
RS232/ CL switch can be used for "local" operation
where data is desired out the extension port but not
out of the main I/O port. The transmitted EIA data
is level shifted through the 1488 A9 located in zone
Al and out to the EIA connector, pin 2.

Pin 23 on the U AR T is the loading signal for the
transmitter section. The normal state of this line is
high and it only goes low when serial tranmission of
the data present on the XDATA input pins 26
through 32 is desired. The two sources of this
loading signal are the keyboard circuit and the
ANSWER BACK option board.
Two control signals are utilized from the transmitter
section. These are TRANSMITTER HOLDING
REGISTER EMPTY (THRE) and TRANSMIT
REGISTER EMPTY (TRE). The U AR T utilized in
this unit is buffered on the transmitter data input
lines and therefore, when the loading signal is given
on pin 23, the XDA T A lines are transferred to a
buffer register instead of directly to the serializer.
When this buffer, called the TRANSMITTER
HOLDING REGISTER is loaded, the signal
THRE (zone A3) goes low. The transfer of the data
from this buffer to the serializer is contingent on the
transmitter clocks being present (CTS high) and the
serializer being empty. If the serializer is empty, the

6.10.2 Control Section of UART

The control section of the U ART is also shown on
schematic #10. The MASTER CLEAR is driven
high when the U AR T is to be cleared (pin 21). There
are five characteristics of the transmitted data that
can be selected by the toggle switches under the
panel. First is the STOP BIT SELECT input on pin
36. When this line is held low, one stop bit will be
attached to the transmitted byte while a high signal
will select two stop bits. The next input controls the
WORD LENGTH SELECT. A high input selects
an 8 bit data word while a low levelselects a 7 bit

6-13

. 6.11 SCHEMATIC SHEET #11 BAUD RATE GENERATION

data word. UART pin 39 is EVEN PARITY
ENABLE which it would do if this pin is allowed to
go high. Odd parity is selected by moving the switch
to the left and driving this input low. PARITY
INHIBIT is located on U ART pin 35. Parity
generation is inhibited if the switch is to the right
and the input is high. If this input is low then the
U ART control will read the parity selection input
(pin 39). If this input is high, then pin 39 is ignored.
The last control input is pin 33, BIT 8 CONTROL.
This input is active only if the ORD LENGTH
SELECT input (pin 38) is high and an 8 bit word is
selected. This control input is then used to choose a
"mark" or a "space" in the eighth data bitposition.

This schematic comprises the counters and
associated logic, required for the generation of
transmit and receive clocking functions for the
U AR T. For a given BA UD-rate at the interface and
to the terminal, the U AR T must be supplied with a
clock-train 16 times the frequency of the 110 serial
pulse-train. For the highest available BAUD-rate
(19,200), this requires a UART clock-rate of 307.2
Khz. For the lowest (75 baud) rate, the UART must
be supplied with a 1.2 Khz clock. To accomplish the
required frequency division, three counters are
provided (zones D 1 - D4) which use as their primary
input, the DCI function from the dot-counter,
which has a cyclic rate of 3.1104 Mhz. The three
counters normally divide this signal, progressively
by 5, 16 and 16. Accordingly, the output from the
third stage of the first counter (CLK1, zone D3) will
represent a division by 5, and have a cyclic rate of
622.08 Khz; approximately double the required
UART clock rate for 19,200 baud. If the 19200 baud
switch (zone B2) is closed, this signal (DOUBLE
CLK) is routed to the Receive Clock (RECV CLK)
Flip-flop, where is it divided by two, to provide a
clock-rate of 311 Khz. This signal is approximately
1.2% higher than the ideal rate, but well within the
accuracy requirements of contemporary communications links .. Unless the etch-link is cut, to enable
split baud rates, the same signal selected for the
Receive Clock, is also sent to the Transmit Clock
(XMIT CLK) flip-flop, for division by two.

6.10.3 Current Loop XMTR/RCVR
The last item on this sheet is the CURRENT LOOP
transmitter I receiver combination. The current loop
differs from the circuits in the ADM-IA and 2
primarily because it is bipolar. That is, current
direction is immaterial. The transmitter and receiver
can run completely isolated from the ADM-3A
which is its normal operating mode. However,
provision has been made inside the unit to tie one leg
of the transmitter or receiver to + 12 volts through a
. resistor to create a current source. As an alternative,
a ground strap can be installed, in place of the
resistor, to act as a current sink in the case of a
positive external voltage source or as a current
source in the event an external negative sink is
provided. The CURRENT LOOP circuits operate
over a range of 16 to 24ma, at a peak supply voltage
of 20 VDC.

6.10.4 Keyboard Logic
The signals labeled LOCK and UNLOCK are used
to control the KEYBOARD LOCK flip-flop
located in zone D I of this sheet. The code used to
unlock the keyboard is a USASClI SO (octal 016)
and the code used to lock is a USASClI SI (octal
017). The CLEAR SCREEN function is activated
by USASClI SUB (octal 032). The SPACE decode
is created in H2-4 (7402, zone A I) to recognize this
code for the nondestructive cursor feature. The
USASCII ENQ is used to activate the ANSWER
BACK option (if installed). This decode is
combined with the depression of the HERE IS key
on the keyboard schematic (sheet #8).
The flip-flop located in zone D 1 is used to control
the locking and unlocking of the keyboard circuit.
Notice that there is a switch in the LOCK input to
disa ble this feature if the particular application
dictates that the USASCII SI code be used for other
purposes. There are two ways to unlock a previously
locked keyboard. The first is the receipt of the
USASCII SO code. The keyboard can also be
unlocked by the simultaneous depression of the
SHIFT and CLEAR keys which generate the signal
named KEY CLR.

Since most of the common baud-rates used with the
ADM-3A are sub-multiples of 19200 baud, they are
derived by progressively dividing the 622 Khz signal
by 256 in the two remaining counters. The only rates
which cannot be derived in this manner are 1800
baud and 110 baud. The former is generated by
causing the first counter to divide by 6 instead of 5,
and the second to divide by 9 rather than 16. The
resultant division by 54 will provide a signal at the
fourth stage (CLK5) of the second counter, with a
cyclic-rate of 57.6 Khz, which is exactly the required
double-clock frequency.
If a baud-rate of 110 is desired, the counters are
forced to divide by 5, 16 and 11 for a combined
division of 880. The resultant signal at the fourth
stage (CLK9) of the final counter will have a cyclic
rate· of 3.534 Khz, which is 0.4% higher than the
ideal double-clock frequency of 3.52 Khz.

In the event split baud rates are desired, the etchlink shown at zone B 1 must be cut, and a rotary
baud-rate switch (zone A2) must be installed. Due
to the nature of non-standard division-string, the
split-baud rate features cannot be used when either
110 or 1800 baud are selected.

PAINT
All tests conducted after fourteen days air curing
period.

DRYING:

POLANE T®, catalyzed with POLANE® Catalyst
V66 V 27, air-dries to touch and handle in 30-60
minutes, and can be force dried for 30 minutes at
180°-200°F. POLANE T® catalyzed with
POLANE® Catalyst V66 V 29 air dries to touch and
handle in 2-4 hours and can be force ~ried in 30
minutes at 200°-250°F.

1. 5% salt spray - 500 hours, plus. Excellent
2. 100% relative humidity - 500 hours. No effect.·
3. Water immersion - fresh, salt, distilled - 100
hours, plus. No effect.
4. Lacquer thinner, acetone, gasoline, Xylol
resistance. 20 rubs with saturated cloth.

POT LIFE:

5. Excellent resistance to lubricating oils, coolants
and phosphate ester hydraulic fluids.

POLANE T® is a two-component system - but
this does not affect its production versatility. Finish
coats have an 8 hr. working pot life after
catalyzation. If it's necessary to "carry" catalyzed
material over a week-end, simply add 80%
uncatalyzed material to the mixture to extend pot
life. On Monday, the required amount of catalyst is
added.
'

6. 24 hours boiling water. Excellent.
7. Cold check: 16 cycles; 24 hours, 100% humidity;
24 hours, -10°F; 24 hours -72°F.
excellent.
8. Pencil hardness 9. Flexibility effect.

PRECAUTIONS:

H to 2H.

Ys inch conical mandrel. No

W. Excellent abrasion resistance. Taber abrasion
CS 17 wheel, 1000 gm. load: 2,500
revolutions/l mil removal; 0.090 gm.
loss / 1,000 cycles.

Do not spray hot. Heat will shorten pot life.
Do not pump from drums into circulating systems.
Friction heat developed by pumps and circulation
will shorten pot life.

Gloss - textured finish gloss range 10°-30°,
measured on 60° photovoltmeter. Higher ranges are
available.

Do not dip.
Do not flo-coat.
The catalyzing ratios as outlined have been
established to provide optimum hardness, flexibility
and chemical and solvent resistance. Slight over or
under catalyzation will not seriously affect
performance.

APPLICATION CATALYZATION:

POLANE "[® is a two-component finish, and must
be catalyzed 6 parts base materials to 1 part
POLANE® Catalyst V66 V 27 or V66 V 29. This
mixture is then split into two batches - one for the
smooth and one for the spatter coat that is necessary
to obtain the textured effect.

Excessive over catalyzation will result in increased
hardness with marked brittleness and less flexibility.
The gloss will also be increased. In the case of the
spray fillers and glazing fillers, sanding will become
more difficult.

Prior to application, the smooth base coat should
then be reduced three parts catalyzed material to
one part POLANE® 'Reducer R 7 K 69.

Excessive under catalyzation will produce
insufficient hardness, poor adhesion and poor
chemical and solvent resistance.

The spatter coat is not reduced.

POLANE T® should be applied only in wellventilated areas. Wearing of a chemical cartridge
respirator is recommended.

POLANE® Catalyst V66 V 27 is recommended for
interior use. POLANE® Catalyst V66 V 29 is
. recommended for exterior use. The use of
POLANE® Catalyst V66 V 27 on an exterior
exposure would lead to premature chalking or loss
of gloss. The POLANE® Catalyst V66 V 29
produces a more chalk @esistantcoating with
excellent gloss retention. POLANE®\ Catalyst V66
V 29 does however increase the cure time
requirement.

CHARACTERISTICS:

The tests below were conducted on standard
POLANE T® quality. Test surface - Panels of
Parker Bonderite 1000 with 1 to 1.2 mil dry film
thickness of PO LANE T®.

Polane T® -

REDUCTION:

Second Texture Coat

Use De Vilbiss MBC gun with E
tip and needle and No. 70 air cap
of Binks No. 19 gun with 6666PD nozzle combination.
15 p.s.i. fluid pressure.
15-20 p.s.i. atomizing pressure.

POLANE T® Reducer R7 K 69 is a medium to fast
evaporating solvent recommended for reducing
catalyzed POLANE T® first smooth coat to
spraying viscosity.
For more specific information on the catalyzation
and reduction of POLANE T® materials, follow
instructions on the direction label or request a .
detailed data sheet on the particular POLANE T®
material in question.

For application by Ransburg, DeVilbiss or
N ordson . electronstatic hand guns, the solvent
balance can generally be adjusted to the proper
polarity using R 7 K 69 reducer to produce
satisfactory wrap of base coat.

SPRAYING:

These adjustments will vary with the particular
POLANE T® material involved, and specific
recommendations should be requested from the
laboratory before conducti'ng trial runs or tests.

POLANE T® Base coat can be applied with
standard pressure or suction feed spray equipment.
The texture coat must use pressure equipment.
Polane T® First (Base) Coat

In regard to the texture coat, the texture may be
varied by balancing the atomizing against the fluid
pressure until the desired.size is obtained. The lower
the atomizing pressure, the larger the pattern. The
flatness of the pattern can be set by adjusting the
viscosity of the spatter coat. The lpwer the viscosity;
the flatter the texture. Recommendations above
indicate no reduction for the spatter coat to obtain
an acceptable pattern; however, reduction may be
necessary to obtain special effects. Once the
variables - viscosity, atomizing and fluid pressure
- have been set, it is a simple matter to obtaina
consistent texture on each part.

Pressure feed -

Use De Vilbiss MBC gun with E
tip and needle and No. 765 air
cap.
5-8 p.s.i. fluid pressure.
40-45 p.s.i. atomizing pressure.
Suctio-n feed - Use De Vilbiss MBC gun with E tip
.
and needle and No. 30 air can.
40-50 p.s.i. atomizing pressure.
The smooth first coat should be sprayed to
approximately 1 mil dry. Allow 5 minutes to flashoff before application of the spatter coat.
