Command Summary

Power Through DB9 Jumper

In order to provide power through pin 9 of the DB-9 Connector you must connect the Power Through
DB-9 Jumper labelled D, as illustrated below. This connection can be made using a zero ohm resistor,
recommended size 0603, or a solder bridge. The GLK19264A-7T-1U allows all voltage models to use the
power through DB-9 option, see the Voltage Specifications for power requirements.

Protocol Select Jumpers

The Protocol Select Jumpers provide the means necessary to toggle the GLK19264A-7T-1U between RS-
232, TTL and I²C protocols. As a default, the jumpers are set to RS-232 mode with solder jumps on the
RS232 jumpers. In order to place the display module in I²C mode you must first remove the solder jumps
from the RS232 jumpers and then place them on the I

C jumpers. The display will now be in I²C mode

and have a default slave address of 80, unless changed with the appropriate command. Similarly, in
order to change the display to TTL mode, simply remove the zero ohm resistors from the RS232 or I²C
jumpers and solder them to the TTL jumpers.

Hardware Lock

The Hardware Lock allows fonts, bitmaps, and settings to be saved, unaltered by any commands. By
connecting the two pads near the memory chip, designated R26, with a zero ohm resistor, the display
will be locked. This supersedes the data lock command and cannot be circumvented by any software
means. To unlock the display and make changes simply remove the jumper.
