Introduction
SECTION 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
The Wang 300 Series of solid-state electronic
calculators comprises several models, each tai-
lored to perform a specific range of arithmetic
operations. Table 1-1 lists in general terms the
applications normally supported by the vari-
ous models. Each model is discussed in detail
throughout this manual to give the user a full
working knowledge of his particular equip-
ment. It is suggested that a new user read and
become familiar with the contents of this man-
ual before attempting installation and opera-
tion. Operating techniques are very simple and
can be readily learned in a few minutes. Model
numbers, if not known, can be found on the
identification tags, located on the bottom of
each unit.
Each calculator is comprised of two major
units; the keyboard, and the electronic pack-
age. The “K” suffix toa keyboard model num-
ber signifies a conventional keyboard, a “KT”
suffix signifies a trigonometric keyboard, and
a “KR” suffix signifies a trigonometric key-
board with radian input. The electronic pack-
age portion of the calculator bears an “E”
suffix for non-simultaneous operation and an
“SE” suffix for simultaneous operation. Sec-
tion 2 of this manual explains the many in-
stallation arrangements possible with Wang
calculators.
Two accessories, a card programmer (CP-1)
and an item counter (IC-1) are available for
use on any model in the 300 Series. The card
programmer is an especially helpful addition
for users that perform repetitive operations.
It is connected in series between the keyboard
and the electronic package and uses standard
80-step data cards that can be readily punched
by the user for his particular programs. The
item counter proves its value for users that re-
quire item counts, operational step monitor-
ing, and function monitoring. It is connected
to the keyboard, and like the card programmer
can be placed on the user’s desk for conven-
ience. Detailed descriptions and operating in-
structions for each are included, where ap-
plicable, throughout this manual.

1.2 MODEL 300 ELECTRONIC CALCULATOR
The Model 300 Calculator is the basic model
in the 300 Series. Operational capabilities in-
clude addition, subtraction, multiplication,
chain multiplications, divisions, reciprocals,
percentages, automatic extensions, weighted
averages, etc. Two independent adders, one on
each side of the keyboard, provide storage and
recall capability. Accumulating switches are
provided for automatic accumulation of entries
and /or multipliers in the right adder, and pro-
duct or extension accumulations in the left
adder.
All operations, as well as number and deci-
mal input, are initiated by the keys on the key-
board. Display is provided by *% in. high glare-
free indicator tubes that display the readout
in conventional form (algebraic sign and nu-
merical value with properly positioned deci-
mal point).

A “clear display” key enables the user to
clear the display without destructing the con-
tents of the accumulators, etc. A “‘clear all”
key is provided to clear the accumulators and

display when desired. A “‘change sign” key,
when depressed, reverses the sign of the num-
ber in the display.
Both simultaneous and non-simultaneous
operations are available with this model. The
installation section of this manual depicts the
many methods of installation and operation.
All accessory equipment can be utilized with
the Model 300.
1.3 MODEL 310 ELECTRONIC
CALCULATOR
The Model 310 provides all the features and
functions of the Model 300 plus two addition-
al operational keys for the functions of X and
X?. Both operations are performed instanta-
neously and furnish direct 10-digit readout in
the display window. The accumulation switch-
es, in addition to their normal functions, pro-
vide DX, DX?, VY, VY?, U(X+Y), D(X), BV,
and 2x. The accumulated totals are recallable
to the display at any time. Both simultaneous
and non-simultaneous operations are available
with the Model 310, as well as accessory
equipment.

1.4 MODEL 320 ELECTRONIC
CALCULATOR
The Model 320 provides all the features and
functions of the Model 310 plus two addition-
Section 1
Introduction
Figure 1-3. Model 320K Keyboard
al operational keys for the functions of log.x
and eX. Both operations are performed instan-
taneously and furnish direct 10-digit readout
in the display window; the accuracy for log.x
functions is 12 digits, the eX accuracy is 11
digits. The addition of the log functions allow
the user to generate logs and exponents to any
base, simplifying calculations in many areas
of applications. Chain multiplication and di-
vision, using cumbersome numerical values, can
be readily manipulated by using the log and
antilog approach. Techniques for using the log
keys are discussed in the operation section of
this manual and can be readily learned in
minutes. Both simultaneous and non-simul-
taneous operations are available with the Model
320, as well as accessory equipment. Trigo-
nometric keyboards for single keystroke gener-
ation of sine, cosine, arc sine, and arc tangent
in degrees or radians are also available in this
model.
1.5 MODEL 360 ELECTRONIC
CALCULATOR
The Model 360 provides all the features and
functions of the Model 320 plus four storage
registers with capacity for 14-digit numbers
and algebraic signs. Eight additional keys have
been added to the keyboard to furnish random-

Introduction
to differentiate between the registers.The exe-
cution of the register operation keys prior to
depressing the address key prevents the nor-

access recall and store operations. The ‘“‘clear
all” function does not affect the registers and
numbers previously put into any storage regis-
ter will remain until a new number is stored.
The ability to store constants, intermediate
answers, Or multiple results allows the user to
perform many calculations without re-entering
the data. The Model 360 is available with trig-
onometric keyboards for degree or radian in-
puts. Simultaneous electronic packages are
available with this model.
1.6 MODEL 362 ELECTRONIC
CALCULATOR
The Model 362 provides all the features and
functions of the Model 320 and has a keyboard
arrangement similar to the Model 360. The
four extra registers of the latter are replaced
by 12 registers, each with a 14-digit capacity
(plus sign and decimal storage). Each register
may be used as a storage register or as an ac-
cumulator. When used as storage, any register
may be “split” into two “halves”, each with
independent store and recall capabilities. Ca-
pacity of the “half registers”’ is six digits, sign,
and full 10-place decimal location. Two key-
strokes are required to command the registers
(i.e., store full and 9). The number keys 0-9,
clear display key, and change sign key are used
1-4
mal key functions.
Figure 1-5. Model 362K Keyboard
The Model 362 is available with trigonomet-
ric keyboards for degree or radian inputs.
Simultaneous electronic packages are not a-
vailable with this model.
1.7 TRIGONOMETRIC KEYBOARDS
Six trigonometric keyboards are available in
the 300 Series (320KT or 320KR, 360KT or
360KR, and 362KT or 362KR). Two configu-
rations are available depending on user’s re-
quirements; the KT models accept angular in-
put in degrees, the KR models accept angular
input in radians. The keyboards are identical
to the non-trigonometric keyboards with the
exception of four additional keys (SIN, COS,
SIN’, TAN“). All trigonometric keyboards
operate with theirassociated standard electron-
ic packages.
Results are readily obtained by entering the
angle, sine, or tangent and depressing the ap-
propriate key. The answer in degrees and frac-
tions is read in the display eliminating the need
for table references and error-prone tedious

interpolation. Table 1-2 lists the range of input
variables and accuracies.
Trigonometric functions utilize both ac-
cumulators, as well as the log registers; there-
fore, these registers should not be used before
trigonometric calculations. If extra storage is
necessary for other operations, a Model 360
or 362 Calculator with additional storage reg-
isters (not affected by trigonometric calcula-
tions) should be chosen.
1.8 MODEL CP-1 CARD PROGRAMMER
The Model CP-1 Card Programmer is a com-
pact, general-purpose plug-in accessory which
enables automatic calculator operations when
used with any 300 Series Keyboard. It reads
80-step 2-digit octal program codes, corres-
ponding to keyboard operations, from punch-
ed tab cards.
Figure 1-7. Model CP-1 Card Programmer
A Card Programmer is series-connected be-
tween the electronic package and the keyboard
by use of the attached 12-foot cable and side-
panel connector. One CP-1 may be used with
Section 1
Introduction
each terminal of the electronic package (up to
four for a simultaneous electronic package).
The CP-1 may be used in conjunction with a
trigonometric keyboard on the same electron-
ic package terminal, but cannot initiate trig
programs under card program control. Exten-
sion cables up to 50 feet in length may be used
to interconnect the CP-1 with an electronic
package.
The CP-1 is enclosed in a cast housing with
START and CONTINUE push button controls
at the top. Bifurcated contacts and a high me-
chanical advantage lever closure mechanism
provide reliable reading of static tab cards.
Built-in electronic circuits are solid-state, and
of plug-in construction. An auto/manual
switch on the side of the programmer enables
the user to examine and verify each program
step when initiating a new program.
Programs are recorded using pre-scored tab
cards, prepared using a port-a-punch and sty-
lus. The sequence of manual keystrokes re-
quired to execute the problem are determined
and recorded. The corresponding program
code bits are sequentially punched out on the
pre-scored tab cards. A “stop” code provides
the means for entering the variables into a
program.
An excellent library of programs is furnish-
ed free with each CP-1.
1.9 THE MODEL IC-1 ITEM COUNTER
The Model IC-1 Item Counter is an optional
accessory that can be used with any keyboard
in the 300 Series. It provides the user with the
means for obtaining a ready reference to the
number of addition, subtraction, multiplica-
tion, division, square root, and square opera-
tions, or any combination of these operations
in any calculation. The capacity of the counter
is 10,000 less 1 (9,999).
Operation is controlled by a series of select-
or switches. When a function count is desired,
the appropriate switch is placed to the up
position. A reset control is provided for re-
setting the counter to zero between calcula-
tions.
The counter has an attached 18-inch cable
that connects to any 300 Series Keyboard that
has been modified with an IC-1 mating con-
nector. Connectors are factory installed on
keyboards shipped with item counters, other
keyboards can be returned to the factory for
retrofitting.

1.10 MISCELLANEOUS ITEMS
T Connector. — A T Connector is a small
device used to connect two keyboards in paral-
lel to one terminal of an electronic package. T
Connectors may be arranged to allow the op-
eration of four keyboards from one non-simul-
taneous electronic package or up to sixteen
from one simultaneous electronic package.
When the latter setup is used, one keyboard of
each group of four may be operated at any
one time.
PT Connector. — A PT Connector is similar
to a T Connector except one input side has
priority over the other side.
MX Multiplexer. — The MX Multiplexer is a
rack-chassis that contains solid-state logic and
plug-in switching relays for automatic inter-
connection in any combination of sixteen key-
boards to a single simultaneous electronic pack-
age. Any four of the sixteen keyboards can be
simultaneously used.
MX Connector. — The MX Connector is a T
connector used with the MX Multiplexer to en-
able up to sixteen additional keyboards to be
connected to the multiplexer for occasional
use.
Filters and Transformers. — A line filter is
offered to reduce interference from devices
which impress electrical noise on the AC pow-
er line. Examples are some mechanical calcu-
lators and X-ray machines. Two sizes of isola-
tion transformers are also offered for the same
purpose. A voltage control transformer is of-
fered for excellent voltage regulation of vary-
ing or consistently low-voltage power lines and
moderate line noise suppression. Before order-
ing these devices, it is suggested that the user
contact the nearest Wang office for an on-the-
job trial, rarely are they needed.
Carrying Cases. — A ruggedized “suitcase”
is offered for transporting non-simultaneous
electronic packages, and an attache case is
Section 1
Introduction
available for carrying one or two keyboards
and a card programmer.
Cables and Connectors. — Cable may be
ordered in bulk, with separate connectors, as
required. 30-conductor AWG No. 26 wire, in
a0.003 in. O.C., 80°C PVC Jacket is furnished.
Male connectors are offered for connection to
the electronic packages and female connectors
for the keyboards. Connector assembly dwg.
no. 5315 gives soldering information. If cables
are installed within or behind walls, a surface
mounting box and wall mount cover plate are
available to provide a neat termination of the
extension cable near the user’s desk. Standard
lengths of extension cable with attached con-
nectors are available in 25 foot incremental
lengths ranging from 25 feet to 200 feet.
Port-a-punch. — The Port-a-punch, manu-
factured by IBM, is recommended as ideally
suited for low-cost preparation of CP-1 pro-
gram cards. A stylus is included with the
Port-a-punch.
Program Pads and Cards. — Pad-form work-
sheets for preparation of programs, retention
of program running instructions and descrip-
tion are available. Also, prescored 80-step tab
cards for use with the CP-1 Card Programmer
are available in various quantities.

SECTION 2
INSTALLATION
2.1 GENERAL
This section includes installation setup, and
pre-operating information necessary for trou-
ble-free operation of Model 300 Series equip-
ment. It is suggested that the new user read
and become familiar with the information con-
tained herein before attempting to operate the
equipment. Full utilization of the equipment
with the many possible configurations can be
readily understood by careful perusal of the
arrangement diagrams. The relatively few pre-
cautionary requirements should always be fol-
lowed to eliminate possible equipment mal-
functions.
2.2 UNPACKING AND INSPECTION
Carefully unpack your equipment. Inspect
all units for shipping damage; if damage is no-
ticed, do not proceed. Notify shipping agency.
Check equipment received against purchase or-
der. Decals specifying model numbers can be
found on all Wang equipment. The decals are
normally located on the bottom of the units.
2.3 SPECIAL INSTALLATIONS
If special installation requirements are de-
sired (i.e., over-the-ceiling or between-the-
wall), contact your Wang representative for de-
tailed instructions. Users who prefer having
the cables in walls or ceilings must furnish their
own electrician. For such installations, Wang
Laboratories can provide suggestions on ex-
tension cables, location of electronic packages,
and environmental accessories needed to make
the Wang equipment function effectively. If
actual soldering work (i.e., connectors to ex-
tension cables) is requested of Wang Labora-
tories, time and travel charges will be billed at
standard rates.
2.4 LOCATION OF ELECTRONIC
PACKAGES
Electronic packages, both simultaneous and
non-simultaneous operate efficiently at room
temperature. Because a certain amount of heat
accumulates in the package when power is ap-
plied, it is advisable to place the unit in a loca-
tion where there is some free air movement.
Unventilated storage cabinets, closets, etc. are
undesirable; cases have been known when a
very close environment caused temperatures
inside the electronic package to rise above
130° F. This temperature would present an op-
erating limitation to the equipment and can
cause malfunctions to occur.
2.5 EQUIPMENT INTERCONNECTING
ARRANGEMENTS
Many different hookup configurations are
possible with the 300 Series equipment line.
Figure 2-1 illustrates in block diagram form
some of the most common configurations. Be-
cause of design parameters, limitations are im-
posed on some configurations. If in doubt
about special arrangements not included here-
in, please contact your Wang representative for
further information. Connector shape allows
only one method of mating; note configura-
tion of connectors. Secure connectors with
spring locks.
2.6 SPECIAL CONSIDERATIONS
Keyboard extension cables cannot be placed
in a conduit which is already occupied by an
AC power line. Conduits should be used to pro-
tect extension cables which are subjected to
indefinite exposure outdoors, extreme tropi-
cal conditions of saturation, humidity, and
high ambient temperatures.
Section 2
Installation
For multiple-outlet installations, the non-
simultaneous electronic package, or each of
the four output channels of the simultaneous
package, is limited to a two-tier, three T-
Connector maximum setup for branching to
four regular keyboard outlets.
A maximum length limitation of 200 feet
should not be exceeded when using extension
cables between standard keyboards (not KTs)
and electronic packages.
The branching maximum is limited to a two
T-Connector, three outlet setup whenever a
CP-1 Card Programmer, or a KT Trigonometric
Keyboard is attached. Further, either of these
items must be connected to a first-tier or pri-
mary T-Connector. This rule also applies when
a priority PT-Connector is used.
Due to power requirements, the extension
cable from the electronic package to the CP-1
Programmer or to the KT Trigonometric Key-
board is limited to a 50-foot maximum length.
Caution must be taken to prevent overload-
ing a channel with more than one KT Trigo-
nometric Keyboard or more than one CP-1
Card Programmer. For maximum safety in con-
trol of outlets, the T-Connectors should be
located close to the electronic package.
Using T-Connectors, the keyboard turned
on first will go “on line”. Displays on the re-
maining outlets will not light up. In all T-
branched connections, each keyboard user
should establish a courtesy habit of turning off
the keyboard after use.
A priority PT-Connector permits one of
three interlinked keyboards to preempt the
electronic package for immediate use and in-
terrupt any unfinished work initiated on an-
other keyboard. The electronic package sup-
ports only one priority keyboard on the first
tier of a PT-Connector. Two additional normal
outlets can be used.
When a CP-1 Card Programmer and a KT
Trigonometric Keyboard are used together,
2-2
they must be directly coupled to the electronic
package.
Four outlets are the maximum amount
available from any one channel of an electron-
ic package (please remember KT and CP-1
restrictions).
A simultaneous electronic package can al-
ways be substituted for a non-simultaneous
electronic package.
When a high numbered model of electronic
package is installed, it can accept keyboards of
a lower numbered series as well as its own
numbered series. A lower numbered electronic
package can operate with a higher numbered
keyboard (except 360K with 320E), but added
key functions of higher unit will not be opera-
tive.
Because of design characteristics, a Model 360K
Keyboard and a Model 320K Keyboard should not be
attached to the same T-Connector. When this condi-
tion exists, the Model 360K Keyboard loses the use of
its extra storage registers. Two Model 360K Keyboards
attached to a T-Connector would function normally.
A Model 360K Keyboard should not be attached
to a Model 320 Electronic Package; erroneous indica-
tions may occur.
2.7 TURN-ON PROCEDURE
After interconnecting the various units of
the system, peruse your equipment for power
switches. Place all power switches to OFF.
CAUTION:
The preceding procedure is ex-
tremely important. Damage to
the equipment can result if
power is applied to equipment
with power switches ON.
Connect units that require AC power to ex-
ternal AC power outlet. Three-pronged con-
nectors for common grounding are provided on
all Wang equipment for your safety.
IMPORTANT — Place power switch of elec-
tronic package to ON before placing remaining
power switches to ON. This sequence should
always be followed when turning on the
equipment.
If asimultaneous electronic package is used,
depress PRIME switch (red button) on top of
package. This purges all the circuits and resets
the circuits for operation; this also turns on a
flashing signal light on each keyboard display.
Depress CLEAR ALL switch(es) on key-
board(s). This switch should always be de-
pressed before beginning any set of calcula-
tions to clear accumulators, registers, etc. of
any previous data. The keyboard display
should show +.0000000000.
Equipment is now functioning and ready to
solve calculations. Refer to Section 3, Operat-
ing Instructions for detailed instructions.
Section 2
Installation
2.8 TURN-OFF PROCEDURE
Turn-off procedure is simple but important.
Always place keyboard power switch(es) to
OFF before disconnecting keyboards from
electronic packages. This simple precaution
prevents any transistor damage that could arise
from a voltage surge caused by a sudden dis-
connection. Electronic packages can remain
ON without damage. If a CP-1 Card Program-
mer is used, the keyboard should be discon-
nected before the card programmer. Likewise,
the reverse is advisable for connection policy.
REMEMBER!!
Always make certain that the
keyboard is turned off before
connecting or disconnecting
equipment. Also, heed turn-on
order; electronic package first,
then the keyboard(s).

SECTION 3
OPERATION
3.1 GENERAL
This section explains, by using typical ex-
amples, the operation of each keyboard func-
tion. It is suggested that the reader actually per-
form the sample problems on a keyboard to
gain experience and insight into the techniques
used for the many calculations.
3.2 PRECISION and ROUND OFF
Every register on the 300 Series contains 14
digits (not including decimal point). Although
they are not normally seen on the display, the
14 digits’ full precision is used in the operation
of addition, subtraction, and calculations of
logs and exponentials. In multiplication, divi-
sion, and computing of squares and square
roots, the calculations are performed to 14-
digit precision, and then rounded to 10 digits
for the display.
3.3 BASIC REGISTERS
All 300 Series Calculators contain three bas-
ic kinds of registers: a work register (display
window), two adders (left and right), and the
product or log register. The basic keyboard is
comprised of the black adder keys, the blue
log register keys, and the white numeral keys.
A distinctive feature of the Wang calculating
logic is the ability to generate logarithms and
exponentials. This ability is most readily seen
in the e* and log.x keys. While the use of this
type of logic adds considerable basic power to
the calculator, the explanations in this section
do not consider the arithmetic operation from
the point of view of logarithms. Multiplica-
tion, division, squaring, and extracting square
roots are all considered as normal algebraic
calculations.
3.4 KEYBOARD ARRANGEMENTS
Table 3-1 lists the keys associated with the
various models in the 300 Series calculator line.
Operating examples start with the keys that
are common to all models and progress through
the series to the explanations of the keys pe-
culiar to the more sophisticated models. Each
sample problem has been carefully chosen to
allow a fuller understanding of the calculator
operations. Users that require additional in-
formation for special applications are urged to
contact their local Wang Representative for
assistance. The ““Code”’ columns following the
various keystroke commands are listed for fa-
miliarity and are associated with the card pro-
gramming capability discussed in Section 4.
