KX-FP215 6.3.6. Reset Circuit (Watch dog timer) The output signal (reset) from pin 4 of the voltage detect IC (IC504) is input to the ASIC (IC501) 114 pin. 1. During a momentary power interruption, a positive reset pulse of 50~70 msec is generated and the system is reset com- pletely.
KX-FP215 6.3.7. RTC Backup Circuit 1. Function This unit has a lithium battery (BAT501) which works for Real Time Clock IC (RTC: inside IC501). The RTC continues to work, backed up by a lithium battery even when the power switch is OFF.
KX-FP215 6.3.8. Supervision Circuit for the Thermal Head Temperature 1. Function The thermistor changes the resistor according to the temperature and uses the thermistor's characteristics. The output of pin 139 of IC501 becomes a low level. Then when it becomes a high level, it triggers point A In point C, according to the voltage output time, the thermal head's temperature is detected.
KX-FP215 6.4. Facsimile Section 6.4.1. Image Data Flow During Facsimile Operation Copy (Fine, Super-Fine, Half Tone) 1. Line information is read by CIS (to be used as the reference white level) via route1, and is input to IC501. Refer to Block Dia- gram (P.25)
KX-FP215 6.4.3. Thermal Head 1. Function This unit utilizes the state of the art thermal printer technology. The ink film is chemically processed. The ink film is comprised of two parts: an ink layer and a base film. When the thermal head contacts this ink film, it emits heat momentarily, and the ink layer is melted and transferred to the paper.
KX-FP215 6.4.4. Scanning Block The scanning block of this device consists of a control circuit and a contact image sensor made up of a celfoc lens array, an LED array, and photoelectric conversion elements. When an original document is inserted and the start button pressed, pin 34 of IC501 goes to a high level and the transistor Q506 turns on.This applies voltage to the LED array to light it.
KX-FP215 6.4.5. Stepping Motor Drive Circuit 1. Function The stepping motor works for both transmission and reception. 2. Motor During motor driving, pin 124 of ASIC IC501 becomes a high level, and Q403, Q402 turns ON. As a result, +24V is supplied to the motor coil.
Page 30
KX-FP215 When the motor suspends while it is in the receive mode (about 70~80 msec), pin 124 of ASIC IC501 becomes a low level and Q403 turns OFF. Then Q402 also turns OFF, and instead of +24 V, +6 V is supplied through D401 so that the motor is held in place.
KX-FP215 6.5. Sensors and Switches All of the sensor and switches are shown below. Sensor Circuit Location Sensor Sensor or Switch Name Error Message Operation Panel SW351 Document top sensor [REMOVE DOCUMENT] SW352 Document set sensor [CHECK DOCUMENT] Sensor P.C.Board...
KX-FP215 6.5.1. Document Top Sensor (SW351) When a document is brought to the read position, the SW turns ON, and the input signal of IC301-6 pin (Operation Board) becomes a low level. When there is no document at the read position, the SW turns OFF, and the input signal of IC301-6 pin (Operation Board) becomes a high level.
KX-FP215 6.5.3. Paper Top Sensor (SW1001) When the recording paper is loaded on the print head or the recording paper cover is opened, the paper top sensor SW turns ON, and the input signal of IC501-21 pin (Digital Board) becomes a low level. Usually, the SW turns OFF, and the input signal of IC501- 21 pin (Digital Board) becomes a high level.
KX-FP215 6.5.5. Film End Sensor (SW1003) When a film is set, the SW turns ON, and the input signal of IC501-45 pin (Digital Board) becomes a low level. When there is no film, the SW turns OFF, and the input signal of IC501-45 pin (Digital Board) becomes a high level.
KX-FP215 6.6. Modem Section 6.6.1. Function The unit uses a 1 chip modem (IC505) that serves as an interface between the control section for FAX transmission and recep- tion and the telephone line. During a transmitting operation, the digital image signals are modulated and sent to the telephone line.

KX-FP215 12.5.5. Digital Board Section When the unit fails to boot up the system, take the troubleshooting procedures very carefully. It may have a serious problem. The symptom: No response when the power is turned on. (No LCD display, and keys are not accepted.) The first step is to check the power source.
Page 115
KX-FP215 12.5.5.1. Digital Block Diagram You also need to check the signal lines listed here [List 1] when the unit fails to boot up the system. Those signal lines should remain normal. Other signal lines are not directly related to that failure even if they have faults or troubles.
Page 116
KX-FP215 Normal Wave Patterns Remarks: When you use an oscilloscope to judge whether a signal to be tested is normal or NG, perform the signal check in exactly the same order as in [List 1]. (If the ASIC fails to access the FLASH ROM, the ASIC cannot access DRAM normally.) The digital circuit actually operates according to the timing combinations of these signals.
Page 118
KX-FP215 After the power is turned on, the ASIC initializes and checks each IC. The ROM, DRAM, and modem are checked. If initialization fails for the ICs, the system will not boot up. In this case, please find the cause as follows.

KX-FP215 12.5.6. Analog Board Section This chapter provides the testing procedures required for the analog parts. A signal route to be tested is determined depending upon purposes. For example, the handset TX route begins at the handset microphone and the signal is output to the telephone line.
Page 122
KX-FP215 12.5.6.2. Defective ITS (Integrated Telephone System) Section 1. No handset transmission / reception and no monitor reception Perform a signal test in the ITS or the NCU section and locate a defective point (where the signal disappears) on each route between the handset microphone and telephone line (sending), or between the telephone line and the handset speaker (receiv- ing), or between the microphone and the telephone line (sending), or between the telephone line and the speaker (receiving).
KX-FP215 12.5.7. Digital Speakerphone The digital speakerphone has different features from the analog speakerphone. The analog speakerphone switches between Tx or Rx. Either Tx or Rx is able to pass through a telephone line or speaker, depending on the Tx and Rx signal (voice) level. The higher-level signal (either TX or RX) can pass through the route.
Page 124
KX-FP215 Note: Check to the SP-Phone Rx/Tx signal routes. (Refer to Check Sheet for Signal Route (P.121)).
KX-FP215 12.5.8. Power Supply Board Section 12.5.8.1. Key Components for Troubleshooting Check the following parts first: F101, D101-D104, C106, Q101and IC101. This comes from our experience with experimental tests. For example: power supply and lightning surge voltage test, withstanding voltage test, intentional short circuit test, etc.
Page 127
KX-FP215 12.5.8.3. Broken Parts Repair Details (ZNR101, C106) Check for a short-circuit in terminals. Visually check these parts for damages. (D101, D102, D103, D104) Check for a short-circuit in terminal 4. If D101, D102, D103 and D104 are short-circuits, F101 will melt (open).

KX-FP215 12.5.10. Sensor Section Refer to Sensors and Switches (P.31) for the circuit descriptions. The Test Function makes the sensor circuit check easier. (Refer to Test Mode (P.58).) For example, as for "COVER OPEN SENSOR", "CO" is turned ON/OFF on the display when you open or close the front cover.

KX-FP215 15.2. Gear Section This model provides a motor-driven gear mechanism for transmitting/copying documents and printing fax data. In this chapter, you will see how the gears work to select and operate a mode and how the gear section, sensors and rollers mechanically work during the main operations (FAX transmission, FAX reception and Copy).
KX-FP215 15.2.2. Mode Operation Once a mode is selected, the Drive Motor Gear rotates counterclockwise (CCW) and then the controlling positions of Swing Gears A, B and C, D, E determine which gears convey their drive power in each mode. See “Sensor Location” in Sensors and Switches (P.31).
