GENERAL MACHINE CIRCUITRY The cash register uses an 8-bit single chip microcomputer. The CPU has 128K bytes of internal Flash ROM and 6K bytes of internal RAM, and also uses a 512Kbyte external S-RAM. It uses a 10-digit Union Jack green fluorescent display and is equipped with a battery-backed up clock that keeps tracks of the month, day of the week, date, hours and minutes.
4.3 POWER SUPPLY CIRCUIT VDRW VDRW is generated using the AC input across pins 3 of CN11.This AC voltage is rectified by D18, a RL102-E diode. The resulting DC voltage is about +30V and is used by the drawer solenoid and the buzzer. VCC, VBB VCC is generated using the 12.8V AC input across pins 1 and 2 of CN11.
-VPW The -VPW circuit uses a 26.5V AC across pins 4 and 5 of CN11. This AC voltage is rectified by D20, a RL102-E diode, and filtered by EC15. The circuit generating the -VPW uses the -30V applied to the collector of Q11, a 2SA1284D transistor, and base voltage controlled by ZD1.

4.6 RESET CIRCUIT The following four operations generate the reset signal: • External reset input via RESET pin. • Internal reset by watching timer program loop detection. • Internal reset by comparison of supply voltage and detection voltage of power-on-clear (POC) circuit. •...
4.7 POWER FAIL CIRCUIT Power Fail is detected by using the interrupting capability of low voltage circuit in the CPU. When compared to VBB and VLVI: VBB < VLVI when the voltage drops VBB > VLVI when the voltage rises, INTVLI is generated. The VLVI of power supply voltage can select the detect level by software and this model is set at 4.10V.
4.8 WINDING MOTOR CIRCUIT The winding motor power is VPRN at Printer Power voltage. Printer Power voltage is on, and WIND_ON is High, when Q2 is ON as the winding motor is run. The cash register displays are controlled by main CPU bus signals P00, P01, P05-P07, P1,P2 and P3. The operator (front) and client (rear) displays are connected in parallel.
The lower operator display and the client display are controlled by U1, ET16311 for controller. The upper operator display is controlled by U2. The ECR 6800 does not use this type of display. ECR 6800 - OPERATOR DISPLAY CIRCUIT...

The port data are encoded by U7 and U8 of 74HC138 and generate 15 stroke signals. The stroke keypad consists of a scan line (11) x return line (5) matrix, while the flat keypad consists of a scan line (15) x return line (6) matrix. ECR 6800/ECR 6900 stroke keypad Fig. 4-13 Y108540-8...
4.12 ECR 6920F KEYPAD The ECR 6920F keypad, shown in the following figure, consists of stroke keys. Fig. 4-14 Key layout The following table provides the hexadecimal code corresponding to each keypad key. Fig. 4-15 4.12.1 KEYPAD TROUBLESHOOTING PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION None of the keys work.
4.13 DRAWER CIRCUIT The drawer is activated by signal P130 provided by the CPU. This signal is normally Low, and goes High to cause the drawer to open. When P130 is High, Q1 is on. Current flows through the transistor causing the collector to be held Low, near ground potential. Fig.
4.14 BUZZER CIRCUIT The buzzer is activated by signal P141 provided by the CPU. This normally Low signal goes High on 2 conditions: • On an error tone, P141 goes High until the error condition is cleared. • On a key pip tone, P141 goes high and then returns to its Low State. This pulse is of an extremely short duration.
4.15 BATTERY CIRCUIT VBB is the battery or VCC voltage. The batteries are connected to CN12 through the three diodes D26, D27 and D29. VBB goes to the CPU and external RAM for back-up voltage. Battery characteristics Type : SUM-3 x 3 pcs Voltage : 4.5V 2SA1036K EC16...
PROBLEM CORRECTIVE ACTION Memory backup does Check the voltage at point (1) indicated in the previous figure. not work. • If the reading is almost the same as the battery voltage, replace the mainboard. • If the reading is much less than the battery voltage or 0V, replace the battery unit.
4.17 PRINTER CIRCUIT Thermal printhead The cash register printer's thermal printhead consists of heating elements that are driven by the head drivers. The serial printing data input from the DAT IN pin is transferred to the shift register synchronously with the CLK signal, then stored in the latch register with the timing of the LATCH signal. Inputting the head activation signal activates the heating elements in accordance with the printing data stored in the latch register.
