24V and 5V power are supplied to the Buffer Pass Controller PCB through the Finisher Controller PCB.
The power input circuit of Buffer Pass Controller PCB is also provided with a fuse which is blown when an excessive current flows.
The 24V circuits (used to drive the motors) are provided with the fuses or the motor drivers with an overcurrent protective function to provide protection from the over current.
When upgrading the firmware of the Buffer Pass Controller PCB, upgrade from the host machine.
(Refer to the service manual for the host machine as to the detail.)
Periodically Replaced Parts
There are no parts that need to be periodically replaced on the buffer pass unit.
Consumable Parts
There is no consumable parts on the buffer pass unit.
Check that the main power switch is OFF and the power plug is disconnected from the outlet.

Hazardous area such as corners, edges, springs and other sharp sections may be remaining on products. Always be aware of the presence of hazardous area to avoid injury caused by contacting and/or striking those area, by not overconcentrating on service work.
When performing cleaning using organic solvent such as alcohol, be sure to check that the component of solvent is vaporized completely before assembling.
Follow the items below to assemble/disassemble the device.
DOUBLE POLE/NEUTRAL FUSING
The fuse may be in the neutral, and that the mains shall be disconnected to de-energize the phase conductors.
Points to Note when Tightening a Screw
When a thin plates is used in some parts for the light weighting purpose, warn the following.
In the case of a screw hole with a triangle mark near it as shown in the figure below, strongly tightening the screw may damage or deform the screw hole.
In the case of a screw hole with a triangle mark, take care not to apply too much force when tightening the screw.
The recommended torque value is shown below as a reference value.
