Posiflex FT-7715 - Manual (Page 10)

Part 10
CONNECTING CASH DRAWER (OPTIONAL)
The RJ11 connector in main connection area of a FT-7715 system can
be used for controlling most of the common cash drawers with 12V signal
available on the market. However, it is most recommended that the Posiflex
CR-2000 or CR-2200 or CR-3100 or CR-3200 or CR-4000 or CR-4100 or CR-
4210 or CR-6200 be used for best compliance.
The FT-7715 system will directly control the cash drawer using the
cash drawer port (CR) both to operate the opening mechanism and to monitor
the drawer open status. Both functions may be accomplished under software
control of the COM1 serial port.
Use the cable supplied with the cash drawer (Part No. 21863018010)
for connection to the CR port in FT-7715 system. This cable has a 6-pole plug
at one end and an 8-pole plug at the other. The 8-pole plug should be inserted
into the connector marked: “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of the
cash drawer. The 6-pole plug should be inserted in the connector marked “CR”
found in the main connection area in the system.
The user may also use the optional 2-in-1 cash drawer control cable
CCBLA-238 to control 2 cash drawers in 1 port. It has a 6-pole plug at one end
and two 8-pole plugs at the other. The 6-pole plug should be inserted in the
connector marked “CR” found in the main connection area in the system. Each
8-pole plug should be inserted into the connector marked “signal cable from
POS Printer” at the rear of one of the cash drawers. The cable lengths for the
two 8-pole plugs are different. Use the shorter one for the original cash drawer
“CR1” and use the longer one for the extended cash drawer “CR2” that will be
distinguished by the software command.
CONNECTING INTERFACE CABLES
Please connect all required interface cables to the appropriate
connectors. Please make sure that each connector is connected to the correct
port with the correct orientation. Damages due to incorrect connection or
orientation are not covered by product warranty!
Some connectors like the LAN or CR connector have to be gently
inserted until a click is heard. Please note that the click lock spring has to be
pressed down prior to pulling out the connector for later removal of the cables
from these ports. It is recommended that connector such as the external VGA
port be screwed into place once seated.
Connect the cables to appropriate external devices. Please make sure
that each connector has to be connected to the right device in the right way.
CAUTION: While doing any insertion or extraction of any connector,
please always hold the connector head itself instead of pulling
on the cable wire. Failure to do this could damage the cable
and jack that is considered as an artificial destruction and is
