ECR INTERFACE CARDS APPENDIX H

The ECR Interfaces are small PCBs that mount internally to the cash registers. These PCBs convert internal data from matrix and drum printers or thermal printers to RS-232 data. This RS-232 data is then connected directly to the VSI-Pro for display. It also can be connected directly to the Regcom to send up to 16 cash register’s data on a central collection PC or DVR.

The ECR Interfaces have many different connection types depending on the make and model of cash register. Typically the RS-232 cable comes from the rear of the register to further connect to the VSI- Pro or DVR. The manufacturer and model number of the cash register must be supplied when ordering this ECR Interface.

When using the AVE IF ECR Interface PCBs that are generally installed inside the cash register and an RS-232 connector mounted on the register or the RS-232 cable fitted through the rear of the till. These interfaces output direct converted and formatted RS-232 of the printer. This data can be connected directly to the AVE line of DVRs without additional conversion up to 100’. If additional lengths are needed then the AVE RS-232 to RS-422/485 converter can be used to extend this range to 3000’.

The Regcom interface can directly connect to these devices and report up to 16 tills on the Regcom network back to the PC Program or to the AVE line of DVRs converted using the Hydra.
