1. 52 User s Manual V2 0 Cartadis TC4N 53 9 INSTALLATION 9 1 MECHANICAL FASTENING Cartadis TC4N is supplied with a two side adhesive on its bottom You can use this adhesive to fasten it on a horizontal area of the copier If you have ordered the optional bracket you can fasten the TC4N either directly on a copier side or on the wall behind the copier 9 2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION Cartadis TC4N must be connected by a photocopier specialist TC4N is seen by the photocopier as a key counter and has therefore to be connected like a key counter TCAN has no power pack of its own it is supplied from the 24V power supply of the photocopier either through the 24V available on one of the counter pulse terminals or if this is not present directly from the 24V photocopier power supply When a full galvanic insulation between the Cartadis TC4N and the photocopier is requested either by the end user or by copier manufacturer an optional external power supply is needed This power supply has to be connected to the connector located on the rear side of the unit in that case the switch accessible from the bottom of the case has to be set to B see scheme page 55 54 Technical Manual V2 0 Cartadis TC4N In case one does not want to manage the colour or the A3 size only 6 wires need to be connected to the copier yellow wire terminal of counter pulse white wire terminal 2 of counter pulse grey wire terminal 12. Check the power supply voltage by means of the integrated voltmeter menu Vol tage from sub menu TC4N parameters It must be contained between 22 and 26 volts To check TC4N for correct operation a user s card must first be recorded see page 30 then copies must be made by means of this card and the following items checked An A4 copy counts down one and deducts a single copy on the card item to be checked in single and multicopy operation If counting down is wrong refer to page 56 about pulse filter parameter adjustment If it is preferred not to count down in single units but in another value refer to page 37 about price 1 adjustment According to the installation check the amounts debited when an A3 copy size is made in Black and White and maybe in colour Check End cycle wait parameter for correct adjustment using the following procedure 1 insert a valid user s card 2 strike the COPY key on copier and immediately after press a key on TCAN 3 check if a copy has been counted down on the card 59 10 SERVICE To get good operation from the unit the following care is advisable clean rubber driving roller with a cloth soaked in alcohol clean magnetic head with a cleaning card soaked in alcohol dedust reader assembly with a compressed air spray check write error counter The frequency of this process depends on the working environment If Cartadis TCAN is installed in an office th

4. General Principles 9 Pin Code This field is used on request If used it consists of a pin code which has to be entered after card insertion in order to enable the copier A pin code is always expressed in four figures with significant leading zeros The life time of a reloadable magnetic card depends on the number of transactions it has carried out These are counted by each card If this number is over 3000 then it won t be possible to record the card again THE OPERATOR S CARD The magnetic track of an operator s card only contains a group number GROUP NO The OPERATOR s card gives access to a subset of the programming functions It is accepted by a Cartadis TC4N if one of the three TC4N group number matches the card one This card is supplied with the unit THE ADMINISTRATION CARD TC4N SERIAL NO MAINTENANCE PARAMETERS SAVING The ADMINISTRATION card gives access to all the programming functions It is accepted by a Cartadis TC4N with an identical SERIAL number It acts also as a saving area of TC4N parameters in case of memory error all the main parameters are restored from reading this area This card is supplied with the unit 10 User s Manual V2 0 Cartadis TC4N 3 3 EXAMPLES OF US
