Sandpiper 2B Launch Package 2 10/04

Overview
Encore 500 Sandpiper 2B Electronics
This launch package is meant to help familiarize you with the new Sandpiper 2B
Electronics. This manual is not a replacement for the Service or Installation manuals. A
list of manuals is listed in this document under Manual References. Make sure that you
always use the most updated manuals or references. All of the appropriate manuals can
be found on the Gilbarco website GOLD in the Encore library. The new Sandpiper 2B
Electronics consists of a USB printer, Power Supply, Door Node, PPU’s and CRIND
Control Node 3. The new electronics will be available starting October of 2004. Each one
of the above-mentioned parts will be discussed more thoroughly in this launch package.

The new electronics is part of an ongoing process to make vast new improvements over
the current electronics now being manufactured and used in today’s Encore 500
dispenser. Some of the improvements directly associated with installing the new
electronics are reliability, feature ability, durability and space.

All of the new electronics have been tested and are compatible with Gilbarco and third
party POS systems.

 Sandpiper 2B Parts
CRIND Control Node 3
Part # M04108A001

Description/Enhancement
The new CRIND Control Node 3 (CCN) like the old CRIND Control Node is the
primary CRIND related option processor on eCRIND equipped Encore 500 and
Eclipse units because of its powerful microprocessor or CPU. It receives information
directly or indirectly from and/or controls the card reader, monochrome display,
printer, barcode scanner, cash acceptor, beeper, and CRIND related keypads. It also
interfaces with TRIND and supports USB communications.

The new CCN 3 has 2 USB host ports versus a host and a slave port. This is required
for driving 2 USB printers. Another new feature will be that the board is mounted
180° different. This is to allow for easier access for the cable connections. The
M04108A001 CCN is backward compatible with the M01753A001 CCN in units that
do not have the Sandpiper 2B electronics.

• By pulling back on the printer hinge pin (See above) you can rotate the printer
module assembly. The module assembly cab be rotated either to the right or left
depending on which pin is pulled. This will allow access to easily clear any
potential jams should they occur.
• If both printer connectors are removed and both hinge pins are removed the
printer module assembly can be removed for replacement.

Wrong connection

Correct connection

The above picture shows how the 24VDC power connector should be connected (lower
right) to the USB printer assembly and how it shouldn’t be connected (upper right). The
power cable should always be connected to the USB printer with the red wires closest to
the front of the printer. If not, it could result in shorting the 24VDC to GND, which could
blow a fuse. Please be careful when plugging in this connector.

 Door Node 3 With LED Backlighting
Part # M04326A001

Backlight LED Board (See Picture on page 9)

Front view of Door Node Rear View of Door Node

Enhancements-
• The new Door Node 3 now has the LON terminator built into it, therefore only
needing one LON connector. There is a two pin connector between the Door
Node and the Monochrome Display, which provides the 24VDC needed for the
Backlight power.
- The pump stop (P2111) and start button connectors (P2113) have been
combined into one connector, labeled P2111.
- The beeper is now built into the board, but the connector for the external
printer beeper still exists. The board senses the presence of the external
speaker, and will not use the internal beeper if the external one is
connected.
- There are four connectors, P2121, P2122, P2123, P2124 that have been
added, which will be used to drive the totalizers when the Door Node
software is written to support them.
- The ribbon cable to the PPU’s changes from 11 pins to 12 pins. This was
done to prevent mixing and matching of PPU and Door Node types.
- The backlight is provided by LED boards, which are field replaceable. To
replace, remove the backlight shield (See above picture) and then remove
the LED assembly. There are three sets of 4 LED’s in series, all four
center LED’s are in series, the top & bottom LED’s on the left side of the
money & volume are in series, and the top & bottom LED’s on the right
side of the money & volume are in series. They were put in series to
minimize the power consumption, and they were distributed this way to
minimize the visual impact of one string not working.

Part # M04466B001 (Main Display)
Part # M04466B003 (PPU Display)

*Example shown is for Main Display (1 inch)

Backlight LED Board

Description-
- The LED backlight board is used on the new PPU board and Door Node.
- The backlight is provided by the LED boards, which are field replaceable.
To replace, remove the backlight shield and then remove the LED
assembly. There are three sets of 4 LED’s in series, all four center LED’s
are in series, the top & bottom LED’s on the left side of the money &
volume are in series, and the top & bottom LED’s on the right side of the
money & volume are in series. They were put in series to minimize the
power consumption, and they were distributed this way to minimize the
visual impact of one string not working.

• Always make sure to replace the black plastic cover over the LED board
when replaced, otherwise the customer can be “blinded” by the direct
viewing of the high brightness LED.
