1 CBR-PB3-WD ProBridge 1.1 Kalatel CBR-PB3-WD Description The Kalatel CBR-PB3-WD is a specific ProBridge unit for interfacing the DVMRe family of digital video multiplex/recorders Wayne Plus Receipt Printers (WP/RJ). One CBR-PB3-WD is required per cash register. Where multiple cash registers are connected to a single DVMRe unit, the individual CBR-PB3-WD’s are interconnected via the PB3’s built-in RS-485 network. 1.
2 Before You Begin 2.1 Installation Summary The basic steps to install the CBR-PB3-WD unit are: 1. Connect the PB3 to the Receipt Printer using the supplied cable. (If more than two PB3 units are used, verify that proper termination is set on each individual PB3 unit. 2. Connect the PB3 to the DVMRe-CT/eZT/StoreSafe unit using the supplied cable (RJ45-to-RJ45).
2.4 Installation Environment Power: Ensure that the installation site’s AC power is stable and within the rated voltage of the external power supply. If the site’s AC power is likely to have spikes or dips, use power line conditioning or an Uninterruptible Power Supply. Temperature: Observe the unit’s ambient temperature specifications when choosing a location for the unit. Extremes of heat or cold beyond the specified operating temperature limits may cause the unit to fail.
4310-0008 220VAC Power Supply Power Supply Input Voltage: 220 Volt AC Tolerance: ±10% Frequency: 50 Hz Power Supply Output Voltage: 12 Volt DC Current: 110mA Power: 1.3 Watts Connector: 2.1mm female barrel.

Termination Switch Termination is set on SW4 for PORT 0 (Dipswitch #3) Termination is important whenever multiple PB3 units are interconnected via the unit’s built-in RS485 network. The default termination setting on the ProBridge 3 unit is with termination set to ON. Whenever there are more than two PB3’s, termination on some of the PB3 units will change.
5 Detailed Installation Steps 5.1 PB3 Physical Installation 1. Disconnect the existing Receipt Printer cable from the back of the POS system and install the ECR Interconnect Cable (4310-0078A) to the Receipt Printer as shown on page 11. 2. Reconnect the Receipt Printer Cable to one of the D9F connectors on the ECR Interconnect Cable as shown on page 11. 3. Connect the other end (DB9F) to the DB9M connector on the PB3 unit. 4. Connect the PB3 Power Supply to the unit.
5.2 Configuring the PB3 for POS Interface 1. Associating ECR data to a specific camera. Dipswitches 5-8 on SW1 are used for assigning an ECR’s transaction text to a specific camera. Please refer to Section 8 for the specific dipswitch camera assignments. The default setting is for switches 5-8 to be all OFF (All switches Up = Camera 1). 2. Program the DVMRe for the desired recording functions based upon the presence of transaction text.
iii. If the unit fails to display transaction text, please go to the troubleshooting section of this manual. b. To verify proper operation using a DVMRe–CS/CD/eZ, please refer to Section 11.
6 Special Functions NOTE If these settings are used, they must be turned off before normal transaction processing will resume. 6.1 Display Memory This setting displays all internal memory settings through Port 1 on the text box window of the selected camera on a DVMRe Triplex. This allows you to quickly check what settings are in your unit. To access this mode: SW1 1 Down 2 Down 3 Up 4 Up To exit this mode, return the dipswitches to the following position: SW1 1 Up 2 Up 3 Up 4 Up 6.
As a troubleshooting tool, this element allows you to verify that the PB3 is able to send messages and have the DVMRe correctly capture data coming from the PB3. In this mode, if text can be received and displayed, yet when attempting to process ECR data fails, then some other problem exists with respect to the ECR connection (cabling) or interface setup.
To exit this mode return the dipswitches to the following position: SW1 NOTE 1 Up 2 Up 3 Up 4 Up Power must be cycled OFF and then ON to the ProBridge unit before the reset command will take effect.
7 Troubleshooting If you are unable to verify capture of transaction text, do the following: 1. Check that each device is properly powered. 2. Check that the ECR to Camera address is correctly programmed SW1. 3. Check that all cables and cable connections are correct 4. If data is being displayed but is not intelligible, the likelihood is that the baud rate is different than the default value for the selected register. Check with the baud rate settings for the Receipt Printer on your POS system.
7. Section 4 contains all of the default Jumper Settings, if it is necessary for you to manually configure the interface. Troubleshooting Guide Problem Solution Red LED is not illuminated Check to make sure the power transformer is plugged in properly. Replace power transformer. Cannot display demo text Make sure the Triplex is showing the text box on Monitor A.
8 Text to Camera Address This section contains dipswitch settings for associating a specific Cash Register’s transaction text with a specific camera on the DVMRe unit. SW1 - Dipswitches 5-8 Dipswitches 5 thru 8 on SW1 assigns transaction text for that cash register’s PB3 unit to a specific camera on the DVMRe.

11 PB3-POS with DVMRe -CD/CS Units If the unit to be connected to the PB3 is a DVMRe-CD (Duplex) or a DVMRe-CS (Simplex) unit, please note the following changes to the normal installation and configuration process below. Kalatel recommends using a DVMRe-CT (Triplex) unit to initially connect the PB3 unit to. The on-screen text display will make it easy to confirm successful capture of POS transactions.
