3. Distinction based on a sticker attached to the VF(COLOR) ASSEMBLY.
S TYPE K TYPE
EEPROM DATA (*1) ADRS 3CCH:01H ADRS 3CCH:05H
MONI-C PWB YB10447 SERIES YB10453 SERIES
VF(COLOR) ASSY (*2) STICKER : BLUE STICKER : PINK
(*1) It is necessary to confirm the original data (before repair work) of EEPROM.
(*2)The sticker can be confirmed by removing the COVER (UPPER).
Be careful, as stickers are not attached to all models. If there is no sticker attached, distinguish the two types by confirming
the EEPROM DATA or the part number of MONI-C BOARD ASSEMBLY.
