INSTALLATION INSTRUCTION MODEL 46

UPGRADING THE MODEL 45 PCB

Before connecting a Model 46 to a Model 45 with machine No. 45033070 or lower, capacitor
C35 on the PCB PL45 need to be replaced.

CAUTION: Always handle the PCB, EEPROM, micro processor etc. in accordance with electro-

static discharge procedures (ESD). The PCB contains components that are sensitive to
ESD damage.

REMOVAL

1. Switch off the main power
switch and disconnect the
power cord.

2. Loosen the screw (1) on the
back side of the control panel.

3. Push the control panel towards
the rear side and lift it.

4. Remove the ground wire and
the ribbon cable.

5. Slide the envelope feeding
table open.

6. Open the envelope feeding
cover.

7. Remove the five screws
holding the PCB cover plate
(2).

REPLACING THE CAPACITOR

1. Cut off the legs of the new
capacitor so that 2-3 mm
remains.

2. Place the PCB face up with the
heat sinks to the left and
connector J3 to the right.
Capacitor C35 is located
between R4 and R5 just below
the processor. Cut off the
capacitor.

UPGRADING SOFTWARE IN MODEL 45 AND MODEL 306/310

In order to run a system containing a Model 45, a Model 306/310 and a Model 46, the Model
45 and Model 306/310 requires certain software versions. This instruction describes how to
upgrade the Model 45 Mailer to software version 1.16 (or greater) and Collator Model 306/
310 to software version PL90 M 1.00 (or greater).

CHECK SOFTWARE VERSION MODEL 45

The actual software version is showed in the display on the control panel when the Model 45
is powered on.

CHANGING PROCESSOR MODEL 45

CAUTION: Always handle the PCB, EEPROM, micro processor etc. in accordance with electrostatic

discharge procedures (ESD). The PCB contains components that are sensitive to ESD
damage.

1. Switch off the main power switch and

disconnect power cord and connection
cable (if present).

2. Loosen the screw (1) on the back side of

the control panel.

3. Push the control panel towards the rear

side and lift it.

4. Remove the processor (2) using the

extractor tool (part No. 95147).

5. Install the new processor (software

version 1.16 or greater) by applying an
even pressure on the processor until it
is fully inserted.

NOTE 1: On the socket under the processor there

is an arrow (4). Install the processor so
that the arrow will be pointing towards
the small dent (3) on the processor.

NOTE 2: There is no need to manually reset the

EEPROM. The new software does that
automatically. However, when powered
up the first time after processor
replacement, press the reset button

( ) when called for.

6. Install the control panel in reversed

order.

CALIBRATING MOTORS

After upgrading the software motors 3, 5 and 8 needs to be calibrated. Motors should allways

be allowed to cool off (if used) before calibration.
