■ LEAD-FREE SOLDER

The PWB’ s of this model employs lead-free solder. The “LF” marks indicated on the PWB’s and the Service Manual mean “Lead-Free” solder. The
alphabet following the LF mark shows the kind of lead-free solder.

Example:

(1) NOTE FOR THE USE OF LEAD-FREE SOLDER THREAD

When repairing a lead-free solder PWB, use lead-free solder thread. Never use conventional lead solder thread, which may cause a breakdown or an accident.

Since the melting point of lead-free solder thread is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder thread, the use of the exclusive-use soldering iron is rec­ommendable.

(2) NOTE FOR SOLDERING WORK

Solder composition code

p

Since the melting point of lead-free solder is about 220°C, which is about 40°C higher than that of conventional lead solder, and its soldering capacity is inferior to
conventional one, it is apt to keep the soldering iron in contact with the PWB for longer time. This may cause land separation or may exceed the heat-resistive tem­perature of components. Use enough care to separate the soldering iron from the PWB when completion of soldering is confirmed.

Since lead-free solder includes a greater quantity of tin, the iron tip may corrode easily. Turn ON/OFF the soldering iron power frequently.

If different-kind solder remains on the soldering iron tip, it is melted together with lead-free solder. To avoid this, clean the soldering iron tip after com­pletion of soldering work.
If the soldering iron tip is discolored black during soldering work, clean

and file the tip with steel wool or a fine filer.

CHAPTER 1. MASTER RESET AND PROGRAM RESET

1. MASTER RESETTING

Master resetting clears the entire memory and resumes initial values.

Master resetting can be accomplished by using the following procedure:

Procedure :

1) Unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet, or set the mode switch to OFF position.

2) Let the ECR be without the memory backup battery.

3) Wait over 1 minute for discharging.

4) Set the mode switch to any position except OFF.

5) Plug in the AC cord to the wall outlet, or turn the mode switch from OFF position to another position.

The master reset can also be accomplished in the following case.

In case power failure occurs when the machine has no battery attached to it, the master reset operation is automatically performed after the power
has been restored.

(This is because if power failure occurs with no battery attached to the machine, all the memory is lost and the machine does not work properly
after power recovery; this requires the master reset operation.)

2. PROGRAM RESETTING (INITIALIZATION)

This resetting resumes the initial program without clearing memory.

This resetting can be operated at below sequence in PGM mode.

Procedure:

1) Unplug the AC cord from the wall outlet.

2) Wait over 1 minute for discharging.

3) Set the mode switch to the PGM position.

4) While holding down the FEED key, plug in the AC cord to the wall outlet.

Note: In case power failure occurs when the machine has no battery attached to it, the master reset operation is automatically performed after the

power has been restored.
