INSTALLATION GUIDES
CAUTION: Before installing any cables or peripherals to the terminal, please
always make certain that the system is turned off and the external
power source is removed to prevent electric hazard! Never touch
any pins within the connectors or circuits to avoid high voltage
hazard or electrostatic discharge. Failure to follow this caution may
cause damage to the unit.
SEPARATING MAIN UNIT
In order to properly install the TP-6000 terminal, all cables must be routed
through its base. Therefore, please press the lock/release button at the rear side to
separate the main unit from the stand assembly.
However, in view of the mass distribution of the whole assembly, it is most
recommended to lay the system facing down on front panel over a soft clean flat
surface first. Press the button and slide the stand assembly to the panel downward side
to detach the stand assembly away from the back of the main unit could then be an
easier operation. This approach can also be applied when later on the main unit and
the stand assembly have to be reunited.
Press the Lock/Release button
and slide the stand assembly
to the panel downward side
to detach it from the main
unit.

PREPARING STAND ASSEMBLY
Take the adjustable stand assembly and turn it up side down to show the
bottom of the base.
Now, remove the 2 screws on the
cable passage cover and lift the cable
passage cover away from the base, to
show the passage.
If there is no need to install the optional UPS battery here (either not to be
installed or already installed), please skip the next paragraph and start routing cables
through the cable passage. Otherwise, please remove the four screws holding the
battery cover to install the battery.

INSTALLING UPS BATTERY
Place the optional UPS battery in the battery compartment (shown top left).
Screw on the battery cover and route the battery cable through the base. Please enable
the UPS features in the software settings before use.
ROUTING THE CABLES
Place all required cables into the cable passage.
Insert one end of the cable passage cover under the
battery cover and replace the two screws. Be sure not
to damage any of the cables during this operation.
Now, turn the adjustable stand
assembly back to normal orientation and arrange all cables so
that they will be easily connected after the terminal is mounted
to the base.

PREPARING THE MAIN UNIT
On the back of the main unit, there are 4 matching pegs and a service window.
Push the service window open, in the direction indicated in the picture. Below, one
can find a button cell battery socket, a 1 x 3 header (JP10) with 1 jumper and a 2 x 3
header (JP8) with 2 jumpers.
This battery socket requires a 3V button cell Lithium battery (CR2032) to
support the system clock. The jumpers in this window are designated for COM port
power supply and UPS battery detect functions. Please contact your dealer for
technical support on setup of these jumpers. A new Lithium battery can support the
system RTC for about 3 years. After the battery is nearly exhausted, the user must
replace the battery otherwise the system RTC and system configuration setup will be
lost.
JOINING MAIN UNIT AND STAND
Align the matching pegs on the back of the main unit against one of the two
sets of matching holes on the stand base. It is recommended that the terminal be
hooked onto the lower set of holes for better stability. First aim the matching pegs

toward the upper round part of the hole and make sure that all pegs have been
properly seated. Then slide the main unit down to move the pegs into the narrow
section of the slot until the rear latch clicks. Note that all the cables come out of the
stand from the lower edge and won’t get trapped by this mounting operation. If later
on you want to remove the main unit from the stand, you’ll have to press down the
lock/release button on back of the stand when lifting the main unit.
OPENING CABLE COVER
Insert the tip of the latchkey into a latch hole on one side near bottom of the
main unit. Turn this key counterclockwise to the end. Do the same on the opposite
side. Be sure to take the key out of the hole.
Then push the lock/release lever on the base backward to adjust the stand to
the most horizontal position for ease of operation. Open the cable cover by pulling at
the removal hole.
Turn Counterclockwise
Then Take Out The
Latchkey
Pull The Removal Hole
Away from the machine.

TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 3 - 6
CONNECTING CABLES
Connect the required cables to the appropriate connectors. Please make sure
that each connector is connected to the right port with the correct orientation. Some
connectors, such as the LAN connector, the external FDD connector, the power
connector, the cash drawer connector, and the COM4 connector for the conversion
cable have to be inserted until a click is heard. It is recommended that connectors such
as the external VGA connector, the LPT port connector and the COM port connectors,
be screwed into place once seated. If the COM1 port must be used, the COM1
terminator that occupies the COM1 port must be removed. However, when using the
COM1 port, be sure to use devices that provide proper handshaking signals in order to
keep the cash drawer control features. A serial mouse is one example of a device that
does not support handshaking. Adjust the slack of each cable and close the cable
cover. Use the same plastic latch key that is used when removing the cable cover, but
be sure to turn it in the clockwise direction to lock the cover in place. Re-adjust the tilt
angle of the screen for best viewing.
CAUTION: Before inserting or extracting the power plug, be sure to pull the
outer sleeve of the plug away from the machine to release the
internal latch. Failure to do this could damage the power connector.
Such damage is considered to be user error, and will not be covered
by the warranty.
INSTALLING CASH DRAWERS
When there is only one cash drawer installed, connect the standard cable
CCBLA-180 or CCBLA-180-1 that comes with the cash drawer to the RJ11C jack
next to the PS2 KB connector (be careful not to connect this cable to the Modem
connector or the COM4 connector on the left).
When there are two cash drawers being installed, please purchase and use the
optional cash drawer control splitter cable CCBLA-238. The CCBLA-238 has a 6 pin
male connector at one end and two 8 pin male connectors at the other. The 6 pin
connector should be inserted in the connector marked “CR”, found on the cabling
panel of the TP6000 series. Each 8 pin connector should be inserted into the connector

TP6000 USER’S MANUAL 3 - 7
marked “signal cable from POS Printer” at the rear of each cash drawer. The cable
lengths for the two 8 pin plugs are different. Use the shorter one for the first cash
drawer “CR1” and use the longer one for the second cash drawer “CR2” that will be
controlled by the application software. Using this method, the TP6000 is capable of
controlling two cash drawers independently through software command.
WALL MOUNTING
The main part in the wall mounting kit is a bracket as shown in the picture.
When mounting the TP-6000 bracket to a wall, be sure that the widest part of each of
the four holes faces in the upward direction (see picture below). Align the four
matching pegs on the back of the main unit to the four matching holes in the bracket
to hold the main unit in a similar manner as installing the main unit onto the stand
assembly. The stand assembly is not used with a wall mount installation.
LOCATION FOR INSTALLATION
Since the stand assembly is not involved in wall mount installation, only the
space required for wall mount application will be taken into consideration. The space
required is 375 mm in width and 315 mm in height.
For desk top/counter applications, the adjustable stand assembly requires a
base 270 mm deep and 260 mm wide. However, please take the main unit into
consideration. If the main unit is tilted to the near vertical position, the total height can

be either 360 mm or 380 mm depending on the adjusted position. When the main unit
is tilted to near horizontal position, the total height required is 275 mm.
