ARGO SERVICE MANUAL

This document may not be reproduced or distributed without the express written consent of Triton.
The ARGO line of ATMs by Triton includes a robust variety of features on the several models available. The table
below is provided for service technicians to more easily identify models.
A product label with the model number is normally located on the inside left top of the unit. If the lower cabinet is
not open, the model number can indicate what dispenser type is located below. Any model numbers ending in zero
(0) indicate that the unit was sold without a dispenser.
An XY reference may be seen throughout this manual when describing models shown. These are placeholder refer-
ences to possible model numbers, “X” referring to the business hours cabinet (1) or 24 hours level 1 vault (2) and
“Y” referring to the dispenser type (3 - MiniMech, 4-SDD, 5-NMD50, B-SCDU, or D-HCDU).
NOTE: In this document, the ARGO with the 7” display will be referenced as the ARGO 7 and the ARGO with
the 12.1” display will be referenced as the ARGO 12.

GENERAL TROUBLESHOOTING
The starting point of any repair is narrowing down the problem from all possibilities. First, you want to
localize the problem to a general area and then focus on the specific issue. Below are some of the common
sense ways of determining the general problem area. Also, some of the most common errors associated with
the target area are noted.
THE INDICATORS
The ARGO has several checkpoints that are good indicators of the source of a problem. These are LED
lights that may help to tell the story of what is going on with the machine.
 MAINBOARD (CE)
Mainboard for ARGO 7 - When the ATM is
turned on, a green LED (D12) lights to indi-
cate that the mainboard is receiving power. In
addition, there are communication indicators
for the keypad, dispenser and card reader on
the mainboard. Note the two LEDs for each
device circled in the photo. The top LED for
each is a receive (RX) communication indica-
tor and the one below that is a transmit (TX)
communication indicator. These flash red
when there is communication between the
mainboard and the device.
The communication LEDs for the EEP, dis-
penser, card reader as well as the optionally
used auxillary port perform the same as the cor-
responding LEDs on the ARGO 12 docking
board. See that discussion for further informa-
tion.
NOTE: The LEDs for the ARGO 7 mainboard
were introduced on Rev. D version. The revi-
sion version may be found on the label on the
mainboard as shown.

Mainboard for the ARGO 12 - The LEDs for this
board can be viewed through the openings in the
cover. The green LED on the right indicates that the
mainboard is receiving power and is ready for service.
The left LED will be a steady red light if there is a
problem with the processor. The middle LED has to do
with the boot process. If the boot area of the flash is
not programmed or is corrupt, a yellow LED will
blink.

 DOCKING BOARD (12.1”)
The docking board for the ARGO 12 has multiple LEDs.
The solid green LED at D15 indicates that the mainboard has switched on the LCD power.
The four green LEDs below that indicate that the associated voltages (+3.3, +5, +12, and +24)
are receiving the appropriate voltage.
The keypad (EPP), dispenser, and card reader each have two dual color LEDs. (The Auxillary
connection also has similar LEDs with the same performance, but that optionally used feature
is not discussed here.) These LEDs perform as follows:
Each of these has a TX and a RX LED. The TX indicates communicates with the applicable
device and the RX indicates communication from the applicable device to the mainboard.
Each TX and RX LED has a dual color capacity of green and red.

Example: Dispenser not found.
First verify that the TX and RX LEDs for “DISP” are both green. If they are, there is
at least a connection to the security module. Reboot the ATM and watch to see if the
TX and RX LEDs flicker red when the screen gets to the dispenser part of the POST.
If only the TX LED, then it’s time to look at the security module. It has similar
LEDs with the same meanings. Look to see if both the TX and RX LEDs for the dis-
penser port of the security module are green. Then check to see if they flicker red
when attempting communication.

LED3 and LED2 on,

(Clear plastic cover removed.)
Green is the idle state of the signal. If no data is being transmitted or received, but there is a
valid connection, the LED will be green. If the LED is not lit, then there is a problem or the
device is not connected. Even with no device connected, the TX LEDs on the mainboard
should be green when the main board is powered. If a TX LED is not lit at all, then either
there is a mainboard fault, or there is a short on that signal (either in the cable or on the periph-
eral). Disconnect the associated cable, and if the TX LED now lights green, then you know the
cable or the peripheral is bad. The RX LEDs should light green if the peripheral is connected
and has powered up. (Some card readers are an exception to this as some models do not pro-
vide enough power to drive the LED).
When data is being transmitted (via TX) or received (via RX), these LEDs will have a tiny red
flicker while still being mostly green. Generally speaking, the TX and RX LEDs should flicker
red at about the same time, indicating that two way communications is occurring. While boot-
ing (during POST), all peripherals should see some communications.
 RECEIPT PRINTER
The control board for the printer has three yellow LEDs at the top of the board, marked LED3, LED2,
and LED1, in that order as you view it on the machine. LED3 and LED2 are steadily on to indicate
readiness for service. When LED3 and LED1 are on while LED2 is off, this indicates a printer error has
occurred, e.g., out of paper, and attention is needed.

 CUSTOMER KEYPAD
The T7 EPP has three LEDs:
PGreen - Power
TRed - Tamper
CAmber - Communications
When on and ready for use, the green power
LED should be lit. If the green LED fails to
light, possible causes could be the EPP as-
sembly, the mainboard, or the EPP commu-
nications. The amber communications LED
blinks as communication is being processed.
The red tamper LED should only light when
a tamper condition is detected.
The T5 metal EPP has two LEDs:
Green - Lights briefly when the
terminal is powered on to indicate
it is getting power.
Red - This lights briefly when the
terminal is powered on, but it also
blinks continually during operation
to indicate readiness for use. When
off, it may simply mean a sleep
mode awaiting activity.

 DUAL POWER SUPPLY
If a dual power supply is serving the ARGO unit, a bank of LEDs are on the front of the power supply.
There are 5 LED indicators just above the external DC output connectors. They effectively detect DC
outputs from the primary quad output AC-DC power supply (+5v, -12v, +12v, +24v) and the secondary
single output power supply (+12v or +36v). These should always be lit when the power supply is turned
on.
OUT OF SERVICE
If the ATM is out of service, find the error code.
Check main screen for error code. Also, on the right side of the Management Functions menu,
there is a “Current Terminal Error” box which will have the error code and an abbreviated de-
scription of the error.
Error codes can be found on the Management Functions screens by performing these steps:
1. Press 2(Diagnostics) on the Main Menu.
2. Press 1(Terminal Status) on the Diagnostics menu.
3. Press 1(Current Terminal Error) on the Terminal Status menu.
If a history of terminal errors could be of value for diagnosis, on the Terminal Status menu, press
2 (Terminal Error History).
Once any resolution attempts are made to correct any error, press 3(Reset Terminal Error) on the
Terminal Status screen to attempt to reset the error to zero (0).
BLANK SCREEN
No power?
Check AC voltage to power supply unit.
Check voltages of pins on the power supply unit. Both the single and the dual power supply have
a label that indicates the proper voltage for each pin.
If there is a problem with the power supply or the voltages, the unit cannot be serviced in the field. Replace
the power supply unit.
When the power supply is turned on, these LEDs should be lit.
