APG Smart SerialPRO interface #212A
Programmable Serial
An APG serial interface
works with open architecture systems that use a computer or terminal to
create point-of-sale systems without requiring a printer to operate the
cash drawer. APG's serial interfaces are compatible with all popular
software using a serial interface cash drawer.
APG's serial interfaces come
in dedicated and programmable models. The APG SerialPRO II Dedicated Serial
interface incorporates unique digital technology to maximize flexibility
and eliminate unauthorized openings, providing a higher level of
security than most other dedicated interfaces. In addition, it doesn't
require its own power supply and it is available in any of the APG cash
drawer product lines.
APG's easy-to-program, Smart
SerialPRO interface comes with a "Y" cable making it ideal when the
serial cash drawer needs to share a port with a pole display or another
device. The Smart SerialPRO is especially applicable for vertical
markets that use a standard 80 column printer at the POS workstation
such as home improvement centers, auto parts, and rental stores. This
interface is fully programmable to ensure compatibility with all
specific serial interface requirements. It's available in the APG
Classic and Series 6000 cash drawers.
Both products include DIP
switches and diagnostic lights to facilitate easy programming and quick
installation. A drawer status reporting feature is included to support
the system's security. Digital technology ensures that these interfaces
will not accidentally activate when the power goes on or off.
In an open architecture
system, the best solution is an APG serial interface cash drawer.

Smart SerialPRO®
Programmable Serial Interface
Product description
The Programmable Serial interface is the most secure and versatile
cash drawer interface for serial interface applications. Its unique
design allows it to be programmed to your specific opening character
sequence with the use of a set of DIP switches located on the bottom of
the drawer. This programmability, combined with the supplied "Y" cable,
allows the drawer to share a serial port with another cash drawer or
another serial device such as a pole display. A drawer status switch
feature allows for better cash control by reporting back the drawer
position.
Diagnostic lights mounted on the circuit board make setup quick and easy
when time is critical. The included set of gender change connectors make
installations go quickly since it can be plugged into any standard
serial port.
