PCB repair and software update

Troubleshooting on the Multispace Truck

Repair of Electronic Meter Register System VEEDER-ROOT EMR4. The customer describes the error as supply problems for the printer. Everything else seems ok.

After a few measurement on the printed circuit board, it turned out that there is only 19 volts on a 24 volt DC-DC buck boost converter. The DC-DC converter gets a few new components. Subsequently, the converter is thoroughly tested, 3A load for more than an hour. The converter is testing ok and everything is packed up and sent back to the customer.
