programmed default for ESLs and RBA. ID 204 is reserved for broadcast messages and can not be

programmed.

The code shall be stored in non-volatile memory. Battery removal shall not require the reprogramming of

the store ID code.

The following procedure shall be followed to re-program the codes:

• Press and hold buttons 5 and 6 simultaneously (> 5 seconds) until the RBA indicates that

programming mode is entered with three short flashes of the LED.

• Enter the three digits for to program the store ID. The Alt button enters a “0”.

7. Quality Assurance Provisions

A supplier who undertakes supplying assemblies to this specification shall be responsible for maintaining

the quality of the assemblies equal to or better than the quality of the originally supplied samples. At the

option of NCR, samples may be pulled from any lot and tested to determine compliance with this

specification. In the event compliance is not satisfactory, units and/or lots may be returned to the supplier

for replacement. The supplier shall pay shipping charges both ways on rejected materials.

7.1 Product Quality

When a purchase order (PO) is accepted to supply material against this specification, the supplier

assumes a responsibility for the shipment of defect-free products produced under a prevention oriented

quality system. NCR expects to receive products at the AQL specified in paragraph 9.5.

To help prevent defective product from reaching the customer, NCR is to be made immediately aware of

any knowledge the supplier has on past and current problems with the product. In the event that

problems with the product do occur, NCR uses a Closed Loop Corrective Action (CLCA) process to

isolate and correct the problems. In general, this process involves a communication to the supplier to

indicate and detail the problem, who will in turn, provide both a short and long term solution to correct the

problem in a timely fashion. Rejections may occur and shipments may be held pending the receipt and

approval of a complete failure analysis and a corrective action report from the vendor to the NCR

Corporation

7.2 Quality Documentation

A detailed description of the manufacturer’s quality program shall be made available to NCR Supplier

Chain Management (SCM). The program content will be confirmed during a facility and process audit at

the manufacturing site if required by SCM.

7.3 Warranty Period

Refer to the business agreement document between NCR and Manufacturing Supplier.

SPECIFICATION REV

497-0426473 B

17 OF 22

8. Product Acceptance

It is the intent of NCR to source materials from suppliers who provide defect-free shipments which require

no routine incoming inspection. Shipments are to be received and accepted through Dock-To-Stock or

Dock-to-Line programs.

8.1 Dock-to-Stock

Dock-to-Stock implementation does not negate the right to reinstate incoming inspection or reject and

return non-conforming material. Reinstatement will have a negative effect on the NCR Business Plan;

immediate supplier corrective action is mandatory.

All lots of items supplied to this specification shall be homogeneous in materials and construction. No lot-

to-lot changes in design or materials involved in the manufacture of product delivered to NCR will be

allowed without written prior approval from NCR.

8.2 Process Change

NCR is to be made aware of all potential materials, design, assembly, and manufacturing site changes

that may cause the product delivered to NCR to not meet specifications. All design and materials

changes must be approved in writing prior to the receipt of production quantities. NCR is to be made

aware of any potential manufacturing site changes; written approval of the change by NCR is not

required. NCR reserves the right to audit and qualify the new location in the event of a manufacturing site

change.

8.3 Quality Performance Records

Quality performance records consisting of inspection and test results shall be maintained by the supplier

in a place and manner which prevents loss or deterioration. They are to be made available to NCR for

audit and analysis. In addition, NCR will provide track supplier quality performance based on the

products they are currently providing to the NCR Corporation. The goal of the report is to the supplier

work towards continual quality improvements by meeting goals set between NCR and the supplier.

8.4 Statistical Process Control (SPC)

The supplier shall be committed to process control and a philosophy of continuous quality improvement.

SPC is a means to achieve each. It is expected that process capability will be demonstrated through SPC

and that it will be used as required to control quality characteristics.

SPECIFICATION REV

497-0426473 B

18 OF 22

8.5 Product AQL (Acceptable Quality Level)

Due to anticipated low volume, AQL is not applicable at this time. AQL will be reevaluated if volume levels

increase significantly.

8.5.1. MTBF

The RBA shall meet an MTBF goal of 500,000 hours whereby the workload is 1000 actuations per day

per Bellcore TR-332.

8.5.2. Definition of Failure

An RBA is considered to be a failed RBA if the RBA experiences one or more problems listed below. A

failed RBA will be excluded from MTBF measurement if the failure is caused by misuse or abuse during

normal operation.

• ESL’s do not respond to RBA commands when RBA is located within specified range of ESL (Battery

OK)

• Push Switch does not work

• Enclosure is cracked and/or broken

• Excessive power consumption

8.6 Quality Goal

The supplier is requested to make continuous quality improvements to the RBA until the quality targets

below are achieved.

Chapter 11: Remote Button Activator (RBA)

Overview

The Remote Button Activator (RBA) offers an easy method to check the contents of an ESL’s

registers. In a store environment, the RBA can be used to access promotional messaging,

stocking information, planogram data, or other store-specific information stored in the ESL’s

registers.

The RBA device is similar to an automotive car door lock system or garage door opener system

in both size and method of operation.

2. Using the Remote Button Activator (RBA)

Place the RBA near an ESL. Press the buttons on the RBA in the sequences listed below and the

contents of the selected ESL register displays.

Button Display Register Button Display Register

1 16 A-1 1

2 15 A-2 2

3 14 A-3 3

4 13 A-4 4

5 12 A-5 5

6 11 A-6 6

7 10 A-7 7

8 9 A-8 no action

9 8 A-9 no action

Alternate functions can also be activated by first pressing the A key and then button 1 through

When the A key is pressed, the LED turns on a little less brightly than normal to indicate

alternate mode. Within 5 seconds a number must be entered or the RBA turns off the LED and

defaults back to normal mode.

There are two ways to use the RBA to view the contents of an ESL’s registers:

1. Press and release the RBA button.

This shows the contents of the selected ESL register on the ESL LCD. After a few seconds, the

ESL LCD redisplays the contents of the original register.

Chapter 11: Remote Button Activator (RBA) B-2

2. Press and hold down the RBA button.

This shows the contents of the selected ESL register on the ESL LCD. The LED light on the RBA

blinks eight (8) times while the button is pressed. After approximately 15 seconds, the ESL LCD

redisplays the contents of the original register and the LED stops blinking.

Note: Each RBA is configured for use in a specific store and does not work on a RealPrice

System in another store.
