Hello all...

A friend of mine found a Royal Alpha 9170 cash register (rather
optimistically described as a "cash management system" from the
printing on the case). They tinkered with it and then asked me for
help in setting it up. (I have no idea where they got the idea that
I'd know anything about this. All I've ever done is repair this, that
and the other thing for them... :-) )

It's been sitting unused and the little NiCad battery on the main
board was depleted, so the programming has been lost. (Perhaps even
more amazingly, the battery has come up after letting the register sit
for a few days while plugged inand is in great physical condition.)

So now it needs to be programmed with the time, date and tax rate.
Maybe later it would be nice to program departments, clerks and stuff
like that. I've given this a few tries now and haven't really gotten
anywhere. The manuals currently available for other registers on the
Royal web site just aren't close enough, and I've tried a lot of them
to be sure. Royal was no help when contacted, they claimed to not have
the manual on file. I've even looked around to see if I could find
someone selling a manual, and I came up empty handed when I tried.

So now I thought I'd ask here, and see if anyone might have such a
manual? I'd gladly throw in a few bucks for even a decent photocopy of
one...

Look at the rear, near the power cord or socket.

Alicia, I saw that you have a manual for this cash register and was
wondering if you could forward it on to me as well. I would be happy
to compensate you for your time. I bought one used but it didnt come
with a manual. Thanks so much!! Christa

alicia, the fuse is on the main circuit board. you have to take the
top off to access it.

Hi!

I have this cash register and bought it used I am having trouble
with finding the fuse. The display lights wont come on and
can not find where to put a fuse.

I remember seeing a fuse inside the unit, and I believe it was on the
main circuit board. When you get inside, you'll find that there is a
moderately sized power transformer. As far as I can tell, it is not
directly fused. It plugs into the circuit board, and that is the first
place I saw a fuse.

It's always possible that the fuse is the problem, but if a
replacement blows when installed, there is definitely something else
wrong.

Anyways if you would like a copy of this manual

I really would! I will be contacting you right away, and I appreciate
the offer!

William I found this old conversation on Google Groups. Its a long shot but by chance do you still have a copy of the Cash Register Royal 9170 Owners Manual?
If so could you send me a copy? my email is
Thank you for your time in advance.
